POLICE IN POLITICS.
At the meeting Of the Police Commits
sioners tonight Chief OF Police H NJ.
Boush preferred the charge Of insubordi-
nation against Marion NJ. Freeman. SER
geant Chief Boush recently introduced
some simple military evolutions and d.
rected that the members OF the police
force should be drilled In them for the
purpose Of promoting better discipline and
a more soldier1y appearance. Tho chief
stood In the ranks and drilled with the
men, but Sergeant Freeman objected to
drilling several times. and finally refused
point blank to obey the order on tho
ground that Il he would not make a
monkey" Of himself Chief Boush sus-
pended him at once for insubordination.
Back Of the refusal Is politics. Sergeant
! Freeman is a Rlddick partisan, and a.
there Is an election coming soon, the
alignment sls becoming rigid. The police
force is slipping away from the control
OF Mayor Riddick and the supposition is
that he is seeking to regain It for the
benefit Of his friends. and there will be
test OF strength between him and Chief
Boush. as to the control Of the police. a5
Sergeant Freeman was = suspended for
thirty days for INSTRUMENTATION to Chief
OF Police Boush after contest among
the Police Commissioners in which the
wishes OF "a the politicians were; defeated.
Policeman Mcclellan was dropped from
the rolls for misconduct. sss st3
