BEWTTCHING BLOND
WAS CLEVER SLEUTH
Crowd Sees Crook Neatly Tripped
on Atlantic City Boardwalk.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Atlantic City, N. j., July 22.-"Silk
hat Johnnies" and fashionably gowned
women are marshaledt in the beach
front squad to safeguard the visiting
thousands here in the preservation or
order and protection against un-
desirables. The Beau Brummels" or
the police forces are patrolling the
famed pedestrian boulevard disguised
as Fifth avenue beaus, and several
prominent women, who are on the
payroll anonymously. are assigned
with them. The idea works splendidly,
too. Last night a piekpocket jostled a
S1Oo-a-month patrolman in evening
dress in anticipation of q rich haul.
He was hauled TO jail.
During the day Palm Beach suits
are worn and the appointees have a
wardrobe to provide for each day in
the week.
A striking blond caused a sensa-
ton on the Boardwalk today. Visitors
in her vicinity were startled at seeing
a man neatly tripped, and a sub
sequent whistle bring a bluecoat to
the spot. She was dressed in the
latest fashion and wore a beautiful
summer white fox fur. The attrac-
tive woman, who would command at
tention anywhere, was one of the
cleverest sleuths in the East. She had
had arrested a man with a record in
New York.
Suspicious Sent from City.
Detectives from Philadelphia and
New York are brought here for this
work. inasmuch as they would be
more familiar with the caliber of men
who infest summer resorts during the
height of the season. The results
speak for themselves as to the sue
cess of the scheme. There was not a
complaint registered last week. The
police blotter shows more than a
dozen arrests of men held ION sus-
picion" and sent out of the city.
Today the Annette Kellermann suit
had its inning. A dozen or more ath-
letic girls from Chelsea gave the
beach this sensation. There were hur-
ried exits, too. The summer maid is
| now thoroughly aroused against the
city commission, and there are legal
battles imminent before the season is
over with the present opposition. She
declares that the commissioners are
acting beyond their authority In de-
creeing what they are TO wear. First
came the stockingless nymph, and she
was chased Next the fair bather took
more or less liberties with her suits.
Then, several shocks and sensations
and subsequent stringent ruling from
the front that the beach must be kept

very much embarrassed these sturdy
sons OF Father Neptune. and the
more they were ridiculed the harder
became the road for the beach siren.
Both are now at loggerheads.
