JOSEPH P. THOMPSON,
Harrisburg's First Captain of Police,
Who Position Because of His
'inphrt'.y
By "Welly" .Tones
All well-regulated police depart
ments have a captain. That is one
reason why Harrlsburg boasts of some
thing real, all wool and a yard wide. In
a police captain. His name is Joseph
Porter Thompson, if popularity was
mentioned in connection with the
name it would be preceded by the
word "Prince."
The addition of "Joe" Thompson to
the lpcal force last year was a step
on the part of Council for higher po
lice efficiency. "Joe" had a job. and a
good one. There was need, however,
for an assistant to Colonel Joseph I!.
Hutchison. Tlio duties of the office of
chief of police were increasing rapidly.
A man with experience was necessary.
There was but one man to choose
when ability was considered. That is
why it is now Joseph P. Thompson,
Captain of Police.
Born in Norristown
Joseph P. Thompson Is a native ol'
Norrlstown, Montgomery county. When
eight weeks old his parents moved to
Hari
Capitol buildings that "Joe" Thompson
| urew up to boyhood. Then ho went to
school. He did not like long school
hours. When old enough he quit his
studies and learned the baking trade.
From that time until the present time
"dough" was the one thing Joseph
Thompson worked for, and there were
many times he worked hard, often all
day and far into, the night. He was
an Industrious lad.
Tired of baking, Joseph Thompson
took up boiler firing, and later ran a
stationary engine. After fourteen
years with the Harrisburg Foundry
and Machine Works Joseph Thompson
took up iron molding at Steelton. He
held that position until he was made
sergeant of police under the late
Mayor John D. Patterson. This was
in 1896. After three years he returned
to work at Steelton. Mayor Vance C.
McCormick made him a police ser
geant, and three years later he was
promoted to lieutenant of police by
Mayor E. Z. Gross.
Was Private Detective
"Joseph P. Thompson, Private De
tective," was the next card displayed
by this popular guardian of the law
and terror to fugitives. This business
brought out stronger Mr. Thompson's
ability, and when it was decided to
have a captain of police but one
opinion prevailed throughout the city
—that he was the one and only person
for the position.
• A cleaner cut or more whole-souled
fellow cannot be found. He is busi
ness in every sense the word Implies.
He has a record back of him for good
police work, and the long trips he has
taken to Oklahoma. St. Louis, Chicago
and other points is further evidence
that he knows his business. Outside
of police duties "Joe" Thompson is the
jsame good fellow,

PROGRAM FOR CAVA!/ OPENING
WAITS APPROVAL OF CONGRESS
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Jan. 14. —Aproval
by Congress of a change in plans for
the cruise of the Atlantic fleet and vis
iting foreign -war vessels to San Fran
cisco to celebrate the opening of the
Panama canal was all that was needed
to-day to make the program of the
event complete.
When Congress authoried the cruise
it was expressly provided that the
United States should invite the mari
time nations of the world to send
naval vessels to Hampton Roads in
connection with the celebration. The
European war has made this impos
sible and the plan has been abandoned.
in announcing the program Secre
tary Daniels said that instead of the
International rendezvous at Hamoton
Roads the vessels would proceed di
rectly to Cristobal, at the entrance to
the canal, and pass through to the
Pacific side at stated intervals.

of the men drowned when they at
tempted to rescue two others who had
been thrown into the river by the cap-

city. The drowned:

What Can Be Done With
the Pocket Electric Flash
"Flashlights ate thleker'n fireflies,"
remarked the country visitor, "Every
body carries one."
Exaggerated a bit, perhaps, hut it is
a fact that pocket flashlights have
come into common use within the last
few years until It would seem as
though almost everyone owns one. And
they carry them with very good rea
son, for the tiny flashlight is really the
only pocket light which can lie carried
without danger of lealtare, bad odors
or dirt. It is ready at the pressure of
a linger and throws a strong lieain of
light where It is most needed. The
lamp does not have to be lighted with
matches, requires no dangerous chemi
cals and the batteries can. w.lien worn
out, be replaced Instantly by the merest
novice, at trifling cost.
Flashlights can be purchased all the
way from twenty-live cents to several
dollars each, depending upon size,
finish and t h " life of the batteries. They
are made In sizes small enough to be
carried In the vest pocket and these
little fellows are very serviceable, giv
ing plenty of light for nearly three
hours steady burning, if required, with
out replacing the batteries. The large
sizes of pocket lamps will burn ten
hours continuously or will last for a
long time when only used for short
Intervals, now and then, as required.
