to Ms again the bathing season and its
attendant casualties. How many of
us have the faintest conception of how
to act in case we are present at any OF
these casualties, how To rescue a swim

thousands of lives are sacrificed every
year in the ocean, in lakes, in rivers,
and n large proportion of these might
have been saved by rightly directed
effort at the opportune moment. Which
of MS can say that he may not ut any
time make himself responsible for the
loss of valuable life through this
criminal negligence?
The English are ahead of us in recog-
nizing this great truth, and in devils
ing plans for lessening the perils of
those who go down to the sea or the
river in boats or in bathing dresses.

POLICEMAN PILLOW FINED.
The Board OF Police Commissioners Found
Him Gully Of Misconduct.

Policeman b. A Pillow was before the
Board Of Police Commissioners yester-
day afternoon TO answer several charges
brought against him by Dr. W. II. Har-
baugh. Mayor j. Taylor Ellyson was
unavoidably absent and Mr.. j. W. Laube
presided. All Of the other members OF the
board were present.
The story OF the case has attracted
worry general attention. Or. Harbaugh
was arrested by Policeman Pillow on a
charge Of drunkenness and shortly after
the arrest there was a considerable
wrangle as 10 the driving Of the dOctOrs's
buggy. a crowd gathered. and there
seemed 10 be at the hearing an unanimlty
Of opinion as to the officer becoming eX-
cited and using loud tones. As 10 the
other details Of the arrest, the testimony
OF the witnesses varied no little.
After a patient hearing OF over eight
hours verdict was reached as follows.
1.-THE board finds the charge Of conduct
unbecoming an officer sustained. as a viO-
lation OF section 1 OF police regulations,
requiring that an officer I'm the perform
ance Of his duty must maintain full COM
mand OF his temper. As 10 the other
charges. the testimony being so conflicting
the board is unable to determine upon
the same"
The board, therefore imposed a fine Of
so upon Policeman Pillow. and agreed
further that he should be- reprimanded by
the president OF the board.
