CAPT. SCHNEIDER
FILES APPEAL WITH
! DISTRICT BOARD

The written appeal of Capt. Henry
Schneider, for twenty-six years q
member of the Washington police
force before his suspension by a trial
board on September 10, is today in
the hands of the District Commits
sioners, who will say whether he de-
serves a rehearing of charges against
him of conduct "unbecoming an Off
cer."
The appeal sets forth in detail the
charges brought by his superiors in
the Police Department concerning his
alleged ACTIVITY in trying to secure
an acquittal for Edward Ellison, a
junk dealer, indicted by the grand
jury for the theft OF articles from
freight cars in the Potomac yards. 1t
was filed late yesterday by Wilton ].
Lambert attorney for the suspended
police captain
Twenty-six Years on Force.
Captain Schneider has been a mem
Der of the Washington Police De
partment for twenty-six years." the
appeal says, "an since 1905 has
horne the distinction of a captain in
the department in charge OF a pre-
cinct.
"During all of the time he has
served the District as head of the
The Washington times., 1917-10-21

precinct has reputation and fidelity
to his duty as an officer, as evidenced
by the record in this cause, has been
of the highest degree Of efficiency"
The written appeal, notice OF which
Captain Schneider gave to the police
trial board Immediately after his sus-
pension last month, was virtually a
repetition of the blanket denials Of
the police officer to charges pre-
ferred against him.
Denies OnerinE Bribe.
The defendant captain admits talk
ing with Commonwealth Attorney
Frank Ball and Justice Cloth OF the
Alexandria circuit court about ELL
sons arrest He declares he asked
these officials IL Ellison's case could
not be settled out OF court, as the in
dIcted man was his neighbor and he
did not want to see an innocent man
suffer.
Emphatic denial is made OF any
mention OF reward to any officer in
connection with the case II the case
against Ellison should be nolle
prossed.
The appeal considers only two OF
the four specific charges brought
against the former precinct captain.
These relate to the arrest and trial Of
Ellison on charges Of stealing articles
from freight cars in the Potomac
yards. Categorically. Captain Schnei-
der enters q denial to each Of these
charges.
In conclusion the former captain of
police says that his suspension by
the trial board was a breach Of jus
tice. He asks that the verdict OF the
board be set aside.

steamers sunk by the Teutonfc COM
merce destroyer 30 miles off Pernam-
buco. The ships which fell victim
were said to have included the British
steamers Dramatist and Radnorshire,
the latter bound from Bahia to Havre
and London, and other French and al
lied merchantmen.
A subsequent message reported the
sinking of English and French mer'
chantmen off the Brazilian coast, in
Guiding the Voltaire."
London, Jan. Height British AND
two French merchant vessels are be-
lieved to have been sunk by German
raider.
The steamships st. Theodore and
Yarrowdale were captured. Their
whereabouts is unknown.
The ships sunk by the German raid
err are: British-Dramatist, Radnor'
shire. Minieh, Netherbyhall, Mount
Temple, King George, Georgia and Vol
taire. French-Nantes and Ashires.
