JACK WHITEFORO
QUITS The FORCE
Had Been Virtually Head
Of Department for Sew
eral Weeks.

During the meeting of the board Of
city commissioners yesterday Sergeant
Jack Whiteford of the police depart
mcnt handed in his resignation, which
was reluctantly accepted. Mr.
Vhiteford explained tnat his ONLY
reason for taking such action was the
fact that he had been offered and
accepted better position.
Whitcford for several weeks had
virtually been the head of the police
department and the manner in which
he performed his duties called for
nothing but praise from his superiors.
Whitetord came To Tulsa several years
ago after graduating from the niyer-
sity of Nebraska. He secured a posi-
ton with the police department as a
patrol driver. but before long it be-
came apparent that he would 90 up
rapidly as he displayed remarkable
aptness for police work.
Although his title has been that Of
DAY desk sergeant. Whiteiord had at.
tended To all the duties of the chief
with remarkable success. He is among
the really popular men who have been
employed by the city.

POLICE MILITARY CAMP
WILL OPEN ON NAY q
Three Thousand Men to Take
Courses at Fort WadsWorth.

The Police Department camp at Fort
Wadsworth, Staten Island, will be
opened on May 81. Three thousand
members Of the department have vol
unteered TO take up the practical mill
tary training after hearing lectures
on the subject all winter. Three hun
dred men will attend each camp. which
will last two weeks. The work
will be under the direction Of Police
Department officers of rank, super
viSed by army officers.
Time spent at the camp will not be
taken from the policemen's vacations.
As each squad leaves for the camp
Commissioner Woods will send men
from the training school to fill out
each precincts forces. The two
weeks camping will cost Sl2.
Those who take the training will live
the life Of regular. They will turn
out at 5:45 each morning and turn in
at 1880 p. m. The days schedule in
cludes motorcycle and bicycle military
instruction. motor vehicle identification,
machine gun instruction. post graduate
course in signalling and boxing and

return tents and equipment
"While the work will be held 10
schedule" the Commissioner said yes
terday. there will be time for recrea-
ton. bathing beach fronts the camp

camp will close September %.

of the bill. and not until the country
becomes involved in another war will
the value Of these provisions be fully
appreciated.
"The volunteer army was not includ-
ed in the conferrees' bill. The vote Of
the House on this feature was So de-
cisively against it that the conferrees.
while differing as to the desirability
of the force, decided not TO include the
provision in the bill. In its place was
written a provision for the training
corps. which is broader than that here
tofore proposed, either in the Hous,
or the Senate, and which will provide
for the training of such persons as for
any reason do not join the national
guard 1t provides that all expense in
connection with such camps shall be
borne by the Federal government.
There is practically no change in
the national guard feature of either
the House or the Senate bill. The ma
tional guard will have greater induce
ments to improve and progress than
was hoped for before this year, and it
will be on trial during the next few
years 10 prove that the claims made by
its representatives were correct, and
that il was only held back from becom-
ing a real asset in our national de-
fence by forces over which it had no
control.
These obstacles, it is hoped. have
been removed in the new bill. and time
alone can tell whether or not the ma
tional guard will take its place as an
important factor in the army. The
maximum force OF the national guard
under the new bill is about 1900 off 70
GERS and 100000 enlisted men"

Hardwick. while il does not make the
bill what I would like. Is a compromise
which I will accept. ! cannot speak
or other Democratic Senators who de-
clined 10 support the measure last
year.
"The idea can be supported now as
n Temporary solution Of difficult
problem. ! am in hearty accord with
the shipping board provision OF me
measure. n provides just the form
OF regulation Of common carriers on
the water which the Interstate Com
merce Commission does on land, and /
think it highly desirable.
Gin this connection. | think II Is
vital that the same sort OF regulation
should be applied TO ships under Tor
e;gn hags which will be competing
with our ships. This could be pro
vded by denying admission 70 our
ports to foreign vessels when wouIc
not place themselves under control OF
our shipping board"
Democrats Win Day.
Many speeches we're made on the
bill to-day, Republicans generally De
ing against the measure and Demo
Gratis for il. The Republicans charged
the Democrats with putting through
a gag rule, while the Democrats de-
Tended the rule as necessary TO eTpe-
dite a measure of greatest Importance
TO the country. The rule was adopted
by vote OF 1911 TO 14l, after an hours
discussion.
Mr.. Kitchin. who had not been
counted on to champion the bill. spoke
vigorously for it and told the Demo

eminent out Of the shipping business
five years after the end Of the war IN
Europe. This amendment has removed
the objections Of Democratic Floor
Leader Kitchin and OF other Demo-
cratic conservatives. On the other
hand, II has alienated some OF the
more radical Of the Progressive Re-
publicans. who might have been count
cd on 10 vote for the bill because OF
their love for government ownership
The compromise amendment has
smoothed the path Of the bill both IN
the House and in the Senae. The
Administration is much stronger in
the Senate this session than last. not
only because Of the increase in tho
Democratic majority by the election
Of Democratic Senators in California,
Wisconsin and South Dakota, but be
cause one Of the seven "boters" Of
last year. Senator Camden. has been
replaced by an Administration Senator.
Hardwick to Support Bill.
Not all of last years boilers will be
against the measure. Senator Hard
wick, of Georgia, one of the strongest
opponents of government ownership in
the Senate. told The Tribune to-day
that he would support the bill intro
duced in the House, if certain changes
are made in the shipping board feat
ure.

fcers detached from their commands,
either for staff duty. militia duty, col
lege or other duty, will be replaced and
the organizations will in the future
have the full complement of officers.
"The staff corps and departments
have been amply increased to meet the
needs of the new army and TO deal with
the broader subjects of preparedness
such as will have TO be solved in the
supply departments.
"The maximum strength of the regu-
lar army in time Of peace will be about
1000 officers and $4,000 men. in ad-
dtion TO the enlisted men Of the signal
corps, quartermaster corps, medical de
partment, Philippine Scouts and unas-
signed recruits, d total of about II 900
officers and 100000 men.

Washington. May 16. To meet
Japan's objections TO having the So
called gentlemen's agreement for re-
striction of immigration enacted into

the Senate hmm grafton Committee to-
