POLICE CLAIM

Claims Of the Police Department
that handwriting experts of the
Treasury Department studied sigma
lures of two District employees three
years ago, when the question of
forged vouchers was involved, were
disrroved today.
A search of the records of the
Treasury Department does not re.
veal the incident referred to by the
police.
The case in question involved
Charles NJ. Watts, and Charles Fl.
Stanley. Stanley was arrested this
week and confessed to forging
vouchers for refunds in the high
way department. At the same time
he confessed to forging vouchers
three years ago in the office OF
superintendent of Parks. thereby
generating Watts, who at the
time was accused.
The police said that a Treasury
handwriting expert examined the
signatures of Watts and Stanley.
b. c. Farrar, for 40 years hand
writing expert for the Treasury
did not examine the signatures in
question, he said today. He added
that where the personal vindication
of a man is at stake mis- depart
ment always exercises extreme

Whether or not the company

ponds largely upon how the com.
mission rejects the fare petition
Methods Varied
1t can be done in several ways.
The commission may fatty reject
the petition; it may postpone an
Increase pending a valuation OF the
company's properties, or 1t may
grant an increase effective follow

provided the merger has not been

Attitude Changes

has undergone a surprising change
since the petition for an increased
fare was submitted. At that time
it seemed as though favorable
action on the petition was fore

Powerful opposition to the pro-
posed increase has manifested itself
since, however Peoples Counsel
Ralph b.. FIeharty bitterly opposed
the raise in public hearings and 9

known to the commission their OBJ
jections to an increase pending the
outcome of the merger problem.
FIeharty wiped out the companys
claims OF poverty and forced it to
change the basis of its appeal from

It's claim for an immediate in-
crease on the basis of valuation is
weaker than 1t would

police Of Client pointed out to the
governing authorities that cleVerly
trained dog could run down Grim
inal more surely and quickly than any
two-legged policeman, and that 1t was
better to risk dogs life rather than
that of an officer. The idea found
favor and the chief was commissioned
to get his dogs. This he dld anu
trained them to distinguish between
skulking criminals and the ordinary
reputable citizen, who walks by day.
Special kennels were built in the ponce
stations, and collars, coats ana muz-
zles were provided in the way OF uni
forms. The dogs proved particularly
useful to the police at night ana
saved much running backwards ana
forwards. These dogs are so highiy
intelligent that they refuse food from
strangers, bring home lost children
