victims of housebreakings by say
ing there are fingerprints and the
criminal will be quickly appre-
hended Capt. Fowler wants
every member of the force to
know the difference between
fingerprints and glove smudges.
Fingerprinting is another study
in The academy curriculum.
Difference i'm Ring Mountings.
Do you know the type Of
mounting in which your diamond
is set? Graduates of the acad-
emy will be able to tell from de-
scriptions of stolen rings. Charts
showing the many types of
mountingS and special designs
will hang on the classroom wall.
The square mounting. one of the
most popular currently, has vari-
Gus types. One has split prongs,
while others have special beading
or unusual carvings. The gypsy
mounting has the diamond set
in and has fewer prongs than the
Tiffany mounting, which is a
high mounting with thinner
prongs.
In giving description of silver
ware. police and victims often are
lax in giving a detailed report
on the silver. Charts and photo
graphs of every known pattern
and design are being made for
the police school Besides cut
lery. photographs will be made
of the various silver dishes and
platters. Also, the students will
be told by experts how to dis
tinguish silverplate from sterling.
Laws of arrests, constitutional
rights of the citizens and what
constitutes legal arrest will be
explained to the students by lead
ing legal authorities who have
offered to donate their services
to better the local Police Depart
ment. The use of search war
rants and their value for gaining
entrance will be explained.
Along the legal lines criminal
procedure will be taught with eyi-
dence gathering. This will be
broken down in knowing what to
look for; knowing evidence when
found; the proper thing to do
with it after it is found, and how
to preserve and handle evidence
for expert examination.
Typewriter Marks Studied.
With the legal procedure
course. handwriting and type
writing identification will be
taught. The student will be re-
minded that he can always secure
handwriting samples if a particu-
lar person has secured driving
permit or taken civil service
examination. He will be remind
ed that each typewriter has its
own tell-tale marks, and no two
are aIike.

they work, Capt. Fowler disclosed.
When certain gangs work. most
of them have a particular tech
nique in gaining entrance to
strong boxes. Illustrations will
be shown the class so they can
distinguish between rip"
blow" punch" spindle" or
cutting" job.
Just to make sure that the men
will have ample work. an advance
course in first aid will be given
under direction of the Red Cross.
The classroom for the advance
academy will be on the fifth floor
of police headquarters in an Of
flee vacated by Acting Capt. Earle
Hartman's squad, a short distance
from the Office of Acting Maj.
Kelly and Inspector Callahan.
Capt. Fowler said so far there
has been no cost in setting up the
advance police academy. as the
tailors, jewelers., tire companies
and toolnakers have donated TO

on the charts. Most of the ex-
pert instructors have offered to
donate their services to aid in in
creasing the efficienc". of the Po-
lie Department.
Capt. Fowler has made avail

tains nearly 100 books on criminal
procedure and criminology.
Postal inspectors. Depart
ment of Justice agents and the
Secret Service also will aid in the
inStructing. In the first class, to
start in about a month. there will
be 40 policemen. including some
captains, heutenants and SER
geants.
Although the exact number Of
hours the men will spend in the
classroom is expected to be not
less than so hours over a period
of two weeks, classroom work will
probably be amplified by assign
ing students to various squads at
headquarters until their workday
is dntshed.

Representative Bates. Democrat,
of Kentucky, complained last night
that Washington police had been
downright rude" to his son. who
several days ago sought permission
to buy a couple of gallons of gaso-
line after the 7 pm. curfew in or
der to get his own car back to the
George Washington Inn where he
lives.
Mr.. Bates. former member OF the
House District Committee who two
years ago directed the explosive
milk investigation, said his car in
which his son had been using to
conduct a couple of his Kentucky
constituents on sightseeing tour
ran out of gas near Ninth and F
streets NV. Thursday shortly after
Z pm.
my son went to a gasoline sta
ton in the neighborhood," said Mr..
Bates "and was told that before he
could buy any gas he would have
to get permission of the Police De-
partment. He then went to pre-
cinct station, I don't know which
one. and was old he had been in
Washington long enough to know
that gasoline was not sold after 7
pm.
"As a result my son was forced
to take a taxicab to the hotel, siphon
enough gasoline out of friends car
to bring my car back to the hotel.
He went back to Ninth and F streets
in the friends car.

and Thompson sub-machine guns.
Capt. Fowler recalled that when
he was climbing the police lad
der there was no course to help
him learn the technicalities of
police work, although he gives
the late Inspector Clifford L.
Grant credit for helping a rookie
detective to obtain a background.
When Capt. Fowler was trans
ferred to headquarters, he spent
the first six months serving on
one squad after another until he
had had nearly every veteran de-
tective as a partner. From this
he learned much. He also gained
knowledge from his work with
the Remington Arms Co. before
he enlisted into the Army at the
beginning Of the World War. He

June Is. 1919. During his first
two years as policeman Capt.
. Fowler spent his own funds to
better himself. He went to night
school one and one-half years.
and then six months to Columbia
Tech. He later took two-year
course in Columbus University in
criminal procedure. evidence and
criminology He spent six weeks
studying at Northwestern Uni
versity and took a correspondence
course in photography. Under
the late Lit. Fred Sandberg. one
of the first recognized authorl-
ties on fingerprinting, he received
valuable instruction.
Question of Description.
In describing one phase Of police
Academy instruction Capt. Fowler
pointed out that sometimes police
are lax in getting good descrlp-
ton. They may ask questions
L. iaI,
may even put words in the mouth
of an excited victim. Not after
the new instruction. Methodical
procedure will be emphasized
and police will be told to ask the
victims to compare the culprlt
carefully with the policeman as
to such things as weight and
height. In one recent wave OF
holdups by the same bandit the
victims described his height as
being from 5 feet 8 inches to
6 feet inches and his weight
from $50 to 2l0 pounds. In the
future. if victim says the
criminal weighed $50 pounds and
says he was about the same size
as a 200-pound policeman, the
investigator will know how much
credence to put in the victims
description.
Toxicology is something very
few policemen know much about.
Unwittingly they may destroy
important evidence. Capt Fowler
doesn't expect his men to be-
come m. DIS" but he does want
them to know the reaction of GER
tain poisons and to save any
evidence that might be important
to a pathologist.

are jimmie bars, pinch bars,
screw drivers and tire irons. Spe-
cial instructions will be given for
a policeman to look for such
marks and to recognize them.
Pathologists will teach the po-
licemen the value of guarding
specimens of blood whenever they
investigate violent deaths. When
suspects are arrested with blood
stains on their clothing it is pos
sible to classify the blood to COM
pare it with that of the victim.
If the victim is syphilitic, dia-
bette or tubercular, and match
ing sample of blood can be recov-
cred from the clothing of the sus-
pect, it often clinches a case.
What action to take against
paroled convicts and criminals
on probation will be another one
of the many subjects to be dis
cussed. The parole board has
supervision over one of these and
the probation oficer supervises
the othsr.
