Chief Of Police Lloyd is positive. So is
Mayor Davie. The Police Commissioners
are in doubt.
The Chief has reac he'd the conclusion
that the Oakland bobby is altogether too
plain an individual. He does not refer to
his features, for Sergeant Hodgkins and
Officer Greenwald are acknowledged to be
Beau Brummells of officialdom, but Chief
Lloyd refers to the uniforms. He is posi-
tive that the officers should wear chevrons.
The number of chevrons shall denote the
length of time the wearer has been in the
service. All well-regulat ed police forces
are addicted to chevrons and chevronels
and epaulettes and gold lace and stars and
big buttons and visible clubs ana tassels,
and yet the Oakland force, which Chief
Lloyd believes to be second to none, and
which has proved its ability to shoot all
around Chief Crowley's men, is as plain as
bulletin board after heavy shower.
The Chief has given vent to his griev-
ance in a communication sent to the Board
of Police Commissioners in which he
warmly advocates the use of chevrons. He
greatly regrets the poor showing made by
his men when on parade and longs to
command body of men whose gold lace
shall reflect the rays of the sun and incl
dentally reflect credit to the department.
When the Commissioners read the COM
munication from the Chief Messrs. Wilson
and Peifsol moved that the matter be
taken under advisement. They wanted
some time to look at dictionary, not be-

Mr.. Peirsol looked with suspicion on the
request and was not sure at first that it
was not a covert plan to increase the sal
aries of the officials, and that on a dollar
limit would be worse than disastrous.
Mayor Davie saw a vision of the future
when the evolution of the chevron should
be so pronounced that policeman's use

municipal ornament he would be a howl

EMMA PROPOSED.
Now Her Husband Is in Jail, Charged
With Perjury.

OAKLAND, CAL, April 28.-The officers
brought E. Marinell to the City Prison
this morning, and, in the Police Court be
pleaded not guilty and had the case con-
tinued so that he could have an attorney.
He is charged with perjury by his wife s
sister, in swearing that she was over 18 in
securing a marriage license. He is a
hunchback, and is not prepossessing. In
speaking of the matter the messenger-boy
said:
"My wife proposed to me and then she
did the swearing at the County Clerk
office. | guess her sister, though, does not
know all of the facts in the case or she
would have insisted on our immediate
union instead of com planning; for you see
Emma and l were very intimate, to an ex-
tent that marriage was necessary TO pre-
serve her good name. The girls mother is
dead and their father don't seem to care if
Emma is my wife. l told him a week ago
of our marriage, and he only said, To h
with the girl, | don't care
81 don't see what Helen means" he
continued, meditatively. 81 have always
been good to her and the family. I got
their brother job as messenger with me.
and both he and Helen seemed to encour-
age my going with Emma. Whenever
she and / would have a quarrel they would
try to make US friends again. | remem Der
once when we did not speak that Helen
took quarter and Emma and [ guessed
the date, with the understanding that the
one who came farthest from it should
speak first. From things like these |
thought she wanted us to marry.
What kind of a girl is Helen? Oh. she
is one of these high-rollers no want to be
society. When my wife was working at
one place for year Helen took all of her
wages to buy clothes for herself and the
woman Emma worked for had to buy her
dress to keep her looking decent. Helen
is right in line, goes to all of the parties
and drinks everything in sight. I know
