NEW MEN WILL
FORM POLICE
/ TRIAL BOARD
District Officials Believe 0ras-
tic Change Will Best. Serve
Discipline Aims.
TO OMIT ONE CAPTAIN
Assistant Corporation Counsel
and 0deII Smith May Be
Two of Appolntees.

The Police Trial Board. composed
OF Capts. C. p. M. Lord and L. j.
Stoll of the Police Department. and
w. H. Wahly. assistant corporation
counsel. will resign before the end
Of the present year and be replaced
by three new appointees selected by
the District Commissioners. 1t was
learned yesterday at the District
building.
The present board has served for
more than two years and II ls
understood that District officials
believe change will be In the
interests of the service.
TO AVOID POLICE RULE.
Present plans call for a board
composed of a representative Of the
police department, a representative
of the corporation counsel's office,
and citizen of the District not
otherwise connected with the Dis.
trict government.
This change in the composition
Of the board has been declared
necessary to remove the feeling
that the board is being dominated
by the police department.
1t Is known that one high Dis.
trict official is firmly of the be-
lief that such a change would be
desirable. Another thinks that
the board is in reality a disciplinary
body and the present arrangement
