Prior to that time l had edited an
amateur weekly paper, and was the
entire staff of The Anvil" publnshed
once a week by the late Silas Boyce,
also a product of New England. AT
that period the police force of the
District was made up of former sol
diers and sailors of the civil war, then
young men, and Washington has never
had better police department since.
The appointment of the former fight
ing men was made obligatory by act
of Congress which was repealed only
when he veterans went over the legal
age limit and it became necessary to
appoint civilians to keep the force up
to the standard strength. The soldier
sailor policemen were Coura geous, dis
ciplined and well seasoned by their
arduOus campaigning. A few of the
old vets are stirl members of the
force, 1 am informed
In an address before the President s
Own Garrison, Army and Navy Union,
about one year ago, Mai. Raymond
w. Pullman, who is a member of the
association, paid high tribute to the
former soldiers, sailors and marines
now on the force and under his COM
mand. He said they made good up
to 95 per cent and expressed the wish
to have maRy more trained fighting
men in the police organization.
Returning to the police court slum-
mers, recall old Man" Barton. as
he was familiarly termed. who was
bailif Of the court and greeted the

He said begging was the greatest Of

dollars, dollars and dimes, povertp is

suit Of old clothes from a second
hand shop, but was captured by the
police and charged with petty larceny.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to serve fifteen days in jail, without
hard labor and also without wearing
the humiliating zebra striped uniform
of the penitentiary. The first pal
whistled in astonishment.

honest and begging when a fellow was

When the matter was brought to
the attention of Judge Miller he
promptly reduced the sentence of the
honest fellow to fften- days so he
could rejoin his pal when he was re-
leased from jail.
