Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCHESTER,, n Y, June 13.-Ad-
dressing the International Association OF
Chiefs Of Police, OF which he Is presi-
dent, Maj. Richard Sylvester, head of the
police force Of Washington, D. c.. told
the members Of the association today
that the national government is getting
in closer touch constantly with state and
municipal authorities in the prevention Of
crime and the apprehension OF criminals.
Reviewing the events Of the last year.
Maj Sylvester declared that conditions
have improved generally in the police
departments of the country, and that the
cooperation between federal and local
authorities is one of the encouraging
signs for still more effective work In the
future.
He urged as one Of the greatest neces-
stiles of American police methods cen
trail bureau of Identification. the exist
ence of which, ne maintained, would
have a moral effect in preventing crime
as we'll as be of incalculable assistance
in leading to the detection Of criminals.
1T was but a few years ago. said
Maj Sylvester. speaking of the COOP
Grafton between the federal and state
and local governments, when this CO.
operation did not exist, but most of us now

ties in the suppression of assault upon
post offices, and many of the appre-
tensions of post office robbers have been
effected through the harmonious action
of the police and special agents. e
War Department has expressed appre-
citation of the assistance rendered by us
in the prevention of assertions and IN
the location of deserters. We readily ex-
tend to all of the departments our knowl-
edge, experience and facilities to reduce
the number of violations of the federal
law

Use Of Finger Prints.

In reference to the need of q central
bureau of Identification, Maj. Sylvester
said:
THE existence Of an identification bu-
reau. in connection with the department
Of police in any community. is a deter
rent to crime. In London the hundreds
Of thousands OF finger prints accumulated
from all parts of Great Britain lessen
chances for criminal escapes and aid
materially in the administration of JUS
tice in the courts, and the record thus
impressed is avoided by many who would
otherwise do wrong
I'm the United States about 1874 police
partments utilize the Bertillon method
of identifying criminals and about sixty
nine employ the finger print means, sixty
four Of these being operated by the same
cities that use the metric of Bertillon. SO
that in reality the identification princi-
plies are confined to 1863 departments in
all
These are not sufficiently numerous to
affect q system, primarily because only
half of them have connected themselves
with the central bureau Of identficatio
in Washington. The subscription rate for
departments is SO trivial that any one Of
them is many times compensated by be-
ing subscriber to its support
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-06-13
Cost Would Be Small.

There is no reason why every police
organization should not have as fea-
ture of its headquarters a finger print
outfit for taking the impressions OF
criminals. It costs but a small sum, and
is easily operated and filed, and II all Of
the members of this association would
adopt it and forward duplicate impress
sions to the central bureau the network
would be very closely drawn about those
who professionally violate the laws, and
the moral effect for crime prevention
would be good let me urge upon you
the Importance OF this matter to the end
that all will assist in this effort for a
system which already has been so salts
factorily advanced and which is unques-
tionably assured.
The address of Maj. Sylvester occupied
more than hour. and was an exhaus-
tive report. covering every detail of
police administration and the improve
ments being made with respect to them
growing out Of the cooperation not only
of the various governments, but Of the
public as well. which, he declared, was
becoming better educated to the duties
and difficulties OF the police.

Text of Regulations.

That no person owning or having pos
session or control OF any land in the DIS
trict Of Columbia shall allow water 10
stand thereon in any manner whatsoever
SO as to endanger the health OF persons
living in the vicinity Of such land. Any
person VINO shall violate the provisions OF
this section shall, upon conviction Thereon.
be punished by fine not exceeding sou.
There are two conspicuous examples OF
standing water in the District now, al
least and thest two are giving the au-
thorities some little study. one OF these
areas lies back of the houses on Cathedral
avenue northwest in a deep gully, la1d out
on the maps as .'o3d street" Actually
there is no street, but part of the ground
Is well defined. mucky, rank swamp.
Notices were served on the property own
ers to drain off the water. get the place
dry and to fight the mosquito. The own
ers replied to the Commissioners that the
swamp is the direct result of the grading
of the street at Cathedral avenue and
that the District Is responsible Had IT
not been a rainy morning DIR. Woodward
and Capt. Mark Brooke were going to
take a look at the swamp today. as there
is a question of who shall be the cham
pion TO kill the pesky mosquitoes there,
the District or the property owners.

Need But Little Water.

1.-The mosquito. however. is rather
small insect. and a very small amount
of water sufices for its propagation. In
fact, certain species OF mosquitoes. the
malaria carrying mosquito among them,
breed by preference in small collections
of water rather than in large marshes
and other similar places. a TIN can niieu
with water or broken fruit Jar or
bottle similarly filed forms a thorough
~ satisfactory breeding place. Another
breeding place. and one that is ln1re-
uuently overlooked. Isl the water standing
in the trap drains located in the ward
and area to carry off surface water
In the absence of more comfortable
breeding places, the mosquitoes deposit
their eggs in the quiet recesses of the
ward drains and before long the young
insects swarm out TO prey upon persons
living in the vicinity. and this generation
of mosquitoes in turn deposit their eggs
in similar places, and so the process is
repeated.

Subject of Complaint.

Another pond or swamp lies back OF
the 300 block in Highland avenue. and
is said to be caused by certain sewer
department work there People have
complained and have asked the District
TO applv its own regulations to itself.
Speaking Of the mosquito and its habit
of carrying malaria germs around from
ankle to ankle DR.. Woodward said this
morning.
THE public is we'll informed with re-
spect to the annoyance and discomfort
that a hoard of hungry mosquitoes can
cause, and reasonably well informed with
respect TO the power of these insects TO
cause malarial fever and certain other
diseases. The fact, too, that mosquitoes
breed in standing water Is well known.
and persons are often mystif1ed by the
presence of considerable numbers OF mos
quitoes in localities where apparently no
standing water can be found.

Gobs of Gum His Bane.

Grandfather Henry Bicknelrs wrath
is one of the most beautiful manifesto
tions that it is the privilege of the or
binary mortal to see. When Bicknell
explodes Vesuvius is jealous and Mt
Pelee bows Its head in shame
Bicknell has declared war on gobs
of gum. With a lot of necessary and
some unnecessary verbiage Bicknell
today started a crusade against people
who make 1t a habit to ornament his
furniture with gum.
They come in here" said Bicknell
''and slip a big COB of gum onto the
floor or bead the chairs up with Ii. II
keeps busy scraping it OFF the floor
and tables"
When Bicknell sells gum he AYERS
that he does not sell the privilege OF
smearing his place up with 1t. The
idea was suggested to him that he
might put in a gum rack where pat
rons might stick their gum while they
are eating ice cream. A check could be
given out with each COB of gum SO
that the rightful owner could get IL
when he is ready to leave.

He met another lad there who took
