PATKOLMEN GET LITTLE REST
Many Are Required to Spend in

The members OF the Police Depart-

And it comes about as the result
OF the rejuvcnation of that time old
subject. the long hours spent by po-
nee oticcrs In the court am, tho re-

yesterday the differences were given

attention TO the fact that many Po-
nee Court rules" were necessary to
bring officers into court to testify. and
notifying them that Major Werner
does not wish to find it necessary to
call attention of the force to the mat
ter again.
The matter was given further OIL
cial recognition when Major Werner.
Justice Crutchncld and Building In
sncctor Butler held Il conference re-
sarding the crowded condition Of the
courtroom during each of tho morning
sessions. or as members of the police
force have come to term them. each of
the "all-day sessions"
cRrTCIFIEI.D COMPLAINS
OF CROWDED COURTROOM
Justice Crutchneld claims that the
oVcrcrowdinr OF the courtroom makes
II Impossible to expedite the handling
lengthy. He therefore called Il con
ference between Major Werner and
Building Inspector Butler. and with
their assistance, hopes to devise Il set
of rules that will reduce tho conges-
ton which has existed in the court
room FOR years
Members OF the police force com
plain OF the many hours they lose
from sleep while waiting In court to
testify. several sessions of the present
week lasting until late in the after
noon. y number Of the men who have
20 go TO court come off duty at Z
o'clock in the morning. and il f.c-
qucntly happens that they have to re-
turn to their beats that afternoon.
When they spend the greater part o.
the day in court. they go back TO their
work having had absolutely no rest
They also complain OF the Ovcrcrowd-
ing Of the COURTROOM AS we'll as OF
tho time los; in needless discussion OF
subjects foreign TO the cases being
heard.
One of tho suggestions offered to pre-
vent the daily congestion OF witnesses
and sichtsccrs in the courtroom is 10
have the minor cases heard by magis-
trates at the various precinct station
houses. This would allow policemen
who have TO appear in such cases 10
reach their homes in a comparatively
short time after they had come of
duty. would prevent the presence OF
number of persons in the Police
Court. and would expedite the clear
ing OF the docket there.
The conference yesterday did not re-
suit in any definite plans. but il Is
said that tho matter Will be discussed
further and efforts made to decide
upon some definite action TO relieve
tho situation in the Police Court and
TO benefit policemen.

Sea Rover Damages.

The German cruiser Karlsruhe, re-

he DESTROYER OF more than S7,000.000
worth of ships and merchandise within
. few months after the beginning OF
the great war. Her log book tells a
etory that dims those of the famous
Alabama, the Bonhomme Richard and
he Emden all rolled into one.
When Germany went to war the
cruiser was at San Juan, Porto Rico.
She left Immediately and began the
existence of a rover. Ship after shin
the Allies she captured or sent to
the bottom. Latest reports gave 27
vessels as her victims. Her com
mander was Captain Fritz Kohlcr.
When war came the Karlsruhe
should have been in drydock. Cap
tain Kohler took her to Bocos reef

dock. Then he began raiding, max
ing headquarters at Bocos reef. He
placed dynamite throughout the ship
and fixed wires so that the vessel
could be sunk by simply pressing q
button on the bridge. The men vol
unteered to stay with him under
such conditions, knowing he would
blow up his ship rather than surren-
der. For his work Captain Kohler,
his crew and the ship itself We're
awarded the iron cross.
A gigantic iron cross was to have
been placed at the base Of the cruis-
er's bowsprit if she lived through the
war. A similar honor was intended
for the ill-fated Emden.
The Karlsruhe was constructed at
kiel in 1913 at cost e S2,250,000.
Her main battery was of II 4.1-inch
guns. She has two submerged tor
