POLICE SHIFT DUE FOR AL PRECINCTS 119 Members of Department Slated for Transfer by Pratt. The personnel of virtually every police pmmgzem the District will be changed July 1, as a zesult of the latest order of Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of police, transferring 119 men—the largest number ever shifted at one time. The changes were made necessary by the reorganization of the Police De- partment, coupled with the automatic retirement of 18 officers who have passed the maximum age limit of 64. Maj. Pratt’s order came as a sequel to the action of the Commissioners, who yesterday put the finishing touches | on the police reorganization plan by -ppmvm:)o the promotion of 11 officers. The only unit of the department not affected by the shake-up is the Wom- an’s Bureau, but this was not unusual, as no attache of this bureau has been promoted in the last 10 years. Three Captains Shifted. Three police captains will get new assignments under the transfers. Capt. ‘William E. Holmes of the eleventh precinct will take command of the first precinct, succeeding Capt. Frank S. W. Burke, who becomes chief of detectives with the rank of inspector. Capt. Hugh Grove of the second precinct will move to the eighth precinct, and Capt. Wil- liam G. Stott of the sixth precinct will g0 to police headquarters and take charge of police property and uni- forms. Lieut. F. M. Dent, who becomes a captain July 1, will take command of the eleventh precinct, but his reign there will last but 11 days, as he is slated to be retired July 11. Sergt. ‘Thomas McGrath, who becomes a lieu- tenant July 1, also will have a short tenure, as he is scheduled to be re- tired July 10. New Detectives Added. The ‘make-up of the headquarters detective squad will not be materially changed. Aside from Burke, the new detective chief, only three new members are added to the bureau—Lieut. Rich- ard Mansfield, Lieut. John E. Fowler and Prvt. Herbert G. Wanamaker of the first precinct vice squad. Lieut. Fowler is the ballastics expert of the department and he will go to head- quarters from the tenth precinct. Lieut. Mansfield is now at the fifth precinct. Other lieutenants involved in the changes are Frank Varney of the first precinct, who will go to the third pre- cinct; E. L, Eby of the sixth precinct, who moves.to the seventh, and John T. Wittstatt, who goes from the second to the tenth. Changes Completed. ‘The complete list of changes follows: ‘The complete list of assignments as follows: \ Assistant Supt. W. S.

ALEXANDRIA, Va,, June 1 —'l'hf restored ccurtyard of historic Gadsby's Tavern wes dedicated here yesterday afterncon, when a stone tablet was un- velled by Mrs. Leslie R. Gray, president of the Garden Club of Virginia. The courtyard has been restored by the Garden Club of Alexandria, of which Mrs, Frank Mason Dillard is president. Bricks from the ruins cf Abingdon and flagging and cobblestones laid in the streets of this city by Hes- sian soldiers two centuries ago have been used. The tavern was described as the build- ing, which next to Mount Vernon is most_clcsely associated with th> career of George Washington, by William Buckner McGroarty, president of the Washington Soclety of Alexandria, in the principal address. Land But an Infant. “Those nations which have most jeal- cus'y guarded and preserved their pi less relics,”. Mr. McGroarty said, “are the ones that stand in the forefront of the affairs of the world today. Our land is but an infant compared in cénturies with those across the sea and yet suf- ficient time has elapsed to endcw us with landmarks of our own,” he said. “Gadsby’'s Tavern,” Mr. McGroarty stated, “is one of the most celebrated structures in the United States, not alone for the events which have tran- spired within its ancient walls, but also because of its assoclation with th: ca- reer of Washington.” “Here,” he said, “the first decisive st'p towards the creation of the Con- stitution as well as the first celebra- tion of its adoption took place. The tavern, bullt in 1752, is being restored and preserved in & manner entirely fit- ting and to the great satisfaction of students of history,” he stated. Local Club Praised. Mrs. Gray, who is also & member of the Dolly Madison Garden Club, and who came from Orange, Va. for the ceremonies, paid tribute to the work of th> local club for its work in restorin, the garden. Mvs. Dillard, for th: local club, turned the garden over to F. Clin- ton Knight as a representative of the Citizens’ Committee and the American Legion. In accepting the restored garden, Mr. Knight paid tribute to the late former Mayor Robert S. Jones, for his work in connection with the restoration of the tavern. ‘The c:remonies, which were held in the courtyard, were opened by a prayer by Rev. Willlam Jackson Morton, rector of Christ Episcopal Church. The stand- ards of the American Legion, consisting of an American Flag an dthe Legion banner, flank-d the restored tablet. Following the exercices those present were served with iced drinks and sand- wiches and made an inspection tour of the bullding.

President Hoover's proposal for re- vision of the !;:uont tax u:'llm banking system brought specula here on Whether a d=0n|t¢ move toward such legislation would be made at the next Congress. ‘The Chief Executive’s recommenda- tions were voiced at Indianapolis last night in an address devo the business depression. ¢ Previously, Secretary Mellon and Un- dersecretary Mills, had advocated re- vision of the tax laws. Bingham Approves View. Approval of the Hoover address was expressed by Sel Conn publican, Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas, criticized it for falling to give definite recom- mesndations. President Hoover said the Federal Re- serve system was inadequate to prevent diversion of funds into “wast:ful spec- ulation and stock promotion” and that the banking system must “be organized | 1 to give ater protection to depositors ailures.” “We must determine whether the facilities of our security and commodity exchanges are not being used to create illegitimate speculation and intensify depressions.” Another of his assertions was “that our taxes upon capital gains viclously promote the booms and just as viciously intensify depression.” Summing up. Mr. Hoover said the experiences of the depression “demand that the Nation carefully and deliberately reconsider the whole na- tional and local problem of the inci- dence of taxation.” Would Promote Business. Bingham said he favored elimination of the capital gains tax on the ground that such action would promote better business conditions and increase the in- come of the Treausry. “It (the tax) tends to promote exag- gerated values and losses on the stock market,” he said. “A rich man is not going to sell out at a largs proit if a considerable portion of the money has to go to the Government. Elimination of the tax would tend to prevent sky- rocketing.” He expressed the hope an increase in taxes would be unnecessary. If that is necessary, he favored spreading out the taxes to include a larger number of persons instead of raising the money from a few. st way to get the required home. Later in the evening McBride noticed a slight unevenness in Miss Gauthier's neatly made bed and on in- vestigating found her body, face down. between the two mattresses. It was alme wholly clothed.

A bill to put back a limit —50 miles an hour—was defeafed in the Wisconsin State Legislature this year. Michigan and Missourl got nd of their speed limits several years ago and Tennessee, Mcntana, Florida and—ddly enough—Vermont apparently have never had any. Except in Vermont, a speed limit of 35 or 40 is general in New England. Idaho hasn't any speed limit, either, |but a speed of more than 35 miles an hour when an accident occurs is con- sidered prima facie evidence of reckless driving.
