MORE CHANGES ARE LIKELY
superintendent Issues order TO the
Captains Calling Attention 10 In
stances of DereIictiOn OF Duty.
Mccormick and Russell Change
Places as Result of the Shake-up.

Two sergeants Of the mounted police
were peremptorily transferred by Mai.
Sylvester last night. They are:
sergt- J. W. MCCORMICK. of Fifth precinct. sent
to the Ninth precinct.
sergt S. L. II. RUSSELL. o. Ninth precinct,
shifted to No. 5.
Coincident with these changes Super
intendent Sylvester issued to the captains
OF the various precincts an order in
which attention is called to the derelic-
ton Of duty on the part OF certain OFF,
GERS. The order is as follows:
1T is given as report to these head
quarters that the mounted sergeants are
not all affording that energetic, intelli-
gent, and careful supervision of action as
required of them by the regulations. and
changes have been recommended.
You VIII confer with the officers OF
your command and impress upon them
the importance Of rendering a full and
expected supervision and duty, in order
10 avoid the adoption of more strenuous
action on the part Of the authorities. 4"
More Changes Possible.
Other changes Of sergeants are now
under consideration.
1T has recently come to my notice. +"
said Maj. Sylvester last night. that
some Of the mounted sergeants have been
loafing while on duty, one or two OF them
having been discovered in a stable when
they should have been patrolling their
beats. Ny future policy will be to dis
mount such men, as from the very ma
tuTe OF their work they should set an
example TO the other members Of the
force. Being mounted officers and COW
ering a large territory, II is necessary to
impose a trust in them, and 1t is my
Intention TO assign 70 such positions men
In whom l can place a dependence.

intention 70 see that the regulations are
observed. and 10 that end / will make,

In attempting to cross the tracks to
board a car on the Chevy Chase line yes

The accident occurred on Connecticut
avenue extended, near the Army and
Navy Preparatory School, where Jones
was employed as a waiter. lie had just
left the place and was running to get a
car for the city when he was killed. It
Is thought that he either did not see the
approaching car or thought that he could
cross the tracks ia time.
Before Motorman z. 7. Thomas could
bring his car TO stop the negro had
been forced under the lower track fen
der Although neither Of the wheels
passed over the man. nearly every bone
in his body was broken. A number Of

was found in the road near Thompson
Bridge, in Rock Creek Park. early yes

been murdered.
The discovery was made by John D.
Morey, of 1923 Tenth street northwest,

ported the matter TO the police The only
clew to the mans assailants was
womans shawl which was found within
a few feet OF the dead man. The police
soon received information leading TO the
identity Of the shawl, and arrested Hat
tie Martin. colored. Later on, the woman's
husband Moses Martin. was arrested.
The police say the woman acknowledges
the ownership Of the shawl. and said
that she was on the scene at the time
OF the assault on the man. According to
the police she charges that an unidenti-
fed colored tramp hit the man with
club.
Eugene Bailor. colored, who was shot
by Policeman c. A. Strobel last Monday

day noon at the Emergency Hospital.
The negro's injuries were considered only

day he was allowed 70 sit up in his bed
for the first time, and was allowed TO

physicians at the institution. and 1t IS
probable that il will not be long before
he Will have recovered sufficiently to be
