POLICE INAUGURAL
PLANS UNDER WAY
Maj. Pullman Mapping Out
Program to Keep Order and
Safeguard Public.
TO CALL NOTED sLEUTHs

Police arrangements for handling the
crowds expected inaugural week are
well under way. When President Wilson
signed the bill making an appropriation
of $4,000 to maintain order and safe
guard life and property he enabled
Maj. Raymond w. Pullman, superin-
tendent of police, to start the work OF
Carrying into effect his tentative plans.
1t is the intention of Maj. Pullman to
procure the services of the best detec-
tives of the country, and. it is stated.
he already has promises from many of
them to come here. Maj. Pullman says
the detectives are being selected be-
cause of merit only and he hopes to
have the largest number that ever has
been brought here for any occasion.
Men whose names already are on the
list, 1t is stated, were selected because
of their knowledge of crooks, and the
superintendent of police hopes they will
not let single known professional
burglar or pickpocket pass through the
picket lines.
Conducting campaign of education,
Mai. Pullman has had members of his
own force spend considerable time IN
the departments gallery studying me
faces of crooks. Precinct detectives also
are making a study of these faces with
a view to doing effective service during
the inaugural period
1t is expected that the city force viii
be augmented by at least 100 visiting
detectives.
To Put on 800 Specials"
1t Is estimated that about 500 special
policemen will be employed for the in
augural period. Only able-bodied men
are to be employed for this service,
police officials state, and it will be i'm
possible to uniform them. Applications
for such appointments will be receiv-
ed at the several police stations. and
those who make application will have
to undergo an examination as to ht-
ness.
Maj. Pullman hopes he will be able
to bring a large squad OF uniformed
policemen from nearby cities. Baltimore
probably will send the greatest num-
Der, as was the case four years ago, ana
members Of the force think such men
will be able to perform spiehdla
service. Uniformed men from the
Monumental city have been here on
two occasions, and on each of them, 1t
is stated, they made fine appearance
and acquitted themselves creditabiy;
Baltimore policemen probably Will pc
given details along the line OF march,
it being deemed advisable to put them
there to handle the crowds rather than
put them in outlying districts where
they would be strangers ana unaDie
IN give the department their best eff
forts. Then. too, it is stated. the uni
formed men from Baltimore probably
Will not receive remuneration from the
District. and 1t Is thought they should
be placed at points where tney Cali
view the parade.
The matter of pay for the visiting de-
tectives and special policemen is about
settled. 1t is probable that ooth
i'll SoA Yryf1 a..
ceive a compensation in advance OF
what was paid four years ago. when
detectives received So q day and ex-
penses and special policemen were paid
$3.50 a day. The advanced cost of liv-
ing probably will be assigned as the
reason for the increased pay.

Officers Do Not Believe Break
With Berlin Will Lengthen
Their Stay.
BAD WEATHER

DISTRICT NATIONAL GUARD CAMP,
CAMP WILSON. SAN ANTONIO, Tex.
February 6-That the crisis which exists
between the United States and Germany
will not serve to lengthen their stay
in the borderland to any great degree
seems to be the belief of the officers
and men of the Cd District Infantry.
They feel that before long they will
be back in Washington again.
When the District soldiers received
word that all state troops were to re-
main in the federal service until the
international tension was relieved they
did not appear to be greatly worried.
They believe that within the next few
weeks they will be ordered back home.
The District soldiers have experience
ed several spells of very disagreeable
weather during the past few weeks.
First came a cold snap accompanied
by high winds and following this came
a dismal, drizzling rain. The company
streets were transformed into seas of
mud and the interiors of the tents
were daubed up by the black "gumbo
mud which the men tracked in on
their shoes. On several occasions it
has been necessary to call off drills
because of the weather.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

A pleasant event was the celebra-
ton of Mr.. James P. Durham's birth
day, Sunday, Sept. End.
Mr.. Durham is one of Cobb Coun-
tvs pioneer citizens. He came here
from South Carolina in 1885 when he
was a little over 2 years old. His
father John Durham) had bought
the farm where James P. now lives.
He has lived here all his life, with the
exception of a few years when he
was first married, when he then lived
in the same settlement.
Sunday Sept. 2,was his saith births
day. For one of his age he is healthy
and active. He carries a wound that
was inflicted during the civil war,
which causes a stiff limb, but for all
that, he still gets out and hoes his
garden, watermelon and potato
patches, and keeps them in better
condition than many of " ye younger
men,"
Mr.. Durham was married to Mar
tina Brown in 1856 and they are now
nearing their 81 anniversary. The
children surprised him with spread
dinner" and many little gifts on his
birthday. Those present of the chill
dren were Mr.. and Mrs. J. C. Dur
ham, Mr., and Mrs. D. A. Durham,
Mr.. and Mrs. B. M. Westmoreland,
Mr.. and Mrs. R. ]. Presley, Mr. and
Mrs. A. H. McCleskey and Miss Kate
Durham. One son, w. L. Durham,
and family, were absent There are
20 grand children and great-grand
children, and eighteen of whom were
present.
The day was pleasantly spent and
the dinner was sumptuous and deli
cious, with not one suggestion of
"hard times" in it's makeup.
We hope Mr.. Durham lives to cele-
brate many more birthdays.
