POLICE DOCKET
SPEEDED Up

Quick trials in the District and
United States Police courts viii
be the rule after November !, ac-
cording to John Fitzpatrick, as.
sistant District attorney in charge
Of Police Court cases.
This speeding up the wheels
Of justice has been largely ef-
fected by cutting down on the
number Of warrants issued. There
is now an average of but one war
rant to every six applications.
Another move towards the
speedier dispensation of justice
has been the ruling that all Grand
Jury cases will be sent from Po-
lice Court to the Grand Jury
on the same day as the arraigr-
ment.
Fitzpatrick also plans to as
sure jury trials to defendants
demanding them within 48 hours
after their arTaignment in Police
Court.
Following the inception of these
new rules, the court calendars of
the Police courts have been in
excellent shape, Fitzpatrick said.
A delay of q year was formerly
common, he said, whereas now he
expects to finish the trials within
q day after arraignmeft.

DEAD GIRL WAS
ONLY ASLEEP

Headquarters detectives went to
1918 U st. N. W., this morning
to remove q dead girl from a
closet. When they opened the
door the girl shouted quite Justify
and behaved very much as though
she was alive.
! A doctor from Emergency Hos
pital certified that she was alive
and that nothing was the matter
with her.
The girl, Sylvia Hawkins, 16,
colored, went to school yesterday
and failed to return. Her aunt,
Carrie Hawkins, thought she had
gone to her mother in Brentwood.
This morning, however. the still
form was discovered in the closet.
A call for police to come and
investigate the death was made.
She had been asleep.

DEMAND FALLS IN
 AMUSEMENT BONDS
Call Loans Drop and Funds Re. ! ported Plentiful

New York, April 10 R-Decreased activity in most of the amusement company issues. as well as in the more consistently popular convcrti- bles, slowed the pace of bond trad ing today. A few low coupon rails were in demand during the earlier hours, but prices had little inclina- ton to change.
 Time money remained stationary, but call loans dropped to 3h per cent after renewing at 4 and funds were reported as plentiful.
 Listed fixed income securities had to meet the competition offered by the largest volume for a single day in some time. The principal items were the Republic Steel corpora tion's s60,0O0,0o0 block of prefer red stock and the s5o,000,000 issue of Argentine six-months per cent treasury notes, marketed at par Atarrett Investing Corp. sold Sl0,- 000.000 in 20-year secured 5s at 92 and Calgary Power, Ltd, had an $S,0oo.o0O loan in 3o-year first 5s priced at 94. Part of Dublin, Ireland, issue of 5s was offered in this market at 95ls.

 Theaters Advance
 Shubert Theaters 6s advanced 8 point to 65, new high. General theaters 6s also improved on fairly substantial dealings, but Loew's 6s and Warner Brothers 6s stayed close to the Wednesday finals. American Telephone 4l:s sold down a few points with the shares, while Inter- national Telephone 412s, profiting by the stronger tone of the stock, rose nearly points,
 Miscellaneous firm issues includ- ed New York Central 5s. Hudson X Manhattan 5s, Goodyear Tire 5s, New York Edison 5s. the New Pennsylvania 4h.s and Northern Pacific "C' 5s, but trading was ex- ceedingly light.

DESCRIBES ORIGIN
 OF POLICE FORCE
Cave Man First to Feel Need Of
 Protective System

The origin and development of police departments throughout the world and especially in the United States were discussed by Sergeant W. T. Babcock of the New London police department at the meeting of the New Britain Rotary club at noon today.
 Sergeant Babcock said that when man began to live in caves he re- qured some sort of system to pre- serve peace and protect life and property. and from the point of community punishment in that age he traced the police department to the present highly organized sys- tenn.
 He told of the modern teletype system whereby simultaneous mes- sages in writing are sent by machine to all police departments in Connec- ticut and said he believed this state had the most highly developed sys- tenn of municipal police in the coun- try.
 Ono Of the encouraging things about modern police methods, Ser seant Babcock said, is the fact that officers are beginning to realize more than ever the problems facing the patrolmen and private police men under their authority.
 He said municipal police depart ments iu this country were organ ized in Boston in 1888, in New York in 1S40 and in Philadelphia in 1S4S. These efforts all were unsuccessful. but in 1S4S New York organized what became the basis of it's pres ent force. To the late Theodore Roosevelt he gave credit for making the New York police department one to be admired. Not until 1860 Wa, there uniformed police de- partuent in America, he said.
 Officers have heavy responsibil- ity because they have charge Of patrolmen and policemen covering a large territory, Sergeant Babcock pointed out. He said an officers problem is to keep in contact and sympathy with his men and to as- sume the responsibility for the po- licemen under him.
 One of the modern movements which. he said, he finds beneficial, is the recognition by officers of police departments of the need of police schools for patrolmen.

Impressive Bullish Market Is Reaching Record Breaking Sales;
 Noon Slump Soon Swept Away
Scores Rise 1 to 10 Points and More Than 50 Make New Highs - Increase in Steel Business and Low Money Rate Re- sponsible.

New York, April 10 LP) The
 stock market today gave one of the most impressive bullish demonstra- tlons of the year in trading of rec ord-breaking proportions. Scores of issues were marked up 1 to 10 points. with at least 50 reaching new high ground for the year. A furry of selling swept through the market at midday, cutting down some of the early gains and send ing sprinkling of issues below yesterdays final quotations. New leaders were quickly brought for
 ward, however, and the market was
 headed upward again by early aft ernoon.
 Steel Orders Assist A reduction in the call money
 rate from 4 to 1-2 per cent, an in the March unified orders of the United States Steel Corp. and an increase of about 10 cents a barrel in Continent Crude Oil prices helped to generate bullish enthusi- asm. Blocks of 5000 to S5,00O shares appeared on the tape at fre-
 quent intervals.
 J. l. Case. first quarter earnings of which have been unofficially es- timated as high as SIS a share, jumped 10 points to new high at sos. 1nserSoll Rand climbed more

 5-4 points to 197 3-4. or a point
 below the years high. Chrysler Mo-
 tors was heavily bought in the early
 afternoon, crossing 42 to a new
 high level for the year, despite un- confirmed reports that Studebaker

 panies would probably reduce diri- dends in the near future.
 Public utilities were again turned
 over in large volume. Consolidated Gas of New York, Public Service of New Jersey, United Gas Improve
 ment, United Corporation, General
 Gas & Electric "A," and Utilities
 Power & Light all reached new
 high ground. On the other hand,
 Peoples Gas fell [ 1-2 points, Amer

 Pools Again Active Pools were again active in such
 stocks as Eastman Kodak, Nesting
 house Electric, Houston Oil Radio Corporation common, International Business Machines and A. M. Byers
 all of which sold to nearly points higher. Among the many industrials and specialties to reach new high ground were General Electric, h.
 ternational Harvester. Gold Dust Dupont, Timken Roller Bearing
 General Theaters Equipment, Shu.

 United Aircraft, Johns Manvillc
