DUE T0F|LL
VACANCY
TO-DAY
Ex-CommisSioner Pays Visit
to ReicheIderfer, Calls
at White House

Proctor l.. Dougherty, for"
mer District Commissioner,
came into the picture today
as a possible successor to Brig.
Gen. Pelham D. Glassford,
who resigned as police chief
yesterday.
Dougherty spent a major por.
tion of the morning in the office
of DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer,
head of the District Commission.
It was also stated he had been
to the White House during the
day.
/ Action Expected Today
The Commissioners are meeting
this afternoon to discuss a sue
cessor to General Glassford.
Inspector Ernest w. Brown also
is reported to be a candidate for
the job and Inspectors L. I. H.
Edwards and o. T. Davis likewise
have been mentioned. A District
official closely affiliated with the
Commissioners decl ared yester-
day, however, that Davis would
not be appointed.
Brown was automatically placed
in temporary command of the de-
partment following Glassford'S
resignation yesterday. He con-
tends that he is not actively
seeking the Job, although he in
dicated that he would accept it
in the event that it is offered
to him. -
Secretary of Labor Doak is re-
ported to favor the appointment
of Davis. Other political in
fluenceS also are said to be work
ing in his behalf.
Edwards Called Home
Edwards, who left yesterday
on an automobile trip through
Ohio, was halted at McConnells-
vile, Pa, by a telegram and re-
turned to the District. The Com
missioners said the telegram had
not been forwarded at their re-
quest and that Edwards returned
because of family matters.
Commissioner Herbert B.
Crosby when questioned as to
what pressure had been brought
to bear on him to remove Glass
ford replied:
81 received some complaints
from citizens as we always do
about any police officer. The
complaints were not official"
"CUSSED OUT" BY WOOD
Questioned further, however, he
admitted that Representative Will
R. Wood (RD of Indiana, former
chairman of the House Appropria.
tions Committee, had discussed
Glassfords appointment with
him. He said:
wood cuSsed me out for put
ting GlassfOrd in there"
Wood is not the only pron1i-
nent political figure who has in
fluenced the Commissioners in re-
gard to Glassford's removal, 1t
has been learned. For many
weeks many Republican members
of the House and other officials
have sought to have the superln-
tendent removed.
It was decided to wait for an
opportune time. When GlasSford
asked for a transfer of assign
ment for Inspector Frank S. w.

REV. DAVIDSON
UNFROCKED
BY BISHOPS
Ousted Rector of Stiffkey
Shouts q Am Innocent as
Sentence Is Read

NORFOLK, England, Oct. 81
(I.N.S. ).-The ecclesiastical ca
reer of Harold Francis David
son, former rector of Stiffkey
Church, who was convicted by
a consistory court of immoral
conduct, came to an end today.
He was ordered unfrocked and
deprived of his living and emolu-
ments" by the Bishop of Norfolk,
sitting as presiding justice of
high court of sentence in ancient
Norfolk Cathedral.
The bishop and his court as
sembled in the Bauchun chapel
of the eleventh century cathedral
shortly before noon to mete out
sentence to th9 60.year-old clergy
man found guilty of immoral re-
lations with score of London
girls, most of them tea-shop
mattresses.
Appears Suddenly
The proceedings were ready to
begin, but Davidson was nowhere
to be seen. The elderly, dignified
Bishop of Norfolk turned and
whispered to one of his assistants
and a search was begun for the
missing rector.
Suddenly, however, Davidson
appeared. With a dramatic
gesture, he planted himself be-
fore the assembled clergy and in
a loud voice said:
81 am entirely innocent in
the sight of God of any of
these charges"
The bishop then read the sent
ence of the court. He said:
'Tt is The judgment of this
court that this man be re-
moved, debased, and degraded
from the offices of priest and
deacon of the church"
With that, the bishop dismissed
the defendant, but Davidson re-
fused to leave the chapel without
making an answer. AS he started
to speak, the bishop rose and,
followed by his retinue, walked
out of the chapel in formal pro-
cesSion.
AS the procession passed by.
Davidson raised his voice and
Saio:
"The church authorities have
been on trial instead of me. l
shall spend the rest of my life
in attempting to reform the
procedure of these courts"

Chicago, May 20.-R-Episode two
OF Billy Petrolle's and Bat Battalino's
blood and thunder fistic show will be
presented in the Chicago stadium to-
night.
This pair of rough Italian boys
staged episode one in Madison Square
Garden last winter, Petrolle winning
by a technical knockout in the twelfth
and last round. Tonight's showing Is
billed for ten rounds, and both have
made the usual predictions that the
bout will not 60 the limit.
The bout shapes up as another one
Of those Crucial affairs, especially
for Battalino. After very creditable
term as world featherweight cham
pion, the Hartford youngster made a
raid into the lightweight ranks to
knock out AL Singer He tried to take
care Of his featherweight affairs, but
was unable to make the weight for
bouts with Lou Feldman and Freddie
Miller, losing his title by official
edicts Of the National Boxing associ-
alton and the New York athletic COM
mission.
Successes in heavier divisions fol-
lowed until he met Petrolle. Petrolle
almost knocked his nose off. and Ba.
Is back to get even for that one, and
prove that he is still championship
contender.
Petrolle has been washed up two
or three times. but always has come
back just little bit better each time
He never has held a title, the big
reason probably being the fact that
he has not had crack at a cham
pionship. In his latest comeback, he
has won one and lost two with Jimmy
McLarnin. knocked out Billy Town
send, and Justo Suarez. and Eddie
Ran, and stopped Battalino.
Both boxers are after a chance a.
