HEARING
URGED
Protests Over Demotion Of In
spector to D. c. Heads
May Bring Action

Captain Albert j. 1eadley, de-
noted last week from inspector
and made commander % the
Fourth precinct, may be given !
hearing before the District Com
nissioners.
The flood Of protests which fol-
lowed the Commissioners action Is
understood to have had much
weight with Commissioners j.
Franklin Bell and Cuno H. Ru-
dolph. They are said to be favor
ably inclined to grant Captain
Headley an opportunity to put
his case before them.
No definite action, however, is
likely until Commissioner Fred
erick A. Fenning, now in Haven,
Me-, returns to the city on Mon
day, July s.
Captain Headley Silent.
Mean while, many prominent
Washingtonians have voiced with
Commissioners Rudolph and Bell
their vigorous opposition to Captain
Headley's demotion.
The action Of the fire and police
committee Of the Chamber OF Com
merce In passing resolutions yester-
day calling on the Commissioners
to reinstate the former traffic bu-
reau chief may have the effect OF
reopening the case.
Captain Headley himself has made
no request of the city heads for
a hearing, nor has he asked for an
explanation of his reduction in
rank.
The demotion of Captain Headley
is without precedent in the police
department, it was learned oday.
About twenty years ago two lieuten.
ants were reduced in rank because
of old age. This was done rather
than retire the two men. These
cases, however, are not similar to
Captain Headley's case.
Rayner Charges Plot.
w. Pearce Rayner, prominent in
the Board of Trade, is leading the
for Captain Headley's
restoration to. his former rank.
Rayner has declared the demotion
was the result of plot. He says
he will uncover the scheme when
the opportunity preseQts.
There were rumors today of q
investigation next fall
of Captain Headley's reduction.
However. no member of either the
House or Senate has publicly an
nounced intention of seeking a probe
by a Congressional committee.
Captain Headley's demotion is still
the one topic of conversation in the
police department. No more
changes in the departments organ
after Commissioner Jennings re-
turn to the District Building.
Other Protests Expected.
Other organizations in the Dis
trict are reported planning to voice
their protests over Captain Head
ley's reduction.
The Commissioners are reported
to have informally discussed Cap.
tain Headley's case at their meeting
today, but no action was taken.
Neither Commissioner Rudolph
nor Bell would comment on the
report Captain Headley will be
granted a hearing. Both said that
any matters affecting the Police
were in the hands of
Commissioner Fenning and that
would await his return.
