world. This general opinion was not
handed out as matter of courtesy to
the city simply because Washington gave
the visitors such fine time while here,
but from veteran police chiefs who are
ever ready to profit by the splendid
success of another department
The local Police Department is divided
into thirteen stations, eleven going by
numbers from / to IL, one as Sub T"
and another as ''Harbor." Each of
these is commanded by a captain or lieu
tenant
Maj. Richard Sylvester is superinten-
dent, and under his charge comes the
entire department Inspector Robert H.
Boardman comes next in rank.
Perhaps the most interesting work of
the department is done by the Central
detective bureau, in charge of Inspector
Boardman and Lieut.. James Hartley.
There are at present twenty detectives
assigned to duty at the Central Office.
Their hours are long and hard and their
pay small in comparison to the service
they render the people of Washington.
Work Is Heavier.
Since Congress passed the loan shark
law last February, and a great number
of pawn shops moved over into Virginia,
the work of the detectives has grown
heavier.
While the law unQuestionably has done
a great service so far in protecting poor
people and others who have had occa-
sion to borrow money from loan agents,
yet since the pawnbrokers have moved
into Virginia the detectives find. it twice
as hard as before to recover stolen prop

John E. WiIkie Had Been Long

Department Resigna-
ton Grieves Old Messenger.

When the Hon. John E. Wilkie resigned
from the service of the government three
weeks ago. the Secretary Of the Treasury
expressed his regret in the usual letter
of acceptance, and with a personal sin
cerity which made it more than an official
formality. But Nathan, the big colored
messenger who seems as much a part OF
the Treasury Department as the Ionic
columns themselves-Nathan wept openly,

was, but not IS big as me, and he wore
eye glasses, and i knew L could find
him. And 1 did. l was the first man
in the city of Washington to see the
