BEING POLICE CHIEF
NOT EASY POSITION
Toughest Police Job Any Chief
Ever Had' Is Said About
Maj. Pu|Iman's Task.
WORK GIVES HIM PLEASURE

THE toughest police job any chief
ever had"
All over Washington you hear that
phrase, or something like it. whenever
men get together to discuss the activi-
ties of Maj. Raymond w. Pullman.
superintendent of the capitals police.
Not only is he holding down the hard
est job any police chief of this city
ever had, but he is also doing work
that is harder than anything the big
sest cities of the nation must combat.
Washington. as the nations capital.
contains the secrets which are of vital
interest to Germany. That nations
cleverest and most subtle secret agents
make their way here armed with
plausible credentials and bound on all
sorts of dangerous missions. wash
ington, Furthermore. is the headquar-
ters of four great Intelligence bureaus
with which the police must cooperate
the War Department.. Navy Depart
ment. Department. of Justice, and the
secret service bureau of the Treasury.
The Washington police have been
called in from time to time to help
every one of these bureaus. as we'll
as numerous less important ones in
other government departments.
Strike to Contend With.
Then there is the Washington rail-
way strike. Time was, and not SO long
ago, when a police chief in this city
who had strike on his hands, assumed
a serious expression as he hummed to
himself the Gilbertian pronouncement
that a "policeman's life is not happy
one"
That the strike is still an active fac
tor in this city is witnessed by recent
unusual events. 1t wasn't so long ago
that street car, with the power turned
on full, was sent hurtling through a
residential section, threatening death
with every revolution of its wheels un-
til it finally jumped the tracks and
landed in a vacant lot.
Such things. as this would have had
police chiefs of other times circling
around in the air like trick aeroplanes.
Such things are now incidents in the
life of Maj. Pullman.
