Wsshington's Wild West Show.

While there was no reason to expect
immunity from such performances, the
robbery of local bank yesterday by a
band of armed men struck the COM
munity with surprise. Such things had
been happening elsewhere, but 1t was
somehow felt that Washington would
be exempted from crimes of this
character. There was, of course, no
reason to expect that. The lawless
spirit knows no boundaries
Now that this has happened,
fortunately without fatalities, the ques-
ton comes squarely: What is to be
done about it? Is it possible to catch
the thieves or to recover the loot? OF
course search is being made. Clues are
being followed The belief is entertained
that the thieves are still in town, per-
haps that they are local men. They
worked skillfully, as though they had
at least carefully rehearsed their parts
in the drama they enacted at Ninth and
East Capitol streets, whether profess
sionals or otherwise.
Just why the raiders chose the par
ticular bank which they attacked is a
question that they only can answer.
They might possibly have secured a
larger gain from another institution,
but it may be that they selected it be-
cause of its comparatively remote posi-
ton, in quiet neighborhood. Or they
may have had intimate knowledge Of
the conditions there by reason of their
own location.
1t is Of no comfort to reflect that
the banks losses are protected by in
sursnce and that the institution will
not suffer In consequence of the raid.
A crime has been committed and if the
perpetrators are not caught and
punished its success will encourage
other crimes, in the course of which
heavy losses will be entailed and quite
probably lives will be lost.

An Ambassadorial Candidate.

Henry P. Fletcher, former American
Ambassador in Rome and more recently
chairman Of the United States Tariff
Commission, is q candidate for ap-
pointment as Ambassador 10 Great
Britain, q post soon to be vacated by
Gen. Charles G. Dawes. In telegram
to members Of the Pennsylvania dele
CATION in the House, Mr. Fletcher says
that he would appreciate their urging
upon President Hoover his appointment
TO the Court of st. James, adding that
the honor Of having an American Am
bassador to Great Britain has not fall
en- to the lot Of Pennsylvania since
before the Civil War days.
Mr.. Fletcher's open candidacy for ap-
pointment to an ambaSssdorial post is
novel But II is certainly no more than
other candidates for diplomatic Office
have done in the past, secretly and
without publicity. 1t is to be hoped
that the publication of Mr.. Fletcher's
telegram to members OF the Pennsyl-
vania delegation in the House will not
initiate against his chances of ap-
pointment. Probably no man in the
country with more experience in diplo-
matte affairs, better versed in the for
eign relations of this country, could be
found for appointment to this most
important post in the diplomatic serv-
ice of the United States. After serving
In the Rough Riders" in the War with
spain, Mr.. Fletcher entered the diplo-
matte service, beginning as second Sec
retary of legation in Havana. Since
then he has held many diplomatic Of
fices, including ambassadorships tc
! Chile, Mexico. Belgium and Italy. II
was during the World War that Mr.
Fletcher served as American Arnbassa-
dor TO Mexico and came into wide
prominence Later he was appointed
Undersecretary of State by President
Harding and helped to reorganize the
foreign service Of the country.
When it came time for President
Hoover to reorganize the United States

Divided Police Responsibility.

Col. Grant suggests as an amendment
10 the pending bill broadening the ad-
ministrative powers Of the Commits
sioners a provision to give the Commis-
sioners police jurisdiction over certain
property and land Of the Federal Gov
ernment lying outside the District Of
Columbia. He prefers, however, that
this suggestion be adopted only if sp-
proved by the Commissioners, preferring
that their views of the matter be given
first consideration.
No matter how the proposed amend
ment is worded-whether it gives the
Commissioners the authority or fixes
responsibility on the park police, who
come under Col. Grants office-defnite
action is certainly needed to clear up
muddled and entirely inexcusable con-
dition. The famous Baker murder case
emphasized the deplorable division Of
authority and responsibility in furnish
ing adequate police protection for only
one of several Federal properties on the
Virginia side Of the Potomac. With the
virtual completion of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge, the increasing patron
age and Importance of the airportS
south of Highway Bridge and the open
ing within short time Of the new
Mount Vernon Boulevard, extensive
areas owned by the Federal Govern
ment are being used by the public with
out any definite arrangements for ade-
ouate police patrol The Mount Vernon
Boulevard itself is to be under the
Jurisdiction Of the park police, but this
fact. considered in relation to the lack
of specific jurisdiction over the bridge
approaches on the Virginia side Of the
rtver-the Highway Bridge, the Key
Bridge and the Arlington Memorial
Bridge-merely serves to emphasize the
existent confusion.
The park police force, an efficiently
administered body concerned princi-
pauy with the patrol of the public
parks, is not primarily constituted for
the prevention and detection of crime.
And when the park police call on the
metropolitan police for assistance out
side the District the question of juris-
diction, as interpreted by existing laws,
leads to confusion. Responsibility Is
divided between Virginia and the Fed
eral Government, and in the case of
the Federal Government, between the
War Department in some areas and
the park police, provided the park
police voluntarily give their assistance.
The matter should be definitely set
tied and responsibility fixed. OF
course, If the Jurisdiction and duties of
either the park police or the metro
poltan police are broadened, the mat
ter of furnishing additional personnel
at some expense, to carry out in
creased work must be considered.

relatives had been doctors and lawyers
for generations. Her family did not
approve the writing propensities which

no encouragement for authorship. Later
