Naval Officers FFICERS of the Pacific battle fleet. were making an. investiga- tion Wednesday of the alleged beat- ing. administered by city police to James Wallace, 23, sailor from the 8. Newport News. Wallace was arrested at Seventh ave. and Cherry st. by Patrolman J. W: Collins. The police say that Wallace was with two other gobs in a drunken condition and were try- ing to ‘start ‘the motors of three different automobiles and that when Collins approached two of the sail- ors fled. Wallace put up.a fight-and it is admitted that he struck the officer. When taken to police headquarters Wallace was beaten so badly by a policeman, who naval authorities say is Patrolman Dan Hogan, that he was sent to the’ city. hospital and) stayed there for three hours. He was cut and bruised about the head and face. FEUD BETWEEN COPS AND SAILORS w. nips lieutenant, junior grade, of the U. S. S.
