DETECTIVES ARE BARRED FROM POLICE 'SCHOOL' $49 Worth of Billiard Balls 113 th Worry of "You . Un derstand Me" Windsor Superintendent of Defectives "You Understand Me" Windsor and the members of his bureau haven't been invited to the "school" which Chief of Police Wetzel is planning to conduct for the police, it was said this morn ing at headquarters. The police chief said that in view of the fact that' the Detective Bureau is a separate department, he isn't going to have any detectives in the "classes." which will be for the instruction of patrolmen only. That Chief Wetzel means business is evident from the way he spoke about the instruction ! work which he is planning for his men. "We're going to see that the officers know the city ordinances. Discipline is another thing which I think is needed. You can't have a force of | men working with no discipline and j expect to get results." 113t.1i Worry But nary a word about the detect i ives, who are now worrying with their i one hundred and thirteenth robbery |in the present series. Early yesterday morning thieves broke into the lloltz- I man & Taylor poolrooms. 323 Market ! street, and stole seven billiard balls, j valued at $7 each. Just to show that | changing districts, methods and kind of loot is only a mere trifle. Investi gations, as usual, "you understand me," are being made. How the "hurglarman" got in re mains to be learned, the police say, but be went out through a rear door, leav | ing it unlocked. Xo T.ongt'r Identify Prisoners I Superintendent "You Understand I Me" Windsor when asked this morn i ing whether his department uses the j Bertillon fingerprint system of iden i tlflc-atlon, together with taking pictures of criminals, made no reply, but hur ried into his private office with one of his staff and shut the door. Chief of Police Wetzel, however, ex plained that although the detectives ■ bandied that work, he did not believe they were taking fingerprints or filing | pictures of convicted criminals from , ITarrisburg, because the identification I fund has been exhausted. Ho inti mated that it was used to make Im | nrovements about the place before he become chief of the department. He j said the Hertillon system should most | certainly be continued. Ex-City detectives in speaking of ithe abandonment of the P.ertlllon fingerprint system and the "mugging" I of conyicted offenders, declared that they considered It unwise for the city to discontinue the Identification bu reau. as practically every other city Is using it.
