. D. c. DEPARTMENTS
Legislators Hope They Will
Be Able to Aid Police
and Firemen.

There is to be no investigation of
the police and fire departments of the
District by the House at this time.
This was made plain today in state
ments by House Leader Mondell and
Chairman Focht of the House Dis
trict committee.
They emphasize that instead of a
critical spirit toward the local in
stitutions. the attitude of the House
now is one Of the utmost co-opera-
tion to assist the local authorities
IN making improvements.
The attitude and intent of the
House District committee in adopt
ing the motion by Representative
OBrien of New Jersey was not to try
TO expose any supposed shortcomings
or ineff1ciency in the police and FIRE
departments, but to find out what
ney need" said Chairman Focht. "Ou.
intention is to work with the Dis
necessary facilities are provided for
the police and fire departments to
Duild up an adequate and efficient
force: We realize that in many ways
they have been handicapped We have

mined effort to show up" something
in the police and fire departments
Chairman Focht and House Leader
Mondei have now made it clear tina,
the House committee is not after
any one nor out to get" any one
as has been intimated. The Distric;
Commissioners will be asked what
they need from Congress to develop
an adequate and efficient police or

Will be in the way at an "inyestiga.

iution for an investigation of the DO

ings before the House rules commit

nearing has not been granted.
Poor Time for Inquiry.
Representative Mondell explained
today that with the approaching CON
ference on limitation of armaments
when the District police will be
called upon for extraordinary efforts
IN protection of visiting notables. it is
no time to weaken the morale of the
department by exposing 1t to criticism
and investigation. The impending
railroad strike is also cited by Mr
Mondell as another reason why an in.
vestigation would be ill-timed now
He expressed confidence that the Dis.
trict officials can work out any re.
forms that may be found advisable,
Il somewhat doubt the advisability
just at this time, Of beginning the
Investigation said Mr.. Mondell
I'VE are confronted with the posi-.
bility Of a serious railroad strike in
the near future, and then the facl
that Armistice day Is approaching
and following that the conference on

this an inopportune time DOM

of the Rockefeller family
interested in the s37.0O0.0o0 trust
funds created by the will of the late
James Stillman yesterday opposed
efforts to draw them and all other
potential beneficiaries into the
Stillran. banker, against the former
Fiji Potter and Baby Guy Stillman.
Through counsel, they argued
against a motion which would have
all potential beneficiaries show cause
why they should not be made CO.
with Mrs. Stillman and
two-year-old Guy. whose paternity
was made by John E. Mack. guardian
for Guy. who told Supreme Court
Justice Morschauser that his purpose
was to settle in the one divorce action
both the paternity of the child and
his right to share in the fortune left
by the elder Stillman.
Denial of Interest.
Almet F. jerks. counsel for Mrs
Percy A. Rockefeller and Mrs.
William Rockefeller, sisters of James
A. Stillman, contended this would
bring into the case a large number
of persons with no interest whatever
in the litigation. save that under the
will Of the elder Stillman they were
entitled to- share at some time in the
trust funds.
He declared the court without
to grant the motion, mas
much as the original divorce action,
charging Mrs. Stillman with infidelity
and branding the child illegitimate,
was statutory.
IF they want jury. we are satis-
fed" exclaimed Mr.. Mack. After
all, the whip hand does not apply to
a court of equity"
Mr.. jerks asked Judge Morschauser
to use his head. not his heart.
Mr.. Mack suggested that both be
employed. He charged that the New
York bankers sole object in bring
ing the suit was to have Guy judged
illegitimate.
Rights Of Child.
"If this child is found to be legiti-
mate" he added. for Gods sake
don't bring back this stain. This
Through me he says in effect to
this court: The family of my father
is against me in my efforts to pro-
tect my good name, and that Is all
am trying to do. / believe l can pro-
tect my good name if the matter is
finally adjudicated at this time, but
If it Is not finally settled now, years
later the witnesses by which l can
now establish the legitimacy of my
birth may have died or become in
