MRS. VAN W|NKLE
UNABLE TO APPEAR
Police Surgeons Affidavit
Given to Court in Suit.
Smoot Introduces Bill.

Although recovering from a recent
illness, Lieut.. Nina c. Van Wrinkle,
head of the Woman's Bureau Of the
police department, is not physically
able to appear in court, according to
an affidavit filed in District Supreme
Court yesterday.
The affidavit, made by DR.. John A.
Reed, police surgeon, also said it would
materially retard Mrs. Van Wrinkles
recovery to take deposition from her
at this time.
The statement was filed in connec-
ton with a suit for damages brought
against Mrs. Van Wrinkle by Mrs. Ethel
Clawans, who says false entries were
made on an arrest card when she was
taken into custody several years ago.
The affidavit said Mrs. Van Wrinkle
is suffering from spinal arthritis and
that it is frequently necessary to ad-
minister opiateS to relieve her suffering.
said last night that Mrs Van Wrinkle
has shown marked improvement lately
and that she had no intention of ask
ing for retirement.
Meanwhile a measure which Mrs
Van Wrinkle has been urging for several
yearS-that defining the status and du-
ties Of the Woman'S Bureau as a per-
manent branch of the Police Depart
ment and providing that the director OF
the bureau be given the rank of an as
SiStant superintendent of police-was
introduced in the Senate yesterday by
Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah,
1t was referred to the District Commit
tee for report.
The measure sets forth that there
shall continue to be a Woman'S Bureau
in the department, to perform its pres
,ent duties or such others as the Com
missioners may determine
Provides for Men to Aid Bureau.
The bill stipulateS the director would
have to be woman trained in social
work. who would have the rank and
gay of an assistant superintendent. It
also provides for five woman assistants
as follows: One as assistant director
with the rank of captain; one as case
supervisor, who would be lieutenant
and three with the rank of sergeant
one for each eight-hour period of duty
The staff of the bureau could be in
creased, as Congress may provide, and
the superintendent is authorized to
assign men to the bureau from the
regular force as may be necessary.
The bill states that officers and mem
bers of the bureau and other officers
and members of the force shall, &C
cording to period of service and CLASH
fication, be upon the same footing.

FREE CAPITOL GUIDES
URGED BY COCHRAN
Missouri Representative Terms
Situation Outrageous" c1d
Petty Graft"

Representative John j. Cochran of
Missouri will ask the House Committee
on Accounts to consider introducing a
bill providing for the establishment OF
a free Capitol guide service, he an
nounced last night.
Terming the guide situation in the
Capitol Outrageous" Cochran charged
that Congress, in making citizens pay
for the privilege of inspecting the
Capitol, "condones the worst form of
petty graft"
Under the present system he point
ed out. 'an individual is charged 25
cents by the guides. Even school chill
dren, who come in large groups, are
charged Is cents each.
Such system cannot be defended
and our citizens, while praising the
guides, complain bitterly against such a
practice. The petty graft must he elm
mated before the millions of visitors
come here for the Bicentennial, or Con-
gress will be made ridiculous-and very
properly so,'

D. {. WILL SKFUND
FOR SPECIAL. POLICE
Trained Men for Protection
OF BiCentenniaI Visitors
Will Be Brought Here.

The Metropolitan Police Department,
it was learned yesterday is planning to
ask Congress for an appropriation for
the employment of special policemen
to protect the thousands of visitors ex-
pected in Washington this year for the
major events of the George Washing
ton Bicentennial celebration,
In cooperation with the District
George Washington Bicentennial Com
mission, officials of the Police Depart
ment are working out detailed pro-
gram for handling the crowds and pro-
tecting visitors against dips" conf
dence men and bandits.
Instead of employing men unframed
in police work as special officers, 1t Is
the plan of police officials to seek the
services of members of the Police De-
partments of Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Richmond, Wa plan adopted
during the last presidential inaugural.
Officers recruited from these cities will
be paid, and because the Police De-
partment lacks funds to employ extra
men on a part-time basis, a special
appropriation will be necessary.
Police officials believe the regular
force will be capable of protecting Wis
itors, except when special events at
tract an unusually large number. The
first of these will be the dedication of
the new Arlington Memorial Bridge
and the Mount Vernon Memorial High
way February %.

BLADENSBURG ROAD
HELD IN GOOD SHAPE
Whitehurst Says Recent Slides
Were Expected in Section
Given Temporary Paving.

The new section of New York avenue
northeast from Florida avenue to Bla-
densburg road is not in a serious con-
dition, despite several recent earth
slides, it was announced yesterday by
Capt. H. G. Whitehurst. chief engineer
and co-ordinator of the District.
The last and most destructive slide
occurred last week while Capt. White
hurst was in Detroit attending the an
nual road show of the American Road
Builders Association. Upon his return
he made an immediate investigation.
All of the slides, Capt. Whttehurst
pointed out, occurred along the two
thirds of a mile macadamized stretch
where trouble was anticipated in view
of the condition of the soil. For that
reason. he said, this section of the road
was given a temporary macadam in
stead of a concrete surface
The upper stratum of the soil con-
sists of mixture Of gravel and clay
and the lower stratum a blue clay
which Capt. Whitehurst declared
creates condition for slide.

D. {. FOR SOLVING
BRIDGE QUESTION
"No Mans Land" at Virginia
End Cause of Legal
Uncertainty.

The District Commissioners would
welcome some solution of the problem
as to Just who has jurisdiction over
the territory around the Virginia ends
of the Highway and Francis Scott Key
Bridges, as suggested by Lieut.. Col. U.
S. Grant, Sd, to Congress Friday. Col.
Grant suggested giving control to the
District Commissioners.
Speaking from the police standpoint,
Mai. Gen Herbert B. Crosby, Commits
sioner in charge of the Police Depart
ment, said today, that he did not care
who got the jurisdiction so long as
somebody was responsible for these ter
ritories There is a great deal OF legal
uncertainty as to where the jurisdic-
ton lies.
Problem of Boundaries.
The problem of the Highway Bridge
is one of boundaries. 1t has never
been determined officially exactly where
the boundary between the District and
Virginia lies, and it is understood that
the Justice Department has plans
under way to file suite to acquire title
of certain of these lands in District
Supreme Court and if necessary, in
the Virginia courts This will eventu-
ally result in an official adjudication.
The Key Bridge problem is more diff
cult. There, the State of Virginia
ceded jurisdiction to certain territory
in the State of Virginia to the United
States, and Congress subsequently
passed an act giving the District Com
missioners police powers over this ter
ritory. Corporation Counsel William
w. Bride has ruled that this act is in
operative, inasmuch as it sought to ex-
tend police regulation beyond the ter
ritorial boundaries of the District.
No Mans Land Strip.
Thus, between the end of the bridge
and the beginning of the portion of
Virginia where the State has full juris-
diction, there is strip Of no mans
land, where apparently there is legal
jurisdiction neither in the United
States. the District or the State of Viz
GINA.
The practical result of this so far
has been that acting on Mr.. Brides
opinion, the District police force has
been forbidden to make arrests beyond
the high-water mark, and there is no
other police force to make such arrests.
