Closer surveillance of the city of Portland and a better protection Rsainst "yeg?:3" and robbers now operating in the city 13 planned as the result of an order issued by Chief of Police Jenkins yesterday which provides that half of the second night relief under the leadership of Cap tain Harms shall report each night at 8 o'clock for duty iintil 4 in the morn ing-, working in conjunction with th regular night reliefs during those hours. The new order, which went into ef fect last night, without increasing the number of policemen on the force, 1 1 ovides for an increase of approxi mately 35 men during the hours when outlaws are most active. This will mean that during the first part of the night and up to 12 o clock midnight the city will be patrolled by 100 po licemen, giving the be.t- protection the city has had in years. Emergency Force Available. From 12 o'clock to 4 the force will be approximately the same, although distributed in a way which it is an ticipated will be more effective. From 4 o'clock on the force will be weaker, but this is not considered important, ns most crimes ar; committed before that time. However, at any time that it is considered important, the emer gency force created by yesterday's or der and under the leadership of Cap tain Harms may be held on duty. A portion of the men of the new 8 to 4 shift will be placed at various points in th city each night, where they are thought most needed. A pquad will also be retained by Captain Harms for patrol duty in an automo bile. Another feature of the new F.vstem provides for a number of mo torcycle men stationed t various fire houses about the city. By this means. when an emergency call comes in, motorcycle men in the vicinity can be rushed from the nearest fire house. Phone Reports Required. . Men on the emergency shift thus created will report by telephone to the police station every 30 minutes, thereby being In close touch at all hours in case any emergency call should be recei ved. Another feature of the new sys tem will be the naming of a man to take emergency calls at the station. When a call comes in he will record all details and in the meantime mo torcycle men will be dispatched to the scene to take up the trail. i iic new lorce win oe particularly used for work on the east side, where protection nas been especial ly weak and where most of the holdups and robberies have been made. Chief Jen kins announced. Outer DHtrlcta Get Protection. "Since the wave of crime struck Portland the force of men on some of the important down-town beats has been doubled. This has been done at the expense of the outlying districts. The new move is plahned to protect to a greater extent the outlying dis tricts and at the same time give the entire city better protection, the chief said. As the result of Captain Harms be ing detailed for duty during the early part of the night, the second night relief will be in charge of Serjeant Wade from 4 o'clock in the morning until 7:30. when the day relief goes on tiuty.
