Maryland u. Police ChiefEnjoys
Fame as Students Dutch hUncIe
Campus 'Mr. Anthon,
Ends 16 Years as,
Head Of Department
By Gene Goodwin

Daniel B. Wiseman this week
rounds out 16 years as chief of
University of Maryland police and
Dutch uncle" to hundreds of
former and present Maryland
students.
There were but 1900 students
on the College Park campus when
Chief Wiseman Joined the univer-
Isity's two-man police force in 1886.
Today, the 42-year-old officer
heads a force of seven uniformed
men, four night watchmen, two
Ifull-time desk clerks and six part
time students. He and his men
police small community of 10000
students and about 1000 teachers,
administrators and other univer-
sity workers.
But Chief Wiseman enjoys his
greatest fame, not for the eff
cheney with which he directs his
small department, but for the
many times he has been a sort of
unofficial chaplain for students in
one jam or another.
Over the years, students have
brought problems of all descrip-
tions to the chief. They range
from requests to fix tickets to
questions of marrying.
Many have turned to him for
financial help, he said, and of the
hundreds of personal loans he has
made to students in need, only
two small ones were never repaid.
Since the war brought married
students to the campus, Chief
IWiseman's counseling service has
had to branch out to cover marital
troubles.
When the young people ask
me about their domestic problems,

same as I would my own chill
Idren," said the chief, who is the
father of 21-year-old married
daughter and a 2-year-old baby
girl, and the grandfather of a g.
year-old boy.
In addition to his counseling
and his campus police work, which
sometimes reaches staggering pro-
portions when the popular Mary
land football team is playing a
home game, Mr.. Wiseman has two
big extra-curricular projects.
One is police school for State,

For 9 Who Broke Out
Of Mental Hospital
BY the Associofed Press

PETERSBURG, Va, Jan. g.
State police searched the Peters,
burg area today for 9 patients
who made spectacular night
escape from Central State Hospi-
tai.
In all, 13 broke out of the Negro
mental institution, but three were
returned to the hospital by a
private citizen and one was cap
tured by Colonial Heights police
Hospital authorities said the
break occurred in the ward for
the criminally insane. But they
added that none of the 13 were
classed as violent patients.
Sawed Window Bar.
The break occurred shortly
after the patients had returned
from supper. A bar was sawed
out of a first floor window and
the men dashed a half mile
across the hospital grounds and
disappeared.
A spokesman said he believed
it likely visitor had smuggled
a blade to one of the inmates
He said attendants have, in the
past, found blades which have
been brought in by outsiders.
October Break Cited.
On October %, Herbert john
son fled the hospital and holed
himself up in a nearby house
When w. H. Simpson, State Po-
lice investigator, went to get the
37-year-old patient, johnson shot
the officer to death with one blast
from a shotgun he found i'm the
house.
About 100 policemen pumped
ammunition into the dwelling fol-
six hours before finally killing the
berserk escapee.
Citizens in the area demanded
that a high wall be erected about
Central State. The State Hospi-
|tal Board, however, turned thumbs
down on the request.
DR.. Joseph Barrett. Virginia. Z
hospital commissioner, said the
State wished its mental hospitals
to resemble prisons as little as
possible.
