local theatrical armament at the Be

here, however, was accomplished
when he and Smith transferred their
field of activities to the President
Theater, which was opening its doors
as a legitimate house on a site that
had been known for generations as
a burlesque center.
Although theatrical experts were
doubtful as to the successful outcome
of the venture at the President-in

theater from a burlesque type to a
legitimate one-Duffy and Smith
brought record-breaking mum bers of
Washingtonians through the doors
with "Abie's Irish Rose" as an at
traction. This play, by the way, had
been written by Ann Nichols, wife of
Duffy.
From the time that "Abie's Irish
Rose" started until it had taken a
number of strides toward success at

comedy part in it. His personality

ably. and news of the attempted sui

PARK POLICE SEEK
RETIREMENT LAW
Same Privilege as D. c. and
White House Forces Is
Plea to Congress.

Congress during it's next session will
be asked to enact a law extending to
the members of the United States park
joyed by the members Of the metropoli-
tan police and the White House police.
This recommendation was made by Capt
w. l.. McMorris, U. S. A, in command
of the park police, in his annual report
submitted yesterday to Col. c. o. Sher-
riIl, officer in charge Of public buildings
and grounds.
In asking for the retirement privi-
leges for his men Capt. McMorris prais-
ed them highly for their efficiency, 10y
atty and high morale.
Duties Arc Increased.
Capt. McMorris called attention to
the increase in the responsibilities of
the park police during the past decade,
due principally to the great growth in
the number of motor vehicles. He point
ed out that the daily duties OF these
policemen are many and varied They
must protect government property: give
supervision to the many parks and res
ervations throughout the city. including
trees, foliage, flowers and park build
ings, and in the handling Of traffic and
the protection of the public making use
of the parks.
and officers in the park police force,
but during the past year they made
2,447 arrests, resulting in $31,487
being paid in fines. While this force
has been increased only 80 per cent
over 1917. 1t is pointed out that four
times as many cases were made dur
ing the past year-also that the
amount of fines and collaterals was
six times greater than the sum in
1917. The ratio of cases dismissed
was reduced from four in every 100
to two in every 100.
Other Cchanges Asked.
other recommendations made by
Capt. McMorris were that the winter
uniforms be changed so as to have
the standard military collar, that
only the letters 'U. s." appear on the
collar. that new badges be provided
and that a comprehensive system of
white line traffic markers be in
stalled throughout the parks.
Col. Sheriff. in making Capt. Nc
Morris report public said his office is
especially proud Of the record made
by the park police and of the gen.
eral efficiency of the organization.
and that too much credit cannot be
given the commanding officer for this
condition.
