NEW TRIAL
IN POLICE
TILT ASKED
Mrs. Van Wrinkle Appeals From
Rebuke Contained In
Verdict.

An appeal from the findings oj
the police trial board. which found
her not guilty of charges. but ad.
ministered singing rebuke be.
cause she "does not comprehend
the cardinal principle of disci.
pline," was asked of the District
Commissioners today by Mrs
Nina @. Van Wrinkle through her
counsel. Roger Whiteford.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle. a lieutenant
of police, Is in charge of the
House of Detention of the Police
Department and has supervision
over women and children prison
ers.
Asks Case Be Reopened.
Request for a reopening of the
case and an oral hearing before the
District Commissioners is asked.
The findings of the board involve
the future of the House of Detention
and the Women's Bureau, both in
their relation to the Police Depart
ment. the Commissioners of the Dis.
trict of Columbia, and the public" /"
the appeal says.
The alleged finding of the trial
board as TO the proper conception of
discipline which must prevail in the
Police Department is a wholly gratui-
tous state on the part of the board,
unwarranted In law. not justified in
fact. inconsistent with the verdict
OF not guilty" the appeal says.
Mr.. Whiteford sets up in his
letter TO the Commissioners that
-the Importance OF the work being
done by Lieut. Van Wrinkle re-
quired that the Commissioners have
all the information upon this sub
Ject that IL is possible for them to
obtain.
Excepts 10 Finding.
He further points out that the
finding, as to matters OF discipline,
is contrary to the testimony of the
major and superintendent of the
Police Department, as given before
the board" and that the finding
Of the board with reference to com.
pliance with the order of a superior
ts contrary to the established prac-
tices of the Police Department and
TO the principles of srsfilstaYye law"
Mrs Van Winkle will contend that
the findings of the police trial board
should be modified as to make IL
read a straight verdict of mot
guilty"
The Commissioners, under he law,
may modify the findings so as to
strike out the notation carrying the
rebuke of the woman police officer,
but the Commissioners are not en-
powered to increase the penalty.

OYSTER TO SEEK.

BRAVE OFFICERS
Commissioner May Give Of
ficiaI Recognition to Times
Medal Scheme.

Official recognition OF the practice
of The Washington Times in annual
ly presenting a gold medal to the
bravest fireman and policeman is
about 10 be shown by Commissioner
James r. Oyster, who has super
vision over the two departments.
The Commissioner today was
making a preliminary study OF a
plan by which some form of recogni.
ton may be given members of the
police and fire departments who are
credited with deeds demonstrating
loyalty, bravery or general eff
cheney.
Major Daniel Sullivan, the inspec-
tor, and probably the captains will
be asked to give their views.
81 have in mind at this time
several men in different precincts
who are doing good work." said the
Commissioner to-day. "In fact, one
or two OF them are making such good
records that ] am at loss 10 know
just how to reward them.
"It is plain TO me that we should
have some sort of plan by which
these officers could earn the right
to wear a medal or insignia indicat-
ing that they have done good work
or displayed meritorious conduct
under trying circumstances"
At the present time policemen and
firemen in uniform are not permitted
to wear insignia OF any kind other
than that indicating their rank and
service stripes.
II is probable that the regulations
will be amended so as TO permit the
wearing of such emblem as the
Commissioners may agree on under
Commissioner Oysters proposed plan.
