When is a man drunk?


Mistaking unconscious, sick or in.
jured men for wilted inebriates,
throwing them into cells to sober
up, with the result that many are
stiff and stark when the jailor again
rattles- his keys in the door, hap
pens so frequently that the police
departments of Los Angeles and
Chicago have adopted the Partisan
test for determining whether a man
Is drunk.
1t seems such simple question.
When is a man drunk? We all
think that we can quickly detect
the outward signs of drunkenness.
When man is drunk his gait is
nerveless and cratic, his enuncia-
ton is thick and his eyes are
CLASSY. He either fights, cries or
laughs in an abnormal, crazy fash
ion or he is down and out, dead
drunk"
1t is this last degree of Gag" that
causes most of the trouble. The
body Is limp, the face flushed and
the breathing labored and rasping.
The same symptoms are presented
by a man suffering from a cranial
injury, apoplexy or epilepsy. The
policeman whose long experience in
ringing down the curtain on sprees
gives him an expert knowledge of
all the varieties of drunk, often
makes a mistake that proves fatal
The physician is about the only
one who can safely judge a doubtful
case. And even he finds it diff
cult question at times. The effect
of liquor on different men varies as
much as the natures of the drink
ers. Some it eXalts, others it in
flames to murderous frenzy, de-
jects others and some it knocks out
completely.
Judge Mckenzie Cleland of Chi
cagO suggests the amending Of mu-
nicipal codes, providing that where
person, who is not vagrant, is
arrested for drunkenness only, and
is not committing a breach of the
peace, it shall be the duty of the
officer to ascertain his address. if
possible, take him home and place
him in the care of his friends or
relatives.
The records of the police depart
ments of Chicago and Los Angeles
and other big cities contain hun
dreds of instances of men who died
in the prison cells after being
dumped in on a charge of drunken
ness.
Numerous damage suits and
threats of damage suits have
aroused the officials of these cities.
Hereafter all doubtful cases will be
passed upon by the police surgeon.
| The adoption of this idea univer-
sally would result in the prevention
of many of the deaths in cases
where men have been jailed for sup

London, Nav 1.-THE kingdom was
thrown into CONSERVATION tonight by
the sudden and totally unexpected an
nouncement that King Edward was
suffering from bronchitis in form
which caused some anxiety to his ply
sicians two of whom are sleeping in
Buckingham palace tonight in order
to be on hand in case of need. The
first inti,nation that anything was
amiss was the failure of the King to
meet the Queen. who returned from
the Continent this evening. It has
been the Kings invariable rule to be
present on the Queens arrival from
any out town journey. and his alb
sence this evening was made the sub
ject of general comment Immediately
it was noted.
The Queen hurried to the palace and
soon afterwards the public learned by
an official announcement that the King
had been i'll for two days. The fact
that his illness had been thus conceal
ed from public knowledge increased
the alarm when once it became gener-
ally known.
The King suffered from a similar at
tack at Biarritz owing to the inclement
weather and cold winds, but it was
supposed that he had completely recov-
cred, especially as he attended the
opera at Covent garden within three
hours of his arrival in London from
BiarritZ last Wednesday.
