To Determine Adviisability Of Marine Police

At the request of the Board of Po- lice Commissioners, the Police De- partment has made an exhaustive tn- qufry into the activities of harbor pirates and thievery along Bridge ports extended waterfront and will present the information, gathered un- der the greatest handicaps, at the next meeting of the commissioners who will determine whether or not a marine police force will be establish ed.
 If they decide upon a harbor police they will forward their decision to the ordinance committee of the Board of Aldermen.
 The hanbor pirates working under cover of darkness of night are a serj- private boats, loot lumber and coal boats and steal coal from barges in the outside harbor The police in- teryiewed people who have suffered losses within the past two years and the figures will be rather startling when made public <a High fences on most docks prevent the police from entering Ind watching the places and many times a1d the thieves in escaping and robbing un- der their protection. Locked gates on the docks also prevent the poHce from giving proper police protection to the piers
 Some waterfront raen venture to say that the greatest trouble is with ccaI barge captains who leave their barges unprotected and who are in league with coal barge robbers. For certain sums of money coal barge calptains will agree to leave their ships unprotected and allow the thieves 70 ply their nefarious trade, it i declared.

SAYS SALOAIE WAS AN ACROBATTC DANGER

London, March s-Salome was an acrobattc ltumb1er-not a dancer of the modern ballet type, according to evidence laid before the Royal Archaeological Insti- tute by George c. Druce of OK ford. If the earliest legends which MT. Druce claims are authenti- cated are proved to be true, theologians, historians and others have long Iabored aRnder a misap- pref1ension as to Salome'S first claim to fame.
