disability in the line of duty that he be-
comes unable to further perform such duty.
In his first tour of service Mr. Eckloff was
on the force for twenty-five years, but his
reappointment to the position of station
keeper" was of no value to him as regards
possible later claim for pension, because
the position of station keeper" until the
enactment of the law of February %, 1901,
did not give it's incumbent rank as men,
Der of the force.
Interpretation Of the Law.
1t seems, too. that Sergt Eckloff contrib
uted to the police pension fund only for five
years, or since 1901. and the Interpretation
of the law, made by the late Corporation
Counsel Duvall and by his successor, E. H.
Thomas, is that Eckloff had only five years
of pensionable service to his credit, and not
the required fifteen years, and further that
his disability. due to old age, could not in
the eyes of the law be regarded as ZEN
countered in the line Of service"
When Sergt. Eckloff was before the police
trial board the charge against him was in
efficiency, and he was found guilty and rec
commended for dismissal, with the proyiso
that he should be granted pension IL such
thing was possible under the law.
When Corporation Counsel Thomas prac-
tically repeated the ruling of his predeces-
sor in Office adverse to Sergt. Eckloff. the
latter was given an opportunity 10 resign
from the force, but this he persistently re-
fused to do. The recommendation of Mai.
Sylvester that the finding of the trial board
that Eckloff be removed from the force
on the charge of inefficiency-fol.owed the
return of the papers from Capt. McCathran
of the fifth precinct, under whom Eckloff
served and the approval of the Commits
sioners given Immediately closed the case.

Need Of Industries Here.
In discussing the need OF Industries here,
Mr. j. C. Ransom said that back Of the
proposed wholesale jobbing houses to be
located in Washington lies still another
question which will soon be pressing for
solution. In fact. it has already been pro
jected into view. This Is the establishment
of industries to supply the wholesale trade.
Jobbing Is of two varieties-that which con-
sists Of the sale of manufactured products
by the manufacturer and that Which Is
composed Of a large number Of commodi-
ties gathered into wholesale stores. Both
kinds have gained strong foothold In
Washington and afford the foundation upon
which the business community is to build.
A Washington house which has been en-
gagged in the manufacture and sale of
trunks and leather goods for fifty years is
one Of the most prominent in that line In

DUE TO ADVANCED AGE
POLICE sERGT. ECKLoFF Re
MOVED FROM FORCE.

Police Sergt Adolphus Eckloff, veteran
desk man at the Anacostia substation, has
finally been denied police pension by the
Commissioners, and yesterday an order
went into effect removing him from the po-
lice force on account of disabilities due to
advanced age This action has been taken
not through the desire of the authorities to
deprive Sergeant Eckloff of the Dement'S OF
the pension system, but because the law
governing the disbursement of the police
pei sion fund left them no other course to
pursue.
On the contrary, 1t has been the wish of
every Official through whose hands the pa
pers in the case have passed to give Ser
geant Eckloff a pension, even by the broad
est construction which could be given to
the regulations The Board OF Commis-
sioners has given formal hearing to the
Eckloff case; the board of police surgeons
has gone into it in detail: the police trial
board has reviewed the aged officers rec
ord; two incumbents Of the office of cor
poration counsel. District of Columbia,
have sought favorable paragraphs in the
law, and the superintendent Of police has
expressed his regret that Ecklof cannot be
pensioned-but the sergeant must go with
out reward, and without substantial recog-
Of service.
Appointed in 1851.
Mr.. Eckloff was appointed a private on
the police force September II, 1851. and
August 10, 1865, he was promoted to a
lieutenancy. which position he held until
March 8, 1883, when he was removed. A
little more than three years later he was
appointed a stationkeeper. in which posi-
ton he served until February %, 1901,
when by operation Of the law he became a
member of the regular police force as a
desk sergeant.

nesses were examined under the discov-
cry act The witnesses admitted that
Schultz was placed in the unfair list,
