Policeman George 1. Helmuth of the eighth precinct, recently given an exoneration on charges growing out of a visit he was paying at the Better ‘Ole Club the night the club was raided, yesterday was transferred to No. 4 precinct. Helmuth and his friends are disappointed at the action of police officials in directing his, transfer to South Washington, taking it for granted that the move is in- tended as a punishment. It is reasoned by the policeman’s friends that his exoneration by the police trial board, coming without the necessity of Helmuth’s making a state- ment, should have been meant as a complete vindication. Friends are planning to request the Commissioners and Maj. Sullivan to restore ‘him to duty in No. 8, where much of his police duty was per- formed along upper Sixteenth street. .

This requirement is existent in several large cities.” In the operation of a smoke screen, a violation now in effect, prescribing @ minimum sentence of one year, and consequently being prosecuted under the United States attorney’s office, Mr. Given has taken a similar stand. Raymond J. Beavers, arrested on that charge, appeared before Mr. Given and had his case continued until an expert mechanic could examine the defendant’s car and ascertain w hether the machine was really equipped with one. The operation of a smoke screen and the law regarding the require- ment of making garage owners re- p‘ol‘l tu the Police Department any signs of an accident to the car, are the only new regulations now in ef- fect under the provisions of the new bill, according to a decision of Police Court officials. The other changes will be effective about the first of | May.

This will mean that two men will have to be on duty from 10 o'clock in the morn. ing until 11 o'clock at night. This, according to Police Court offictals. will necessitate the appointment of two new men who will go on regu. lar shifts with those mow in office, It is expected that upon the con- firmation of the two new judges, orge H.

It will grant to the company rates slightly lower than those which it originally proposed to put into effect November 1, it is said. The increase will date from Janu- ary 1, =0 that the telephone subserib- er will be required to pay increased sums on bills already paid for serv ices in January and February. Chairman Harold E. West of the commission says all the members of that body are determined to save the telephone subscriber all they can. The commission, says Mr. West, 1 convinced that the decision given by it In the latter part of December, continuing the present rates, repre- sents the proper charge, considering the relations of the Chesapeake & Potomac with the American Tele- phone & Telegraph Co. of New York. But he says the decision of the United States Court, Judges John C. Rose, Morris A. Soper and D.

STEEL PRODUCTS FIRM SUBJECT OF CHARGES The Midland Steel Products Col of Cleveland, Ohio, was named as re- spondent in a complaint issued by the Federal Trade Commission to- day, charging restraint in interstate commerce of the sale and distribution an automotive frame and frame parts, in certain sections of the United States. The company is said to have acquired the stock and business of the Parish & Bingham Corporation and the Detrolt Pressed Steel Co., manufacturers of automobile frames, and then caused the discontinuance of the automobile frame factory!in Detroit. The general effect of the acquisi- tion, the complaint alleges, is to lessen the competition heretofore ex. isting. . WCLINTOCK CASE Crowe Decides to Press for Murder Indictment Against William D.
