EXPECT ROBINSON
mold JOB SOON
Early Release From Army
FOreshadows Return to
Police Bureau
NOW ON TEN.DAY LEAVE
Question Of Restoration to
Full Powers Lies With
Director Wilson

Captain James b. Robinson, United
States army. is on ten-day leave from
his military duties, a preliminary, 1t 10
said, to his release from service and his
return as Superintendent OF Police.
Robinson for months past was the
officer in. charge at Delaware River
pier No. IS, at the foot Of Snyder ave-
nue.. the expeditionary depot whence
millions Of dollars of supplies flowed to
the army overseas.
With the last week, he was trans
ferred from that post to the admins
traitors division. general supply depot,
Twenty-first street and oregon avenue.
His ten-day leave, beginning last Tues
day expires Friday, December 13.
There appears TO be indisputable au-
thority for a rumor that before next
Friday. an order will issue from Wash
ington relieving Captain Robinson from
active military seyice.
on his return to civil life. his resump-
tion of the Office of Superintendent of
Eolice will be automatic. Whether he
will displace Acting Superintendent
Mills as the defacto head Of this city's
police or return to limited authority Is
up to Director of Public Safety Wilson.
II is believed Lieutenant Colonel Charles
Hatch will have some voice in the mat
ter also.
shorn Of Power by Hatch
Robinson was shorn of most of the
power of the superintendency when
Colonel Hatch came here as the law-en-
forcing officer for the Navy Department
charged with protecting thousands OF
sailors here from fourishing vice con-
ditions.
Colonel Hatch's dissatisfa cton Will
local police management led to the ele.
walton of Captain William b. Mills to
the rank of Assistant Superintendent OF
Police and appointment as actiEg super.
intendent with the virtual control of po-
lice matters. Robinson, although re-
tanning the title Of superintendent. wa,
relegated to supervision over the police
payroll, uniforms, the van stables ant
other routine affairs.
The superintendent in name then OBJ.
tained commission as captain in the
army and drew from the city the diff.
ference between his captains pay ant
the $4,000 salary of superintendent.
To Retain Limited Authority
As a state of war still exists ant
will continue until the peace proclama'
ton is signed Colonel Hatch will re.
main here and keep watchful eyes or
bookkeeping and other forms Of lawless
ness that prey on service men. On Rob
inson's return to City Hall, therefore, Il
is regarded as certain that he will exer.
else only limited authority until he quail
fies for a pension on the completion o.
twenty years service, which will occur
within a year.
