Day of iicrantun, Pa, Newark, X. J., was selected as the place of meeting for 1316. IMward Foster, lni-pector of Ottawa, Ont., read an interesting paper, showing the advantages of a bureau of identification. and the good it did in the dominion." lie said this bureau was entirely supported by the Canadian government. Detective XV. A. Pinkortun'H paper on linger prints proed interesting. lc

said that all travelers should have prints of their lingers made and he gave- a short hitory of the method of identification. He also stated that when he was in China and Japan, he noticed that families when they were about to separate, exchanged finger prints. Ilou.xs Coiitrucile Work. Chief Peterson read a paper on onstructhe police, in which he de-clared the capturing of crooks was not the only duty of an officer. He referred to the British prison ship success now on the western coast, showing tho old tunc mode of punishing criminals. He declared officers of the law in those days were brutes and he pointed out the improvement since that time. Chief Nichols of Oklahoma City was heartily applauded when he said, "Yes, we should address the boys, and we should address the mothers who dress the girls, so that God's sun undresses them every time it shines on them." He explained how crime can be traced to the lust of man, and :,fter referring to the fact that mothers' clubs were usually .made up of women that had no children, he strongly urged the chiefs to gt after the mothers and see if they cannot make their daughters dress more modestly. At the conclusion of this talk of Chief Nichols, it impressed his audience to such an extent that a unanimous vote was taken to have his talk printed in pamphlet form, and mailed to all the chiefs of police and mayors of the cities throughout the country. Charles C. Mealey, superintendent of the Chica' oolicc department, explained the pocui'ar features of tho traffic sltua'ion in Chicago. Chief Lor g of the Newark, N J.,

! police department read a paper on the

drujr habit, its effects and cure. Police Chief Daniel Wolff of Yonkcrs, N. Y.. read the report of the committee appointed at the last meeting of the organization to draw up a set of uniform traffic regulations that might bo used in all cities of tho Fnited States and Canada. One of the strong points brought t was the necessity of the drivers of vehicles being instantly obedient to any direction by voice, hand, whistle or other signal of the traffic policeman. Chief Wolff took up all possible points r-garding the movements of vehicles. The report advises pedestrians to cross the street at regular crossings and at right

angles and opposing the "dutch cut" ami "cat-a-corner" crossings, lie also advised a more rigid examination of chauffeurs and the raising of tho age limit to 21 years, tho carrying of rec ord cards and photos, the changing of the existing laws relative to the punishment of certain offenders, the fixingof the punishment .by statute, and taking from the courts the discretionary powers they now posses, and the reverting to all municipalities of all fines collected for violations of traffic laws and regulations Kxplains Car Service. Police Chief H. W. Hammil of Kan

sas City explained the advantages of

motor car service and a card index system as adopted by his department. He told of the older methods and coming down to the present time,

said we have not half enough men to cover the Veats of our city, but since

we have begun using motor cars in

our police work, more criminals have been arrested than when the city had

a larger police force and a smaller

population. He referred to the sev

oral penitentiaries in the neighborhood of Kansas City, from which

hordes of criminals are released annually, many of them residing at least temporarily in that city. He explainer! how the motor cars carrying two

or more policemen have many advantages over that of a motorcycle, these cars patrol the residential sections and outskirts of the city continuously, making 50 or more miles each night. Police Chief XV. J. Peterson of Oakland, Calif., said that the motor cars in his city did the work of 10 men. Former Chief Knapp of Toledo, O., did not mince words w hen he referred to the cabaret exhibition, the members of the association witnessed the night before. "Would any of you men," he said, "enjoy seeing your daughters dressed the way those cabaret singers were dressed: not one of you would have applauded, if it had been ono of your own daughters," and he also stated that a little girl about nine years old sat opposite him, and the look of disgust on her face told me that she knew the actions of the cabaret singers wero not proper. We accept entertainment from other men's daughters that we would not accept from our own. Think it over, men, when you go home." Policewoman Talks. Chief Janssen of Milwaukee suggested that this paper and discussions be printed In pamphlet form for distribution to all police chiefs and mayors. Mrs. Alice tobblns of Txs Angeles, Calif., addressed the police chiefs, explaining the work that is being done by the policewomen's organization, of which she Is president, and asked cooperation of the a-sociaton. She showed the good done by polcewomen and believed one or more policewomen should ho connected with every department to look after delinquent wtmen and children. As soon as I receive the annual report of the convention, ordered printed, I -will then be able to give your honorable body a more detailed and complete report of the doings of this convention. Yours repectfullv, mi Li, Ann f. Ki;nn. Chief of Police. TKACK MAX TEJj. CRT? ANA, 111., Juno 4.
