Sullivan’s Cap- tains for Pleasure and‘Real Fellowship. If there ever was a mystery in the minds of Washington children about that blg fellow who wears a blue uniform and carries a club, It will be Solved the day after tomorrow — Tuesday—when a dozen genuine Washington policemen will accom- pany more than 500 children of the District of Columbia on an excursion to Marshall Hall as the guests of The Evening Star Newspaper Company and the Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company. The police are not going down on {the t¥p to maintaln order and throw {gloom all over the kids, but they are golng along at the wish of Maj. police. and The Star, to prove to the childven in their precincts’ nelghbor- . hoods and those fro mthe orphanages that they are as kind, generous and Lig-hearted as old man Santa Claus Here's the whole situation: The Star, Friday, invited the orphans and dependent children of the District to be its guests on the Marshall Hall ex- | cursion. Then Maj. Sullivan was ap- proached with the suggestion that he have each of his precinct commanders pick out & group of deserving chil- dren in his neighborhood. detail a policeman to act as the “daddy” for the party and send them along on the excursion, too. To this, the {mnior responded heartily. Yesterday at 12 o'clock he caifed into his office the precinct captains and explained to them that The Star {was co-operating with the police de- ipartmen: in carrying out his recent request to the polles that they and the children get together and be true, sincere friends. He explained the iplan of the outing, which was unani- mously approved. Busves Are Provided. Tue question of transporting the children to the wharf was then dis- cussed. A representative of The Star {told the meeting that his company would supply the necessary street railway transportation, but the offi- cers declded that the children should be conveyed to the wharf in auto- | mobiles. They agreed that it would {take a number of automobiles to transport the yvoungsters to the berth of the Charles Macalester, but before they had deflnitely decided on how they wers going to get these cars, Capt. Robert E. Dorle, commander of No. 6, said he was reasonably cer tain he could secure the necessary motor busses for the entire crowd.

The District. police virtually ad- mitted last night that all hepe of solving the mystery of who mure dered Barney A. McBride, wealthy Oklahoma oil “operator, whose body was sbandoned on & road in Prince Georges county, rested upon their ability to carry their investigation into the Indian country around Mus- kogee, the slain man’'s home eity. Authority for the District to send several detectives to the western city, where It is now alleged the plot to kill McBride was hatched, has not n, and the police frankly admit that they think there is little tlikelihood of such permission being granted. 3 Interviews with congressmen and and visitors here from Oklahoma have convinced the police that McBride was marl:ed for death when he left Mpskogce to make a tour of Chicago, New York, Atlantic City and Wash- ington. This city was selected as the place to kill him, it fs believed, be- cause his business here would make it easler for the murderers to set their t rap. The alleged “bootlegger” who was heing held at a police precinct sta- tion for investigation was released late yesterday after he had convinced the detectives that he knew nothing about the murder. The police also feel that no other dispenser of illicit liquor could throw any light on the situation, Only two questions regarding Me- Bride’s activities here remained to be answered last night. Where was Mc- Bride the night before he was mur- dered, and who were his friends at the Elks’ Club? The answer to both of these questions, the police believe, may be found in the west, but hardly in Washington. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL SETTLEMENT NEAR Commissioner Rudolph and W. W. Millan /of Board of Guardians to Meet Tomorrow. A definite settlement of the differ- ences between the board of children’s guardians and the trustees of the In- dustrial Home School is expected to follow a conference at the District building tomorrow morning between Commissioner Rudolph and W. W. Millan of the board of guardians. Mr. Millan intimated la: h developments would follow his meet- ing with the Commissioner. For several months the twoshoards have been at odds over the policy of the guardians of taking children from the home school and placing them in private families. Only a few children have been at the school since July 1. For several weeks committees rep- | resenting the guardians and the trus- tees h been conferring in an effort to reach a compromise agreement on the question of to what extent the guardians should use the home school in caring for their wards.
