Newspaper Page TextPOLICEMAN’S TOO, CHEST devices fob the capture and DETENTION OF CRIMINALS. I A Bureau of Equipment* Vhere These Utensils Are Made and SMd to Police Departments, United fctates Mar shals and State Prisons—The Fluted Club, the Steel Nippers, the Inimit able Whistle, the Oregon Boot and Other Novelties. (Copyright 1889.1 New York, June 15.—0n thenorth side of Broome street, below Brad way is a simple swing sign referring to tae fact that there is a hardware firm on the first story. But it is a very peculiar hardwire firm, in deed. • The visitors who climb up to the second story of this rather somber looking build ing are always men. Tall men and short men, big men and little men, nut all bear ing a kind of family resemblance, no matter how they may differ in attire, in physique or even in nationalty. They are all officers of the law and their patronage alone is so licited by this particular hardware storo whose entire stock is comjrdtnised in the tools necessarv for the capture of thieves and their subsequent safe keeping and whcse trade extends all over North and a goodly portion ot South America. The clerks in this unique establishment taka as much pleasure in showing their goods as a salesman in a Broadway drygoods store. One of them showed the writer over the place the other day and chatted merrily of his peculiar wares. ‘■'Everyone" he said, “is familiar with the policeman's ordinary night stick or locust. It is hi inches in length. The day clubs are not quite so serviceable, but they are much hamsomer. They are made in rose-wood, iroj-wood and ebony, and are 22 inches in length. The clubs used by the ’ Broadway sqiad are very stylish affairs costing all the way from $1 to $2, and the cord and tassel will cost 75 cents more. Of course, those carried by the sergeant, and captains are mucbanore expensive, varying from $o to S2O eacn. There have been two impijpvements recently made in clubs, one of which consists of fluting the handle and the other of having the handle on a swived. The object in each case is the to prevent the club being wrenched from the hands of the officer. This is accomplished in the fluted club by longitudinal groves cut in the club just where the hand of the officer closes upon it and doubles the strength of bis hold so that a rough getting bold of the other end of the club can not with twice his force get it out of the officer’s hand. The swivel accomplishes the same object by allowing the body of the club to revolve. “Here,” ha continued, taking up a rather peculiar looking club, “is what is known as a humane club. It is Made of sole leather cut in the required forms and brought to gether under heavy pressure over elastic iq.ols'Ton Buriy steel spring wires, cemented and rivited and covered with the same material, securing a Perfect service which is slightly elastic. To form the handle a cover is neatly braided oyer the smaller end. The weapon is flexi ble, but can effectively knock out a man without inflicting the permanent injury which so often results from the vigorous use of the ordinary club. “Nippers, or ‘come-a-longs,’ are among the most useful tools in an officer’s outfit. They are designed to clasp around the wrist of a refractory prisoner and enable the officer to subdue him or break his wrist in the effort. The steel nippers most com monly used are the inventions of the late Sergt. \V. (r. Phillips, who was con nected with the New York police depart ment for over twelve years. They are in the form of calipers where they grasp the wrist of the prisoner, but the handle is pro vided with a cross-bar which enables the officer with one turn of his wrist to bring the strongest ruffian to his knees. Another form of the same useful article is the chain nippers. This consists of two T shaped han dles connected by a carefully welded wire chaiu of great strength. It has taken the place of the country officer’s old device of twiue and catgut for securing the wrist of refractory prisoners. It is the form of nip pers usually carried by New York patrol “ There is quite a variety in hand-cuffs,’’ 110 continued, as he opened a large show case where in polished steel and dazzling nmkel hundreds of these bracelets glittered. The old style hand-cuffing was a poor thing at best and where the prisoner’s hand* w ere small and easily compressed into the Jme size as the wrist, there was little trouble in getting out of them. The modern cuff is mad* to fit any wrist, the steel bow Passing through the lock being a ratchet allowing the cuff to bo closed as tight as desired, butloosened only when unlocked.” ‘Bo prisoners, ever get out of these hand cuffs?" “Well, vqry seldom. An old time expert }* '®ft aloe with one hand may pick the mck on tie cuff of the other. Here is a form of cuff to prevent this. You see be tween the .’uffs instead of the ordinary link ls a steel bar about 1$ inches loqg whfth effectual I_* keeps the hands apart. Some time ago getting out of handcuffs wos a common ‘manifestation’ with so-called spiritual pediums. The trick w.i done by mtroducUg a piece of quill shaved down noe between the ratchet and the boife, By striking a number of blows with the steel bow of the euff against some hard substance \ 6 bolt is- made to jump the ratch ets sufficiently to free the hands. This, however, we have got over by means of a double lock which is warranted to defy the efforts or the spiritual friends of Madame Dis Debar herself. “There is another varietv of handcuffs where there are three cuffs instead of two." They are mainly used by sheriffs in trans porting prisoners by rail, the third cuff being fastened to the arm of toe car seat. Some times three prisoners are shackled together with them when they are in such an awk ward position that running away becomes an impossibility, as taey would tumble over each other. “Leg irons are now made on the same pattern as handcuffs. Tney are generally supplied with a bill and chain. The balls vary in weight all the way from twelve pounds to fifty, and though awkward things to have on one, do not prevent a man from working. Leh.inger's shackle, more com monly known as the Oregon boot, is the best device yet invented for the safe hold ing of desperate criminals, and is much pref erable to the ordinary ball and chain ar rangement. It consists of, as you see, a heavy iron shackle which weighs eleven or fifteen pounds and surrounds the foot above the ankle. It rests upAi a stirrup and the stirrup is secured by screwing it to the heel of the shoe. It has secure fastenings to prevent its removal bv the prisoner or his friends. It will allow him to do any ordi nary work inside or outside the prison with safety and reasonable comfort. They are in great demand in the south where out door prison labor is so common, as they do away with the necessity for the numerous guards which has so largely rendered it un profitable. Of course, there is not much Cisure in walking around with an Oregon t oii, but the amount of personal dis comfort in wearing it is much loss than its formidable appearance would suggest, A prisoner with an Oregon boot, however, may be safely trusted not to run far. “Police whistles used by officers for call ing assistance are quite expensive, the com monest kind selling for 50 cents. These whistles have a peculiar tone and can be heard for ft great distance on a still night. Unfortunately, the toie can be imitated and since the patent on the original whistles ran out a number of them have been sold to private parties, and in some cities they have been useildiy.-practical jokers to the annoy ance and disgust of the police officers. So far did the abuse extend in San Francisco that a special law had. to be passed makiug it an offense for a citizen to sound a police whistle except ,to summon needed assistance! Thebest police whistle is that known as the ‘unique.’ Like the rattle of the rattlesnake, once heard its sound will never be mistaken for anything else. It has two distinct tones and gives a most discordant shrill and pierc ing whistle. It has never been imitated and it is sold exclusively for police use. “We make it a rule under no circum stances to sell our goods to strangers. We do not want them to fall into the hands of any one except officers of police depart ments, United States marshals and depu ties wardens of state and county orisons, and criminal authorities generally. ’’ “How many customers for these things have you?” remarked the writer as he glanced around on the rather outre collec tion of tools of the thief-taker that sur rounded him on every side. "It is hard to give a good idea. We sup ply 500 distinct police departments in the United States and Canada alone, not to feg lma ~ speak of United States marshals and sher iffs, and deputy sheriffs from Maine to Mex ico.” “I presume That you must have a rushing trade in clubs, nippers and twisters in the frontier states where officers have so frequently to encounter desperate charac ters?” “Well, the reverse is the case. We have little or no call from officers on the frontier for anything outside of handcuffs, shackles, leg iro is, Oregon boots and ball and chains. Frontier officers never do any fooling with a refractory prisoner. If he attempts any resistance he is beaten over the head with a six-shooter until he is insensible, at the very least, if he islucky enough to escape being Bhot dead. In large cities it is sel dom an officer uses his pistol* ex cept upon a prisoner who has attempted to give leg bail. Then he is just as like to hit a bystander as the fugi tive. Our policemen should practice with their pistols until they become good shots if only out of regard for the life of the ordi nary citizens exposed by wild shooting in the public streets. “The ordinary police revolve!* used by officers in New York, and our other large cities, is of 38-caliber. It is carried in a rubber pocket pistol case which protects the pistol thorougnly against rust from prespiration, prevents it from wearing through the pocket and permits its in stant withdrawal for use without catch ing the hammer in the clothing. The far ther you get aw iy from the great cities the larger bee >mes the calibre of t ie revolver carried by officers. The man who is satis fied to trust to a 41-caliber double-action Colt’s in Kansas City wants a44 when he reacher Denver, and nothing less than a45 will suit him when he gets to El Paso, TdXfis “The rogues’ gallery, or the Adams cabi net, as it was more politely termed, is the only piece of furniture not made in metal that we supply to police departments. There is one standing in the turner of the ware room,” remarked my guide. It was of wal nut and stood about four feet from the ground and would have been an ornament in any gentleman’s study. “It is a contrivance,” he continued, “for exhibiting rapidly all the portraits of criminals in the collection of the depart ment and over thirty of them are in use by the New York police authorities alone, distributed between headquarters and the principal precinct stations. A key applied to the lock in the door of the cabinet opens it and frees a drawer below, which contains an index to the gallery and tha criminal record of each man’s picture which is in it. The door is swung Back till held bv a catch when a number of wooden frames are ex hibited each divided into 100 compartments, the size of a carte do visit*.” David ITechsler.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1889. EXPENSIVE LUXURY. It Costa Something For a Girl to Ba Graduated. From the Baltimore Herald. Commencement season is cl at hau l and its approach has set the hearts of pros pective graduates in a flatter. To pupils of both sexes the event of graduation is one of mome ;tous importance. The boys regard it as a rule as the day on which they turn their back on a period of financial unfruit fulness, in which, however, thev have been accumulating a fund of information so varied that tney believe they know every thing that is worth knowing, and which is bound to at once promote ttiem to fields of usefulness and money-making. The feelings of the girl graduate differ materially from those of the boy. Bh9 s-*es herself gaily bedecked in a rich gown, set off with jewelsand adorned withflowers, surrounded by a coterie of other girls not quite as pretty or attractive as herself, but still good enough to fo'in a frame for so charming a picture; while before her are other mounds of flowers and mysterious little packages whose contents she longs to discover, beyond all of which is a vast and admiring concourse of papas, mammas, sisters, brothers, cousins, sweethearts and hosts of others besides; but it is a great incident in the greater event when she sweeps to the front of the stage, c urtesies with a grace that has cost her days and nights of thought and practice, and reads that essay wmch must certainly project its nut or into the first ranks of the army of literary workers. It has been written and rewritten and writ ten over again. Every “i” is dotted and every “t” crossed. How daintily she holds the manuscript—fine white linen pa|ier! Did you ever see such a bewitching bow of terracotta ribbon as that which binds leaf with leaf? What sentiment! What poetry! “Genius!” exclaims the yo mg ma i with the frail mustache, who has spent exactly $1 75 for that bouquet you see in the pile. "By George; she’ll write a book some o’ these days!” The eisay is drawing to the close. The author turns toward the teacher as only a graduate can. Observe the blushes on tile prinoipal and the cynic smile that the liter ature preceptress struggles to supples,! Nasty mean old thing—that literature teacher. The principal’s eyes grow moist; he has to use his new hem-stitched b riler silk han Ikerchiaf. It is too touching, too tender—this apostrophe to pedagogic great ness. Ah! it’s all over. (Deafening ap- plause.) A perfect deluge of flowers, de lighted parents, uproarous sweethearts, music by the band! a rush for the stage, a hack for the graduate and express wagon for the flowers. “Gool gracious Tom I How awkward you are! Will you never learn how to con trol your feot when you are with a girl?” Tom is the sweetheart. He is i ending the gra luate of all graduates to him into her hack. His excitement only nvils her annoyance, for he has stepp and on her $l5O graduating dress, torn off a flounce or two *and caused such other damage to the gown as a man c innot describe and only a woman can understand. It is an incident that dims the luster of tha occasion. The fair graduate cannot forgive it. Tom is c ushed. So is papa’s pocketbook. Tom “gets the shake.” He is only a school girl’s lover. He crushes with hi terness the bill for tie $1 75 bouquet. So does papa when be gets the dressmaker’s statement, aod lemarks: “Well, I guess I’ll have to hustle for the next six months to raisj the money to wipe out those notes! Lord, but I hope Mary Ann will succeed in makiug an eligible match before this tims next year!” All this happens at a female high school commencmont. Everybody has been to the graduating exercises of one of these public institutions. Pleasant enough occa sion! pretty girls; nice music. “But,” remarks a stranger, “I thought you said that this was a public school com mencement.” “Certainly 1 What did you suppose it wash’ “Why,” is the reply, “I would suppose it to be the graduating exercises of Mine, de Rasaldaielle’s fashionable seminary. Look at all the finery. Look at the jewels! I thought the public schools were the schools for the masses.” “There are a good many people who take a similar view. Did you notice one plain, placid girl, seated unconspicuously a nong her companions? She had no especial charm of figure; she wore no jewels except a sin gle gold pin: her dress was a good oue and cost at least SSO. She stood at the head of the graduatiug class.” “What? She didn’t read the valedic tory.” “No, of course she didn’t. She couldn’t sum up tha courage to do so. Her voice is thin as her figure. She couldn’t be heard even if she could master her nerves or con sent to permit an unfavorable coutrast be tween her dress aud the dresses of hand somer and richer girls about her.” “Then who read her e say for her?” “That handsome blonde with the im ported dress aid diamond ornament. You remember how lovely she looked!” “Yes, to be sure. Charming girl, wasn’t she? Suoh a melodious voice and entranc ing manner! She must be very talented.” “Sh! Just barely passed tha examina tion I” "Wbewl She’ll get married first though.” ‘‘The valedictorian who didu’t read her valedictory—do you know what’ll become of ner?” She’ll probably have to wait month after month in a fruitless effort to get a position of teacher in a prim iry school because she has no beauty and ca a’t get enough political influence to help her through.” All this teaches one thing, that pub lic commencement exercises in public high schools are an evil This is not the unanimous opinion of the school board, but it is the opinion of a considerable number of members. Some are outspoken against public commencements, but others, wh do not fa vor them, are afraid to oppose the n as there are parents who can afford to furnish hand some dresses for their daughters, and so like to have them app ar in public on an oc casion of this character. School Commissioner Burke, of the Fourth ward, who is a plain man, is very positively opposed to the public commencement sys tem. “It is altogether wrong,” said Mr. Burke yesterday. “I only wish that I could make the sort of a speech against it that the mat ter deserves. It has an injurious effect ii more than one way. The public schpois are for poor as well as rich. There should be no distinction on account of financial or social position. But these public commence ments, especially of the female high schools, do make distinctio s. The rich graduates wear expensive clothe*. Hundreds of dollars are expended on these outfits. They get loads of flowers. How is it with the girl* wboseparents are poor ? Either they have to bear the huiniiation of wearing dresses that look shabby and cheap when put b side those of wealthy girls, or their fathers have to borrow money, go in debt and starve themselves and their families for mouths after.” “Do you know of any suoh instances?” “I do, most certainly,” replied Mr. Burke, “and that is why 1 feel the evil so deeply. A worthy hard-working man, who is a me chanic, had to sell a lot of his furniture and borrow money from a friend of mi e to get bis daughter, who was graduatiug fram the high school, a suitable dress. Another poor man, whom I know well, mortgaged his little house for the same purpose. An otner family bad to go half clothed for six months—there were a good many of them— because of the expanse iuvolved in buying a commencement dress for the oldest daughter. These are only a few instances; there are plenty more.” The flower question is as serions as the dross question. Girls who have money ami friends will be laden with floral tributes. Tho poor- girl is lucky if she gate one small, miserable bouquet. Ten chances tonne that single bouquet has been bought with pennies saved up for months <ut of the market money. No need to dwell on her feelings. “I never felt so much for anybody,” said School Commissioner Fusselbaugh, “as I did at a commencement notions ago, where there was one girl who didn’t get a single U 'wer. T ere were several girls who re ceived but a single bouquet apiece. There were others who received eaouga to equip a fashionable floral depot. But this girl didn’t as much as have a soiitarv rose. I didu’t know har, but, if it had been possi ble, I certainly would have bought her a basket of flowers myself.” Anoth *r evil in the public commence ment is the amount of time wasted in pren aration by the girls. For weeks their heads are fqll of gowns and fans aud siip- Eers and gloves. Beside their hour after our taken from serious study to be devoted to the writing of essays or elocutionary practice in oder to read them before an audience of 3,00 J persons. For a mouth be fore commencement the graduatiug olass practically does nothing in the line of solid work. The demoralization is apt to mike itself felt on the other classes, for they have to be dressed up to participate in the musical exercises ou tha commencement programme. “It’s all nonsense to make girls of 16 and 17 read gradua ing essays before big audi ences,” said a well-known educator last week. “How can you expect them to pro duce anything of sufficient literary merit to deserve such publicity 1 Their work will be crude unless other hands than theirs assist them. This leads to literary dishonesty— *o plagiarism. I may be an old fogy, but I must say that I am" very emphatically op posed to these public coniine cements in public schools, and to the reading of essays before an audience of outsiders. It would be more democratic and more healthy to the participants to have the exercise* sim ple and confined to the schools themselves. There would bo fewer heartburnings, and tie distinctions of wealth and social posi tion would not make themselves eoparent.” Ages of American Writers.
