AT THE HOTELS
CONVENTION OF POLICE CHIEFS
is BIG THING FOR THE CITY

'Los Angeles should give Chief Kern
great credit for the clever way in which
he advertised the city at the conYen-
ton of police chiefs in Detroit TINS
summer" said John E. Farley, who Is
in the city to look over the Southern
California service of the Thiel detect
i've service, following his appointment
to the general management of the IA
cific division. "Chief Kern accom-
plished what police chiefs west of the
Missouri river have been trying to DO
without success for several years. They
have been unsuccessful In getting rec
ognition for that section by the Inter
national Association of Police Chiefs,
but when Kern took hold he laid his
plans in o manner characteristic OF
your city and brought solid move
ment from the west in behalf of Los
Angeles for the 1909 convention: MI
agara Falls had been considered before
that as next years convention city,
but the way In which Kern gathered
1t in has given the city some good ad-
vertising by the chiefs since they re-
turned to their homes"
Mr.. Farley Is a notable figure at the
international gathering of police chiets
He has been with the Thiel service
since it was established in 1873, but
this is his first official connection with
the Pacific coast. He was for several
years chief of the Denver police oe-
partment. In 1875 he opened the New
York office for the Thiel service, but
most of his secret service work has
been in the Rocky mountain states and
middle west. Mr.. Farley makes his
headquarters at San Francisco, put
will spend several weeks in Los Ange-
| les to familiarize himself with the city.
The International Association of Po-
lice Chiefs is regarded as one of the
| most important convention events be-
cause of the advertising which the vis-
| iting officials can give city. The 1909
convention will come to Los Angeles
next spring probably In May.
