THINKS |PPOUTO PAY
SHOULD Be CONTINUED
DR.. L. D. Walter Calls Attention of
District Commissioners to
Passages in Law.

That the Commissioners have author
ity to continue the salary of Crossing
Policeman Frank T. Ippolito. who was
seriously injured at eth and F streets
several weeks ago by an automo-
bile, during the time he is off duty
recovering from his injuries. is the be-
lief of DR.. L. D. Walter. chairman of the
committee on police and fire depart
ments of the Northeast Washington
Citizens Association.
DIR. Walter has taken considerable
interest in the policeman's case and his
attention was called to the action of
the authorities in cutting off his salary.
AS chairman of the committee of his as
ISOLATION. he has started a movement
in the direction of getting it restored.
Letter to Commissioners.
The Commissioners received from him
today a communication in which he
stated:
LAS chairman of the committee on
police and fire departments of the
Northeast Washington Citizens Asso-
citation. l desire to call your attention
to the case Of Crossing Policeman
Frank Ippolito. who was seriously in
human life and by vehicle of the Dis
trict of Columbia. i desire to call your
attention to the fact that the officers
salary has been discontinued. which &C
ton. you no doubt believe. is hardly
a fitting reward for a deed such as
1ppolito performed.
I"4s it not possible, under the law. to
continue his salary until such time as
he may become able to return to duty?
His wife and children are dependent
upon his salary, and without it Sc
we're hardship will be worked. 1 would
like to call attention to the report of
the committee on the District of CO.
lumbia on House bill 1918, August ?,
1911, which bill became law Febru-
airy IL, 1912.
Should Accept Intent of Congress.
Part of the report stated: The OBJ
Ject of this bill is to place the crossing
policemen upon the same footing as the
metropolitan policemen as to compen-
sation. sick leave and vacation 1t
seems to me that the intent Of Con-
gress should be considered in the in
depreciation of the law. and that intent
is clearly shown in the committees re-
port.
Section IS of the police manual,
which governs policemen of the regular
and crossing forces, provides: No men,
Der of the force shall be allowed sick
leave for more than thirty days in any
one calendar year, except when the
same is in consequence of injury re-
ceived or a malignant disease contract
ed in the line of duty, 1. e.
I'm consideration of the foregoing it
appears that your honorable body has
full authority to continue the pay of
this brave officer. and the suspension
of his pay. 1 maintain, was not in ac-
cordance with the expressed wish of
Congress. I feel that your action in
suspending the salary of this brave Of
ficer was the result of an inadvertence.
and sincerely hope you will see your
way clear to restore it.
Enclosed you will find copies of the
amendments to existing law, which. in
my humble opinion. will make it plain
that you have the legal right to partly
compensate this officer for the suffer
ings and hardships he endured as
result of his strict attention to duty"

CONFIDENCE URGED
UPON GRADUATES
Representative Moore Makes
Address at Wilson Normal
School Commencement.

The graduating class of the Wilson
Normal School was urged to have self
confidence by Representative J. Hamp-
ton Moore of Pennsylvania, who deliv-
cred the principal address at the COM
mencement exercises at the school yes
terday afternoon. At the same time he
warned them against overconfidence,
telling them never to underestimate
their adversaries.
He touched momentarily on the Mex
lean situation, saying: You young
women who are to teach are to serve
the country even as are the young men
who are preparing to go to the front,
for you are to teach the future citizens
of this republic"
I'VE need confidence in ourselves"
said Mr.. Moore. I'VE need confidence
that we are right, that we are sure of
our ground. that in certain emergen-
cies we can say no; confidence that we
can live on what we earn, and conf
dence that we can save little as a re-
serve"
