CtIQUE'S
TARCE
Commissioner Oyster to Probe
Conditions in Detective
Bureau.

Major Daniel Sullivan, superin-
tendent of police, is the target Of
the clique or cliques said to exist
in the detective bureau Of the
police department.
These cliques have another
police official slated for Major
Sullivan's post and all Of their
activities have been conferred to-
ward that end.
Oyster Ready to Act.
Such is the information said to
be in the hands Of Commissioners
James F. Oyster, who supervises
the police department.
II know of nothing definite about
a clique in the detective bureau,
except that / believe one exists"
Commissioner Oyster declared to-
day. There seems to be lack Of
harmony in the bureau. If there
is, want to know about It, and
I will. intend to see harmony
in that bureau. If any man or men
stand in the way he or they must
get out:
1.-THE men must support Major
Sullivan He is the best police
chief Washington has had in many
years"
Commissioner Oyster said he did
not know what was going on down
in the detective bureau, but he in
tended to find out He has con-
ferred with a number of police Off
Gals and today will talk with many
more of them
May Be Changes Later.
Rumors of a shake-up in a few
days in the detective bureau are
without foundation, Commissioner
Oyster said.
IT contemplate no changes at this
time" he said. There may be
some later. What ] am interested
in is getting harmony in the police
department I think we have one
of the best police forces in the
country, but the men must work
together"
The Commissioner said he had
heard lots Of rumors about the de-
tectiVe bureau coming from the in
side and the outside. He also is said
to be in possession of information
which indicates the existence OF
clique.
Commissioner Oyster said that in
his talks with police officials he has
yet been unable to obtain any def
mite information regarding the ope-
rations Of any clique or cliques.
Praises Major Sullivan.
There is entirely too much talk
going around about the detective
bureau and it must be stopped, "the
Commissioner said, ut seems as IL
there Is a movement to get Major
Sullivan. I want to find out who's
behind it and what it's all about"
The Commissioner said he intend
ed to make a very thorough invest
igation and then act according to
his information.
IT cannot speak too highly of
Major Sullivan" said Commissioner
Oyster, HE has made a good chief.
He Is honest, efficient and knows
police work. 1 think Washington is
fortunate in having a man of Major
Sullivan's type at the head of it's
police department"

SOLDIER HAD NO. CASH,
so BANDITS SHOT HIM

Angered because he had no money
when they searched him last night,
two hold-up men shot and wounded
Sergt. Frederick Durey, twenty
eight years old, Of the United States
Army School. after he had stored
an automobile in Union court. He
was about to leave the garage when
he was confronted by the two BAN
dts. One bandit held a pistol to
his heart while the other turned
his pockets inside out.
After the hold-up man had
searched him, the sergeant lowered
his hands. When some distance
away, one of the bandits turned
suddenly and fired, the bullet strik-
ing the soldier in the arm. An
artery was severed, and it was nee
essary for Durey to place an impro-
vised tourniquet, made with his
handkerchief and q stick, above the
wound.
Police are searching for two sus-
poets.

The recent snow caused the men,
bers to bring up the subject of
quail feeding" at last nights
meeting. For many years it has
been the custom of the society to
cooperate with the Police Depart
ment in the feeding of quail in the
District while snow Is on the
ground and they are unable to
scratch for themselves.
'While many residents do not
realize It," DR.. Palmer reminded
the members, ION the taking OF
our last census of the quail in the
city about two years ago we found
at least 1900 here and we have
every reason to believe that this
number has increased since that
time" Quail here would starve
during the snow periods and grad

Two important objects are striven
for by every member Of the society.
They are:

To accomplish these objects it is
the custom Of the Audubon to fol-
low up its annual meeting with a
series of classes for school children
and others in which lectures are
given on birds which frequent the
District of Columbia, Virginia and
Maryland. These are held in March.
Later, when the birds begin to raj.
CRATE, a series of outings are con.
Quoted on which the members end

life go on expeditions where bird
life is plentiful about the District
Evening Grosbeak Found.
1t was on one of these outings
last spring that members of the
society discovered the Evenine
Grosbeak in the District for the
first time. Appearance of the
pretty song bird, which resembles
a cardinal, so close to home, created

For five years our little daughter
has been afflicted with battling
throat trouble. Its inception seemed
to be rooted in the removal of her
tonsils, for an aggravated and dis
eased condition dated from the OPP
Grafton which would not respond to
either home treatment or expert
medical skill.
Everything humanity possible was
done. But it became obvious to us
at least that chronic bacterial infec-
ton had fastened on the childs
throat. 1t was always red and in
famed and frequently coated with
white danger patches. This contin-
uous inflammation produced a raggy
throat clearing habit Objectionable

was steadily growing worse.

thing else q solution of Zonite was
