Pollock when he takes the stand, and
that he will have his wife to corobor-
ate him in a statement that she was
aware of the engagement at the hotel
some time before its occurrence.
AT the conclusion Of Mr.. Disney's
statement the prosecution rested its
case, and the defense Immediately call
ed its witnesses.
There were a large number of
policemen. OF the two hundred and
three on the force, the defense had
probably called third. Many of them
could not respond because they had
been called to duty, Those who testi-
fed spoke In the highest terms of
Captain Pollock. declaring that they
had never seen him in an intoxicated
condition, either in his Office or else
where. His efficiency and his cheer
full nature had always attracted them
toward him. They had never known
him to act discourteously toward any
one.
The testimony of Captain Wright.
who stated that on several occasions
Captain Pollock had appeared to be
under the influence of liquor in his Of
point of sbruptness and discourtesy,"
Several of the witnesses were led to
intimate that Sergeant Jordan was at
the bottom OF much of the mischief
that had been created, because, as
they said, he had suspected Captain
Pollock with having had something to
do with his transfer from headQuar
tiers back to the desk at Second sta
ton.
Policeman F. c. Williams stated tina t
he was impressed with an incident in
Captain Pollock's Office on the &C.
casion when the detectives were given
badges, in which Captain Wright ap-
pared to be more discourteous than
Captain Pollock. The FORMER wanted
the numbers changed, and when Cap
tain Pollock had declined TO make the
change, the captain of detectives grew
indignant and some sharp words
passed.
In addition to the policemen. other
character witnesses were: L. z. Nor
ris. president Of the Police Benevolent
association; Captain A. 3. Guigon,
counsel for the Virginia Railway and
Power company; a, MICA. Parker, mail

ing paper; f. N Andrews. custodian
at police headquarters; Sergeant w.
A. Toler, Bertillion superintendent at
headquarters; Sergeant Samuels, traf-
nc officer at headquarters; a number
of district sergeants and patrolmen.
The defense stated that six add
ttonal witnesses would be called this
afternoon and that the evidence would
then be IN, and That possibly the case
might go to the mayor tonight.

Tense are: II. T. Ezekiel, Carlton Nc

STATE BUREAU HELPS
IN FINDING TEACHERS
Supervisor f.. T.. Worreli Is Assisting
Local Committees In Locating
Sufficient Instructors.

In order to assist local school au-
thorities in finding teachers for the
public schools next session the depart
. nent OF education has esta blished a
teachers bureau which is in charge
of Supervisor Z. Z. Worrell. The pur
pose of this bureau is to secure apph-
cations from as many teachers as pos
sible and to receive reports on yacan-
cies In the public schools. The bu-
reau then attempts to put the appli-
cant into immediate touch with de-
siraele position.
This work is done absolutely free
Of charge to teachers and local school
officials 1t is an investment the de-
partment OF education felt 1t wise and
necessary TO make in order to assist
the schools In the abnormal conditions
which they now face. Very crafty.
ing results have already been accom-
plished A large number of teach
ers have enrolled in the bureau and
a considerable number OF vacant
schools have already been filled. For
the first time it now happens that the
number of applicants enrolled In the
bureau exceeds the number OF vacan-
cies reported. 1t Is the desire of the
supervisor In charge to place teach
ers in positions which they can handle
to the best possible advantage of the
pupils
A number of counties have not yet
secured their full quota of teachers
and in many instances, of course, these
positions cannot be filled until the
summer schools have closed. 1t is
of the highest importance, however.
for all available qualified applicants
TO be placed at once and the teach
ers' bureau is offering its service for
this purpose.
The bureau. of course, is not at
this time undertaking to place any
I teachers except those who are rea-
sonably well qualified and hold state
certificates to teach school. While
few persons may have to be en-
ployed next session as teachers on To-
cal permits the policy OF the depart
ment will be to assist in placing all
regularly licensed teachers before To-
cal permits are used.
