All the policemen knew that The Evening World automobile was in the district, and they were very kind to it Indeed The automobile that started from uptown reached the district mentioned between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock.

By a series of investigations covering five nights, the accuracy of which has nos been questioned by Cominissioney McAdoo or any of his subordin- | ates, The Eveniug World has established that the city isnot properly patrolled by the police on the tour from midnight until § o'clock A. M, The Evening World has alzo established that the patrolmen of New York can be forced t patroi by the knowledge that they are being watched, “These results were accomplisied by reporters In two automobiles, and| before the Investigation was three days old the policemen in the districts, through which the automobiles passed knew the machines and watched for em. ‘ ‘They paid more attention to The Evening World automobiles than they did to their roundamen, On the third night of the investigation it was apparent to the obsorvers | that the efficlency of the patrotliug force was Increased 100 per cent. during the hours {n which The Evening World automobiles were out on investiga- tion tours. ‘This Increased efficluncy has beon maintained, | Reporters in two automobiles did this with nothing back of them but the power of publicity and a determination to be absolutely fair. There are on the police force of this city, approximately, 328 roundsmen. To them is intrusted directly the task of keeping the patrolmen up to the) mark of efficient work, j ROUNDSMEN NEED STIRRING UP, It seems that Commissioner McAdco might make an effort to have his roundsnen stir up his patrolmen. In fact the roundsmen appear to be in more need of a determined jostle by those in authority than do the patrol- | men, who will work, as The Evening World has shown, If they know that they are being watched, Section A of Rule 7 of the Rules and Regulations of the Police Departs | ment provides as follows. “Roundsmen shall have Inimediate supervision of th) patrolmen while ‘on patrol duty. They will CONSTANTLY patrol the posts of the men under them, visiting each of (hum 2s often as possible, and enforce their perforn- | hood. ange of duty, They shall report t» thelr commanding officers any failure on the part of the patrolmen to perform proper duty.” Here ts a plain injunction npon the roundemen to remain upon patrol constantly, to visit all the policomen on thelr posts and to keep the police- men up to the mark. Jon put in by The Evening | 4 amen were ace Rule No. 6 in the book of rules and regulations relates to the duties of sergeants. Section H reads as follows: They (the sergeants) shall, during their tour of duty, constantly patrol their respective precincts, visiting each post as often as possible in eaca tour, ascertaining the presence of each man at his proper place and alding in the enforcement of every duty, They are expected to remain patrolling their precincts, going to the station house only for the purpose of recelving or carrying such orders as mey be given them. They shall report from tne signal boxes reauied by the Inspector of the Borough.’ ONE LONE SERGEANT SEKN. But during the five nights of inspection by The Eveniag Worid, from Grand stroet to One Hundred and Twenty-fitth street, ahd from the Past River fo the Norti River, just one lone sergeant was found on patrol. There are in Now York approximately the «ame number of sergeants doing p:2- einct duty as there are roundemen, The Commissioner has nothing to say about The Evening World Invee tigation. He is extremely busy just now getting mounted policemen in tie way of traffic on Park Row at the Bridge entrance. fine he has ret make any comment on The Eve - rT a ‘ the men 4 World disc’ iter ae they manifest sumed when they were fig Every day Mnyor McClellan hi ran expression of opinion upon ¥ The kvening World concern duty Every day he has rete McAdoo TENDERLOIN POLICE BUSY | EARLY AFTER MIDNIGHT More of Them Seen Patrolling Across Town Than During Any Other Night, but Later in the Night They Disap- peared, | | system, a le ‘Tenderloin policemen were busy in the early period after the midnight platoon eciie was turned out last night, ‘The Evening World automobile observers picked up| askeq that the first of them in Twenty-third street between Broadway and Sixth aven patrolling according ws the book of rules. He was on the north side of the stro: Walking westward and moving briskly, ‘The tour of the avtomobile contemplated a covering of the district between Broadway, Central Park West, Seventh avenue and the North River, and Twentys third and One Hundeod and ‘Twenty-ifth streets, This territory embraces a et ibe six miles long and averaging a mite wide, including the old and new Ten. erlolas, the West End residential district and the west side of Harlem. Because of an accident to the automobile, the start was not made from ths cowntown end until after t o'clock in the morning. The firat policeman seen in ‘twenty-third street was doing his preliminary patrol duty—the trying of doors of business houses. No other policeman was discovered until Seventh avenue was reached, when a policeman was seen patrolling south on that thoroughfare be» tween Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets The automobile passed by the West Twenty-third street boarding-houses, silent and dark behind the long lawns of shedding trees; down to Tenth avenue, aud turned up ‘Tenth avenue, past the car barna, From Tenth avenue a policemas could be seen at the Twenty third street ferry-house, but this ts his detail, and he could not miss being there. WAS NEARLY RUN OVFR, Not until Twenty-seventh street and Ninth avenue was reached was another Policeman seen, He was tn the middle of the street under the "L" structure, so {utent upon some proceeding within the line of his vision that he was almost run over by a car, Just west of Elghth avenue in Twenty-seventh street another polices was encountered on faithful patrol, while across Bighth avenue in Twea ‘enth street wtill another policeman was doing patrol! duty ‘There was a policeman patrolling in Seventh avenue south of Twenty-seventh street and another at Twenty-seventh street and Sixth avenue, Scores of negroes, male and female, were congregated around the four corners of the: thoroug! fares, but the policeman paid no attention to them. He adhered to his duty and tried doors. In Twenty-ninth street just weet of Brondway, on the south side of the atrect & policeman was seen talking ton couple of the sort of citinena who reenrt to that neighborhood after midnight. The next Tengertoie poljeeman was found on patrot In Sixth avenue hetweea Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth streets, and right rround the corner in ‘Thirty-third” street @ policeman was doing the best ho sould to appear busy, ‘There was a policeman on patrol at Thirty-third street and Tenth avenue-a lonesome district, in which a policeman would stand little chance alone if ho encountered a crowd of ertmin: Perhaps this fact accounted for the presence at Thirty-aixth street and Tenth avenue of a man in uniform on patrol, The policemen were within ell oP each other. The prevalence of policemen patrolling across town was made more marked tr 'Phirty-fitth street, where a polleeman was walking a beat between Elghth and Ninth avenues, As the automobile swung up Broad’ from Thirtyefifth street the grent artery of activtty of the city was deserted an the eye could sea save for a spot between Thirty-elghth and ‘Thirty-ninth streets, where a police- man was on guard. TWO IN LONGACRE SQUARE. feventh avenue, the refuge of the Powers that Prey upon the credulous in Broadway, was dotted here and there with hurrying figures, A policeman was, leaning against the ig railing In the rear of the Metropolitan Opera-Ilouse, at Fortleth street, In conversation with a citizen, Not again was the gage of the! observers gratified by sight of a policeman in & run out to Tenth avenue, and up! that thoroughfare until the crossing of Forty-second street was reached.

Longacre square is surrounded by a ‘poputou and pleasure loving neighbor- | lany exciting Incidents in the life of the metropolis happen In and around Longacre square, But there were no policemen apparent there, other than the two at Forty-third street, nor was another found until the automobile got away over to the corner of Fifty-fifth street and Tenth avenve, There a policeman was seen in the shadow of a bullding, Up Tenth avenue to Fifty-ninth street, end across town to the eastward, the — wr Mey RN ERPTEMSEN £2, !

There was a patro!man doing duty in a similar manner in Amaterdin avenue neas Seventy-fourth street, These were the only policemen seen while running across town from Central Park through Seventy-fArat street to Tenth ay nue, up to Beventy-fifth street and east to Central Park again, up Elghth avenue to Beventy-ninth street, and clear across to Amaterdam avenue, where a policeman was found standing on the corner of Eightieth street. In all this stretch not a pedestrian was seen. In all the district between Rightieth street and One Hundred and Tenth street, and Central Park and West End avenue, there were found just five policemen. It was late wher the automobile toured this tlon—after 2 o'clock—which seems to be the hour marking the eclipse of patrolmen under the present system of cov- ering posts, The five faithful patrolmer were discovered at Eighty-clghth street and Am- lam avenue, Ninety-first street and West End ave Ninety-ninth street ond Amsterdam avenue, Righth avenue heiween Ninety-elghth and Ninety-ninth streets, and One Hundred and Fourth street and Columbus avenue.

While The Fvening World's automobile No, 2 was passing through a side Atreet on the upper west portion of Manhattan this morning a policeman stepped out and hailed the chauffeur, The auto was stopped, and the policeman inquired, gravely: “Is this thing on the level, or ts it just a bluff?" j When assured that the investigation was being conducted with the idea of get. ting at the truth, to ascertain just how many policemen did their duty and how many did not, he continued: “T've been on the sidewalk for some years, a8 you can see by my stripes, and I tell you the offic does his duty is not afraid of surveillance.
