POLICE CRUELTY; PROBE OUTLINED Grand Jury Expected to Take Up Alleged Brutality Tomorrow. The srand jury will begin the In- quiry into alleged ‘“third degree” methods of the police as soon as it disposes of several important cases now pending. Foreman George Vass d today the investigation might be started tomorrow. He will con- fer with United States Attorney Gor- on in reference to the summoning f witnesses and will endeavor to ry _out the instructions of Jus- > Siddons, who referred the mat- to the grund jurors Friday, tell- thein (o make a “thorough, but eful " inguiry. United Stat Attoruey Gordon is ready to give all thé assistance needed by the grand jurors in sum- moning witnes‘es who may be able of alleged brutality of some s of the police department in prisoners. The District Commissioners and Maj. Daniel Sulli- van are a suid to be willing to lend all necossary aid. Bush Tells Story. Assistant United States Attorney Fihelly tried the Bush case, which was the culmination of a number of charges of mistreatment by police which have been made in both criminal divisions of the court since the beginning of the Fall term last month. Bush claimed that he was beaten on four vccasions in an effort to extort a confession from him. Clinton, who was indicted with Bush and who turned “state’s evidence’ and testified for the Government, also said he was beaten and kicked by a noliceman when he declired to talk. Fihelly is expected to tell the grand jurors of that testimony and to bring the two men before the in- quisitors. The policemen named by them will also be summoned, it is expected.

NEW YORK, November 24.—In de- fiance of Bishop Manning of the Protestant Episcopal Church of New York, dancing has been resumed at St. Mark’s-In-the-Bouwerle. A ritual service was he'd yesterday with blue incense smoke ~ spiraling from censers and American Indians In war-path regalia dancing, singing and praying while the organ played like a tomtom. Last March after ‘‘eurythmic serv- ices” by barefoot girls and “aborig- inal rites” Bishop Manning deprived the church of Episcopal visitaiton and miinistration and St. Mark’'s discon- tinued its unique services. After the service yesterday Rev. Dr. Wil'lam Norman the Guthrie, SHOULD ASK PLACEMENT. Supt. Ballou’s Advice to Teachers Denied Salary Raise. Approximately 1,500 District public school teachers who have not received credit for experience before jolning the local schools or before the in- creased salary bill became effective last Summer were urged today by Supt.

DESPITE BISHOP Manning in_Making Use Of Aboriginal Ceremonies to Beautify - Christian Service. rector of the church, said that he had that he disapproved of the Indlan program. He stated, however, that even had Bishop Manning objected “the program would have had to go on as scheduled just the same.” “I am mnot trying to start a con- troversy with Bishop Manning.” the rector continued, “but this is my parish and. I shall be guided by the dictates of my consclence.” “Aboriginal’ rites” were specifically cited by Bishop Manning in his letter of admonition last March. “I am creating beauty,” said Dr. Guthrie yesterday. “There are some who do not want to see beauty or to ve beauty created. They are miss- ing one of the most vital and funda- mental parts of religion.” COOLIDGE MAY NAME EDWARD T. CLARK TO EMERGENCY FLEET POST (Continued from the President, Secretary Hoover and many members of the legislative branch of the Government are mem- bers thereof. Election Heartening. The recent election has heartened considerably those who are opposed to the Government's operating any of the shipping routes. They remember that one of the La Follette planks was Government ownership of the railroads. They are preparing to fight hard to get the ships away from the Government. On the other hand, the tremendous success of the President in that election, places him in a po! tion to bring about more effectually than ever such policy as he believes to be best for the merchant marine. The determination to continue the American flag on the seas is not a myth. The feellng that the merchant marine is to stay is voiced in many gatherings. The question has nar- rowed down to one of polley, and next, mechanics. The President, the hipping Board and Fleet Corporation a condition and not_a theory in dealing with the ships. With the exception of a cou- ple of services which are operating at a profit, and a few more which are breaking about even, the service: now maintained are operating at a loss. This loss mounts into the mil- lons of dollars annually. Col the gress, the Smergency Must Reduce Losses.

Ships do not live for- ever any more than men. Assurances are not lacking that the administration will seek to establish a permanent shipping policy during the coming months. Legislation may Be asked—undoubtedly will be. One of the disadvantages of Government operation is politics. The cry “Take the ships out of politics!” 1s likely to grow and increase the longer Gov- ernment operation continues. In pol- itics jobs and services go. by favor. Politics and politicians are hamper- ing the operation of the merchant marine - today, as admitted by. high officials of the Government. = 3t would ‘be idie to deny ‘that the contest.qver what shall be done with the ships and what shall* be the agenoy -of the Government to handle them, 1_to be found within the Gov- ernment eircle itself. . - President Coolidge a_ year ago de- termined to- place the operation of the merchant fleet under one exec- utive head—the president of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, beljey- ing that such a course meant greater efficiency than having the ships op- erated by the Shipping Board, made up of seven members, differing In politics and views about shipping. He called in the Shipping Board and explained his views to them. Board Keeps Authority. Under the law as it now stands the flect corporation is a creature of the Shipping Board. The board appoints the president of the corporméion. The board agreed to follow out the course outlined by the President. But later it fell back on the wording of the law in drafting a resolution on the matter and held on to its au- thority over important matters of operation. The board insists that it could not do otherwise. Here. in brief, is one plan that is being urged upon the President in dealing with the merchant marine: Complete divorcement of the fleet corporation—the operating end of the fleet—from the Shipping Board.

These are- ‘changes that . would necessitate legisiation. They would, it is believed, be resisted by friends of the members of the Shipping Board. Here again politics bobs up. Very much depends upon how great the influence of the:Ship- ping Board commissioners and the'r friends may be. Showdown Is Forecast. Buch ‘a plan would m to ‘be entlrely. in. harmony -with the policy outlinéd by - the President to the board a year ago, and seemingly ac- quiesced at the time. It is no Secret that the board has hung on to much of its authority, and I have been told by a high official of the Government—who, by the. way, is not connected with either the board or the fleet corporation, that thc board has delayed, If not actually interfered with, many of the proj- ects put forward by the. president of the fleet corporation. It would appear that sooner or later a show- down would come. The Shipping Board, on the other hand, stoutly malntains that it has President for the operation of the ships; that it has been functioning entirely within its rights and as it should. As a matter of fact some of those who have watched the operation of the board and the Fleet Corporation during the last year insist that there has been comparatively little friction, although there have been some differ- ences of opinion expressed. The con- ception has been that the Shipping Board stood as a board of directors, lived up to the plan outiined by the| NOVEMBER 24, dealing with large questions of policy, while the Fleet Corporation attended Cxe 1924. - to the actual details of operation. This plan has to do merely with the mectmnics of operating the Gov- ernment fleet. It is expected that if Congress does legislate on the mat- ter of the merchant marine, it will, at the suggestion of the President, lay down a permanent policy with regard to the ships and make a strong declaration in favor of. the maintenance of an American mer- chant fleet. Other suggestions of reform would place the merchant fleet under the Sec- retary of Commerce, doing away Wwith the Shipping Board, or under the Navy Department,_ as. an auxiliary to - the Navy, aithough maintained ’as com- mercial carriers.” But the. Secretary of Commerce has a very large and {m- portant department already to look aft- er, and the man who has charge of the Government merchant flest has charge of the biggest eingle shipping business Warehouse Ground 4 Acres or Less 400 feet on Macadamized Blair Road, 300 feet frontage on Metropolitan Track, zoned 2d commercial.
