President Harding intervened yes
terday to save the job of George l..
williams, fifty-seven-year-o hero
of mail robbery at Jefferson City,
Mo-, in 1921, where he is a laborer
in the post Office.
williams was injured by the rob-
bers, whom he later helped to con-
vict, and was left jobless by a change

The letter follows:
"On behalf of the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia, and also for
myself personally, want to take this
opportunity to congratulate and
thank the police department indi-
vidually and as a whole for the Splen-
did work being performed at present.

to us to know that the men and Off
GERS are conducting themselves in a
manner to bring credit and praise to
the department.
Detail Work ExactinE.
II realize the great amount of de-
tail work that is eXacted from every
man on the force and know that it
seems like overburdening you to ask
additional duties. but with the COM
ing Shrine convention l am going to
request you men and your officers for
pride's sake and as d duty to your
city to make even greater efforts for
the enforcement of law and order.
which you have sworn to uphold.
With the great influx of people from
all parts of the country into our city.
and remember it is their city as well
as ours. the task is going to assume
gigantic proportions, and il will be
necessary for every man to put his
shoulder to the wheel and strive his
utmost. Remember that the eyes of
the nation are upon Washington, and
particularly upon the police depart
ment as the guardians of life and
property. This in itself should be
sufficient incentive. and l need say no
more because | feel sure that the
members of Washington's police de-
partment will continue to show that
splendid zeal and tireleSS co-opera-
tion that has always marked their
work.
"In closing. let me assure you that
the Commissioners are behind each
individual man in the department and
are ready to back him up in his just
prosecution of the law"

the stranger. "One would be
plenty big enough, but there's
two different classes of Presby-

had to have two churches"
