WHITE COURT GEES

Rudolph Supplies Real Rea

Maas.. August
Commissioner Rudolph of Washing
ton is known to have furnished one
of the associates of President Ooolidge J
tvith a brief detailed history of the
,dase of Capt. Headley of the Police j
■Department, which is to serve as the i
Ifeal reason, in the event the President 1
Should want one. why Cape Headley I
i»ra.« demoted from Inspector in charge
tVf the traffic squad and placed in com- I
jirtand of a police precinct.
This associate of President Cool- |
Me*, after receiving this information j
from the president of the Board of ;
Commissioners, said tods'' that h*
piersonallv feels that there appears to j
have been justification for the Com- j
ipissioners' action. It is not consid
ered likely, however, that President ,
tpoolidge has any intention of taking i
9Py interest in this case.
It was said at White Court that,
dpring his recent visit Senator rvp j
per of Pennsylvania, who. it is un
derstood. has expressed a willingness I
take up the Headley case for the
entire Pennsylvania delegation, did |
pin mention th* matter. It was !
pointed out that if Senator Pepper!
Intended to go to th* hat for Capt. I
seadley he would not come 10 Presi i
dent Coolidge with it. but to th*
proper authorities—the Pistrict Com ]
missloners.
In this connection Commissioner,
Rudolph said that Senator Peppet j
dj/1 not consult hint while he was here. I
dor at any previous time. The Com j
rnissloner said he had not been in- i
formed that the Headley case is
again being agitated by friends of
rlt* police officer. H» doubted if this
would be of much avail, as he is in- |
dined to look upon th* matter, a! j
though it comes directly und»r his |
associate. Commissioner K*nnlnc. as a I
dosed incident.

SWAMPSCOTT. Mass.. August fi. -
t'lino H. Rudolph, president of the
Board of District Commissioners, who
has been up here on the North Shore
! on a vacation for several weeks, does
not believe that* there will be any
suffering or incon venienc* in Wash
j ington in the event of a coal strike.
fommissioner Rudolph said today
that information he has received with
in the past few days assures him that
the Capital is fairly well prepared to
meet the situation if TP* miners finally
decide to walk out. The Commissioner
ata.ted that first of all he does not
; think such a strike would he of long
duration, that both the miners and
operators would very shortly show
signs of wanting to get together and
I compose their differences. But in th*
• vent the strike promise* to last
longer than is generally expected in
official and authoritative circles in this
section. Mr. Rudolph’s opinion is that
the District of Columbia is pr etty well
prepared to meet it. His optimism
tegarding the Capital ia based prlncl
pally upon information to the effect
that the local coal dealers have laid
in fairly good supplies and that there
would he no gouging of the public and
that Washington Is taking to substi

while he wanted to he hack in Wash

tion on the part of the Kit Klttx Klan.
he had no reason to fear any disorder*
incident to this gathering. He be
lieves that considerable of the agita

lieve that interest in the affair is lag
