Detectiue Sergeant Walsh Has !.
Had Exciting Career On Force
Desperate Encounters With
Dangerous Criminals All In
Days Work for Ex-captain Of
M. P.'s In France-Has Made
Many Noted Arrests.

Life of policeman has always held
an irresistible attraction for Detective
Sergeant Thomas d. Walsh, OF the
Central Office. During his long po-
lice career he has been In many close
corners and has had many narrow
escapes from death in arresting des-
perate criminals. His father, Thomas
L. Walsh. was q prominent business
man of Washington, and was greatly
opposed to the son taking up police
career. But young Walsh could not
be persuaded against accepting an APP
pointment TO the police force.
One Of the most desperate en-:
counters Walsh had with a criminal
was that with George White, O noto-
rious burglar, OF St. Louis, Mo. For
the capture of White, who had preyi-
ously held at bay a score Of citizens,
Walsh was highly commended by
Major and Superintendent Of Police
Richard Sylvester.
Walsh fought the burglar in a room
cornered him following a thrilling
pistol battle. After graphing with the
robber, Walsh disarmed him and led
him a captive to the Third precinct
police station, where he had been de.
tailed as a bicycle policeman.
White had broke into the home OF
Mrs. Mary Heitzelman, 1717 N street
northwest, and the New York Cloth
ing Shop, later gaining entrance into
another house on Fifteenth street
Discovered in the act of robbing the
latter house. the burglar leaped from
q window and was chased by several
persons, at whom the robber fired sew
eral shots in an effort to stop them
from giving chase.
Reaching the house at 1915 Fifteenth
street, the burglar forced the door and
ran to a berdoom to seek cover,
Walsh was on his trial and followed
him into the house while the occu
pants were shouting for help. Goins
to q bedroom on the third floor, Walsh
discovered the burglar under bed
With his revolver drawn Walsh de
manded that the robber submit to ar
rest. A shot was the answer.
Regardless Of the shots fired at him
Walsh crawled under the bed and
grappled with the burglar. Wher
Walsh finally subdued the robber, the
room was wrecked with broker
furniture. -
Walsh was appointed to the police
force In 1900. assigned to the Fourth
precinct He has workedtin practical
ly every precinct in the city. He wal
promoted for meritorious work to the
detective bureau in 1919.

SAYS LOTS OF FOOD
PREVENTS DIVORCES
Pastor Advises Men Not to Tell
Wives What They
Must Wear.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-If either party
violates the marriage contract there
should be some means by which the
marital relations can be severed. But
the way to the divorce court Is too
easy now. There should be a Federal
divorce law making a decree more diff
ficuIt to obtain.
This was the statement Of the Rev
Charles d. Stevens, d. D., pastor OF
the Third Presbyterian Church.
Two specific Instructions were given
to men. One was a caution against
telling a woman what she should
wear. ... '...E
mo husband and no preacher has
any right to tell any woman what she
should wear. Leave that to her con
science" he advised. ALSO, would
caution husbands to remember their
wedding anniversaries and their wives
birthdays"
After quoting the Scriptural text
LET a man love his wife and woman
reverence her husband" DIR. Stevens
gave the following suggestions for
both husbands and wives:
BE honest with each other"
BE considerable"
Keep up your personal appear
ance."
BE thrifty and save money: don't
be afraid to live on an economical
basis"
Keep your temper"
make concessions to each other"
Have God in your homes and
lives"
Live a normal life"
the home drives many a man to the
divorce court, and added that many
wives who continually nibble at food
should serve themselves with large
Juicy T.bone steaks instead Of consult
ing their physicians over the con
dition Of their nerves.
