MUpp WOULD NOT MOVE ON.
One Policeman Refused to Quit
Lounging at AnOther's Order.


Policeman Edward Mudd, of the Second
precinct, recently refused to leave the
southwest corner of Ninth and Pennsyl-
vania Avenue at the request of Policeman
Robert E. Doyle, of the First precinct, and
the matter was taken before the police
trial court. Policeman Mudd was charged
with having refused to move on when re-
quested to do so by an officer OF the law,
and with having used harsh language to-
ward Policeman Doyle. IL seems that
Mudd was not in uniform and was off duty
at the time Policeman Doyle, who was on
duty, saw a crowd of men leaning against
the iron fence in front of James f. Oysters
place of business, and as there had been
complaints against loungers he requested
them to find some other place to stand.
Policeman Doyle was standing with about
six other men. All complied with the re-
quest of the policeman on duty with the
exception of his brother officer in citizens
clothes. Mudd opened his coat and dis
playing his badge said:
Il am a policeman"
THAT makes no difference" replied Po-
liceman Doyle. Y"Mr. Oyster has made
complaint about men standing against this
fence. He don't know who you are"
Il am policeman" retorted Mudd, "and
l will stand where l please"
Policeman Doyle then went away to
nearby corner, leaving Policeman Mudd
leaning against the fence. The crowd, see
ing that Mudd refused to leave. began to
crowd in front of the store again. Police
man Doyle returned to the corner and ex-
planned the complaint.
Il have tried to explain to you about this
man making complaint" he said. You
have your choice to leave here or | will re-
port you TO Lieutenant Amiss.i'y
Report me, then" replied Policeman
Mudd.
The matter was reported TO Lieutenant
Amiss and also to the Chief of Police. re-
sulting in the trial of the offending officer.
The charge against the policeman was dis
missed in the following recommendation by
Major Sylvester:
Private Mudd has the reputation of being a
reliable. hard-working member of the force, and
| attribute his attitude in this TO want Of
proper appreciation OF the situation. A we'll
known merchant. finding his business facilities
in a measure retarded by loungers, requests such
persons through the police, to discontinue lean
ing against his premises. polite request
should accomplish the desired end. and when an
officer in citizens clothes, of duty, his identity
unknown TO those to whom such request is
made assumes to be obstinate in the face OF
''orders,' be encourages opposition il not trou-
bie. IL is TO be regretted that brother members
of the force should come together in this mat
ter, but il must be remembered than an officer
ON duty and in uniform, is not acting in an in
dividual capacity and as he might wish, but ns
the representative OF the law, and should be re-
spected by officer off duty. This would
be in line of assistance on his part, and not
opposition 10 the work of the department. |
am satisfied that there is now a proper under
standing of the matter. and that no feeling
lists. II il does am misinformcd. | recommend
that the charges be dismissed with the above
warming.

Somebody says the reason why May 30 was originally set apart for Decosa ton day is because it corresponds witt the date of tbe last honorable discharge giveu a soldier of the Union army iu the war between tbe states. Probably this is only a haphazard gness, how ever. It is far more likely that this particular date was chosen by Gen. John A. Logan inst thirty years ago for the reason thut it marks the bcgiu- ming of the beautiful season when nature is at her lovelicst and when the flowers with which the graves uf the dead soldiers are decorated are within the reach of the humblest resUurces. Certainly DO more appropriate date could possibly have been chosen for the beautiful ceremonies of the day than this Both of May.
