his home nearby and procured razor.
He then returned to the corner. and
Hall. who was standing near lamp post
caught sight of him when he was about
ten feet away. He then renewed IS

Another innovation came from Maj. Syl-

watchmen with a new badge. In design
it is the same as those worn by the met
ropolitan police, the distinguishing mark
being the words Special Officer on
either side of the bas-relief representa-
ton of the Capitol building.
Harry Hand who has the distinction
of wearing the first uniform of the spe-
cal officers. is District man and has
figured in some notable cases. He is too
young, however to have known anything

members of the Night Watchmen's AS

hand to the regulars in any emergency.
They are a lready required to report to
the several station houses in which their
beats are located before going on duty
and to turn in calls every hour through
the patrol boxes. They also promptly
obey the orders of the captains lieu
tenants and sergeants of the precincts in
efforts to overhaul lawbreakers. besides
keeping vigilant watch over the property
of the business men and residents in
their particular bailiwicks.

Government Clerks Victimized.

Complaint has been made by govern
ment employees that clever sneak thieves
are operating in the corridors of depart
ment buildings. devoiing their activities
to lifting overcoats, hats and similar
personal belongings.
SO far every trap to catch the culprits
has failed. The crowded condition of some
government buildings makes 1t necessary
to place in the corridors the lockers
In which the clerks keep their coats and
hats. From ann. until :. pm visito $

that the sneak thieves mingle with sight
