;g: fi FULWE HURTUN GETSPOSTIND.C. Native Washingtonian, With Distinguished Record, Chief of Army Personnel. Orders have been issued by the War Department relieving Col. Willla.u E. Horton, Quartermaster Corps, United States Army, from duty es quarter- master, 18t Corps A.ea, with headquar- ters in Boston, Mass.,, and directing him to report in this city December | 10 for duty in the office ot «he Quar- termaster General of the Army as | chief of personnel service. Col. Horton is a native Washing- tonian, so the orders directing him | to report for duty in this city bring him home. He was long a member of the District National Guard amd served on the staff of Gen. Albert Ordway, who organized and was the fAirst commanding general of the local brigade of citizen soldiery. At the out- break o? the war with Spain he was appointed adjwtant .f the 1st District EVENING STAR, WAAHINGTON, _ STRESS DEMAND FOR FUGIRVE LAW Police Judges and Gthers In- dorse Hesse’s Suggestion to Gibson Committee. It is hoped by members of the Po- lice Department, judges of the courts and others interested in law enf ment that the suggestion of Maj. win B. Hesse, chief of police, to the Gibson subcommittee of the House District committee, relative to the need of a fugitive law in the Dis- trict of Columbia will result in the enactment of such a measure. Lack of such a law, Maj. Hesse pointed out to & Star reporter today, has resuited in many criminals es- caping punishment. Such laws are on the statute books in most every other Jurisdiction in the United States, it is stated, and local police officials many times have had occasion to re- gret their inabllity to hold persons charged with crime elsewhere for a reasonable time. A - .’ MApRis-Ewing, COL. W1iLLIAM E. HURT D. C, WEDNESDAY, stated, always are able to hold crimi- nals for the authorities here, and Maj. Hesse and other officials of the department regret they have no re- ciprocal law on the subject. Police Authority Lacking. In the absence of a fugitive law, it is ‘stated, police invariably do the best they can for police of other ju- risdictions in the matter of holding fugitives. Persons from other sec- tions so arrested have the alternative of applying to the Supreme Court of | the District of Columbia for writs of habeas corpus, and in several in- stances, it is noted, known criminals were discharged from custody as a re- sult of hearings upon such writs. Buch arrests are usually made upon telegraphic or telephonic communica- tion, Maj. Hesse said today, and he suggested that @ 10-day period for holding such prisoners would serve “| the ends of justice. When persons are held for other jurisdictions, he ex- plained, it is necessary to obtain requisition papers from the governors DECEMBER 1, 1926. of the States in which they are want- ed, and this cannot always be accom- plished in a day or two. Maj. Hesse recalled an instance, in which two well known criminals were arrested in this city a number of yeass ago for the Chicago authorities and released on writs of habeas corpus, their counsel arguing that they were being unlawfully detained. They were released, sald Maj. Hesse, while detectives were nearing this city on a train with papers for them, and as soon as they were discharged they were hurried out of the District. Effect of Proposed Law. A law such as Maj. Hesse recom- mends, it is believed, also would prove of assistance to many persons under arrest for other jurisdictions. In in- stances of such arrests, it is stated, there is no provision of law that will enable such prisoners to give bond without golng to the trouble and ex- pense of obtaining a writ of habeas corpus, and a law Maj. Hesse favors Dfihm’ would contain such a pro- vision, Maj. Richard Sylvester, former chief of police, made efforts to obtain the enactment of a fugitive law, it is stated, because of the numerous difficulties he encountered with fugi- tive prisoners. It is the custom of the local authorities to arrest persons for other jurisdictions and surrender them on requisition papers or without going through such formality when the prisoner. willingly returns to places where charges are pending against him. It is the custom of the local police to make one exception to this mode of surrendering persons willing to ac- company police to other jurisdictions, the exception being in instances of prisoners charged with heinous crimes Involving the possibllity of being summarily dealt with by mobs when they reach their destination. In such instances the police always de- mand requisitions from the governors of the States in which the crime is alleged to have been committed. Maj. Lewis M. Adams Retired. Maj. Lewis M.
