BY THE OUT EASTER

We felt sorry when we read of
the recent death of Arthur Var
rington, formerly a Lieutenant in
the police Department. We knew
him from the very first day of his
ppointment, and we liked him for
the many years following.
His death reminded us of the
day Of his appointment, April 16,
1918. That year was one of
history for the Dept, for it was
on August 8, 1913, that Robert P.
Kiersted, better known as Con
KeirSted," was killed when the po-
lice car known as Gar B" hit
telegraph pole in Woodbridge, with
Officer Kiersted as the driver. His
companions were hurt, but not
seriously. -Four nights later or on
August of the same year Patrol
man Dan Lane climbed an electric
light pole on Cooke street in an
unsuccessful effort to get the light
in working order. He received
shock which killed him instantly.
The day in which Arthur was
appointed seven other patrolmen
were named. The first one of the
eight to be balloted for was the
present Supt. Daniel j. Carson.
The second man was James F.
Mulville. They were the selectees
of the leader of the board, who
refused to waive his rights to name
the first two appointees. "It will
be Carson first and Mulville End,
or no appointments at ALL" ruled
the stubborn chairman of the
board, now dead and gone his way.
Arthur Warrington, doorman at the
time, was the third selectee, with
Dan Lane as the fourth man.
Others who followed were John
Madden, James F. Murphy, John
j. Moore and VIM. P. Foley. OF
the eight Arthur was the only out
and out Republican. Lane was
picked by the Republican commits
sioners, to the satisfaction of the
Democrats, because he, too, was
a Democrat.
George M. Beach was the head
Of the police Dept. then, and the
full force comprised eighty men.
1t was in this year that the three
platoon still in effect, was adopted
for the first time, and it was also
the year the late Joseph P. Stew
ems was 11rst ihace GtGect1Ve.
Arthur Warrington served in the
old police headquarters in Har-
rison alley, and also the present
headquarters. Back in his early
days, he spent much of his time in
and about the police garage. His
marked ability as a mechanic, and
his familiarity with the workings
of automobiles made him a valu-
able man for this branch of the
Department. He kept the cars in
good working order, and to do
this, he spent more than the alot-
ted time in the repair shop. A
willing soul, he was always on call,
and never hesitated when one of
the city police cars became stalled.

forces took place, and he went
back to the uniformed branch. AS
desk officer, he was alert and &C.
tive, and in the many trying sit
uations that confronts the man
at the desk, he acted and ruled
in a most impartial manner.
He was solicious of people in
trouble, and never went out of his
way to add to their discomfort.
His judgment, it seemed, to us,
was such that met with general
approval on the part of the police
involved, and the ones brought
before him.
At the police garage, he had a
happy faculty of helping others in
time of trouble with their cars,
not that he used any of the city
time for this, but on the contrary
devoted his own time off duty to
help out some one not too fami-
liar with the work Of repairing an
automobile. Arthur Warrington,
let it be known, never looked for a
penny for any help given. He
often remarked to friends and
acquaintance it was a plea
sure for him to assist, if it were
possible for him to do do so.
Arthur Warrington was out
spoken; he never pussyfooted a
question. If he liked person, he
said SO; and to the few he didn't
like, he let it be known, also. At
heart, he was kind and consider
ate.
What more can we expect Of
anyone.
He died with a number Of good
friends left to join him later.

The appeal is based on the super
ior courts denial of use Of the
funds by the city. Judge Frank P.
McEvoy ruled last year that a trade
school was not the type Of school
contemplated by Mr.. Porter in his
will. Distribution Of the estate to
the heirs was ordered at that time.
The city entered the appeal ac-
ton as party plaintiff but was
dropped from the litigation by the
high court upon a motion from
heirs of Mr.. Porter. The bank
started the suit, as trustee of the
estate, to obtain advice on DISPOSE
ton of the assets.

sented the city in the trial here,

BiddIe S Franco Blast
Raises Speculation on
Scope Of His Role
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

The strong attack by Attorney
General Biddle Oh Gen. Francisco
Franco, Spanish dictator, In con-
nection with the arrest of member
of the Spanish Falange in Puerto
Rico, caused speculation today over
whether Mr.. Biddle had been as
signed the task of speaking ener-
getically about governments follow
ing policy Of dubious neutrality
toward this country, while the State
Department maintains a formal
policy of friendship with them.
Mr.. Biddle, without granting the
Spanish leader the politeness of q
first name or a title, said that
Franco heads the Falange and die
tates its DEGREES" when he an
nounsed yesterday that the Justice
Department had filed suit to. de-
naturalize Isidro Conde Fernandez
in Puerto Rico on the ground he
had become a member of the
Falange The American Govern
ment's policy in the past has been
to separate Franco from direct con-
nection with the Falange.
The attack on Franco and the
Falange followed by two days an at
tack by the Justice Department on
the Vichy government in connection
with the announcement of the sui
eide of Charles Bedaux. In the
background history of Bedaux's
traitorous record the Justice Depart
ment included resume of his rela-
tions with the Vichy regime even
