Officer Turns in Badge
One policeman, II. I. Hudnall, was
suspended by Judge Lane yesterday
This, however, it Is stated, was in no
way connected with the current police
department "shake-up." Judge Lane
stated that he "cited Patrolman Hud-

turned in his badge" and is, therefore,
no longer a member of the department

He stated, however, that he preferred
to make no statements concerning any
possible action at the meeting today.
Wards Statement
day was as follows:
THE public may understand that the
present arrangement of the police and
detective departments is going to re-
main.
This action was taken advisedly,
and we are going forward with our
programme regardless of coercion, di-
rect or indirect. from those who have
grown sentimental over our present
chief of police.
'There is evidently concerted move
ment on foot, originating, 1 believe,
with those sympathetic with the law
less element of the city, to create as
wide a breach as possible between these
two departments.
This movement. unfortunately, is
by the attempt of one
to discredit, by innuendo,
the work of the detective department
and its head.
"The commission has no intention of
rearranging these departments. The
present system will remain.
Furthermore. any attempt on the
part of the police department to en-
barrass us in this action will be
promptly treated in the manner it de-
serves"

THE FINISHING TERM.

As the accommodation there is not ade-
quate for the yearly contingent of new
officers, the recruits are divided into two
groups, or sections-one taking instruc-
ton from October to January, the other
from January TO March. Each has ITS
own instructor often picked from among
the graduates Of the previous years.
The course is admirably devised 70

cavalry horses used at the time were
sleek well fed. homeless animals, abso-

had been no need for anything else At

an officers dignity to take part in racing
fox hunting or even the popular Concours

were merely farces. not real tests any old

Pinerolo should have a session at Tor di

IL should be explained here that, al
though military service is compulsory In
Italy, those Directing to the common lot
may fit themselves for an officers brevet
by taking two wears at the preparatory
school Of Modena and then pronouncing
in favor OF either a cavalry or foot corps
and finishing accordingly. Formerly the
cavalry recruits were sent TO the riding
school at Pinerolo, in Northern Italy,
trained there from October 10 June and
then nominated 10 their regiments. Now,
instead, after six or eight months OF
active service they are detailed for three
months TO Tor di Quinto.

were requstloned for the occasion and
two good runs resulted. To the utter sur
