HESSE PROPOSALS | (ARE TURNED DOWN D C. Heads Hold Plan for ‘Fixed Penalties Not Needed | for Trial Board Now. The District Commissioners today re- | red back to Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, erintendent of police, his recommen- | ions of last April for the adoption of | d penalties for certain offenses com- {:’11"?(1 by errant policemen, as the mewly created police trial board to which | has been assigned the task of improv- ing discipline in the police froce, went fnto action for the first time. The reorganized trial board, the] Commissioners told Maj. Hesse in a| jmemorandum_attached to his recom- jmendations, makes it unne ary at this time to take such drasiic measures | 1o curb the misdemeanors and illegal acts of a small group of policemen. May Reconsider Later. The Commissioners explained, how- gpver, that should the new disciplinary | tribunal fail to bring about the desired | fmprovement in_discipline after a pro- | Pbationary period of about two months | then they would again entertain the! proposals. Maj. Hesse had asked that the police manual be modified so that dismissal | would be mandatory in cases in which police officers are convicted on serious charges which included drinking either on or off duty, willful disobedience and making* false statements. Policeman R. J. Allen of the third precinct, who created a sensation at a | #pecial 'meeting of the policemens’ | association Wednesday night by attribut- ing present conditions in the depart- ment partially to the shielding by the men of brother officers who violate the v and regulations, it was revealed -, was called before Maj. Hesse yes- ¢ afternoon to explain his state- ments, Report Taken Down. Allen's remarks to Maj. Hesse were| taken down stenographically and will| be studied carefully by police adminis- trative officials. Although the informa-| tion given the police superintendent in| substantiation of his charge was not| made public, belief was expressed that | cases cited by the officer of drunkenness and manhandling of prisoners by his | fellow officers occurred so long ago that the department will be unable to take any _action. Police officials pointed out that Allen did not “get in wrong” at headquar- ters by his fearless and conscientious statements at the meeting. Maj. Hesse said that a policeman “has a right to talk.” J. J. DUNCAN DIES; WAS LABOR CHIEF Well Known Leader Served on I. C. C. Under Wilson Administration, By the Assoclated Press.
