NEW YORK POLICE
A SPECIAL BRANCH FORMED. NEW YORK, July 9. The Police Department is taking a leaf out of the book of ScotlandfYard. Fifty of the best detectives in America, who are not known personally to thieves and racketeers (hired gunmen), in New York, are being recruited from the Secret Service Bureau. They are expected to become members of hoodlum gangs, confidants of bootlegs, and sweethearts of underworld queens. When they get information of value to the_Police Department they will telephone their chief, giving only their number. They will never appear at headquarters, and cannot make an arrest even if they want to. None of these 50 will bo personally known to each other.
