had left earlier in the day, with the
pastures where he and his family had
browsed so long, with the gurgling
brooks where he had slaked his thirst

The resolution means, in effect. that the
street sergeants must hold the prl-
Yates under them to stricter accounta-
bility and be more stringent in report
ing all violations of police regulations
and police etiquette.
There has been some complaint In
the past that the street sergeants have

have closed their eyes to violations
which they should have reported lf

and adopted that If any member of the
board or any superior officer hears that
any man has been criticIzing the acts
of his superior, the man to whom the
complaint has been made will be sum
moned to testify before the board, and
the policeman Will be brought severely
to task, with the possibility of his dis
missal. The resolution means that
more discipline will he enforced here
after among all the men, officer or pri-.

Under limited control, it is stated,
the board is doing the best within its
power to improve the department. but
efforts must fail in measure where
there Is unwarranted criticism by any
man connected with the force, Ii any
man has complaint TO make, he may
have remedy by appearing before the
board. If it is found hereafter that
acts of the chief, any other superior
officer or of the board have been criti-
cized by any of the men in public or I'M
private except through the proper
channels, that man, according to the
resolution adopted last night. faces
