Detective Sidney H Miles, sixth pre-
cinct officer, suspended last week after
he is alleged to have attempted to tear
a dress off woman while in an intoxi-
Gated condition has been broke" in
the parlance of the Police Department.
An order transferring Miles to the
eleventh precinct as foot patrolman,
has been issued by Major Henry G..
Pratt, superintendent, with Private
Mathew Chmylko of No. IL station

the suspended officer.

out of the incident which caused his
suspension. Chmylko has already taken
up his new duties as detective at Union
Station.

Major Pratt, Private Karl o. Spiess of

CORONER PREFERS
.MORGUE AUTOPS|ES
Asks for Better Equipment
and Additional Help in Dis
charging Duties.

Coroner j. Ramsay hewitt agrees with
most of the findings of the Limerick
grand jury on the work of the coroner's
Office, according to a report he filed
with Commissioner Herbert B. Crosby
today. He believes, however, that autop-
sizes should continue to be made at the
Morgue instead of at undertaking
establishments, as recommended by the
grand jury.
He would like better autopsy equip
ment, a clerk and Stenographer, .
greater force of deputy coronerS and
generally better cooperation between
the coroner's Office, attending physi-
clans, ambulance surgeons and the
police.
His report will be laid before the
meeting of the Board of Commissioners
tomorrow morning. 1t reads:
1T has been my observation that am
bulance surgeons and private physicians
have in the past promptly notified the
police or the coroner's Office of Sus-
picious deaths coming under their OBJ
seryations. Police officials have in al
cases remained until the arrival of the
coroner or the deputy coroner.
Il approve of the grand jury's recon-
mendation that all ambulance surgeons
and physicians Immediately notify the
police of any suspicious circumstances
surrounding a death. / also approve OF
recommendation No. (where deaths
occur without medical practitioners in
attendance, the coroner be promptly
notified.
Il believe the autopsy room at the
Morgue is entirely suitable for perform
ing autopsies, especially those of a med
ico-legal aspect. The equipment at the
Morgue for performing autopSieS is anti
quated and does not meet the demands
for the scientific investigation necessary
in medical-legal cases.
Il believe that the force of employe.
Of the coroner's Office is not sufficient
TO adequately take care of the amount
Of work and to meet the increasing de-
mands that this Office is called upor
to perform AS a coroner'S Office is q
court of record, it is essential that Il
have a clerk and Stenographer.
1T is also my opinion that in view
of the fact that all coroner'S cases are
police cases first, that physicians anC
ambulance surgeons notify the Police
Department directly, so that valuable
time be saved in the investigation o.
these cases, particularly homicide cases
so that the Police Department can ge
into direct touch with the coroner's
Office.
Il cannot urge too strongly that IL
all cases of suspicious circumstances
the first officer arriving at the seem
promptly comply with the Police De
partment order to notify the homicid
squad Immediately"

SPEED TO Be ASKED
ON FREE FOOD BILL
Mcleod to Seek Emergency
Action to Aid Undernour-
iShed Children.

Acting Chairman Mcleod Of the
House District Committee intends to
ask emergency action at a special meet
ing of the House District Committee to-
morrow, on the bill he introduced late
yesterday to furnish undernourished
school children in Washington with free
food. This legislation has been. urged
by John j. Noonan, who originated the
reduced street car fare measure for Dis
trict school children.
Urges Prompt Action.
Representative Mcleod said that due
to Mr.. Noonan'S presentation of facts
regarding the number of District school
children who are undernourished, that
both members of the House and Senate
already have sufficient information on
this subject to warrant them in ex-
pediting the passage of his bill as an
emergency measure. He emphasized
that prompt action must be taken in
order to get the $4,000 authorized to
carry out this important welfare work,
included in the second deficiency appro-
priation bill now under consideration.
Although the money would not be avail
able until after the schools closed for
the Summer, there will be no other ap-
preparation bill in which it could be in
cluded.
Representative Mcleod explained that
under his bill distribution of food would
not be limited to public school children,
but would include pupilS-attending pri-
vate and parochial schools which are
charging no tuition or not in excess of
$25 year. This would put the free
food for undernourished children on
the same basis of distribution as re-
duced carfareS. Administration of the
distribution of free soup, milk and other
food would be lodged in the District
health officer, under supervision of the
District Commissioners.
Provides New Inspectors.
The legislation provides for regular
and systematic physical examination of
school children to determine which ones
are undernourished SO that the health
officer would be guided in the proper
distribution of free food.
Representative Mcleod pointed out
that his bill authorizes the health Off
Ger to purchase, prepare and distribute
such food as may be necessary in such
manner as his professional judgment
determines Is most desirable, whether
under contract or otherwise.
This measure directs the District
Commissioners to appoint such addi-
tional medical inspectors as may be
necessary to perform the duties i'm
posed by this legislation. The salaries
OF such extra employees, as well as the
cost of food, would come out of the
$4,000 authorized to be appropriated.

COL. HODGES LAUDS
RED CROSS WORK
Reports to President Relief
Program Is Being Efficient
Iy Administered.

Col. Campbell B. Hodges, military
aide to President Hoover, who returned
to Washington yesterday from the
drought-stricken area in Arkansas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, report
ed to the President that careful sur
vey of that section disclosed the Ameri-
can Red Cross work was being admin
stored in an efficient manner.
Col. Hodges made this survey with
Oliver S. Wood and Capt. Louis A. Pick,
U: S. A., who returned to Washington
with him. According to Col. Hodges
report to President Hoover, substantial
relief is being extended to those IN need
of food and clothing and due precau-
ton is being taken to prevent imposl-
tons by those not actually in want.
Some Impose on Relief.
He reported that unfortunately there
are a number of persons applying for
aid who are not really in need, which
necessarily makes careful inquiry .neceS-
sary.
He reported also that relief is given
first on an emergency basis and the
inquiry made afterward
The fact that some people are loath

accept aid only after the Red Cross
has called on them and insisted they
do so has been one of the difficulties
of the relief work, Col. Hodges found
Chapters Held Thorough.
Cash grants for relief have been
made in every county where distress
exists" Col. Hodges reported. THESE
grants are ample to supply adequate
relief, and the local Red Cross chapters
are attending to their part OF the Jor
in a very thorough and conscientious
manner with a very few exceptions
and those exceptions are on the side
of lack of care to prevent abuse.
quite a number Of people. who are
lived very poorly are better of with the
Red Cross relief than they are &C
customed to be. With the openins
up Of farm work and the re-establlsh-
ment of farm credit the task OF the
Red Cross should be materially re.
