TO PROTECT INAUGURAL
/. CROWDS FROM ROBBERS
Maj. Sylvester Plans to Ac-
quaint Public With Crooks
Through Photographs.

Chief of Police Sylvester is going to in
to protect persons from being victims of
robbers during the inaugural period His
idea is to acquaint the general public
with the appearance of the thieves who
have recently been arrested in different
sections of the country. especially the
miliar that they will be unable to re-
main on the streets many hours before
they are identified.
The plan the chief has adopted includes
the establishment of miniature roSues' gal
leiieS in hotel Hobbies. railroad and steam
boat stations and other public places, so
that persons who interest themselves
enough to study the faces of the crooks
will be in a position to cause their ar
rest
Other Cities Asked to Assist.
1t is the intention of Maj. Sylvester
to procure about 900 such pictures, have
copies of them made. posted on cards and
hung about the public places. He will
place them in some of the larger BUSH
ness houses, he says, and in all places
where they will attract attention, and he
thinks much good will be accomplished.
Chiefs of police Of most OF the larger
cities already have been asked to assist
i'm the work, and many pictures already
have been received. AS soon the copies
are made and the cards arranged, Ma j.
Sylvester says, they will be placed in
public places.
