POLICE CAPTAIN At
ODDS WITH PASTOR
Judge Pugh Rules Officer Was
Right in Discharging Man.
Sequel Is Expected.

a dispute between Police Capt.
Henri Schneider, of the Seventh pre-
cinct, and the Rev. Fl. Baremore An
gus. pastor of the Peck Memorial
Chapel, Twenty y-eighth and NJ streets,
as to whether Leroy Fleet. colored, was
drunk, was settled in favor of the po-
lice officer. by Judge Pugh, in Police
Court today.
as the minister believes that the police
captain exceeded his authority in re-
leaging Fleet after two policeman had
arrested him and he threatens to take
the matter before the police trial board.
Further charges may be preferred
against Captain Schneider as result
OF the outcome of the trial IN Police
Court.
Fleet was arrested by Policemen Bra
shears and Speer on charge of drunk
enpess preferred by Mr.. Angus. When
he was taken to the Seventh precinct
station and examined, he was released
by Captain Schneider, who had hlni
walk a crack and perform other tsunts
to prove his sooriety. Mr.. Angus d!9
not believe that Captain Schneider had
a right 20 turn the prisoner loose ana
complained to the higher authorities
with the result that Fleet was tried IN
Police Court.
The fact that the two officers who
arrested Fleet did not smell liquor on
his breath and that Captain Schneider
gave it as his opinion that the man was
not drunk, caused Judge Pugh to DIS
charge him. Judge Pugh questioned
the right of a police captain to release
a prisoner after he had been arrested,
hui asserted that, apparently, Captain
Schneider had acted in good faith and
with a view to protecting Fleet from
needless disgrace.
II believe If a man can be taken
home with safety he should not be
locked up in a police station. as the
one arrest may ruin a mans reputation:
and cause all sorts OF trouble, s2.Id
Captain Schneider. Il believe th2t II
is humanity to man-practicing the
Golden Rule-to give a man a chance II
he can accept it."
Judge Pugh took practically the same
view, but believed that. after man Is
arrested, a police captain does not have
the right to give him his liberty.

"NoFthern Trials"
Part Two

: AS I told you last time the last part
of the story tells about small animals,
salmon and wild geese. The little ami
NAL l am going TO tell you about this
time is Pequam the fisher or the
black fox which is known as the wea-
sell He is a small animal and black
all over. He has a long tail and re-
i sembles the black eat. His fur is very
valuable and he is hard TO catch. The
: only time a weasel is caught asleep IS
after a huge meal. An old hunter tells
! the following story:
on one occasion when I was out
hunting in the woods l met Newell, an
( Indian.
I said Hello, brother! what you
/ hunt um ?" For answer he pointed
with a grunt to the snow where a Pc
Iquam had gone along that morning.
/ "Oh. | get um," he said smiling.
Find um where he kill deer dis morny.
/ Now he go off wild hees belly full,
sleepy, oh, sleepy. Find UNI bime by,
pretty soon quick now. You wan go
along help UNI" He added invitingly.
/ This was a new kind Of hunting for
me so I went along with the Indian.
Pequam is like a shadow, he darts here
and there and everywhere. Some
times his footprints ended at the foot
/ of a tree, then he would climb the
tree and jump from tree TO tree think
/ ing he would fool US. Then when he
came TO a place where ne could not
jump he would jump down on the
ground and we would see his foot
prints in the snow.
/ So we followed him mile after mile
till gave up the thought Of shooting
/ him.
After awhile Newell stopped, point
ed ahead where is he % I NhicDpr-
ed. "Oh, we got um now, good place"
l followed the Indian cautiously 10 a
hollow log where Pequam was sound
asleep. ] guarded one end Of the log
while Newell filled the other end with
branches. Then Newell chopped a
/ hole in the log over Pequam.
! In a short time Newell was able 10
start home with Pequam's fur on his
4 back which was worth about eight
dollars.
