At Police Headquarters it was an
nounced yesterday that sixteen officers
besides Chief Inspector Schmittberger
had received permission to attend camp
from Commissioner Woods. They are
Inspector Cornelius Cahalane, Acting
D,cborI Epr;.kt I =.
John J. Hughes, Walter Rouse, Maui
rice Hannon, John A. Parke, James j.
Skehan, Sergeants George II. Griffin
John J. Hymes, jeremiah A. Crowley,
James J. Lynch, James A. Murray, Pat
lam F. Rotterdam and William J
Flynn. Acting Inspector Richard O'Con
nor later had his application granted
and will also make the trip.
Almost every officer and at least six
hundred patrolmen, the Commissioner
said, had asked for leave to attend the
camp. The men will leave Wednesday,
arriving in camp September 8, except
for Chief Inspector Schmittberger, who
cannot get away until the 18th. He will
be in camp ten days.
Since the sinking of the Lusitania
Commissioner Woods has been working
on plans to use the police for protec-
tion in case of war. Obsolete rapid
firing guns on the patrol boats have
been replaced by eight machine guns
of modern pattern, lent by the United
States Navy. The police have been
taught how to wig-wag in approved
army and navy fashion by two officers
representing both branches of the SER
vice, and are taking lessons in night
signalling by the Ardois system. When
the police now at Plattsburg return the
heliograph will also be used
