END IS DEMANDED
Hesse Speaks at First Roll
Call of Precinct De-
tectives Today.

There will be no more stealing of
credit for cases." Maj. Edwin Hesse
superintendent of police, said en-
phatically at the first meeting of
precinct detectives at the District
Building this afternoon, which was
also attended by many of the precinct
captains and other police officials.
We have decided upon this roll call
of precinct detectives in order to end
the lack of cooperation between
elements of the Police Department, 4"

there must be no more jealousy shown
between precinct men and headquar-
ters men Our prime duty is service
to the public and hereafter there must
be the greatest cooperation between
all elements of the Police Depart
ment."

Maj Hesse said that within the
past two weeks he heard an order
given at detective headquarters to one
of the detectives, Hurry out and beat
the precinct men to this case"
Maj. Hesse also declared that the
Washington police force was the
cleanest force in the whole country.
Inspector Henry G.. Pratt, chief of
detectives, outlined to the precinct
detectives the purpose OF the daily
roll call and told them that they were
to have equal privileges with head
quarters men in having access to all
records at detective headquarters.
Assist. Supt. of Police Charles
Evans, in emphasizing the need for
this cooperative scheme, said that
there were hundreds of thousands of
cases on police records OF which no
known disposition had been made, this
being caused through lack of plac.
ing responsibility. 1t will be the duty
of the precinct detectives, he said, to
handle all of the small losses reported

The man who reports q small loss
or damage is entitled to just the same
consideration as the man who suffers
great robbery" Inspector Evans

MINERS LOSS HEAVY.


PHILADELPHIA, February l.
fhe hard coal strike entered its sixth
month today with the deadlock, ap.
parently as tight as when the sus
pension was ordered.
1t has already cost the 1580O0 mine
workers approximately $142, $50 900 In
wages and has caused a curtailment
in coal production Of 31,9S0,0 900 tons
The loss of the operators in profits
and the cost of maintenance and
other expenses in connection with the
upkeep of the mines has never been
made public. Loss to the hard coal
carrying railroads In gross revenues
Is estimated at S90000.000.
Except that operators and miners
have resumed their conferences there
is nothing to indicate that peace is
near. The negotiators, however, have
rejected plan after plan, and when
they adjourned Saturday to meet
again tomorrow they had thrown the
last definite peace proposal into the
discard
Saturday the question of arbitration
still was the chief stumbling block.

driven by modern mining methods
and from 80 to 125 tons of coal are
being brought to the surface daily

Four men were killed yesterday at

their families warm. Only one of
them was an experienced miner, the
others being carpenters. A huge
