FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY.
Increased Police Powers Urged for
Park Watchmen.

The watchmen employed i'll the public
parks and reservations in the District will
be given increased police powers If Con-
Sress enacts certain legislation recon-
mended by Col. Bromwell the engineer
officer in charge He has represented 10
the House appropriations committee that
the park watchmen are handicapped iii
the enforcement of the laws and regu-
ations for tile care and protection of
public grounds in the District because
of the limitations of their authority.
Although they have complete police juris-
diction within the limits of the public
reservations, there is. says Col BromWell.
some doubt TO their jurisdiction over
the aJacent streets. In fact, he says.
the District government claims iurSdc-
ton over the streets. including side
walks, forming the boundary in whole
or in part of the government parks. and
he adds that such is the general impress
sion among the people. The result. he
says, is that certain persons who viola te
the rules of the parks consider them
selves immune from arrest by the watch
men when they escape to the street Al
though there have been several cases OF
that kind the authority of the watch
men to make arrests outside of the ac-
tual limits of the public area has never
been put to the test of a judicial decision
In order to remove all doubt on the
subject. Col Bromwel recommends that
the park watchmen he given police juris-
diction over all streets and avenues abut-
ting on public reservations, or at least on
all public throughfares between such
reservations. such as streets about the
White House and the streets through the
Mall He explains that he does not de-
sire to deprive the District police of
jurisdiction over these streets but simply
to have the park policemen coordinate
with them in preserving order in the
streets about the parks.

Early the morning of February 8. while
sailing at a good gait, the vessel struck
a submerged obstruction, knocking loose
some of the planking on her bottom.
The vessel filed rapidly and In a few
hours was water-logged and only kept
afioat by the cargo. The men aboard
were forced to stay on deck. as the
CA bins were flooded.
The outlook for them was dark, when
the schooner Thelma. Capt Spofford,
bound from Savannah to New York,
came in sight Signals were made and
the crew of the Ball was taken off.
At that time the sea was heavy. The
Ball was unmanageable and was about
$50 miles to the eastward of the Chesa-
peake. To land the crew the Thelma

The schooner Richard F. c. Huntley,
with lumber from Jacksonville, was
picked up at sea by the tug Reliance
and lowed into New York The vessel
was leaking badly and the crew was
exhausted by hard work at the pumps to
keep the vessel afiOat.
The Hartley left Jacksonville for New
York January 26 and had heavy weather
all the way up the coast. In a severe
blow several of her sails We're split two
planks in her side We're stove in by
pounding seas and the existence of a
serious leak below was shown by the
speedy accumulation of six feet of
water in her hold.
BY the hardest kind of work her crew
managed to keep her afloat until help
came.
