COLLINS |NFAV0R
OF POLICE BUILDING
To Support Commissioners
Plan to Provide Fund
for Headquarters.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Chairman Collins Of the House sub
committee on appropriations gave his
assurance yesterday he would sup
port the plan of the Commissioners I'd
provide funds in the 1889 budget for
construction of q new building to
house the police departments head
quarters.
1t y the intention of the Commits
sioners to make the new building the
f1rst unit IN the long proposed NUM-
cipal center. Estimates of cost are
now being prepared by the municipal
architects Office.
Collins made personal inspection
of the present headquarters building
at 462 Indiana avenue, and agreed
with Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown it
is totally unfit for further use and a
disgrace" to the Nations Capital
The Commissioners propose to make
the new building model for other
police departments of the country.
Aside from modern accommodations
for Maj Brown and his executive
staff, it will contain adequate deten-
ton facilities which the present build
ing now lacks, and up-to-date equip
ment for the Detective Bureau.
Location for Building.
The building is expected to be To-
Gated near the northern fringe of the
Municipal Center area between G street
and Indiana avenue and John Mar
shall place and, Third street. The sec
ond unit, which will be added later
will house administrative officials of
the municipal government and various
agencies now in the District Building
The building in which the police
department headquarters is now 10
Gated was at one time the municipal
building. 1t is six-story brick
structure which police officials feel
is unsafe for continued occupancy.
Suggestions have been made to
the Commissioners as well as Col
Inns that, pending erection of the
new building, the police department
be moved temporarily to the new
police court building in Judiciary
Square. Both the Commissioners and
Collins, however, believe the surplus
space in the new court building will
be insufficient to house the police
department. Tentative plans have
been made to assign the excess space
to other smaller District departments.
Survey of Old Building.
One proposal considered by Dis
trict officials contemplated transfer OF
police headquarters to the old Police
Court Building at Sixth and D streets
when the new building is completed.
A survey of the old building, however
convinced officials it could not be
made adaptable for use of the Police
Department at reasonable cost
The plan now under consideration
Is to turn the old Police Court Build
ing over to the Womans Bureau of
the Police Department, which has
quarters In the old second precinct
station house on Fifth street, between
M and N streets. That change would
take place along with re-establish-
ment Of the old second precinct, which
District officials propose to order in
the near future in response to de-
mands OF various civic organizations

c. v. JOURNALISM
COURSE EXPANDED
Three New Branches Estab-
Iished in Plan for Com
pIete School.

George Washington University has
established three courses this year as
the first step in the formation of q
Division of Journalism, which it is
expected eventually will be developed
into a fully constituted School of
Journalism, it was announced yester-
day.
Eward J. Duffy, former news editor
Of the Washington Bureau OF the As
sociated Press and now on the editorial
stan OF the United States News, has
Joined the university faculty as lecturer

Journalism Survey.
The curriculum this year includes
Journalism survey, with classes sched-
uled on Tuesdays and Thursdays from
5 pm. to $50 PM: pro-seminar in
Journalism, open only to those selected
to serve on the staff Of the student
newspaper, and an advanced course
in modern opinion, scheduled each
Tuesday from $40 pm. to $50 pm.
Cloyd H. Marvin, president of the
university, pointed to the need for
such training in this area in an
nouncing the new work in Journal
ism. He said the nearest institu-
tions OF collegiate standing which
offer courses in journalism are the
University Of Pennsylvania in Phila-
delphia, and Washington and Lee
University at Lexington, Va.
THE journalistic set-up in Wash
ington is ideal for the development
of journalism training" he said. "As
the political capital OF the Nation,
Washington is the center for ma
tional news 1t is here that the
processes Of government actually
transpire, creating news which ap-
pears in the press the country over
Because of this position, in no other
city is there to be found so large
and representative group of the
countrys leading newspaper men.
I'm addition to being the hub of
national news, Washington likewise
presents every other aspect Of news
reporting, the city being laboratory
for local news, and the District of
Columbia laboratory for what else
where would be county or State
wide news. Young men and women
who have lived for a term at the CEN
ter OF Government and undergone
their Journalism training here should
have a background and outlook which
would prove invaluable in active news
paper work"
Experts from the staffs of local
newspapers, press associations and
radio chains will be invited to ad-
dress the Glass in Modern Opinion
which will survey contemporary is
sues in national and international
politics, he said.

Frederick Wagner Marvels Over
Fishing Around Key West Waters

Frederick Wagner, charter mem
Der of the Miami Beach Rod and
Reel Club, said this morning that
he never saw fish strike as readily
and in larger numbers than dur
ing the period he was recently at
Marquesas.
Before leaving this morning for
short visit at Miami and Miami
Beach, Mr.. Wagner said that sew
eral members of the club came
down to join him and his stay at
Marquesas, and although they
could stay but brief time, ex-
pressed themselves as having the
greatest angling experience.
No one who has never been at
Marquesas can picture the eager
ness of the fish in those waters as
evidence by an experience of Mr..
and Mrs. Ernst Schmitz;y who,
with their son. were guests of Mr..
Wagner on his trip to Marquesas,
during the past two weeks.
One afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Schmitz went out in the fishing
launch and within two hours re-
turned with a catch of so. Most
of them were barracuda and none
of them weighing less than Is
pounds. There was one fine am
berjack, several mackerel and
grouper.
Never before had either Mr..
Schmitz or Mrs. Schmitz enjoved
such sport. they said upon their
return to the Paula Louise, and
their only regret was that they
were forced to return to New
York, Sunday afternoon.
