OFFICERS TO MAKE FIGHT
HANDBOOK BETTING ALLEGED

Several shifts Wil probably he made in
the policc department. in the near future
according to Mai. Sylvester, as the re-
suit Of an Investigation which has been
conducted during the last week or two
into the alleged misconduct of several
members of the force in connection in
part, with handbook operations. It is un-
derstood that several of the men involv-
ed intend to fight any attempt which
may be made to transfer them. They
Will do this not because Of any particular
objection to being transferred, but be-
cause they are being transferred under
fire"
The Investigation has embraced men in
all branches of the service, according to
rurnors which are afloat, from the lowest
man in the ranks to some Of the highest.
1t is claimed that Maj. Sylvester has
found nothing upon which to base sworn
charges against any member OF the force.
He states, however, that he will probably
make several shifts for the good Of the
service. No charges will be made unless
more definite information is obtained.
In addition to the changes, it is regard
ed as likely that those men who are fond
of the races will not be able to obtain
leave of absence while horse races are
in progress at Baltimore or any nearby
places.

High Official Subject of Rumor.

It is known that Maj. Sylvester started
an inquiry shortly after rumors became
current that high official in his depart
ment had been seen with an alleged hand
book man. The investigation did not stop
at the one man, however, the superin-
tendent being anxious to ascertain IL
other members of his force had been do
ing anything contrary to the rules of the
department
Shortly after the investigation was be-
gun the superintendent Of police broad
ened it's scope, 1t is stated, and from day
to day questioned many members of the
force and looked over many of the rec
ords. The question of fondness for the
races and the tendency to bet by mem
bers of the force came to the knowledge
of the chief of police, and he learned that
certain members had been in the habit of
taking their leave at times when the
horses were running in Baltimore.
Some policemen. it is said, admitted
they are fond of playing the races,
and told of their visits to tracks
in other cities, admitting they
had backed some winners and some losers.
They had played some of the good
things that had been sent them, with
yarying results

Defend Their Actions.

had done no harm by playing the races.
1t was explained by them that betting
on the track at Pimlico is legalized by
the state of Maryland. and that they were
violating no law when they placed bets.
Furthermore, they contended, they were
off duty and out Of the jurisdiction and
the department had not the right to eX-
ercise authority over their acts.
1t was brought out by the investigation
that some members of the police force
were in the habit of betting when the
races were run on the Benning track.
Maj. Sylvester had already known that
policemen played the races at Benning
and he also recalled that the department
madean effort to stop it.
Evening star., 1911-08-13
Anonymous Letter Starts Probe.

The investigation was started after Maj.
Sylvester received an anonymous letter
which purported to give facts regarding
the misconduct of one or more members
of the force. Much of the letter was
devoted to the handbook question Fol-
lowing the receipt of the letter came the
rumors of what had been learned about
certain members of the force by employees
Of the Department of Justice who were
brought here from New York and Chi
cago to investigate the handbook trouble.
Maj. Sylvester says he has worked
harmoniously with the Department of
Justice and the United States attorney
and that there was no reason for dis
cord. His men, he says, employed an
outsider to get testimony for them, and
if the jury acquitted the men who were
arrested, it was not the fault of the
police as they had made an honest ef-
fort to secure convictions.
