Invariably In advance RETURN FROM JAMESTOWN ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE CONCLUDES CONVENTION. TliamKftinn nf Tin RnViiort Tlirririnff' Concealed of the Members. Maj. Sylvester, who was elected president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police for the eighth tiYne, returned yesterday from Jamestown, where the annual convention was neld. He was accompanied by several chiefs from other cities and members of their families.

A number of them had not been here before, and they were entertained by a committee of the local force, the ladies going to Mt. Vernon and the men to other places. In the afternoon Maj. Sy-vester entertained the visitors at dinner. Several members of the party went from here to Baltimore as the guests of Marshal Farnan and Capt.

Pumphrey. They expect to leave Baltimore tomorrow night All the delegates to the convention were pleased with their trip to Jamestown, especially the trip down the Potomac. Some went on the day boat to enjoy the scenery along the historic river, others making the trip on the night boat to save a day of their outi'ng at the exposition. During the time the convention was in session at Jamestown the members of the association listened to a number of inter I'Ming papers upon questions or interest to the po ice, the most interesting being a contribution upon the question of concealed weapons, which was read by J. H.

Ha.vden, chief of police of Rochester, N. Y. His paper was discussed at considerable length, more than a dozen members of the association participating. The name of President Roosevelt figured in the d.seussion. being mentioned by (ieorge SI.

Shippy. general superintendent of the Chicago force, and W. Clemans, chief of police of Wheeling. W. one of them referring to the incident at the time of the corner-stone laying on Masonic Temoie.

the other teillnir of the effect upon residents of his city made by a speech of the President. Suggestion of Harm. Chief Hayden dwelt at length upon the question of concealed weapons. He pointed out tie harm that is done because people happen to be armed at a time they become involved in slight trouble; told of the difficulty experienced by the police because of the number of persons indulging i'n the practice, and concluded by saying that he favors the passage of a uniform law making the carrying of a a felony. John I Downey, chief of the Detroit force, said while as a rule he condemned the carrying of concealed weapons there are exceptions.

He cited the case of a banker Iiuure III a MkC UUUi U1 liltr Illglll with a large sum of money fn his pocket. Such a person, he argued, should not be arrested for being armed. Frederick Kohler, chief of police of Cleveland, Ohio, held to the vi'ew that no man has a right to carry a loaded revolver unless he is legally authorized to do so. "Under the law in my city," Chief Weir of Birmingham, remarked, "nobody' has a right to carry a weapon; not even a policeman. I have known of instances in which members of our force have been served with warrants for carrying revolvers." J.

H. Maddox, chief of the Fort Worth police force, surprised his hearers when he advocated the universal carrying of weapons. He frankly stated that if he had his way he would insist upon every man being armed. Story of Highwayman. Chief Maduox related a story of a lone highwayman holding up a stage coach and robbing the passengers.

The highwayman was asked by one of his victims how it was that he had the nerve to hold up so many persons, and he explained that he knew the passengers were gentlemen and he also knew that gentlemen did not like to get arrested for carrying concealed weapons. Feeling certain, therefore, that they were not armed, he said, he had no fear of the consequences. "Let the law-abiding citizen go armed." the chief suggested, "and the criminal will not be so bold. If he knows his weapon Is to be met with others he will not take such desperate chances." Chief Shlppy of Chicago said as he Is the baby member of the association it had not Kfir.n Vila In -U 1 a 1 uv I 1HICIUIVII IU mane a UUl lit) had to admit that the chief from Fort Worth had awakened him. In view of what had been stated upon the subject, he said, he could easily understand about the President Incident at the corner-stone laying-.

Chief Siiippy coyld not agree with the remarks that had been made by the chief from Fort Worth. He was opposed to the carrying of weapons, and thought a stringent law against It should be upon the statute books. Enters Vigorous Objection. Chief Clemans of Wheeling entered vlg- orous objection to the carrying of concealed weapons. He recalled the time when President Roosevelt advocated the policy of every young man learning how to shoot.

The remarks found their way Into print, he stated, and for two or three months thereafter, he said, his men experienced great difficulty In straightening out the con cealed weapon carriers. A number of other chiefs participated in the discussion. It was agreed that there should be a uniform law against the practice of persons roaming about the streets of cities and the roads in the country with loaded revolvers In their pockets, but no conclusion was reached as to whether the proposed law should be for a felony or a misdemeanor. Reports made by chiefs from different sections of the United States showed that there Is a great variance between the laws of the different states. It wa.5 stated that in some places permits to carry weapons are granted by probate Judges, and that in others such permits are granted by superintendents of police.

Several of the chiefs expressed themselves as favoring a law giving the authority to grant such permits to reputable persons who have legitimate reasons for wanting the privilege accorded them. Others, however. were opposed to any exceptions being made to the law which is intended to prevent the practice. The paper of Chief Hayden was enthusiastically received by the mtmYjers in attendance, and It is likely I that the discussion will ut tho meeting in Detroit next year.

The big: white flag with a red figure In Its center to represent a base ball, which Is being used by The Star on Its flag pole to Inform the public whether or not there Is to be a ball game at the National Park, and which has proved to be very popular to the local "fans" since Its inauguration several days ago, was responsible for an Interesting episode In a large downtown department store the second day the signal flag furled to the breezes. The well-known "head" of the book department of the store mentioned and the man who buys the boows for the store were going over some new stock In their little room on the top floor of the store that particular day when the chief of the de partment spied The Star's base bail flag. He looked intently at It for a moment, being a learned man, and then inquired: "What kind of a flag is that The Star office is flying?" His companion and fellow book worker studied the white flag with Its red circle for a long time and then said: "It looks to me the Jap's flag." "Never," replied the other.

"The circle isn't large enough, and, besides, the Jap flag lias red bars radiating from the center, Similar to the rays of the sun. However, it might be one of Russia's new flags." "Well, If that isn't the Jap Hag I'll eat my hat," said the well-versed book buyer. While the flrst speaker was studying the flag a young man fresh from school who up to tliis point had been busy dusting off the shelves ventured the suggestion that the flag was just like that of Siam which he had seen in geographies. "Sure; that's what it is," yelled the flrst speaker. nc nao again tuuuauiuicu ujr cue uuutv buyer, who insisted that It was the Japanese llag, and the two men became so Interested that they went to the book department on the first floor to refer to a volume containfrig prettily colored pictures of the "flags of all nations." and after spending three hours satisfying themselves that The Star's flag was not Japanese, nor Russian, nor Siamese, they asked the elevator boy, who happened to be one who has three or four grandmothers and uncles to die every base ball season.

With no end of disgust on his face at their Ignorance of base ball matters, he gave them the desired information. Baltimore and Return, $1.25, Baltimore and Ohio R.R. Every Saturday and Sunday. All trains both ways, both days, except Royal Limited. City offices, 1417 st.

FLEETWOOD. Colored Race Now Without Rommiseionprn Restricted by the Law. After July 1 next the examining board 'of the Graduate Nurses' Association of the District of Columbia will be without a colored member. The board was created by Congress last February, and when the board was selected a few weeks later by the Commissioners, from nominations submitted by the nurses' association, Mrs. Sarah Fleetwood, a colored trained nurse, was imong the number.

Her term expires the 30th Instant, and Miss Georgin.i Graham of the Garfield Memorial Hospital School for Nurse a iias been selected to succeed her. The Commissioners, It is said, regret that Mrs. Fleetwood was not renominated. However, the bill governing the trained and registered nurses of the District was not of me commissioners' making, and they are without any supervision or authority over the body, except tliat of appointing the board of examiners, and that privilege Is limited to appointing only those nominated by the nurses' association, so the Commissioners have practically nothing to do with this body, but they have announced their intention of having the law amended. Matter of Regret.

Commissioner Macfarland yesterday afternoon announced that Mrs. Fleetwood will not be reappointed, much to his regret. In anticipation of the vacancy the Graduate Nurses' Association sent to the Commissioners a list of three names, as required by law, from which the Commissioners must make the appointment. They were Miss Georgina Graham of the Garfield Memorial Hospital School for Nurses, Miss Bertha Orlo-Smith of the Rochester Homeopathic Hospita School for Nurses, Rochester, N. nnd Miss Saliie F.

Melhorn of the Columbia and Children's Hospitals School of Nursing. Finding that Afrs. Fleetwood was not renominated by the Graduate Nurses' Association, and that no one else was nominated representing the colored trained nurses, nor the Freedmen's Hospital Training School for Nurses, Com missioner Macfarland, before laying the list of nominees before the Commissioners, Informally asked the Graduate Nurses' Association to reconsider Its action, and suggest among the three names one representing the Interest which Mrs. Fleetwood now represents upon the board, stating at the same tirna that no adverse criticism whatever respecting the service of Mrs. Fleetwood had come to the notice of the Commissioners.

Reply From Association. Commissioner Macfarland has received rrom Miss Elizabeth m. wewitt, secretary of the Graduate Nurses' Association, a letter in which she said: "At a meeting of the Graduate Nurses' Association of the District of Columbia, called at your suggestion to reconsider nominees for the vacancy occurring on the nurses' examining board on July 1, It was decided that the association having complied with the requirements of the bill no further action is necessary. "As an association, there Id no objection to a colored member on the board, and no doubt their representatives will see to It in future that they are Included in the list of nominees. "Although it is well known that at the semi-annual meeting of the association In May nominations for the examining board were in order, no colored member was present." Commissioner Macfarland has replied that he regrets exceedingly that by this decision the Commissioners are restricted to a selection from the three nominees presented by the association under the law, and therefore that It is not in their power to reappoint Mrs.

Fleetwood or to appoint some other representative of the Freedmen's Hospital Training School and the colored trained nurses. Graduates of Freedmen's School. Dr. W. A.

Warfield, sergeon-ln-chief of the Freedmen's Hospital, has Informed Commissioner Macfarland that the average number of pupila In the Freedmen's Hospital training School for Nurses Is thirty, and that from twelve to eighteen nurses are graduated annually, and that the total 1 number graduated from the school Is 108. Commissioner Macfarland yesterday stated the facts to the Commissioners, and added that since the law restricted the Commissioners to the nominations of the association, there was nothing for him to do but recommend that one of the persons nominated be selected, and he therefore recommended the iirst on the list, Miss Graham.
