Method of Enforcing Law.

ct have no DESIRE" says Mr.. Thomas W.
Gilmer in letter to the District Commits
sioners today, ito influence your decision in
any particular case, but I hope you will
not give the police force any excuse to
infer that police regulations and other
laws are not to be uniformly and impair
TALLY enforced. If it Is right to compel any
man to obey any particular law, then all
others should be compelled to obey the
same law under the same circumstances
That sounds like a platitude, but the police
should never forget 1t. An officer who has
the courage to enforce the law uniformly
is too valuable a man to lose.
"At the same time when a regulation is
Of minor Importance the police should al
ways enforce it by soft persuasion, II pos
sible. In such case they should not hui
initiate the citizen by making an arrest il
the dignity Of the law can be upheld in
any other way. The police should remem-
Der the difference between nahum prohibit
tum and nahum in Sc. desire to say in
this connection that no person under ar
rest ought to be exposed to the public gaze
in an open patrol wagon. All vehicles for
transporting prisoners should be covered,
especially in view of the fact that innocent
people are often compelled to ride in
Them"

Policeman YOe's Defense Against
Charges Filed With Superintendent.
Policeman George L. Voc of the first pre-
cinct, whose dismissal from the force was
recommended by Major Sylvester after his
failure to appear for trial last Saturday,
as heretofore stated in The Star, was per-
mitted to offer testimony in his own be-
half this morning. Captain Austin heard
the statements Of the officer and several
Witnesses and copy of the testimony
will be- filed with that already sent to the
Commissioners.
The officer entered a general denial to
the charge that he used harsh, profane and
violent language toward Policeman Stahl
in Kernan's Theater, and it was shown by
evidence submitted that he offered to
apologize to the latter II he felt that he
had been offended. In connection with the
charge preferred against him by his
brother-fn-iaw, Crossing Policeman Ma
haney, the accused officer made no denial
He said he had taken quinine and whisky
for cold. He did not deny that he had
drawn his revolver, but explained that the
weapon was not loaded.
Captain A. W. Kelly, on whose beat
Policeman Voc had done duty, testified to
the good character of the officer, stating
that he is one of the best policemen who
ever did duty in the vicinity of the Center
market.
HE has always been sober an Indus
trious," Captain Kelly stated, land always
ready and willing to respond when called
upon"
George Taylor Wade. another commits
sion merchant, gave similar testimony
When Attorney John A. Clarke asked If
1t were necessary to produce more wit
nesses as to Officer Yoes character, Cap
tain Austin stated that there was no claim
that he had not been an efficient and excel
lent policeman.

be erected for year or more, will also be
