BLANTON URGES
NEW POLICE
TRIAL PLAN
Commissioners Would Hear
Cases of Offenders Under
Texans System

Elimination of the present
trial board system and insti-
tuition of a system whereby po-
licemen would be taken before
the District Commissioners sit
ting as an investigating body
was advocated today by Rep
resentative Thomas L. Blanton
of Texas, Democrat.
Under the present police system
policemen accused of infractions
of regulations are taken before
the board composed by police Of
ficials, which prevents the posi-,
bility of a fair trial, Blanton said.
With the introduction of the new
system, he feels policemen would
be less liable to commit violations
of laws and rules.
Under the Texans system the
Commissioners, when advised that
some policeman was not following
regulations, could call him before
them for investigation, and. if he
were found guilty, obtain his dis
missal, of, if he we're innocent of
the charges, no action would be
taken.
Under the present police trial
board system convicted police
men can appeal to the CommiS-
Sioners for final Judgment. and
may be reinstated if the merits Of
their case warrants such action.

"The National Hunger
Marchers" left Washington to-
day fired with determination
to return on February 4, with
reinforcements and accomplish
their aims to see President
Hoover and present petitions
for unemployment relief from
the floor of Congress.
Efforts to accomplish these
objects met with failure yester-
day, but the visitors left singing
paeans of victory. They say the
fact they were permitted TO
parade with banners and placards
and to make speeches on the
Capitol Plaza and in front Of the
White House was : major achieve
ment-something never before
accomplished.
Escorted Ply Police
Columns Nus. and 2 COM
prising the Eastern division Of
the marchers, moved away from
John Marshal Place Northwest
at 10, o'clock. Thirt y-five
minutes later, under police guard,
they had been escorted out of
the District.
Column No. 3, made up Of
Western delegates, left John
Marshal Place at 1890 and at
11:15 also had crossed into Mary
land.
Other columns, made up Of
small units from the South, left
last night.
Promise to Return
At the District line the police
escorts found reinforcements
from the precincts covering the
neighborhood. and as the trucks
and automobiles crossed the line
there were many shouts:
Don't come back"
Invariably the "marchers"
shouted back:
Look for us February II.
Well be here 10000 strOng!"
Egress from the District today
was made via Bladensburg Road
and Wisconsin Avenue.
Police expressed the opinion
that most of the "marchers" had
departed, but were fearful that the
task of rounding up the Stragglers
would be long and serious one.
However, it was said. every strag.
gler found here after today will
be eVicted.
Suffer. From Cold
Under orders the "marchers"
left the quarters provided for them
at 8 o'clock and piled into the
trucks. They had eaten a coarse
but substantial breakfast but be-
fore the homeward trek begun
they were cold and shivering.
Many wrapped blankets around
themselves while others huddled
together as closely as possible for
warmth.
Police remained on duty in the
area around the quarters for sew
eral hours after the columns had
departed, while special precautions
were maintained at the Capitol
and the White House.
Despite the attitude of the
marchers that they had gained
victory authorities we're of the
opinion that they had been prop
erly chastened without recourse
to violence.
The final demonstrations were
held yesterday afternoon and last
night at the auditorium as at
all times during the visit. however,
the police had the situation in
hand.

DR.. CLARENCE TRUE WILSON
BECOMES w. B. WHEELER
OF PRESENT TIME ~, .--
: By ROBERT S. ALLEN :

T1OUR years after the death of Wayne B. Wheeler one
time generalissimo of the drys successor has finally
forged his way to position of relative command OF the
prohibition Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general
tary of the Board of Temperance Prohibition and Public
Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, does not hold
the the dry organizations and leaders that be-
longed to thin fra but domneerg deceased general
superintendent of the Antisaloon League.
Wheeler built up and completely controlled powerful
dry machine of nterreated dry organizations Iulary,
he only general manager Of unit Of this machine,
the Antisaoon League But actually he bossed the entire
machine. .... ..~i
The Antsaloon League during his life, the clearing
house of the legislative political and propaganda operations
of the drys 1t overshadowed all other dry organizations
and its little superintendent overtowered all other dry
leaders.
But with Wheelers death league rapidly sank into the
background There tusse among the dry leaders lor
his place Dr. F. Scott Mcbride the superntendency,
but the potency of the position could not be passed on oy
mere majority of votes. =.
That had belonged the genius of leadership inherent in
Wheeler, and when he died, it passed with bim
Mantle Falls to Wilson
The Antsaloon League today is longer the dominant
nower m the drv army It and it's general superintendent
have been superseded and other figures and other d groups
command greater authority
The behndhe-scenes struggle among the drys for
Wheeler authority has been progress since has death IN
the reshufflng of dry forces several new %
taken form, the most important being the national froho
ton Board of Strategy of which Edwin e. Dlnwlddle IS
executive secretary.
This organization is direct outgrowth of the loss of
trail leadership the drys by the death OF Wheeler IT Is
attempting tangible form the unity OF command
that he gave the dry forces through his dominating authority
The National Strategy Board is comprised of 3} dry or
ganzations and its board of directors all the I'M

Step by step the four years since Wheelers death

Dr. Wilson his church organization have come to weld
the most influence among the drys. -
Dr. Wilson is markedly different from Wheeler lie IS
the crusader type; Wheeler the political manipulation

indulge in such vehement outburst of criticism as Dr.
Wilson recently gave vent his bitter attack the

Good Natured Fighter

Wheelers disapproval of such anprohibtion conduct
would have been just strong as Wilson's was but ne
would have opened himself to so damaging an adml
sion Of the failure of the dry laws. .
DR.. Wilson also differs strongly from Wheeler IN his
appearance and manner TALL slender of dapper appear
ance with carefully trimmed mustache and goatee the
churchman is of imposing presence. Wheeler was thln
underszed and careless in attire. ~
It is Wilson proud boast that he is "gOodnatured

among them Clarence Darrow who speaks highly OF him

Wilson professional speaker. He has delivered hum

and has spoken every State the UnlOn we'll as IN

In addition all this he has written number OF books,
