RETIREMENT RULE
CHANGE IS SOUGHT
Mid-City Citizens Would Ex.
tend Limit for Firemen
and Policemen.

The Mid-City Citizens Association,
School. adopted resolution urging the
Commissioners to abolish entirely the
rule requiring policemen and firemen
to retire on reaching the age Of "a
years The rule has been suspended
for one year, and the association asked
that the suspension be made per-
manent. Speakers complained that the
rule when it was effective not only de-
prived the city Of the services OF Of
f1cers at the peak Of their usefulness,
but also added a large burden to the
policemen's retirement fund which
had to be met by the taxpayers.
Oppose Gibson Bill.
The association also adopted reso-
luton opposing the Gibson bill to re-
organize the Woman's Bureau of the
Police Department on the ground that
1t would result in increased expend1-
lures for the department.
Col. William E. Peake, superintend-
ent of the District Jail, described the
work of his institution, saying that IN
the IA years of his service 100000 prls-
oners have been cleared through the
Jail, no one escaping. He showed a
shoe sent to a prisoner with three
hacksaw blades sewn into the sole.
Another of his exhibits was set OF
AL Capone's fingerprints.
Col Peake said that he is opposed
to capital punishment provided that
murderers are given life sentences
without a chance of being paroled.
Vernon Cleaver, former inspector OF
esphalts and cements, urged the sub
stitution of this Office for the division
of tests of the Highway Department.
Mr.. Cleaver said that the former once
had been more economical than the
present organization, and had not en-
gagged in so much duplicate work. The
1884 appropriation bill, as passed by
the House at the last session, omitted
any appropriation for the tests division.
His suggestion was taken under advise
ment by the association.
Urges Trust in Banks.
Edward E. Swan, an official OF the
Central Branch, American Security g.
Trust Co.. urged confidence in the banks
and bankers. He reminded the audi
ence that for many commodities prices
were lower in 1918 than they are to-
day, and yet banks were open and
the country generally regarded itself
as prosperous.
Mrs. Bernice Stoops sang and recited.
Mrs. Genevieve Beckwith accompanied

Doug Fairbanks
To Play Role Of
Marco Polo
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1888. King Features
Syndicate. Incl

HOLLYWOOD, May Is. Re
vealing plans for his new picture
yesterday, Douglas Fairbanks
made one statement that is bound
to create a sensation.
He does not intend to appear
in more than Is per cent of the
film. 1t is possible he will not
appear at all.
Since, in past productions, the
star has been on the screen al
most every minute, the idea
marks a radical departure in his
scheme of picture making.
Doug's Oriental story, known
for the moment as Eternal
China" will have only one char
acter that runs all the way
through. This is the philosopher
Confucius, who acts as a sort
of a chorus. Doug is to play
Marco Polo, who appears only in
the first or prologue section. The
main story is a modern melo-
drama with a setting in Shanghai
and the forbidden city. Only
Chinese actors are to play in
this.
The idea back of the picture is
that China moves in an eternal
cycle-thought, conquest, art, dis
integration, chaos-then back to
start all over again.
Along with ConfuciuS, an
ancient Chinese plow moves
through the film-a log with an
iron spike in the end of it.
Thousands of years ago, the
Chinese titled the soil with this
kind of a plow The same instru-
ment, Doug says, is in use today.
When I talked to him the star
was in a high state Of enthusiasm.
If it continues, he may be off to
China in July or Augustine
time of the year when the air
over there is clearest for photog-
raphy.

Dick Powell Got
His Start as
Choir Boy

"No different than anyone
else" That's Dick Powell'S de-
scription of himself, but his
screen success does not seem to
bear this out.
In his dressing room, eating a
hasty lunch lin a bright red
dressing gown, he described his
early life, how he began his sing
ing career in church choirS in
his home town of Mt. View, Ark.
Always stage struck, he and his
brother performed in most of the
religious institutions, with a syn
agogue or two for good measure.
He collected nickelS for the tele-
phone company as his job till
an orchestra came to town and
took him with them to a Louis
vile CKy) hotel, where he sang
popular classics for the dinner
patrons.
Then he became soliSt in a
theater band there, and when
offered a position in an Indian
apolis musical organization, on
condition that he learn the
banjo, he went right out and
bought himself one and trekked
to Indiana. In a theater in that
city he became introduced to the
master of ceremonies game, and,
in his own words, want so hot"
After a try with his own orches-
ira, he went to Pittsburgh. where,
even though he won't admit it, he
became the towns sensation,
staying there four years.
While in the Smoky City, he
took part in many benefits for
the poor, and further endeared
himself to the citizens. Warner
Bros studio sent a call to him to
take tests for "Crooner." When
David Manners got the part (be-
cause he had already made film
name for HIMSELF, Dick thought
his movie chances we're over-by

trary, he was not Manners sing

River Boat Trip
Proves Popular

The love which Washingtonians
have for boat trips on the Poto-
mac River was adequately proven
the past three days; for the Will
son Line, which began Mt. Vernon

day, has already carried several
thousand passengers.
The trip down the picturesque
Potomac is one of the most "a
nous trips in the world, since
such historic landmarks as Ana.
costa Flying Field, naval sub
marine base, Alexandria, Fort
Hunt, Fort Washington, etc., are
passed en- route. On the moon
light trips these points of interest
are picked up by Jle powerful

"Invited Out"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 22.-United
States Attorney George z. Medalie went
before the New York County grand jury
today to tell of an alleged union be-
tween racketeers and some political dis
trict leaders.
Medalie recently told a Senate sub
committee investigating racketeering
that such q union existed and said he
was ready to 60 before the grand jury
to corroborate his assertion If called.
District Attorney Thomas G. T. Grain
took no action, but yesterday the grand
jury subpoenaed Medalie and an
nounced that its investigation would be
carried on without the presence OF
Grain or his assistants.
Shortly after Medalie reached the
Criminal Courts Building, Grain, his
chief assistant, Albert B. Unger, and
Assistant District Attorney Harold W.
Hastings went into the grand jury
room. They stayed about 10 minutes.

Hastings said he, Grain and Unger
