Successor to Hesse Will Be
Named Friday by District
Commissioners. A..
MANY CHANGES HINGE
ON PRATTS SELECTION
Six Promotions Resulting From
Burlingame's Retirement Ap-
proved by Board.

The delay of the District Commits
sioners in appointing successor to Po-
lice Supt. Edwin B. Hesse. who goes
on a retirement status Sunday, threatens
to postpone the impending reorganiza-
ton of the administrative staff Of the
police department.
The Commissioners plan to name the
new police superintendent Friday, ana
as they do not meet again in regular
board meeting until Tuesday, it was
pointed out, the changes contemplated,
will necessarily have to be postponed.
unless a special session Is called IN the
meantime for the purpose OF APPROX
ing them.
Many Changes Loom.
The promotion of Inspector Henry G.
Pratt to the superintendcy, which is
regarded as likely. will necessitate many
more personnel changes than would be
required if Maj. Hesse'S successor was
picked from outside the police ranks.
In addition to the inSpectorship, Pratt
also holds the rank Of assistant superin-
tendent, and both of these positions
would have to be filled If he is advanced,
besides a half a dozen or more other
vacancies which would be created all
along the line as the result Of promo
tions
Inspector William S. Shelby, an as
sistant superintendent and personnel
officer. is slated for Pratt'S position as
chief of the Detective Bureau if he Is
promoted to the superintendency, but
this change would leave vacancy in
the rank of assistant superintendent.
Indications are that either Inspector E.
w. Brown, in charge Of the Traffic Blu
reau, or Inspector Louis j. Stoll would
be promoted to the vacant assistant SUI
perintendency, which carries with 1t an
increase in compensation OF $3.50 year.
Six Shifts Approved.
The six changes in personnel recon-
mended by Maj. Hesse as result OF the
retirement of Capt. Guy E. Burlingame
Of the second precinct were approved
yesterday afternoon by the Commits
sioners. Outstanding among them was
the promotion of Lieut.. Frank S. w.
Burke, who will take over Burlingame's
command Monday morning at 8 O'Clock.
The other promotions and shifts ap-
proved were the transfer of Lieut.. Ogden
T. Davis from the fifth precinct to
headquarters, to fill the vacancy created
by the elevation of Lieut.. Burke; the
promotion of Detective Sergt. Richard
Mansfield to lieutenant, and his assign
ment to the fifth precinct to succeed
Lieut.. Davis; the promotion Of Detective
James E. Kane of the first precinct to
succeed Mansfield at headquarters: the
promotion of Pvt. James j. Tolson OF
the second precinct to precinct detective,
and his assignment to the first precinct
to succeed Kane, and the promotion
of Pvt. Louis Redman OF the seventh
precinct to the rank of sergeant to NIL

Andes Expected to Supply
Extensive Additions to
Botanical Collection.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Bound for the deep jungles of the
upper Amazon and the practically I'M
explored Oriente territory of north
eastern Feru, a Smithsonian Institution
plant-hunting expedition left Washing
ton this morning for Lima.
The expedition, which will be gone ap-
proximately eight months. is in charge
Of Ellsworth P. Killip. assistant curator
of the National Herbarium. He is ac-
companied by Albert c. Smith of the
liam j. Dennis. Smithsonian collab-
orator.
After crossing the Andes from Lima.
the expedition expects to plunge into
territory which is practically unknown
TO the botaniSt. 1t is a country Of
dense jungles, Of legendary narcotic and
medicinal plants, and of primitive In
dian tribes from whom the explorers
hope to gain much information. The
expedition, Mr. Killip said, is not
specifically in search of any of the
plants to WHICH strange properties have
been attributed, but desires to obtain as
complete a collection as possible of all
the flora of the region for scientific
Identification Previous American eX-
plorers have been interested primarily
in plants with economic possibilities.
and the specimens they have brought
back have been often worthless as
laboratory standards.
To Proceed From Lima.
The expedition will proceed from
Lima over the mountains to Huancayo.
where mule caravans will be QUILTED to
carry them down the Eastern Slope to
Puerto YesSup. on the Pichies River.
They then will proceed by boat down
the Uacayli River To IcuitoS, a village IN
the extreme northeast Of Peru, which Is
the headquarters of navigation for large
boats on the Amazon.
On the way across the mountains ex-
tensive botanical collections will be
made. This region is interesting as the
source of many of the plants utilized
in the Inca agriculture. Some of these
have not been botanically identified, al
though their general classification is
known.
Killip and his associates then will
secure launch for explorations up the
Maranon, Huallaya and Tigre rivers,
tributaries of the Amazon which reach
into the almost mythical Oriente.

of strange beasts and vanished civiliza-

was explored by early European botan-
lists, but has been untouched since they
