MRS. VAN Wrinkle
DEFENDS BUREAU
Appears at House Hearing in
Behalf of PoIiceWomen's
Measure.

The Gibson bill to legally establish
policewomen's bureau in the Dis
trict of Columbia was considered at
a hearing today before the Rathbone
subcommittee of the House District
committee.
Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle. chief of the
existing policewomen's bureau, and
George E. Worthington. attorney for
the District Social Hygiene Society
and also for the American Hygiene
Association, were the principal wit
nesses.
They emphasized that the principal
reason for this legislation is to give
permanency, through substantive
law, to the policewomen's bureau, SO
that it may not be endangered at the
whim of changing administrations.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle stated that at the
present time, although the police
women are overworked and need so
additional women to put the force as
now organized on an 8-hour day, yet
half of their time is taken up with
persistent efforts to maintain the ex-
istence of the bureau.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle told the commit
tee that If 100 additional policewomen
are allowed 1t would cost $500
apiece for II the first year. and then
an annual increase up to $1,000.
"nlCn makes salary increase OF
S13S, 500 the first year.
In reply to questions by Repre-
sentative Reid. Republican, of ILL.,
nois. Mrs. Van Wrinkle admitted that
under the bill the policewomen will
have powers that they do not have
now, and then amended her state
ment by saying. additional safe
guards
Both Mrs. Van Wrinkle and Mr..
Worthington insisted there is no eff
fort to take the bureau out of the
control Of the major and superin-
tendent of police. but that it recog-
niZes the majors complete author
ity.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle told the commit
tee that the inspiration for the bill
came from Maj. Hesse. but when
pressed by Mr.. Reid was reluctant
to state whether Maj. Hesse had been
as enthusiastic for this legislation
since he became chief of police.
Representative Hammer, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, and Mrs.
Van Wrinkle had a spirited argument
regarding the attitude of police
women. Mrs. Van Wrinkle vigor-
ously defended the character and at
titude of all of the women in her
bureau.

AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
REMOVAL IS URGED
Secretary Davis Declares Ac.
ton Should Be Taken at
Earliest Opportunity.

Early enactment Of the bill pending
in Congress providing for the removal
Of the obsolete Aqueduct Bridge, at
Georgetown, Is advocated by Secre-
tary of War Davis in a letter to Chair
man NORM of the House committee on
military affairs. who recently re-
quested his views on the subject
The early removal of the old bridge,
the Secretary of War said. is desirable
because, in addition to being entirely
useless, the existing structure inter.
feres with the navigation Of the river,
Is a source of great danger during
floods and prevents the proper COM
pletion of the Virginia approach of
the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which
was built to take it's place.
1.-The piers of the old bridge" Sec.
rotary Davis said. ARE in bad condi-
ton. Except for the three new piers
built to replace old ones beyond repair,
the mortar has been washed out below
the water line, and in manay cases
stones have fallen out. leaving cavities.
Two piers Of the Aqueduct Bridge
tend to block openings in the Key
Bridge. Ice foes. as past experience
has shown, have been caught by the
closely spaced piers of the Aqueduct
Bridge, resulting in damming the
water. The combination of the Aque-
duct and Key Bridge piers, increa ses
that danger considerably. The Key
Bridge piers were designed so as to
minimize that danger.
THE abutment at the Virginia end
of the Aqueduct Bridge projects some
so feet into the river beyond the abut-
ment Of the Key Bridge. That has
caused sitting to such an extent that
approximately two-thirds Of the wa
terway between the south abutment
and pier No. i Of the Key Bridge has
filled up. By removing the projecting
Virginia abutment of the Aqueduct
Bridge and cleaning out the silt and
construction debris the oss-sectional
area can be greatly increased. That
additional area IS imperatively needed,
as II has been noted that during floods
damming effect of from to 3 feet
high has been caused by that obstruc-
ton when a flood stage from Is to
19 feet was reached.
The vertical clearance under the
old Aqueduct Bridge is 80 feet at mean
low water. Through the central arch
or the Key Bridge a vertical clearance
OF 81 feet for a width of so feet IS
available Derrick boats which could
pass under the new bridge have been
prevented by the restricted clearance
OF the old bridge from ascending the
Potomac River to handle the product
Of the quarries above the bridge. It
has also come to the attention Of this
department that at least one project to
establish a navigation terminal above
the bridge has been abandoned on &C.
count of the uncertainty as to the
removal of the Aqueduct Bridge. The
grading and protection Of the fill at
the Virginia approach to the Kew
Bridge cannot be completed until the
old Aqueduct Bridge abutment has
been removed
The amount named in the accom-
panying bill Is believed to be SUFFICIENT
to cover the cost Of removal. accord.

DEATH OF FIFTH nun
SPEEDS POISON PROBE
Theory Gas From Wood Stain
Caused Deaths Is Doubted-Doc-
tor Examining One Body.
BY the Associated Press.

DICKINSON, n. D., February %
An investigation to determine the
cause of death of five nuns at ST.
.Ioseph's Hospital continues following
the death of the fifth victim, Sister
Secundis. yesterday. While no definite
reason has been given by local
physicians for the deaths, it was re-
ported that gas poisoning from wood
stain applied to a recently completed
portion of the hospital might be re-
sponsible. This belief is doubted,
however, as no workmen or patients
have been affected. The first death
occurred two weeks ago.
A coroner's jury, when informed of
the fifth death, adjourned until it
receives medical reports.
DR.. H. NJ. Banks. dean of the Uni.
versity of North Dakota School of
Medicine. will give a report of his
examination of one of the victims
within a week.
DR.. T. NJ. Pearce. of the School of
chemistry of the North Dakota
Agricultural College, says it is un.
likely that wood stain caused the
deaths, as nothing in the ordinary
paints, stains or varnishes Is toxic.
