Newspaper Statement by Miss
HoISappIe Termed Vicious :
by Police Chief.
REFUSES TO GIVE UP BADGE
Offender Smiles at Order of
Boss, Who Threatens to Take
Dismissal Steps.

Following the issuing of a newspaper
statement denouncing the police de-
partment. by Miss Emily Holsapple,
policewoman. Police Chief Herman
Rikhoff today asked Miss Holsapple
to turn in her badge. He termed the
statement Vicious
Miss HOlsapple smiled but refused
to give up the badge. The chief said
he would take steps to have her dis
missed. Because she had been on
the force only since March s, 1922,
ard her appointment never has been
confirmed, as customary sfter a
ninety-day probation period, Rikhof
said he believed it would not be neces-
sary to file charges against her.
A conference was arranged between
oscar Queisser. secretary to the chief,
and William T. Bailey, assistant city
attorney.
Constant Trouble"
If it is found that Miss Holsapple
cannot be dismissed without the filing
of charges, the chief said he would
charge characterization and incompe-
tency. He declared the police woman
had been a constant source Of trouble.
Mrs. Hettie Brewer, colored, and
Mrs. Anna Buck. policewomen, were
called into conference by the chief to-
day. When they declared they had
never made statements against the
chief and said they had been treated
fairly, they were sent back to work
collecting vehicle and boarding house
licenses.
Following Chief Rikhoff's announce
ment last week that Miss Holsapple,
Mrs. Brewer and Mrs. Buck would be
put back to work in juvenile court,
Judge Lair of the court visited the
chief and also sent him a letter to
say that he refused to have the women
around the court.
Dr.. HOdgin Also Cold
DR.. E. Z. Hodgin. president of the
board of public health, also refused
TO use the three women in his depart
ment, although he said they might be
used in a division Of housing and SAM
tation, If it were attached TO Juvenile
Court. He said the health depart
ment had no funds with which to pay
for their services.
The trouble started at a board of
safety meeting Dec. 26. when Mayor
Shank charged that the women were
inefficient and asked that charges be
placed against them. He charged
that the city paid the bill while the
women worked for the county in
juvenile court. Since then they have
been shifted from department to de-
partment.
