Commissioners Asked to
Relieve Conditions at
Police Stations.

in his annual report submitted 70
the Commissioners yesterday, Major
Sylvester again directs special atten-
ton to the unsanitary condition of the
First. Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth,
Eighth. and Ninth precinct stations.
I'm the interest Of decency and bu-
mainly" says the major, improvements
should be made at these buildings
with regard 10 the First precinct
station which stands just south of Penn
sylvania avenue opposite the postoffice
the report says:
Dark, damp, and aged. this build
ing is unfit for the temporary confine-
ment of persons. much less as a domi-
Gle for the members Of the force who
must sleep there when on reserve duty.
This building has been condemned by
the police surgeons. Strong AMI hardy
members of the force have succumbed
TO disease by having TO make this build
ing their quarters. Malaria. typhoid.
and kindred troubles have resulted from
officers being housed there.
a modern station should be erected
10 take its place
The other stations TO which he refers,
1t is said, are also IN need Of improve
ments-
With regard TO the telephone opera
tors at Police Headquarters whose sala-
Ties he has recommended be increased
from $500 10 $40 PEI annum the major
says:
These employees have never had an
Increase Of pay although their work
has probably doubled since the estab-
lishment Of the bureau IN waich they
operate. They have no Sundays or hOli-
davS of. IN view Of the continuous
calls on their efforts and the increased
cost OF living they are surely deserv-
ing OF such relief. Intelligence. alert
ness, and clerical ability are required Of
the men in this service. They must be
familiar with the rules. orders, and reg
ulatiOns Of the department as well az
the Law and musk keep accurate rec

The various members of the COM

eral men have made this their excuse

the whole matter is that smaller as

does large one, in that the chances
for income on the large buildings are
greater than with smaller structure.

FIGURE IN THE CASE
Such Are introduced in the
Trial Now on in the
Circuit Court.
HARVEY VS.. THE BIG FOUR.
1T is PROBABLE THE CASE WILL
BE TURNED OVER TO THE JURY
BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

The case of Mrs. Sarah NJ. Harvey,
who is suing the Big Four railroad
for $1,000 damages, still occupies the
attention of the circuit court. This
is the third day of the trial and it
is expected that arguments in the
case will be heard tomorrow morning
1t is probable that the case will be
turned over the the jury Thursday.
Mrs. Harvey was injured a year ago
last January at Mooreland. Ind. ten
miles east of New Castle, while walk
ing up the steps of the station one
that there were no lights displayed
on the station platform and as q re-
suit of this negligence she tripped on
4 step and fell. breaking her knee
cap and suffering other injuries.
Mrs. Harvey appears in court each
day and uses a cane to assist her in
walking. She has pronounced limp.
To show the extent of the injuries,
Mrs. Harvey sustained. X-ray photo
graphs of her broken knee cap have
were taken shortly after
the accident and clearly show the
broken knee bones. This is one of
the few cases ever tried in the circuit
court in which X-ray photographs
have been introduced and admitted
as exhibits. They were the objects
of much attention from the jurymen.
