mines that further proceedings shall be
had, he shall submit the facts to the as
sistant attorney general for the Post Of
flee Department, with request for advice
as to whether or not suit shall be brought
to recover the amount claimed against
the party held responsible or his bonds
men, and further action Is to be taken &C
cordingly.

MOVES THREE uEUTENANTS
SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE
ORDERS TRANSFERS.
Decides to Promote a Sergeant to
Acting Commissioned Officer
to Fill Vacancy.

Mai Richard Sylvester, superintendent
of police. has decided to appoint an act
ing lieutenant in order to Ali vacancy
caused by the detail of Lieut.. Anderson
for duty In Anacostia. Since Lieut.. Ander-
son was sent to Anacostia several months
ago there has been no person assigned
to duty as lieutenant in the fifth precinct,
and as the law requires liquor applications
to be acted upon by the lieutenants of
the several precincts 1t is deemed neces-
sary to have such an officer on duty
in each precinct. It is not the intention
Of Maj. Sylvester to assign the acting
lieutenant to the fifth precinct at this
time, however. an order from headquarters
yesterday having left the vacancy in the
fourth precinct. The vacancy will prob
ably be filled tomorrow or Tuesday.
In rearranging the detail of lieutenants.
Maj Sylvester directed that three be
transferred from their present posts.
Probably the most important transfer in
wolves Lieut.. j. Thomas Hollinberger and
Lieut.. James Hartley. The former is to
go from the fourth to the first precinct.
while the latter goes from the first to the
second precinct The other lieutenant
transferred is Joshua Sprinkle of the
fifth precinct. Just who is to be made
acting lieutenant and assigned to the
fourth precinct is not known. Maj. Syl-
vester is DESTROYS of rewardirg one of the
sergeantS who have good records.
Returns to No. 1.
Lieut.. Hollinberger has been perform
ing duty in the fourth precinct since he
received his promotion many months ago
and has made a good record. During his
earlier days as member of the police
force he performed duty in the first pre-
cinct. and his return after so long pc
riod will be welcomed by some of the older
men who are still on duty there.
Lieut.. Sprinkle, who has been connected
with the second precinct since his pro-
motion, was also an active member Of the
first precinct under Capt. Amiss num-
her Of years. He has never done duty In
the fifth precinct. so the field will be new
to him. The transfers will become effec-
tive tomorrow morning. Lieut. Holm
berger was at the first precinct station
yesterday to confer with Capt. Williams.
Maj. Sylvester said yesterday that addi-
tional transfers will be announced later.
Some Of them will involve officers above
the grade of lieutenant. but just what they
are to be Maj. Sylvester Is not ready to
announce. 1t is said to be probable that
when the pension law Is in better form
there will be several retirements. which
will make room for promotions all along
the line
