POLICE INSPECTION.
\ Fine Showing Before Marshal
Brown and Others Yesterday

\ Fine Showing Before Marshal
Brown and Others Yesterday,
a rigid inspection of both the mount
ed and foot police by Marshal Brown
was held, as previously announced. in
the police station yard Sunday morn
ing, and lasted from $50 a. m. until
1910 D. m, there being present be-
sides Marshal Brown Deputy Marshal
Hitchcock, Deputy Sheriff Coney OF
Kauai, Z. N Hitchcock and others.
The police appeared in the regular
uniform first then came full dress, and,
lastly, mountaineer costume. Uniforms
and firearms were carefully inspected.
The drill was one of the finest things
in its line that has ever been seen on
the Islands.
At the end of the inspection Marshal
Brown presented the police medal to
Lieutenant Chamberlain, the winner in
the recent three-months' shoot. In the
remarks before presentation, the Mar
shall called attention to the fact that
the medal did not represent the win
ner as champion of the police, since
the shoot was only among a limited
number OF that body. he wished the
officers to understand, however, that in
the near future he intended putting up
a medal for the police championship.
In closing his remarks, the Marshal adj
mOnished his men to keep up the work
of shooting, and to do the very best
that in them lay, taking care at all
times to keep away the element of dis
couragement. Defeat had come, and
probably would come, but that would
be an incentive to better work.
During the progress of the inspec-
ton photographs were taken by Cliff
ford Rhodes, and at the close one OF
Marshal Brown, Deputy Marshal
Hitchcock and Captains Parker, Fer
nandes, Renken and Lieutenant Ed
wards in group, and another of Hack
Inspector Sam Macy and Clerk George
Sea were taken.
Throughout the inspection was a
success, and the fine showing made
must necessarily be of great satisfac-
ton to those at the head of the police
department and to the police depart
ment as a whole.
