Turnage to- @2y announced that he would issue no more warrants for illegal sale of liquor tinless the informer who made the pur- ehase was “covered” by the police or Pprohibition ager Because of the large number of perjury cases in which Police informers have been found to have sworn to untrue statements, Com- missioner Turnage and police officials have decided that the agents must actually see the “stool pigeon” enter the \premises before a warrant for illegal sale will be issued.

Later “the Bishop” iook over the old stand of Scl Clark, at Seventh and G strects, later the hotel would inquire as to the health of “The Bishop” before registering. His friends who now work behind the bar say that his fame was not confined only to this country. They told today a story of a man on his first visit to this country from Australia who walked into the bar and asked to be presented to “The Bishop,” of whom he had heard so_much. In the past few years *“The Bishop” had been ni failing health, and often spoke to his associates at the bar, which now is a lunch counter, and was under his management up to the time of | his death, of his dread of a lingering sickness that would result in his death. “The grave-diggers are near,” he has | said frequently to them in the past two But through it all he was cheer- He was always ready with a only an Irishman with a store of wis- dom can be, Sizer says. “The Bishop” always wore a swallow- tail coat and was an imposing figure about the bar. He never, in his whole service at the Raleigh, esked for or would take a vacation. Sizer said today that many times he has been invited for a week end or a week or two at the country estates of rich and prominent men who frequented the bar, but he never ac- cepted these invitations and every morning would find him at work. By his labors he sent his two sons through college, one, T. J., to George- town, and John, jr., to St. John's, and both were graduated with hizh honors. In his latter days he and his wife occupied a small apartment in the first establishment wing & DEAD MAN’S RELATIVES 'PROTEST JURY’S VERDICT Maintain Henderson Was Struck With Brick—Police Release Three Held in Case. Relatives of Clarence Henderson, cblored, 24 years old, 42 Florida avenue, who died Wednesday night after a fight at Sherman avenue and Kenyon streets with three other colored men, today protested to police and the district at- torney's office against the release of the other men by a corner’s jury yes- terday afternoon. As a result of an autopsy performed by Deputy Coroner Joseph D. Rogers, who said that he could find no marks | of violence on Henderson's body and that he had died from gastritis and a dilation of the heart, the coroner’s jury held that he had not died from any blow struck in the fight. ‘The police had previously arrested Emanuel Galloway, 23 years old, 1031 Lamont street; Robert Oscar Rollins, 19 years old, 464 I street southwest, and Harry Robinson, 3223 Eleventh street, with' whom Henderson is alleged to have had the fight. Ethel Milligan, colored, 2731 Sherman avenue, accompanied Henderson's rel MENU PEAS tives to police headquarters and the dis- trict attorney’s office. She said that she was present all during the fight and that she saw Henderson struck on the head with two stones.

Judge Approves Plan. Are Always Good. You Will Like Them. Ask Your Grocer. JAMES M. DENTY Wholesale Distributor COMPANY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA The plan has the substautial ap- proval of Gus A. Schuldt, presiding Police Court judge, who declares all the ‘judges in his court have long felt the present system is unsatisfactory. Judge Schuldt believes it is a matter the Police Department should handle, and suggests that a satisfactory solution might be obtained by employing the police themselves as informers. The police in one section of the city are usually unknown in another, and the judge thinks men might be trans- ferred temporarily from their regular recinct to some other for this work. hen, too, he points out, new men are constantly coming on the force, who might be able to do the work quite satisfactorily for a while in any pre- einct. * Commissioner Turnage's suggestion was occasioned by the case of Milton F.

The charge was placed following a hearing before the commissioner at which Mrs. Lovena Odell of 1416 Sixtecnth street proved she was out of town at the time Lee swore he made a “buy” from her. The commissioner believes the sys- tem he proposes would not result in an Hundreds more of the friends of what his friends of today called “the good | old days” went before John. In latter | years “the Bishop” had been greatly saddened, his friends say, at the loss almost daily of some one whose life he had helped brighten or who had helped brighten his life. Today L. E.
