The District Commissioners
in special session today re-
ceived from Major Z. B. Hesse,
police chief, the report and
recommendation on the answer
filed yesterday by Capt. Guy
E. Burlingame to questions re-
lating to charge of Mrs. Helen
F. Blal0ck, missing palmist.
Shortly after receiving the report
the Commissioners called Major
Hesse, Corporation Counsel w. w.
Bride and his principal assistant,
Ringgold Hart, into the conference.
While Major Hesse would not re-
veal the nature of his report. he
indicated that he toll the Commits

containing a complaint.
The chief admitted that there

against Burlingame OF produce the
original of the affidavit,
Sentiment Divided
Tn the District Building today
sentiment was evenly divided m
the question Of whether the Com.
missioners would order the suspen-
sion OF the police captain.
Major Hesse called attention to a
section in the police manual which
saws that a police officer cannot be
suspended or tried on complaints OF
one other than a police official uii-
less an original affidavit containing
the complain is made.
Up to this time Major Hesse,
said, no such document had reached
him.

Hesse says. it is up to Mr.. Blantod
to make the next move.

Hesse Against Suspension
Burlngame yesterday declined to
make any explanation Of his side OF
the case TO the Commissioners or to
Major Edwin B. Hesse, superintend-
ent of police. After reading Bur
lingame's noncommittal statement,
Major Hesse said he did not think
he would be justified in recommend
ing Burlingame' suspension.
The Commissioners, however, may
go over Hesse's head today. On
their action in the matter depends

affectionate letters, alleged to have

District authorities by the subcom-
mittee, together with photostatic
copies of checks and receipts signed
with Burlingame's name.
Gibson and Blanton both expressed
the opinion that the Commissioners

to pass the buck" and ignore the
charges. Both were equally in

By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
~ ACK into the Southern Associa-
- ton has gone Frank BRAZIL after
a stormy career in the majors
- and on the Pacific Coast since
he left the Atlanta club in 1920.
BRAZIL, one of the most colorful left
hand batters the big minor leagues have
ever known, passed out OF the ;. coast SnSS
the umpires.
Two years ago, while with Los An
geles, BRAZIL had a run-in with Umpire
Nal EaSon. It was charged that the
umpire had been ION" the Los Angeles
players all week.
Anyway, in an argument over play.
BRAZIL struck Eason and the punch had
far-reaching consequences. 1t was not
a very hard punch-Brazill always
claimed It was slap-and the penalty
announced by President Harry Williams
was only weeks, suspension.
But the league umpires banded to-
gether, went over the head OF their
president by writing round robin let
ter to Judge Lands demanding a more
severe penalty, and before the judge got
through BRAZIL had been on the bench
IS days.
Always at his best as fighting att-
lete, although not Of the rowdy type, he
found himself marked man. If he
opened his mouth it was "out OF the
game"
BRAZIL has a grand batting average
Of 1891 for a period of nine years, start
ing with Atlanta in 1920. From the
Crackers he went to the Athletics and
hit .27l, the only club for which he has
not hit 800. He was with Portland the
next three seasons, with Seattle In 1925,
Los Angeles In 1927 and Portland last
His best season was 1925, when he
blasted out $50 hits In 708 times at bat
to compile an average Of $50.
