COPS At CROSSINGS
In NEED OF AID
William Mex. Clayton APP
peals for Legislation.
SIGHTED BY THE RAILWAYS
President of Citizens Federation
Believes Men Who Handle Tranic
Should BE Put on Same Plane
with Members of FOrce-Capital
an UnpoIiced City, He Declares.

The movement for the enactment Of
legislation placing crossing policemen on
the same plane with members Of the
metropolitan police force, in regard to
leave Of absence, wages. and care in
case of injury, was Endorsed by the
Brightwood Park Citizens Association at
a meeting last night. The question was
introduced by William NICK Clayton. who
made a strong plea for the policemen.
AT present crossing policemen are en-
ployed by the railway companies, being
given the authority to make arrests" said
Mr.. Clayton. THE railway companies are
not very we'll satisfied with the arrange
ment, but they are required by law to
furnish such men at specified crossings.
Receive No Relief.
They receive no sick or annual leave.
In case they are injured, they receive
no assistance, either medical or financial,
from the companies. Such conditions are
deplorable. These men are of vast serV-
ice to the people OF the District. and they
should be given proper treatment for
their public service
Mr. Clayton then turned his words to-
ward the general need of the police de-
partment.
washington is an unpollced city," he
said 1T should be ashamed OF its
small force. In st. Louis nearly twice
as many officers are furnished for the
same territory as in the National Capital.
Congress should take some action imme-
diately providing for a larger force
The association adopted a resolution
favoring the operation of the Brightwood
cars during the morning and evening
hours nf
craving and Printing. 1t is pointed out
in the resolution that many residents of
the Brightwood section are employed at
the bureau. The delegate from the as
sociation to the joint committee of five
associations of that section of the city
for the consideration OF railway matters
was directed to place the question before
the body at its next meeting.
VIII Confer with Taft.
Mr.. Clayton, who is president of the
Federation Of Citizens Associations, an
nounced that a special committee of that
organization will hold conference at
the White House with President Taft
next Wednesday to recommend to the
Chief Executive the insertion of certain
important questions relative to the Dis
tHct in his message to Congress. Many
of the vital questions now before the
people OF the District will be discussed
with President Taft.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. Clayton
and unanimously adopted, commencing
Judge A. r. Mullowny. Of the Police
Court, for his faithful and efficient serv-
ices on the bench and recommending to
the President the disappointment OF the
incumbent for another term.
The association ordered the secretary
to compliment the Takoma Park Ciu-
zens' Association for its efforts in OBJ
tanning the new $4,000 branch Of the
Public Library and to send literature to
members of the BrightwO0d ark Asso-
citation. urging them to make use OF the
institution.

forced to commit the crime believing ne
would suffer If he did not.
II didn't do it," said Smith. IF did,
would say so, and you could shoot me
down now. You can shoot me down any
way. 1 don't care"
How are you going to get yourself
out Of this scrape?" he was asked.
IN get out of it, all right" he re-
piled; maybe by getting somebody else
in. and maybe I'll get out with a rope
around my neck. l reckon If Bennett
dies that's what I'll GET
Smith lays back on the narrow bench
in his squald cell and gets snatches OF
sleep between his forced interviews with
the police. When he is awake he smokes
cigarettes, curled up at the back end OF
the bench. with his dull eyes glinting
in the thin light. He complained of a
headache last night and asked for some
apples When they were brought he ate
them with manifest relish.
What sort of food do you get here?"
he was asked.
Beans. without spoon to cat 'er1
with, and coffee. Pretty good grub for
a place like this he said.
There is little white fox terrier which
runs about the station house where Smith
is confined, and occasionally he stretches
his nose between the bars and shifts ct
the man accused of attempting to kill his
master. 1t is the pet dog which was
with Bennett on the fatal morning.
WAS this the dog that was with Ben
net the night he was assaulted" Smith
was asked last night.
YES" he said, and then hurriedly cor
rected himself, saying. Il don't know"
II hope you'll sleep WELL, said his
visitor on leaving him last night.
There IS no doubt about that" said
Smith. 81 have nothing to keep me
awake"
The police say that he talked more last
night than at any time since his in
generation. and that after his guests
departure, he relapsed into stolid silence.
