had talk with Chief of Police Willard
yesterday, in which he explained that
there seemed to have been . misunder-
standing in certain directions concerning
his instructions to police officers making
arrests under what Is commonly termed
the disorderly person charge. Judge Glas-
gov desired the chief TO know that, when
ne spoke Of officers ascertaining whether a
man had tried to get work, he did not
mean that that must DO the proof, but
that he considered that an efficient way to
prove the case. He referred TO the clause
in the city ordinance which says. "Persons
roaming from place to place." and not to
any other part Of either the city ordinance
or state law on the subject The chief
said he understood the matter and that
ended the talk.
