IHESSE ASKS INCREASE TN

VAGRAN CY.
SCORED

More judges, more police,
and more common sense laws
are needed here to curb crime,
Major Edwin B. Hesse, super
intendent of police, told the
Washington Board of Trade at
the Willard Hotel last night.
Slow Courts Scored
The slowness of the courts is
the greatest obstacle to Washing
tons being a perfectly policed
city, Major Hesse told the men,
bers of the trade board. Next to
that, he said, is the size Of the
police force, which is under
manned.
Three Laws Urged
Three laws needed here. the Pc.

and law making releases on bonds

Major Hesse inferred that he IL
in favor of Baumes law for the
District. Speaking just after Chair.
man Odell s. Smith, of the public
order committee, had recommended
a modified Baumes law here Major
Hesse declared:
II am absolutely in favor OF any
law for the District of Columbia
that will put the fear Of God into
the hearts of criminals that come
here"
Big Force Asked
Other recommendation of the
public order committee were: A de.
tective force of 100 men, including
a cruising force Of 10 men con,
stantly on the job; 10 fast auto
mobiles to carry police quickly ia
the scene OF crime, and a police

announced that it will he necessary

General Barnett communicated
this fact to the Commissioners to.
