FURNACE SPURNS
| STOOL PIGEONS"
Will Issue No More Warrants
] on Informer Evidence Un-
( less Covered by Police.

Reiterating his long g-cherished opinion
.that the present method of enforcing
the prohibition laws by the stool
pigeon" method of making buys"
Should be discontinued, United States
Commissioner Needham c. Turnage to-
day announced that he would issue no
more warrants for illegal sale of liquor
Unless the informer who made the pur-
chase was covered" by the police or
prohibition agents Because of the
large number of perjury cases in which
police informerS have been found to
have sworn to untrue statements, Com
missioner Turnage and police officials
have decided that the agents must
actually see the stool pigeon" enter the
premises before a warrant for illegal
sale will be issued.
In recommending the aboliShmert' OF
the stool pigeon" method entirely the
commissioner urged the substitution OF
a regular force of informers employed
either by contract or under civil service
examination.
Judge Approves Plan.
The plan has the substantial ap-
proval of Gus A. Schuldt, presiding
police Court judge, who declares all the
Judges in his court have long felt the
present system is unsatisfactory. Judge
Schuldt believes it is matter the
Police Department should handle, and
suggests that a satisfactory solution
might be obtained by employing the
police themselves as informers.
The police in one section of the city
are usually unknown in another, and
the Judge thinks men might be trans
ferred temporarily from their regular
precinct to some other for this work.
Then, too, he points out, new men are
constantly coming on the force, who
might be able to do the work quite
satisfactorily for while in any pre-
cinct ..
Commissioner Turnage's suggestion
was occasioned by the case of Milton
F. Lee, 40 years old. It's Mount Vernon
place. the latest stool pigeon" to be
charged with perjury. The charge was
placed following hearing before the
commissioner at which Mrs. Lovena
Odell of 1416 Sixteenth street proved
she was out of town at the time Lee
swore he made buy" from her.

of "The Bishop" before registering. His
friends who now work behind the bar
say that his fame was not confined only
to this country. They told today a
story Of a man on his first visit to this
country from Australia who walked into
the bar and asked to be presented to
"The Bishop" of whom he had heard
so much
In the past few years ''The Bishop"
had been nj failing health, and often
spoke to his associates at the bar, which
now is a lunch counter. and was under
his management up to the time Of
his death. of his dread Of lingering
sickness that would result in his death

said frequently to them In the past two
wears. But through 1t all he was cheer
full and as ready of tongue and wit as
only an IriShman with a store of wis
dom can be. SiZer says.
THE Bishop always wore swallow
tail coat and was an imposing figure
about the bar.
He never, in his whole service at the
Raleigh, asked for or would take a
vacation. Sizer said today that many
times he has been invited for week
end or a week or two at the country
estates of rich and prominent men who
freouented the bar, but he never ac-
cepted these invitations and every
morning would find him at work.
BY his labors he sent his two sons
through college, one, T. j., to George
town, and John, jr., to st. johns, and
both were graduated with hi9h honors.
In his latter days he and his wife
occupied a small apartment in the
Franklin Park, 1882 I street. His widow,
Josephine Hartnett, and his two sons
survive him. Requiem mass will be held
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock at st.
Matthew's Church, Rhode Island avenue
near Connecticut avenue, and burial
will be in Mount Olivet Cemetery.

Queens of Olden Times Would

o MATCH

His Holiness Plus XI and her majesty
the Queen of Spain may have lad
something TO do with the recent tend
ency toward more conservative clothes
for church wear. Churcflmen now
adays give much less attention than
they did to prevailing fashions for
women. Perhaps this is because they
have come to realize that a very modest
woman may wear a gown which TO
them seems immodest and that worn-
an who is not modest at all may be
most sedately dressed.
When it comes to the question ot
what a woman should wear in church
1t is different matter.
Naturally enough the Pope had SON.
statements to make on the subject, and
quite appropriately the Queen of Spain
took steps TO carry out his wishes IN
the dress worn by herself and the ladies
Of her court when attending services in
the court chapel The fact that the
long-sleeved, long-skirted frocks that
she prescribed were extremely graceful
and generally becoming-and that sne
herself was one Of the best dressed and
most attractive Of queens-was quiIe
favorable TO popularization Of more
decorous church attire In Europe
Dressmakers in Paris took their cue and
for their religious customers took pains
10 show frocks that were most appropri-
ate for church wear without being
thereby less smart or becoming.
Few women nowadays like to have
special Eunday-go-to-meetin frocE
but every woman who goes TO church
even occasionally may conveniently
have one frock in her wardrobe that
may DO for this and other occasions.
II need not be black, though dark OF
neutral coiors are most appropriate.
The hat should be small and not
eccentric. Wide-brimmed hats OBJ
gtruct the view of those behind us
and unusual hats distract their atten-
ton. The skirt should be fairly long
and not too narrow. Some skirts, YOU
know. were never meant for kneelin2.
The sports type Of dress really isn't
appropriate for church. though modi-
fed sports ensemble would do better
than the the dansant" type of frock
that some women wear TO their devo-
tions. Brilliant jewels should never be
worn In chuTch-with the exception OF
the engagement ring. A small string OF
pearls or a collar Of plain gold or silver,
iade or turquoise matrix may be worn
Dangling bracelets and other ornaments
that may be heard are obviously out OF
the picture for church--and 80 too are
any sort Of dangling or sparkling ear
rings.
6potless gloves of an unobtrusive de-
sign and stockings of gray. beige, gun
metal or brown are appropriate. The
woman ri good taste would not choose

have thought of the cobwebby stock
ings one buys nowadays for a dollar
twenty-four a pair?
We may envy the queens and beau-
ties of the past. Few of us envy the
queens of today We realize that their
flowery path is well bordered with off,
cial duties that we should all find tedi-
ouS--that their freedom is hampered
and their individuality thwarted
Think twice before you wish you
might change places with any of them.

4 movement to restrict the draw ing of plans for buildings to archi- tects who make this their regular line of business has been frowned upon by the building commission, that board having declined a sugges tlon to that end advanced by Com missioner Joseph Wratschko.
 The commissioner, who is a con- tractor, cited several instances where inexpertly prepared plans have made it impossible 10 follow the ideas the draftsman had intended to convey. He favored acceptance by the build ing inspector of no sketches which are not produced by regularly grad uated architects but other members of the board, who considered the suggestion at their meeting last night, countered with an answer that the mere fact of completion of col lege course is not absolute guaranty of good workmanship.
