A report on the result of the De-

case for investigation by the Gibson
subcommittee of the House.
The contents of the report on the
sentimental notes was not disclosed at

known that the secret service opera-
tives succeeded in locating the type
writer on which they were written. The
Department of Justice also declined to
reveal what the report on the Cancelled
checks and accounts of Mrs. Blalock
would show.
Definite Action Expected.
With these reports from the Depart
ment of Justice the United States at
torney's office is expected to take some
definite action in the case despite the
absence of the complaining witness. In
the meantime the District Commission
erS proceeded with their plans to send
Capt. Burlingane before an extraordi-
nary trial board on charges to be drawn
by Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride.
Bride was in conference today with
Blanton; and upon returning to his Of
flee in the District Building he an
nounced the Texan had assured him of
his hearty cooperation in the case.
The corporation counsel, however, would
not arnplify his statement with respect
to the conference. Mr.. Bride also had
lengthy conference with Assistant
United States Attorney Collins.
Actual preparation Of the charges on
which Burlingame win be tried has not
been undertaken by Mr.. Bride, who de-.
voted his time today chiefly to reading

lishments in certain sections of WASH

cinct. AS result, Capt Thaddeus
Bean of the first precinct and Capt.
Martin Reilly of the sixth precinct
both came to the defense of their ad-
ministrations.
A meeting of the full House District
committee today prevented Chairman
Gibson of the subcommittee from calling
his group together to continue its in
quiry into complaints against the
Police Department. Mr. Gibson indi-
Gated he would probably wait until
Senator Caraway of Arkansas, who has
made two bitter assaults on the Police
Department in the Senate, submitted
to him information which he said he
intended to turn over to the committee,
