MAY INTRODUCE BILL
FOR PURER POLITICS
DIR. James J. Heffernan Sug-
gested to Offer Police and
Firemen Measure

DR.. James J. H%effernan, member of
the Legislature from the F~orty-fourth
Ward, may Introduce in the * House
the bill which will be drafted by the
charter revision committee to take the
police and firemen out Of politics.
Two years ago Doctor Heffernsn in
troduced the police and fremen bill pre-
pared by the charter r~evisionlsts. 1t
passed the House, receiving 81 votes,
but fell because it was 22 votes short of
the 104 required for a constitutional ma
jority.
Suggestions are understood to have
been made to the charter revision COM
mittee to draft the proposed new bill IN
such a manner as to make material
changes in the present system or on
Quoting the police and fire departments
One of these suggestions is SAID 10
provide for a metropolitan police district
to be governed by a commission appoint
ed by the Governor.
This plan would take entire jurisdic-
ton over the police from the hands oil
the city authorities and place 1t in a
small State body. >,
A commission of five members Is said
to have been proposed as the governing
body for a metropolitan police system.
Governor Sproul in his address at the
charter revision conference dinnei
declared tina he favored the creation oil
a metropolitan district for philadelphia
which would afford city police and hre
protection to the scores of suburbs ad-
jacent to the city.

TWO SAILORS ACCUSED
OF JEWELRY THEFT
New Yorker Missed Na!uables
After Entertaining-Bond
Robbery Laid to Boy

Tow sailors and a boy were given
hearings today in connection with two
robberies. The sailors are charged with
the theft of more than $4,000 worth OF
jewels and the boy Is accused of stealing
a wallet from an automobile.
Christmas spirit led Arthur Conover,
wealthy Texas banker, stopping at the
Ritz-Carlton, to entertain several sailors
and a civilian. and the party almost
cost him $4,000 in jewelry.
Shortly after Conover woke up and
missed his valuable two sailors appeared
at Il jewelry store at 2i3 Market street
and offered a collection of diamonds,
necklaces, pins and bracelets for sale at
a low price. The jeweler called the
police. and Henry Melcher. Twenty
eighth street, below Dickinson. and
Stewart Dunn, of Brooklyn, were ar
rested. They said another man gave
them the jewelry to sell. They were
given a hearing today at the City Hall
and held in $4,000 bail each. The
jewelry was recovered.
A ffteen-year-old lad has been arrest
ed as the result of the theft of 5000
worth of bonds from the automobile o,
DR.. George +. Pfahler, son-in-law of Jus
tice Alexander Simpson, Jr., 1921 Spruc,
street.
After the theft was reported to thu
police a fake wallet was placed in tn
car in an attempt to trap the bon
thief. The boy under arrest, who CAV,
his name as William Wilson, was caugh
as he leaned into the automobile. II,
denied any knowledge of the bonds.

War Department Promises
Penn and Others ''Equit-
able Adjustment"
COST U. OF P. &c., 900
Announces That Many Soldier
Students Have Suffered
Because of Corps

Equitable financial adjustments will
be made by the war Department with
educational institutions wttyh have suf-
fered loss by reason of the %demobiliza-
tion of the student army training corps.
The announcement that such an ar
rangement had been reached was con-
tanned in a letter from Major Ralph Bar
ton Perry, secretary of the committee on
education of the general staff.
The War Department" Major Perry
said, rs fully aware of the force of
the argument in favor of continuance of
the students army training CORPS. The
rehabilitation will. I'm some cases. doubt
less result In inconvenience to the instI-
tuition. The committee on education has
however. been authorized to make eo,iit.
able financial adjustments. 1t il also
recognized that in many cases the in.
dividual students will suffer hardshjps
Not Promised Education

in mind that no man indicted into ths

purpose of receiving special additiona,

stood TO lose S62, 900.
This sun represents the proport,ona,
tuition of eco s. A. T. c. men at penn
who have announced that they will with,
draw from the University now that their
expenses are no longer paid by the Gov.
eminent.
Condemned Action
Doctor Smith condemned the Govern.
ment's action. THE contract with ths
University was to last nine months ;
he pointed out. IF Penn had broke
its contract It would have lost the an.
tire amount.
THE University may sustain n fur,be,
money loss through the failure of Wash
ington to record the enrolment of stu
dents of the medical, dental and veteri
nary schools.
These men were sworn in on tn,
campus said Doctor Smith, but Wash
! ington says 1t mas no record of their en-
rollment. other Pennsylvania college
have not had their enrolment paper
received at all, and do mo- know whethe
the Government will reimburse them TO
the work they have done and the none,

The provost said that the S. A, T. C
as worked out in 500 American colleges
had not been satisfactory to educators.
