HEADS IN
TESTS FOR CHIEF
Captains Take Physical and
Oral Tests-To Announce
Results Later.

Four civil service commissioners
were present today during the final
test of the police captains competing
for the position of chief of the de-
partment in this city. The examina-
ton today included the physical and
oral tests.
The physical tests were not severe,
the precinct commanders simply
being compelled to show that they
are in comparatively good health,
without qualifying as athletes. 1t
was explained by Commissioners
Alexander r. Fordyce, jr., in charge,
that the physical test was made very
simple, because of the advanced ages
of the captains.
Captain John e. Brown, of the
Second precinct, was the first candi-
date to take the physical test. He
gave his age and was measured as to
height, chest and waist. The heart
and blood were tested, and he then
went through q course of tests with
the Sargant apparatus, conceded to
be the best in the world for gauging
the strength of a person.
When Captain Brown completed
the test he appeared quite fresh. He
had considerable amusement with
his colleagues, however, when he re-
turned to the room in which they
were waiting to be called, and
graphically described the torture
which awaited them. The captain
used his imagination considerably,
and finally exhausted even the
credulence of Captain William Car
roll, of the detective bureau. The
latter became suspicious when in
formed that he would have to hurdle
several chairs placed together and
juggle seventy-fiye-pound weight.
Captain Samuel Brown was the
next to be put through the perform
ance and he had no difficulty in
executing the stunts. He was fol-
lowed in order by Acting Chief Mich
ael j. Ryan, Captain Michael 7.
Long and Captain Carroll.
The oral test was the most severe
of the civil service examination. A
number of hypothetical questions
were hurled at the precinct COM
manders from different angles, and
it was in this department where sew
eral of the candidates lost points.
The commissioners were not able to
say when the results of the Gamma
ton would be made public.
The twenty-one police lieutenants
who took the examination to fill the
captaincy which will be vacated by
the next chief, completed their writ
ten, oral and physical tests yester-
day. Some of the candidates were
detained until late in the afternoon
before they could grapple with the
problems placed before them. The
police captains spent the entire. day
Nf'n heir written test.
There are two captains who did
not enter the examination. They are
Captain Vogel, of the Fourth pre-
cinct, and Captain Peter j. Christie,
of the Third nrecinct

REDUCED CAR FARE ASKED.
Virginia Highlands' Citizens Want
Cheaper Rates to City.

The Virginia Highlands Citizens AS
ISOLATION has commenced action through
the Interstate Commerce Commission for
reduction of carfares to the suburb
across the Potomac.
The grounds taken is that the distance
from Virginia Highlands to the City
Postoffice while less than three miles,
the carfare is 10 cents round trip, and
10 cents single fare. This is more than
2 cents per mile, which is the maximum
charge allowed for railways. Upon COM
parison of fares it has been shown that
Washington and Virginia electric rail-
roads give a Communication rate Of ap-
proximately four cents per trip from
Alexandria to Virginia Highlands, which
is nearly twice the distance from WASH
ington to Virginia Highlands
The case is to be started at once. and
the citizens association feels confident
of gaining their point and establishing
a Accent Communication rate from Wash
ington to Virginia Highlands. which is
the fare for the same
within the District line.
