INSIDE POSTS,
OYSTER SAYS
Would Relieve Faithful Veterans
of Patrol Duty as Better
Check on Crime.

The first step in the reorganiza-
ton of the Washington poice force
Will be taken soon by Commissioner
James F. Oyster. This was indicated
today when the Commissioner sum.
moned Inspector Daniel Sullivan t.
his office and inquired about the
work of the uniformed men.
INSIDE JOB FOR VETERANS.
Commissioner Oyster indicated that
yonng men will not be given inside
jobs hereafter, that such jobs will be
the reward of the faithful employees
long in service.
~ believe that older and more cS-
perienced men should be placed In
these posts" Commissioner Oyster
said. land that the younger members
of the force should be assigned 10
street duty"
II is understood the Commissioner
believes that the more experienced
men In the station houses would be
an asset to the welfare of the depart
ment, as they could use their tudg-
ment in matters that come UP when
the captains are out In the precinct
On several occasions recently, II is
said, complaints have been made OF
lack OF knowledge on the part OF
the men detailed in the station houses
when citizens Shave gone there for
information or to make charges. In
everything but the most trivial mat
ters. ii is said, the complainants were
met with the suggestion that they
either go to headquarter or wait un-
til the captain came in from his tour
OF inspection.
BEATS FOR YOUNG MEN.
Commissioner Oyster also believes
the younger men OF the force should
do their part on the beats, and leave
the stationhouse jobs to the men who
are patroling only with difficulty. In
some OF the precincts, IL IL said, some
of the oldest men in point of years
and service are doing duty on \ beat.
and IL a criminal had the inclination.
he could out distance these policemen
in less than a block
This incident has not come up re-
Gently, IL is said. but the Commission
er is fearful that IL may happen, ard
he wants to guard against il.
Up to about five years ago only
the older men were detailed at the
station houses. Recently, IL was
thought desirable to detail men at
the station houses who had clerical
experience before they entered the
department. While this has worked
out very well in some cases, IL Is
believed the appearance of an able
bodied policeman patrolling beat
would have better effect than
some old man shuffling along.

EDITH DAY NAMED
ASLOVE PIRATE"
Star of ''Irene" Stole Come.
dian, London Divorce
Suit Reveals.

LONDON. May Sin the climax OF
the most sensational stage divorce
case in many years. involving ele-
ments OF English high society. Miss
Edith Day, the American star of
Irene" was named, to the astonish-
ment of all London, as the "other wo-
man" alleged to have come between
Margaret Bannerman, the well-known
Canadian actress. and her husband.
Pat Somerset, who in private life is
named Holmes Sumner, the son of a
captain of the royal navy.
Miss Days name was brought into
the case by a maid who testified that
she had recently been in the employ
OF Miss Day in her home at Torquay,
the English coast resort.
Somerset and Miss Day are living
together in the Summer home of Miss
Day, according to the maid. The
witness said she was discharged by
the American actress when she was
called to London to testify in the
trial. Miss Day informing her that
she could not do without a maid that
long.
As result of the testimony
against Somerset or Holme- Summer,
which was not contested, although
the charges were denied. Miss Ban
herman was awarded a decree of
divorce. She is the daughter of
Ambrose Smith of Winnipeg and has
become a person of considerable pro-
fessional distinction in the theater
world of England.
Miss Days professional and personal
success in London was little short of
phenomenal. She came here with a
fine professional reputation achieved
in Irene" on Broadway, New York.
But II was her personality that
made her the toast of the most fash
ionable set in London and disturber of
the hearts of some OF the most desir-
able eligible" young men in May
fair.
Their dismay at learning that Miss
Day was in reality the wife of an
American theatrical producer was
touching to intimate observers OF af-
fairs in Society, for II had not been
publicly known that she was married.
. Suddenly last winter, at the very
pinnacle of her popularity, Miss Day
disappeared from the cast of Irene"
She needed a rest, 1t war said. After
a while she reappeared for few per-
formancs, then, just as suddenly, dis.
appeared again. Somo discussion of
alleged disagreements between the
actress and her husband got into
print. but II had not hitherto been ex-
pected that she would be mentioned In
the Somerset suit.
Miss Bannerman testified that her
husband forced her to pawn her
jewelry to meet checks overdrawr
on his bank accounts during gambling
ventures. She also accused him OF
cruelty.

U.S.MAY TAKE SEAT
At ALLIED COUNCIL

From the manner in with things
are shaping up abroad, II appeared
entirely probable today that the Unit
ed States will accept the invitation
extended by the allies to be represent
ed at the next meeting of the Inter
allied Supreme Council and other meet
ing OF the allied statesmen in which
matters affecting German reparations
are to be considered.
There has been no definite decis-
ion on this point yet, and probably
there will not be until after the Cabi-
net meeting tomorrow, when the text
of the invitation will have been re-
ceived. The invitation is now en-
route, according to advices reaching
the State Department today.
The sentiment in high Official circles
today, however, appeared distinctly
favorable to American representa-
tion.
