PLANNED IN BILL Administration Measure To Be Introduced In Legislature.

SCHEME CARRIES RADICAL CHANGES Provides For 400 Additional Patrolmen And 50 Detectives. Draft of a new law governing-the Police Department, which includes a complete reorganization of the police force, has been completed by Police Commissioner Gaither. It is in the hands of Allan II. Fisher and Lindsay C. Spencer, of.

Attorney-General Arm strong's staff, preparatory to being sub mitted to Governor Ritchie Embracing the most sweeping changes in the history of the present police executive and administrative department, the proposed law, it Is understood, will be submitted to the Legislature as an administratioiumeasure. Governor Ritchie, however, will ex ercise nis discretionary authority in provisions of the bill before it is introduced. Important Points In Bill. Important points included in the draft are Abolishment of the rank and grade of marshal of police, deputy marshal and 16 round sergeants. Creation of chief inspector and three deputy inspectors.

Sixteen additional lieutenants to take the places of round sergeants, allowing an assignment of three" lieutenants to a district on an. eight-hour shift. Increase in number of patrolmen by 400, making a totar of 1,350. Addition of 50 plain-clothes men to the Detective Bureau, and placing that and the Bertillon Bureau under the authority of an inspector, who will be charged with other duties pertaining to various branches of the department. Increase of pay for entire uniform force of $200 a year.

Giving the Police Commissioner authority which will eliminate the present rigidness of police assignment in respect to officers of the de- partment. Allowing any member of the department to retire on pension after having served 30 years. All members of the department to be placed under a civil service, with the exception of the chief inspector, who may be returned to the grade of deputy inspector by an incoming Commissioner. Additional Authority Wanted. Additional authority, which also will fix responsibility, is sought for the office of Police Commissioner.

Under the present law the Commissioner has not the authority invested in police commissioners of other cities. According to Commissioner Gaither, there are many sections of the present law which make effective policing difficult. 1 After many conferences with his legal advisers Commissioner Gaither was convinced that the best possible protection could be obtained only through a new police law. In repealing and re-enacting the police measure it has been considered necessary to repeal and re-enact a section of the City Charter which refers to the Police Department. Needed In Sew Annex.

Many of the additional policemen asked for in the draft are needed in the New Annex, while scores of other men are wanted in the traffic division. Scores of corners and dangerous crossings are without traffic policemen during the rush hours. Commissioner Gaither's plan indicates that he proposes to place policemen and sergeants on the streets for actual police service; lieutenants for execution of orders, and captains for posts of responsibility. Instead of having a captain for every district, a captain, at the discretion of the Commissioner, may be given two districts. The inspector will command three districts and form a direct line of contact between the Commissioner and the territory lie commands.

Inspectors will be held responsible to the Commissioner. Includes Trial Board. Another feature included in the draft will be the establishment of a trial board, to be named by the Commissioner. Captains and lieutenants will be assigned for trial board duty. All deci- sions of the board will be subject to ap- proval by the Commissioner.

HOTEL TO RISE ON RUINS OF OLD ML HOLLY INN Ten-Story Suburban Apartment Es-tablishment Planned By New Concern.

CAPITALIZED AT $1,000,000 ttOO Rooms, Dnnclos Space For 350 Conples And Roof Garden Included In Scheme, Baltimore will have a suburban apartment hotel that will be the largest and finest building of its kind in this section, if plans now under way are carried out, it was learned yesterday. The hotel is planned for the site occupied formerly by the old Mount Holly Inn, at Windsor Hill, which was destroyed by fire about a year ago. Preliminary plans for the building have been completed and the working drawings are being prepared. The new building will be a 10-story fireproof structure, to contain more than six hundred guest rooms with baths, a ballroom that will accommodate 350 couples, a dining room with a capacity of 400 persons, bowling alleys and the usual concessions that go with a first-class hotel. Roof Garden To Be Featnre.

A feature of the building will be a roof garden, which will overlook the surrounding country. The site, which is one of the most attractive in the vicinity of the city, is on a high hill, commanding a view of the country and Gwynn's Falls Park. The plan of the rooms is flexible and provides for suites for permanent tenants, both furnished and unfurnished, and single rooms for transient guests. A garage with a capacity of at least 150 cars also is included in the plans. Capital Stock $1,000,000.

A corporation, known ns the Mount Holly Apartment Hotel Corporation, with a capital stock of $1,000,000, divided into 600,000 shares of common and 400,000 shares of preferred, has been formed and now is negotiating a bond issue preparatory to proceeding with the construction of the building. The directors of the new corporation include A. T. Carozza, president; Arthur B. Connelly, vice-president George Browning, secretary and treasurer, and Edwin Brownley.

A majority of the stock has been subscribed, it is said, and every effort will be made to complete the hotel by next fall. The plans are being prepared by Frederick A. Fletcher, architect. FAKE RAID FRUSTRATED Woman Telephone Call Scares Two Alleged Revenue Agents. Attempting to search the near-beer saloon and living rooms of Samuel Bernstein late last night, two men, representing themselves as prohibition agents and displaying "fake" badges, were frightened away when Bernstein's wife telephoned the police.

The pair, hearing Bernstein at the telephone, drew pistols and covered Bernstein while they backed out of the hallway. They then jumped into an automobile and disappeared. Bernstein and his wife had closed their store when they heard a rapping at a. side door. Bernstein opened the door and was confronted by the two men, who said they intended to search the' house.

They displayed shields and announced that they were revenue officers. Bernstein admitted the men and spoke to his wife in German. She called the Northeastern District Police Station and Sergeant Delaney, with Patrolmen Mahoney and Howe, soon arrived. Bernstein and his wife were able to furnish a good description of the two men. CHOKED BY NEGROES Pedestrian Reports Attack And Robbery On Street At Xigrht.

John August, 1205 "West Lanvale street, while walking on Mosher street at Shields alley last night, was held up by two negroes, who choked and beat him to such an extent that he had to be taken to Union Memorial Hospital.

SCHWAB SCHWAB AND GRACE DUE TO ARRIVE HERE TODAY Bethlehem Steel Heads To Remain Two Days For Plant Inspection And Launching-. MRS. SCHWAB TO BE SPONSOR Believed Magnate AVill Announce Plans For Baltimore Dry Docks Property. Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the board of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, with Mrs.

Schwab and Eugene G. Grace, president of the corporation, will arrive in Baltimore this afternoon for a two-day stay. Tonight Mr. Schwab will be entertained at a dinner given in his honor. Tomorrow at 1.30 o'clock Mrs.

Schwab will christen the combination oil tanker and ore vessel Bethore that will be launched at the Sparrows Point yards of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation. This will be the first visit of Mr. Schwab to Baltimore since his company acquired the plant of the Baltimore Dry Docks and Shipbuilding Corporation, and it is anticipated that he and Mr. Grace will devote a large part of their trip to an inspection of the property. No announcement has been made by Mr.

Schwab of his plans for its future development, and it is regarded as likely he will make some statement along these lines after his inspection. The vessel for which Mrs. Schwab will be sponsor is being built for the Ore Steamship Company, a subsidiary of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and will be used in carrying ore to be smelt ed at the Sparrows Point plant. The only other vessel of the same type that is as large is the Harrison Smith, the vessel launched last July at Sparrows Point for the International Petroleum Company. At the Baltimore Dry Docks yard a tanker, which has not been named, will be launched in January At the office of W.

Investigation by the Bar Association of E. J. Wiley's charges against City Councilman Wilson J.

Carroll will be hpll hehind closed doors because "the association is investigating Mr. Carroll as a lawyer and not as a City Council man," Edward Duffy, chairman of the organization's grievance committee, saia yesterday. The committee will meet today at Mr. Duffy's office in the Continental Building. Mr.

Duffy said that he did not know whether other persons, indirectly connected with the case, will be present at the meeting. The principals, he said, have agreed to appear, and he presumed that each would have witnesses. He said that he knows but little of the case except what he has heard indirectly. The results of the investigation of the grievance committee will be sent to the executive committee for action. The grievance committee, however, may make recommendations concerning this action.

"We are investigating Mr. Carroll as a lawyer and a member of the association and not as a City Councilman," Mr. Duffy said. "That is why the meeting will be private." "You mean that the public should not be interested in your investigation?" he was asked. "I have nothing more to say to you," Mr.

Duffy replied. SALESMEN TONIGHT MEN OF THE EIGHT CALIBRE ARE OFFERED Firnt A thorough course in salesmanship, and- Second Profitable positions while they are in training.

APPROPRIATION IS REDUCED Amount rXamed For Xext Year First Quarter Is Only $140,000, Ball Explains. Twelve men, constituting the Fire Department of Camp Holabird, yesterday were relieved of their duties and eight men of the city force, including Lieut. -Benjamin F.

Maaser, of Engine Company 22, were sent to the camp by Fire Chief Emrich to take their places. The Holabird men were discharged as a part of a general army plan to reduce expenses. George E. Ball, in command of the camp, said the appropriation for Holabird for the first quarter of next year is $140,000, as compared with $250,000 for the first quarter of this year. To keep within the allotment, Lieutenant-Colonel Ball explained, the force at the camp had been gradually reduced.

The cuts have been made chiefly in the clerical force, he said. The number of men working in the repair shops has been affected slightly. The men sent down yesterday by Chief Emrich will occupy the quarters of the Camp Holabird Fire Company until the new engine house being built near the camp by the city is completed, about March 1. This is one of five being constructed in the new Annex. The army is lending the city the fire apparatus, which, Lieutenant-Colonel Ball said, is modern and complete.

NEW TRIAL ASKED FOR SMITH Plea Made For Negro Convicted Of Shooting Miss 31. D. Lyon. Motion for a new trial in the case of Samuel Smith, colored, convicted by Judges Gorter, Duffy and Bond of shooting Miss Martia D. Lyon after attempts, to criminally assault her, was filed in the Criminal Court yesterday by Warner T.

McGuinn, colored, attorney for Smith. The motion was purely formal, merely stating that a new trial was asked because the verdict was against the evidence, because the evidence was insufficient to sustain the verdict, and for newly discovered evidence. It probably will be heard at a meeting of the Supreme Bench before the Christmas recess. The Supreme Bench will meet today, but the record in the Smith case could not be prepared in rime for it. Motions to be heard are for new trials in the cases of Albert Stauffer, convicted of murder in the first degree for shooting and killing Mrs.

Mary T. Gehring on June 19 last, and Melville Butts, colored, convicted of obtaining by false represention $1,435 from Andrew Thompson, another negro, who said he had been hypnotized. CUTS THROAT TO AVOID POLICE m. .1 -mi. .1 .1 1i.ni Man Goes To Hospital Instead Of Cell When Wife Complains.

Rather than submit to arrest when the police interfered with a domestic quarrel, Herman Ide, 525 South Charles street, cut his throat with a safety razor blade yesterday afternoon. Patrolmen Harry Earnest and Richard Ellerd, Southern district, were first attracted to the scene by the man's wife, who demanded his arrest. As the offi cers entered the house Ide slashed his throat. He was taken to the South Baltimore General Hospital where he was treated by Drs. Pokorny and Ben- son.

explained Dr. Mohr. "A force composed of men of assorted sizes neither looks well "nor functions well. It is true that in the recent tests we have eliminated many more men than ever before, but in thetests to come we will eliminate a whole lot more under this height restriction. There are a good many small men on the force now because we needed the policemen badly and couldn't afford to make height restrictions.

But we will not take any more. Five feet eight or nothing The little "cops haven't exactly ruined the reputation of the "runt" forever, though, because Dr. Mohr admitted that some of them had made good records, and that one of the knee-length bluecoats had arrested two great, big detectives some time ago and got away with it- But hereafter the Baltimore cop will be a noble, stalwart creature. And, of course, in addition to being 5 feet 8 from the cowlick down, he must have something besides a third of a cubic foot of bone from the neck up. MISS STONESTREET LOSES HER CONTEST Opp onents Vote, Over Her Protest, To Name Assistant Secretary.

Democratic women, of the Twelfth Ward Clab dealt a body blow to the City-Wide organization, headed by Mrs. ohnson Poe, yesterday afternoon at the close of a meeting at the Hotel Rennert and definitely severed Iheir connection with the organization. And, as if that were not enough, the first public rumbling of the storm which has been rolling up against Miss Henrietta D. Stonestreet for some time, broke, and the opponents of Miss Stone-street won. The decision of the Twelfth Ward Club to leave the City-Wide organization fame as a climax to one of the tamest meetings in the history, of the club's turbulent existence.

The ultimatum which had been agreed upon by the Twelfth Ward Club at its meeting the night before had been taken up by Mrs. Poe and answered categorically, without so much as a whispered comment on the part of the women of the Twelfth ward, who occupied the same seats they had at the meeting which broke up in confusion following their bolt a short time before election. lltimatnm Of Clab. The ultimatum which was tnade by the Twelfth Ward Club was couched in the following terms: After a lengthy discussion by the members of the Twelfth- Ward Democratic Women's Club and its friends as to their future relations with the City-Wide organization it was moved, seconded and carried that the Twelfth Ward Democratic Women's Club and those whose names are appended will remain affiliated members of the City-Wide Club only upon the following condition That the chairman of the City-Wide Club shall state publicly in the tneeting of the club, on Thursday, December 1, 1921, that she will in -the future conduct all meetings of the club according to the manual of rules set forth in Article of the by-laws of the club as governing all proceedings of the meeting of the club. That she will enforce orderliness of conduct on the part of its members and that she will protect the members from the disorder, personalities and otherwise unseemly conduct which has characterized so many of the past meetings of said club.

That she will adhere to the constitution, by-laws and decisions of the club in her conduct of all meters appertaining to the City-Wide Club and that she pledges herself to abide by the will of the majority. And that the Twelfth Ward Club and its friends be assured they are understood in this matter, they request that she read to said meeting of the City-Wide Club on December 1 this copy of this chapter of the minutes of the meeting of the Twelfth Ward Democratic Women's Club. Sirs. Poe Makes Reply. After referring the matter to the club, which, upon motion of Mrs.

Annie G. Moisan, referred it back to Mrs. Poe for reply, Mrs. Poa took the letter up point by point. "I am perfectly willing to conduct all meetings according to parliamentary law," said Mrs.

Poe, "except when there arises an occasion when, in my judgment, such a ruling seems inadequate. Parliamentary law can be cruel and I hall give precedence to the laiv of humanity. It takes tact, patience, courtesy and a little of the divine spark of brotherly love to conduct an organization. Unless you bow to that the meeting is a cut-and-dried affair. "I will enforce orderly conduct.

At all of the three meetings which have been held since the Twelfth ward left we have had perfect harmony and it will continue if the Twelfth Ward Club will respect the laws of courtesy, with out which no meeting can be conducted successfully. As for abiding by the rule of the majority, to that I will pledge myself unqualifiedly." flxn Stonestreet In Fififbt. Applause on the part of the "regulars" followed, but the Twelfth Ward Club members gave no sign of what they felt. Then came skirmishes which ended in the victory of the enemies of Miss It began with the announcement by the chairman that, owingt to the inability of Mrs. Robert J.

Green to be present at all meetings of the club, Mrs. Green had asked that an assistant treasure Miss Mary Wilmot, be appointed. Mrs. Poe also announced that Miss Stonestreet had found it impossible to be present at many of the meetings and asked that, in order that the minutes of the club be kept in an orderly and complete fashion, an assistant secretary be appointed. The motion was immediately made and seconded, and then Miss Stonestreet was on her feefe in protest.

"I have never asked for an assistant, Madam Chairman," she said. "Under the constitution and by-laws of the club you cannot name such an assistant without an amendment to the constitution, but you can -appoint one at any meeting at which I am not present." Mrs. Moisan declared the club had suffered from the continued absence of Continued on Page 13, Column 5.) Parent Teachers Associations Now Find Sphere Of Real Usefulness. 1 recent ttatement hy Albert S.

Somerset county's school staff and the more progressive of Somerset county's parents have defied the discouragement which the school conditions, outlined yesterday, Invite so temptingly. They are battling against odds they are usin make-shift methods to achieve important permanent ends and they are even digging down deep into their own pockets for funds that ought to come from the county treasury, but they are doing all this cheerfully and with many good results. For several years there have been parent-teachers association in Somer set, but they had not been live organizations and functioned only on field days, at commencement times and on like occasions furnishing the flags and the ice-cream and the sandwiches. Associations Make F'lght. It is different now.

The Parent-Teachers Association of Crisfield and of Princess Anne, but of Crisfield particularly, are fighting for proper education for their children. In The Sun yesterday, in a dispatch from Princess Anne, was told the story of a delegation from the Crisfield association which came here to see the County Commissioners and offered to raise $350 for books for the Crisfield schools and asked the County Commissioners to promise to reimburse them out of the next levy. They obtained this promise only after a spirited discussion among the Commissioners and then over the protesting vote of president of the board, who expressed the belief, that it was "up to the State" to provide books. This incident is only one of hundreds that help to illustrate how the county citizens are striving to make up for the inadequacies created by the school budget cuts. The emergency has produced a spirit of helpfulness that is really unusual.

Compelled To Borrow Illstories. For instance, in one history class in the Crisfield School, where there are 64 pupils, there are only 32 history textbooks. Any morning one can find this pupil or that, or this or that parent, going to the home of a neighboring pupil and asking if the history textbook is in use. If it isn't it is loaned to the pupil who needs it for the day. The pupil carries his borrowed prize proudly to school.

After inspecting Mount Royal Reservoir yesterday, Chief Engineer Henry G. Perring estimated that it could be converted immediately into a stadium with a seating capacity of 20,000 at an approximate cost of $100,000. The impression at the City Hall was that tne Park Board would supply the money, since the preliminary investigations have been made at the request of President Boyd, who suggested the use of the reservoir a week ago. Tentative drawings, from as careful a study as could be made under existing conditions, provide for concrete seats inside he slopes and an attractive entrance at North Mr. Perring said a field for football and track events could be laid out at once, but that until a permanent bowl was built people would have to walk to the top of the slopes and then down steps to the seats.

Tunnel Entrances Proposed. The plan is to build tunnel entrances and exits through the slopes later, and also to enlarge the bowl to a seating capacity of from 50,000 to the tunnel and additions to wait until funds for the complete development of the stadium are available. Development could proceed piece-meal, it was pointed out, without interfering with any of the temporary work now contemplated. Mr. Perring saw the lake after it was drained and got the impression that the bottom was flat, making the problem of its treatment as an athletic field simpler than if the bottom were oval.

If old measurements could be relied upon, he said, the reservoir was big enough for a football field. Data For Park Board. New measurements are being taken and may be in Mr. Perring's hands today. He then will be in position, he said, to 6tate definitely what was needed to convert it into a stadium that will supply all needs.

Mr. Perring will place the data in the hands of President Boyd for consideration at a meeting of the Park Board next Tuesday. It was announced at the City Hall, following the recent ruling of City Solicitor Marchant, that the city had a fee-simple title to the reservoir and the adjacent territory. The reservoir was turned over to the Park Board by an ordinance of the Mayor and City Council 10 years ago, after its abandonment by the Water Board. ROBBERY LED TO MURDER Believed Motive For Killing Of Mts Dagenhardt.

Coroner George C. Blades announced last night that the autopsy yesterday upon the body of Miss Louisa M. Dagenhardt, 67 years old, 321 South Spring street, found murdered Wednesday in a woodshed in the rear of her home, revealed that death was caused by strangulation and that she had not been criminally assaulted. Investigation disclosed that Miss Dagenhardt recently had sold her home, and that she never banked her money but kept it in the house. The rooms of the dwelling were ransacked by the murderer, and it was decided that robbery was the motive of the crime.

This battle cry has now put in its bid for immortality along with "Don't give up the ship." It was first uttered yesterday by Dr. Dwight H. Mohr, police surgeon of the Baltimore force. It means that in the future Baltimore is to have a force of giant cops- "Five feet eight or nothing" means in plain English that if a man wants to be a po-; liceman in Baltimore he must be 5 feet 8 inches in height in his bare feet or in stockings with no false bottoms, and not 5 feet 7 or 5 feet 7.

He may weigh 250 pounds and be in the pink of condition he may be able to spiel off the names of all the streets in Baltimore and all the car lines, flophouses, near-beer bars, crap champions and national banks; he may have a presence like a Senator and a wallop like three fingers of vanilla extract, but if. he isn't 5 feet 8 he puts on his shoes and gets back aboard the milk "The object is simplyNto have Baltimore represented by as fine a looking police force as there is in the country," DANCING WEDIvXSDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS LEGGETT HALU 271K 20 Harford arnica.
