In some respects st. Louis policemen are
governed by the same rules as those apply
ing to the President of the United States.
The nations chief executive must have per-
mission from Congress before he can accept
a present from a citizen. st. Louis police
men must have the consent of the Board
of Police Commissioners.
This il not generally understood by per-
sons not connected with the Police Depart
ment, many Of whom believe that a patrol
man or detective may accept any and all
presents from persons whom they have
served. 1t Is one of the ironclad rules Of
the Police Department, however, and a po-
liceman found guilty Of violating 1t may be
taken before the Police Board and punished
for the offense.
The patrolman to whom a present IN Of
fered Is required to make his application for
consent to accept 1t to the Captain Of his
district. The Captain presents the written
application to the Chief Of Police for his
approval. n it is then filed with the Board
Of Police Commissioners.
Captain Reynolds yesterday received a
letter from Patroimen Greeley and Cremiu
requesting permission to accept hats that
have been rendered them by a firm to
which they rendered a valuabls service by
apprehending John Harris. a brass thief.
