POLICE WOMEN
LOSE ON BILL.

The policewomen's bill--for which
Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle and q phalanx
Of women's organizations have been
working for many months-is hope
lessly deadlocked. In the Senate.
A final effort Is to be made to OBJ
tain consideration for 1t at the meet
ing Of the Senate District Committee
tomorrow. but the opposition 10 90
strong that It il almost certain to
be shelved.
The development of the woman's
bureau of the Police Department, and
the extension OF its authority, has
been urged upon Congress how for
two years; but apparently the Van
Wrinkle measure is no nearer passage
now than when the drive started.
Various local interests, headed by
j. Easby-Smith and others, have
been unremitting in their opposition
to it.
The final batch of District bills to
be considered at the present session
will come before the Senate com.
mite tomorrow. For the most part
only noncontroversial measures will
be under consideration.
