BUREAU UNCERTAIN
District Heads Expected to
Fix Limits to Its Au-
thority.

The scope of the activities which
shall concern the womens bureau
of the police department and the
authority under which the bureau
operates are the real questions in
volved in the present police dispute
charging Lieut.. Nina G. Van Wrinkle
with INSTRUMENTATION, according to
the District officials investigating
the matter.
Upon questioning yesterday. none
of the District officials were able to
show how the bureau came about or
under what act or order 1t existed
and operated. 1t is expected that
the District Commissioners will now
definitely authorize the bureau and
define its activities.
Until late yesterday no charges
had been preferred against Mrs.
Van Wrinkle, although information
had been filed setting forth alleged
failure to obey the orders Of supe-
rior officers. An investigation is
under way. and all parties con.
cerned were called into Maj. Sulli-
vans office yesterday to state their
side OF the case. In some instances
there were discrepancies in the evil.

JUST ABOUT OUR FATHER

None but those who have sat in the
shadow of a great bereavement can
justly weigh such sorrow as we are
passing. through. Those who have
gone down into the valley of suffering
and stood for months by the side of
loved one, as hope after hope drop
ped away as the petals fall from a
fading flower, know that sucn an
guish cannot find solace in the ten
derest words.
Friday morning December 6th at
9:20 our father aged 65 years, nine
months and sixteen days left us to
i take up his home above and to await
our coming to meet MIN and Satur-
day afternoon at $40 as we stood at
! his grave when the sky was trimmed
I with her gorgeous rosy hue, in fancy
we could see him--not in deaths cold
shroud of sorrow and despair, but
smiling upon US. Will we miss him,
did YOU ask? How can we forget;
Does the sun forget to keeps it's APP
pointed time, or the stars to shine an
their bright orbs? Nay, verify;
Neither does image stamped upon our
hearts by those we love perish or de-
cay.
The funeral services were held at
J the home zoos East Broadway, Satur-
) day afternoon at o'clock, Rev. c. f,
; Whitlock officiating and speaking
5 consoling words to the wife and sens

= memory Of our father, The caske'
a was covered with beautiful floral de
signs sent by loving friends and from
d the B. of L. F. and E. and the B. o.
t R. T., two sons belonging to thes
: orders. The music rendered was sucl
e as to soften all hearts and moisten al
i ewes. At the close of the services K
