POLICE WILL BE READY
FOR UNEMPLOYED ARMY
Maj. Sylvester to Ask for Ad-
ditional Force Should Invading
Host Be Large.

Maj. Sylvester. chief of police, is in
terested in the movements of Gen. Jacob
S. Coxey and his army of the unemploy-
ed and the several other bands Of IN
employed men that are scheduled to
reach this city next month. When
Coxey's army of the commonweal came
here in 1894. the police department had
the services of 200 special policemen, and
Maj. Sylvester may ask for additional
help next month if the 1914 crowd shows
equal volume.
1t is probable that the chief of police
will discuss the problem with the Com
missioners, and should it be deemed nee
essary to get additional help Congress
will be asked for an appropriation.
Army Dwindles En- Route.
When Coxey organized his army in
1893 it is stated, it was expected that
several thousand persons would be in
line when the party reached the District,
but the report of Maj. Moore. who was
then chief of police. states that it was
composed Of exactly $3.50 weary and foot
sore persons.
During the period of two months that
the soldiers" remained in and about
this city, police reports state. no acts
of violence or thefts were committed
by them. Numerous arrests on charges
of vagrancy were made. but the charges
were dismissed.
Leaders Charged With Trespass.
The arrest Of Coxey and two Of his
lieutenants. Carl Browne and Christopher
C. Jones. for trespass and carrying ban
ners on the government reservation
about the Capitol came as climax to
the march to the Capitol. A number of
Coxey's followers later were arrested in
Maryland and sent to the house Of cor
