POLICE FORCE INADEQUATE Washington Official Hajs Congress Has Refused His Requests for More Men Women Charge Indifference Was Shown. WASHINGTON, March 6. Aroused over the failure of the Washington police department to maintain order during the progress of the suffrage pageant of March 3, the Senate began today an investigation to place the responsibility for the lack of protec tion for the women marchers. Acting under a resolution adopted Just before the Senate adjourned Mon day, Senator Galllnger, the retiring chairman of the District of Columbia committee, named Senators Jones, Dil lingham and Pomerene as an in vestigating committee. At a meeting today the committee determined to begin hearings at 1:30 o'clock tomor row. Major Richard Sylvester, superin tendent of police, probably will be one of the first witnesses called. Police Inadequate, Sara Chief. It Is the plan of the committee to examine a large number of persons to determine accurately the attitude of the police toward the suffrage marchers and the character of protection given. Superintendent of Police Sylvester said today tnat the department could not be blamed for the failure to pre serve order. He declared the police force was inadequate to meet the situa tion that confronted it requiring the guarding the suffrage line of march and handling the arrival of President Wil son at practically the same time. His requests for more men, he added, have been unheeded by Congress for the last Ave or six years. Witnesses Charge Indifference. The fact that so many members of Congress are from suffrage states is counted upon by the women to aid them in punishing those responsible for the indignities they say they were com - pelled to suffer at the hands of drunken and ruffianly men. They are making every effort to obtain evidence to pre sent to the committee. General Anson Mills. U. S. A., retired, and Rear-Admiral Wainwright and Mrs. YValnwright and Miss Staunton, grand daughter of Lincoln's Secretary of War, are among those who are said to have submitted evidence of indifference on the part of the police. Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Congressional committee of the Na tional suffrage organization, has taken personal charge of the work of push ing the investigation. She declares she already has obtained conclusive evidence regarding policemen who re fused to keep back the crowds along Pennsylvania avenue. Government Wants) Legislation, It is reported that the government has decided to introduce in Parlia ment at a date as early as possible the bills dealing with the suffragette difficulty.' The first will empower the Home Secretary to exercise the same licensing control over persons commit ted to prison as he now does over con victs. Thus a suffragette prisoner adopting the hunger strike would be sent to a hospital or a home until her health had been restored and then would be recommitted to prison. This method would be repeated until the prisoner had served the full term, in which the time out on license would' not be counted. The second bill will provide a bet ter procedure for recovering fines and damages from suffragettes convicted of attacks on property, and will modify otherwise the criminal law in the de sired direction.
