TOALLBUTP POLICE
They Have Much Extra Work to Do After Other District
Employees Get Off From Duty on Saturday After
moons in the Summer-Care for Sick and Needy.

While the ], o'clock Saturday closing
hour is a big boon to a majority OF
District employees during the summer,
yet It also involves much extra work
on another branch of the District gov
ernment.
With all Of the departments closed
until Monday morning, persons who
have business with the Health Depart
ment, Board Of Charities, and a dozen
other District branches come to head
quarters and tell their troubles to the
police. It means a whole lot Of work
for the detective bureau, and the whole
Police Department.
Every Saturday and Sunday there are
anywhere from half a dozen to a dozen
persons in need of hospital treatment
or shelter for the night who would be
ordinarily looked after during the week
by the Board of Charities. Pennilessr
homeless, friendless, and often sick.
these persons come to the District
building, and are told by the watch
man at the door that the Board OF
Charities is closed. The cases frequent
ly need immediate attention, and as
there is no one eliza to look after them
the police must do It. The persons who
appeal for help cannot be classed as
emergency patients, and there is no
way to get them into the free ward of
a hospital unless they have a DOCTOR 6
certificate or a certificate from the
Board of Charities.
Have a Serious Duty.
The police can not very we'll turn
away a person who is-in the last stages
Of consumption or dying from some
other cause. They cannot turn them
over to the Board of Charities on Sat-
urday afternoons and Sunday, because
the board has closed up shop.
The applicant for assistance cannot
even be given a cell In a police station
unless he has violated the law in some
way. So 1t requires considerable maneu-
vering to take care of them. The diff
ferent hospitals are called up until one
of the institutions Will agree to disre-
gard the regulations regarding pauper
patients and take the person with the
understanding that a certificate from
the Board of Charities is to be given
on Monday. All this takes time and
three or four members of the force
are frequently busy looking after such
cases, instead of attending to regular
police matters.
All the persons who appeal for help
are not sick by any means. Frequently
they are strangers without money.
Sometimes 1t Is a mother and child,
put out of their home because they
couldn't pay rent, and have no money
with which to buy food or shelter
These cases prove a real problem for
the police Usually they are sent to the

Aged Couples Appeal.
A typical case was received at Police
Headquarters the other Saturday after
noon. An aged man and his invalid
wife trudged into the Detective Bureau
and asked that they be given place to
spend the night, and something 10 eat.
The man had been a watchman in one
of the Government departments for
many years. His meagre salary had
made It impossible for him and his wife
to live and put away anything for a
rainy day. So when the rainy day
came they were not prepared. He had
been Ill for a long time. The Govern
ment carried the man on Its payrolls as
long as the law permitted. or months
he had been confined to his bed. The
grocer, the butcher, the druggist had
extended more credit than could rea-
sonably have been expected. Friends
had been appealed to, and had helped
literally. The landlord had been more
lenient than most landlords.
The aged couples friends wanted to
put them in some institution, but, both
proud. they refused to go 10 an aims
house. After that their friends did
no more. The landlord put them out.
1t was Saturday night, and there was
no place to go but to the police. The
Municipal Lodging House was crowded,
and II one OF the men in the Detective
Bureau had not reached down in his
pocket and given them a couple Of
dollars they would have had to spend
the night in the streets and gone hun
Cry on Sunday.
Many Complaints Made.
But 1t is not only cases OF this kind
with which the police are called upon
to deal on Saturdays and Sundays
Everybody who has any complaint to
make comes and makes II to the police
Some persons want their alleys
cleaned. others want a building inspec-
tor to make an investigation OF an un-
safe structure. Now, the police have
no more to do with these matters Of
ficially than the President. Still, in the
public interest they require attention.
So the police butt in and do the best
they can. II the matter Is especially
important and urgent they hunt up
some one who can handle II Officially.
II they can't, they handle 1t themselves
There is no one who would welcome a
than a policeman. The police, however,
don't see how 1t could be applied to
them very we'll Any official OF the
department Will tell you that on Sun
day he has been called upon to perform
duties from those Of a District Com
missioner down to those of a white
wing.

BULLION BARS
ARRIVE FROM The
LIBERTY Mine
THIRD SHIPMENT HAS A VALUA.
TION OF ABOUT EIGHT
THOUSAND DOLLARS

The third bullion shipment from
the Tonopah-Liberty mine, to be
sent out since the completion of the
mill, was received in Tonopah last
night and placed in the Wells-Fargo
office, from which place it was for
Warded this morning to the Selby
Smelter company. The shipment,
which consisted of five bars, was
the result of ten days mill run,
and from what can be learned is
valued at about $4,000. The two
former shipments had an approx
innate value of $4,000 each.
From the manner in which the
plant is being operated, it is estim-
ated that the company win clean up
between $4,000 and $4,000 worth
OF bullion monthly. The mill is
now running in fine shape while the
mine operations show large ton

out of the garage again, as the col
lision with the steel post resulted

DIVORCES HOLD
A new YEAR PARTY
AT CARSON CITY

Yesterday about dozen gentle
men in this city who have been here
some months securing divorces, met
at the residence of one of their num-
Der and had a delightful stag dinner
party.
1t was understood that the LIQUID
refreshments were to be of the most
bountiful description to wash down
the turkey, chicken and mince and
pumpkin pies. 1t was also under
stood that no rustic of silk skirts
should profane the hallowed pre-
cincts of the stays.
One of their number, about the
most prominent one, said he had to
go to Reno for some business and
would be back on the $3.50 train in
time to sample the repast.
Everything was in readiness and
the party waiting for the member to
arrive.
Suddenly some one looked out of
the window and exclaimed "What in
thunder is this?"
All hands looked out and there
came the member who had just ar
rived from Reno with beautiful
woman in tow.
He walked up the steps and rang
the bell with most positive accent.
When the door opened he staked in
and entering the dining room made
an important announcement.
Gentlemen, my wife,
1t was like bomb shell exploding
in the place and the members gasped,
but Mrs. , who was married
that morning in Reno, threw a most
engaging smile about the table and
proceeded to make herself at home.
She tackled the kitchen and put
the finishing touches on the repast.
They began to apologize for the vast
amount of liquor in sight and she
said they need not mention it,
She filled a glass of punch and re-
marked:
Here's to you all, gentlemen.
with a Happy New Year and whole
lot of them"
She sat down and dined with the
party, and was pronounced "iollv
good fellow" by all present.
She was the life of the dinner and
a most delightful innovation.
