ARMING THE POLICE
FORBIDDEN TO CARRY REvOLV-
Frs UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS
Judge SCOTS Decision in Case of a
Special Officer-A Former
Opinion.

Judge SCOTS decision yesterday in the
case Of Special Policeman Hoover, who,
was tried for carrying a revolver, as stated
In yesterdays Star. Is matter of interest
to the members Of the police force, as well
as to the maly men who are serving as
special officers. The facts presented to the
court yesterday showed that the accused
was on his way home from his place of
employment where he had been on duty
watching house against which quaran-
tine had been ordered on account of the
smallpox. He admitted having taken one
drink. and the prosecuting policeman said
he was greatly under the influence of what
he had taken.
The courts ruling recalls a decision OF
the late Judge Miller in the case of mem
Der of the regular force who was tried for
misconduct while off duty. In that case
the policeman had visited drinking, places
and was under the Influence Of liquor
Judge Miller held that the officer had no
right to go about the city in an intoxicated
condition with loaded revolver in his
pocket. The fact that he was a policeman
did not give him the privilege OF being
armed while he was off duty and acting in
the manner stated. While Judge Scott Gid
not say upon what he based his conclusion,
his ruling in the case yesterday has about
the same effect as did the decision of
Judge Miller
Quotation From the Law.
The law giving members of the police de-
partment authority to carry arms is found
in section S55 of the code. After making
provision for the prosecution of persons for
carrying weapons and providinga penalty the
law defines the persons who are exempt and
under what circumstances they are permit
ted to carry the weapons. The law reads:
Provided. That the officers. non-commis-
stoned officers of the United States army,
navy or marine corps, or of any regularly
organized militia company, police officers,
officers guarding prisoners, officials Of the
United States or the District Of Columbia
engaged in the execution of the laws for
the protection of persons or property, when
any such persons are on duty, shall not be
liable for carrying necessary arms for
use in performance OF their duty; provided
further, that nothing contained in this sec
ton shall be Sc construed as to prevent any
person from keeping or carrying about his
place of business, dwelling house or prem
tses any such dangerous or deadly weapon,
or from carrying the same from place of
purchase to his dwelling house or place of
business, or from his dwelling house or
place of business to any place where re-
pairing is done. to have the same repaired,
and back again.
The law also specifies that the Judges of
the Police Court may give permits, under
bond to carry weapons Such permits can
only be given for one month at a time. 1t
is stated that some special policemen have
obtained permission from the Police Court
to go armed in order to be on the safe side.

Fewer Cattle Turned Out to Craze.

Fewer cattle will be turned out to grass
in central Kansas this spring than has been
the case for many years. said A. X. Hoff-
man of Kansas City to Star man at the
New Willard this morning. This is due to
the fact that the surplus cattle have been
granted all winter. and as they are fat
they will be shipped right away to the mar
ket. The supply of thin cattle in the coun-
try is very small, and the farmers will have
hard time in securing cattle to run on
their grass. Feeders as they are known,
are therefore in great demand
