A POLICE BOARD DECISION.

A decision Of great importance to the
officers of the police force was reached
at Headquarters yesterday in the case
OF Capt. James X. Price, Of the West
Thrty-seventh street police station.
Capt. Price was charged with failure
to suppress a gambling house doing
business in his precinct. 1t was shown
that at certain time gambling had
been going on there. But there was no
evidence that the place was at all
notorious. that its reputation was gen
orally known or that the Captain was
aware of It's character.
The decision. as far as police trials go.
disposes OF the theory that Captain II
responsible for the mere existence OF a
disorderly or illegal resort in his pre-
cinct on the ground that he ought to
have discovered and suppressed II and
that the simple fact of its existence is
proof OF his negligence and guilt.
The points laid down in this decision
are that the Captain accused Of having
failed to suppress u violation of law
must be shown to have known OF such
violation: that the violation must have
existed for so long n time that n
prudent and watchful officer ought TO
have known OF II and suppressed It: that
when the violation IL notorious and
known to the neighbors a policeman
Is chargeable with notice OF 1t II II is
not suppressed.
Under this decision It Is claimed that
IL disorderly house has been broken
up by a Captain and subsequently re-
sumes business the Captain In not re-
