The annual reorganization cf the Metropolitan policemen's base hali club took place yesterday under the usual auspicious circumstances. Os car Borchert was made manager and Johnny Kunz captain. The team practiced yesterday and will continue to do so until there is no question of the result with any team the doughty cops might care to cross bats with.

"How is money marked'.'" repeated a headquarters detective to a reporter's query. "Well, it is not marked ia the manner that the public thinks it is. "The average person no doubt be lieves that money is marked by private marks placed on the bills with pen and ink. Perhaps some employers thus mark the bills they place in the cash drawer which is being robbed by a dis honest clerk. Of course 'marked mon ey' of this kind is good evidence in court on the trial of a man upon whom it has been found, but a check mark in ink, unless very expertly put on, might, with the aid of a good lawyer for the accused, be shown to have been perhaps accidental, ami thus would the ever sought reasonable doubt of the accused's participation in the rob bery be raised. "There are several different ways of marking money by police experts to the end that they may establish it positive identity of having previously been in their hands before the thief extracted it. The way I personally era ploy, and which is perhaps the safest to secure certainty and conviction, it the 'piu prick method.' "Let us take the familiar silver cer tificate of the live dollar denom ination for an illustration; ou that has txt'n somewhat worn is better than a new note from the treasury. In the center is the head of an Indian chief in full regalia of i athers and trappings, presenting a full face view. We now take this pin and make two punctures right through the bill and directly through the pupils of the eyes so. I hand you the bill, and, even though you saw me make the punctures, they are not visible at a casual and even critical glance. I now raise it to the light, and you can sea the two tiny, holes made by the pia point as distinctly as windows in a I building. I then apply the pin point I very neatly at the twist in the neck of the large figure 5 nt the two upper ' extreme ends of the note, You will observe that these diminutive twists 1 do not appear in the necks of the two figures of 5 which are in both ends at the bottom of the note. I then pierce the note at 'the extreme ends of the scrolls on either side of the word "rive," which may be seen in the direct center of the note at Its lower edge. "The marking of the note is now complete. It is exhibited to one or two persons in the secret for the purposes of preliminary examination and iden tification, and then placed in the money drawer, perhaps with several others of the same denomination, all exactly marked alike with the greatest care. The thief may be on the lookout for marked bills, usually ink marks, but he is a slick one who will get on to the invisible but surely present pin pricks. You see, this class of thieving does not admit of a crucial examination of the money before taking; it is usually done very quickly by palming the bills, placing them in some preliminary place of safety, to be later removed. Then we count on detection with the bills on the person before the thief has a chance to exchange or to spend them. "And the pin pricks remain? Indeed they do. The money is afterward care fully placed in envelopes and is not promiscuously handled. When they are exhibited in court and their pre liminary preparation explained under oath conviction is practically certain." Washington Star.
