DOUGHERTY GIVES POLICE PROCEDURE Informs 301;7){ Action Against Members Charged With Intoxication. The procedure followed in dealing with members of the police force charged with intoxication or drinking was outlined by Commissioner Dough- erty today in a letter to Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, and a member of the District committee, The Jetter was in reply to one from Senator Jones, in which he advocated dismissal of -any member of the force found ing. Senator Jones took the posi- tion that policemen guilty of this of- fense should not be retained as law en- forcement officers. Commissioner Dougherty said in his answer that no member of the depart- ment can be removed without a trial, exu,,p'. those serving on probation. “You are further advised,” the Com- missioner_continued, “that no member of ‘the Police Department is merely suspenZed for a while and then restored to duty for this offense. The procedure is follows: When a member of the Police Department is found drunk, un- der _the influence of intoxicants or to have been drinking intoxicants, if the circumstances justify, he is suspended from duty without pay pending a hear- ing his case before the trial board, as led for by the above act of Con- gress. If he is adjudged not guilty, he is réstored to duty and paid for the time he was ; if he is found guilty and fined or removed from the force, he loses all pay for the time he L was suspended in addition to whatever sentence that may be imposed.” Commissioner Dougherty also quoted a section of the police manual which says that members of the force may be remeved for drinking intoxicants or be- ing under the influence of intoxicants.

Retort of “Shut Up” By Woman Silences Traffic Policeman Officer Only Able to Stare as‘Pedestrian Continues Jaywalking. H. D. Johnson, traffic policeman at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, is beginning to realize that this Is a tough world. Last week a Virginia motorist ran into him and yesterday he had & “run-in” with the middle-aged woman pedestrian, which promised to be_more serious, Between intermittent glimpses through traffic he beheld a woman approaching his stand at the center of the intersec- tion diagonally from the District Bulld- Ing. ~ Horns sounded, brakes were ammed on, motorists yelled. With ead_erect, apparently unmindful of everything around her, she kept on her course. As she drew abreast of the of- ficer, he attempted to halt her with the usual advice. “Stick to the white lines” he said. ir,” she replied, “I've been walking on these feet for 42 years without any “T wasn't trying to—" ,” ordered the jaywalker. Johnson was only able to stare. After a while his countenance began to redden, and from then until he re- tired from his post at the end of the theatér rush hour it was “just too bad” for the male motorist who came near Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue with one light. = reslal BAN NEWS.

By Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va, January 9.—The | most unusual situation that exists with respect to the judiciary of Northern Virginia will receive the consideration of the Democratic caucus when it meets this afternoon to act upon the nomina- tion of the various judges who have received recess appointments by the governor. |~ While the most important nomina- tions are the two recess appointments to the Virginia Supreme Court of Ap- peals, it so happens that every judge sitting on the bench in the northern section of the State must be elected to_hold the post that he now occupies. This situation was brought about by | the_death, since the last Legislature, | of Judge Samuel G. Breni of the six- | teenth judicial district, which comprises | Alexandria and Arlington, Pairfax and Prince William Counties, and of Judge George Latham Fletcher of the twenty- | sixth judicial district, comprising Lou- | doun,” Fauquier and Rappahannock | Counties. | "As a result of the death of these | two men, Judge Howard W. Smith was | appointed to the sixteenth district, | Judge J. R. H. Alexander to the twenty- sixth district and Judge William P. | Woolls to the Corporation Court of Alexandria, and must now be elected | to retain their positions. Judge Woolls | was appointed to take the place of Judge Smith when he was elevated. While none of these appointments is contested, the law of the State pro- vides that the terms of recess appointees | expire 30 days after the convening of | the next General Assembly following their appointment. The General As- sembly has the exclusive power to elect judges, the governor making only such appointments as are required between sessions, and the General Assembly could refuse to elect any candidate pre- viously appointed. - Down from Canada came Tales of a Wonderful Beverage YeARs ago visitors came back from Canada and said, “We were served a wonderful ginger ale, exquisite in flavor, dry, a bouquet like a rare old wine.” When they visited with friends in the Houses of Parliament they had drunk it there. Stopping at famous hotels in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, they had seen it gracing many tables. It was a general favorite. Curiosity grew about the flavor, aroma and deliciousness Their friends would ask,“Isn’t there some way we can get this ginger ale in this country?” But the answer was always “No, you can't.” Finally this wonderful beverage was brought to this country. That event was in 1922, Immediate success awaited this beverage in the United States Today, 1930, “Canada Dry” is known the wide world over. “Canada Dry” has basic excel- Ience. -Its very foundation is “Liquid Ginger” ~—which we make from selected Jamaica gin- ger root by a special process. This process is exclusively controlled by us, and, unlike any other method, retains for “Canada Dry” all of the original aroma, flavor and natural essence of the ginger root. A special process of car- bonation enables “Canada Dry” to keep its eparkle long after the bottle is opened. In quality, in purity, and in the witchery of its matchless flavor, this marvelous beverage is indeed the Champagne of Ginger Ales. ‘CANADA DRY" Beg. U. 8.
