Police Chiefs
Confer Oh ehhtsrnational
Pretsctive Measure,

New York, Sept, 1l.---Police chiefs
from all over the United States, most
of the great csnters or Europe, and
from many countries in South Amer
lea meet here today with the hope Of
forming some sort of union lookine,
toward an international police sys-
tenn.
The idea came from Police Commits
sion Enright, Of New York, and ,is
deputy, DR.. John A. Harriss. 1n:s
spring they traveled through Europe,
met. the police leaders there, discuss
ed conditions, studied universal prob
lens and came to the conclusion that
conference. on a large scale, would
go far toward solving the difficulties
which have leaped into police work
Since the war.
Commissioner Enright brought
back promises that heads of depart.
ments in London, Liverpool, Paris,
Brussels, Vienna, Rome and perhaps
Berlin would attend.
1t is the belief Of New York's de-
partment, according to Deputy Com
missioner Mckay in charge of ar
1angements, that a criminal class.
owing directly from the war has
Confronted the police in every coun-
try. Mr.. Mckay said it was sort of
Overlapping class" in that the Grim
inals, most Of whom begin on q petty
scale, travel great deal and so are
beginning to leave their trails all over
the world. %
An important feature of the con-
vention will be discussion of this
class, and it is hoped that the chiefs
will be able to evolve some method
which will permit of a universal
check, in all countries, OF the activi
ties of the class.
Automobile stealing, problem
which is particularly bothersome TO
Canadian and American officials, also
will be discussed. American chiefs
make no secret of, their desire, as far
ss possible, to copy the Europeon idea
Of national registration for automo
hi,cs.
IL has been suggested, according to
Commissioner Enright, that it might
he poss ble for the chiefs, working TO-
Eether in the larger cities to produce
an International rogue's gallery
which will be Invaluable. Finger
prints would be taken and classified
and copies would be exchanged by the
heads of departments under the pro
POSED system.
Because Of enabling legislation tina
would be reqdired by different gov.
cmments, it was pointed out that i!
would be practically impossible t.
evolve an official International police
out of the conference. But the plan
is to talk over an the situations in.
volved, and then to cooperate in per
fectins any plan which is accepted by
the men in session.
The conference held in the Wal
dorf-Astoria, will continue for a week
Mayor .Hylan callea the convention To
