Detectives from Other Cities to Be
Here During the Prepared
ness Parade.

Maj. Pullman. police superintendent,
yesterday sent out TO the public order
parade committee, Of which he is chair
man, notification Of a meeting to be
held in the red room of the New Will
lard Hotel tonight. The meeting will be
called at 80 o'clock, and will be not
only for the purpose OF devising means
OF patrolling the city adequately during
the parade. but also TO warn citizens 70
leave their homes we'll guarded and tC
take care OF their personal property
during the parade period
The number OF thieves that will visit
the city, it is said. will depend on what
precautionary measures are taken ahead
of time. Nearly a dozen detectives from
New York. Baltimore and Philadelphia
will be sent here TO assist in watching
pickpockets. Detectives McKenna and
Cassassa. Of the New York City de-
partment. who probably know more
crooks by sight than any two other
men in the country, have been detailed
to Washington for the parade
A number OF plain clothes men will
patrol the city in automobiles on wednes-
day, but the police fear that If tele-
phone operators. jsnitors and other en-
ployes all view the parade at the same
time there may be considerable difficulty
in arording adequate protection.

Probably the most unhappy six politi-
Washington last night. following many
strenuous days and nights in Chicago
where they sought in vain for seats on
the floor of the Republican National con-

Aaron Bradshaw and Charles Marshall
and Frank J. Hogan and z. J. WilIiston.

was the way Robert I. Miller expressed
himself, when asked about the charges
and counter-charges which resulted In the
District falling to get any representa-

see another ballot box"
Frank J. Hogan, whose ticket received
5000 votes in the primary, was frankly

and voted against US when they thought
they were giving Us a seat. Why, they

contestants had all departed-to seal

up. One Of the committeeman told me
this Immediately after It hsppended. But
