COPS PROTEST
To MAJ. HESSE
TRES CAPTAIN

Should g. rookie cop go over the
head of his precinct captain and
without his captains knowledge
make complaints to the superin'
tendent OF Police.
This question may be one of a
series to be settled by Major Edwin
B. Hesse, police head in connection
with a charge by Capt. William G.
Stott, of the Third precinct. that
Private Robert G. Allen. on his own
volition, paid a personal visit to
the chief.
Allen called on Major Hesse to
complain that he was being perse.
cuted, he says. He wanted to know
il he could look for the majors pro-
lection. He says the major assured
him that he would punish anyone
who sought to prosecute any mem
Der OF the force.
At the same time Major Hesse
has before him a formal letter from
Captain Stott charging that Allen
last week failed to report an acct.
dent on his beat until the day
following the accident; that he said
he forgot to make the report; that
Allen was late reporting to duty
and was late in pulling box.
The accident in question occurred
at Fifteenth and X Streets where
Allen was directing traffic on Sep
TENDER %. The report was not
made until the following day. Allen
was taken off the traffic post and
returned to the station house as
an extra being detailed to beats OF
regular privates on their days off.
Major Hesse has not determined
what course to take. Captain Stott
told the major that he had warned
Allen and Allen says, Warned me?
Why he found three things to warn
me about in "A hours"
Allen recently claimed the lime
light by making an nnscheduled
speech before the policemen's asso.
citation, when he charged that many
OF the policemen have been guilty
OF misconduct, of ,ruelty to prison
ers and other offenses. Later he
wrote signed story for local
newspaper in which he repeated
his charges.
For time Allen was stationed
as a guard at the home of Herbert
Hoover, Republican nominee for
President. Another assignment was
at the home of Secretary of State
Kellogg.
Vote for Mr.. eHoover?" I'll say
I WON'T Allen said yesterday. He
doesn't like me apd don't like
him"
