TOO WARY

Experience.

II may be possible that the City
Council and the Commissioners may
become confused and get into trouble
over the matter Of some paving but IL
should not be supposed from this that
the School Board will get itself caught
with anything so simple. No indeed!
For instance, at the meeting last
night, Mr.. Madison made a report in
which he recommended that cement
sidewalks be laid at the Miller school,
and that they be pieced out with such
remnants and mill ends of stone as
might be lying around.
How much will 1t cost?" said Mr..
Rockwell. Cement walks are good
If they are put down right"
"What will be under it?' asked Mr..
Killing.
And there were SO many questions at
once that when they are all answered
to the satisfaction of those who asked
them, there will be no danger that the
Board will 60 wrong. The matter was
referred back to a committee for fur
ther report.

DANGER
In Case Of Fire To Be Obviated

Members of the Board of Education
believe that the basement Of the
Leggett school, in which there are
classes, is dangerous and in time of
fire would be veritable trap. 1t
appears that there are no direct places
of egress or ingress, and the pupils
have to go through the boiler room
or up through the remainder of the
building in order to get out. The
Board will cut doors through from the
basement rooms to the outside world.

DECISION
Touching Arrests on
Suspicion"
An Injured Young Man Recovered
Damages.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
The question recently raised in our
Mayors court by Attorney Il. e. Otis
in reference to the invalidity of the
suspicion" ordinance is one that has
interested me very much. am of the
opinion that from constitutional
standpoint as we'll as one of reason,
such law ought not to be the
law of any city. During the time that
I was clerk in Judge I. G. Kimball
& Sons law Office in Washington, d.
O., the former at the time being the
District Police judge, the suspicion"
ordinance was attacked. The case
was carried to the highest court in the
District of Columbia, and the outcome
is best explained in the ar
ticle following, which the writer here
with furnishes, having clipped same
from the Washington Evening STAR
'The Court of Appeals of New York
has just handed down decision
which, it Is said, will have the effect
of curtalling the police practice there
Of making arrests 'on suspicion" This
action of the New York tribunal is in
keeping with the ruling of Justice
Bradley Of the Supreme court of the
District of Columbia Of recent date,
holding that the police are without
authority to arrest person on the
ground of suspicion
The case in New York, according to
the New York Sun, is that of Harry
V. Snead, who was arrested in 1898 as
suspicious person. Robert L. Harrl.
son, counsel for Snead, says that in
November, 1893, his client, who was
the son of well-to-do parents, and who
lived at 88 Fifth ave., wanted to raise
some money, and for that purpose took
out Of storage quantity of silverware
belonging to his mother, with the inten-
ton of pawning it. He got it from the
storage house by permission of his
mother. AS he could not induce the
pawnbroker he visited to advance as
much as he wanted he put the goods
back in valise and left the shop.
"As he was walking towards home
he was stopped by Detective sergeants
Bonnoil and Cottrell. They asked him
what he had in his satchel. snead,
not knowing, as he testified in court.
that they were detectives, told them
somewhat forcibly that it was none
of their business. Thereupon the two
detectives told him that they were
from Police headquarters, but accord
ing to Snead, they refused to show their
badges, and when asked by what au-
thority they stopped him, pulled out
pair of handouts, snapped them over
his wrists and remarked: "That's our
authority"
"Snead testified further that he was
Ill used and was searched and that
some love letters which were found in
his pockets were read aloud by the de-
tectives for the amusement of their
brother officers. After he had been
locked up for 4s hours, it was estab-
lished that he had not stolen the sill

1t is stated on the best authority
that within the next few months the
construction of line to this city will

has been no definite survey for the
construction of the line east from the
town Of Carnegie, but the information
is absolutely authentic that the route
has been laid out to that point.
That an entrance will be secured to
Pittsburg is not questioned by those in
a position to know, and absolute prom
ises are made that within a compara-
lively short time another great trunk
