WAR HITS POLICE
 DEPARTMENT AGAIN
Tbeater Officers Must Patrol
 Streets Hereafter

As a solution of the problem con- fronting the police department due to the war Chief of Police William J. dispensing with the permanent detail of supernumerary officers at theaters, requiring them to take turns patrol ing beats which might otherwise be left vacant. The plan is not popular with the supernumerary officers who had Well-paid and easy assignments which permitted them to follow regu- lar employment without loss of pay. Supernumerary Officer Michael o 'Brien, who has been doing duty at the Scenic theater turned in his badge last night. refusing to take street duty He said that the public utilities com- mission would not let him work under such conditions.
 O'Brien is a mOtOrman in the em- ploy of the Connecticut Company and his run permitted him to put in three or four hours every night as theater policeman at the Scenic theater. Under the new schedule he would have to take an assignment to patrol a beat all one night, ending his tour at 4 o'clock in the morning. AS he had an early run on the trolley he would get only an hours rest before beginning his regular work. After one night on the street he would have the next night at the theater and he could then go home about Il o'clock and sleep until 5 the next morning when he would have to take his car out, At the end of his days work he would have to do a nine hour stretch for the police department,
 Chief of Police Rawlings has been handicapped for some time for want of men and frequently some of the regular beats have been left unpa- trolled. As there are four theaters in the city it waa decided to try out the plan of using the officers on street work, alternating one night on the street and the next ngiht at the theater. The regular police force will be further reduced when PatrOlman Thomas C. Dolan enters the service next week.

REJECTED SOLDIER
 COMMITS SUICIDE
John Meyers Drinks CarboIiC Acid
 at His Home Here

In a fit of despondency John Meyers, 2 years old, of 117 FairvieW street. committed suicide yesterday afternoon by drinking carbolic acid. He died in the police ambulance on the way to the hospital. Investigations made by officials showed that Meyers had had domestic troubles, and it is believed that he may have been prompted by a desire to escape the draft. Lately he drank excessively.
 Meyers was in the last draft contin- gent sent to Camp Devens and re- turned last Saturday, having been re- jeCted. Since then he has been drink ing. He called on some of the draft officials and made himself objection able by his attitude. He boastfully de- clared that he had been discharged as physically unfit and he wanted to know from the draft board what they pro posed to do about it. He was in |formed that he was still in Class IA and would probably be sent to Camp Greenleaf in Georgia and the army surgeons there might think differently regarding his ability to serve in the army.
 The police received 8 call yesterday afternoon about 4:3O for the ambu- lance and going to IF Fairview street found Meyers writhing in pain in his bedroom. Beside him was a two ounce bottle smelling strongly of car bolic acid It was almost empty. The label had been scratched off.
 A note was found and was appar- ently intended for his wife "'If you think you can stay with your mother, go and stay with her. You may think you have got som mething on Jack, but don't you worry. Jack is taking care of himself. You may think you are getting his money, but you are not. You may think you can stay with Jack, but you can go where you please. I don't care. Goodbye to all" On the envelope Meyers wrote: "Good-bye Dick-Jac1."
 Meyers has been neglecting his family and efforts of friends to make him do better were unavailing, it is said. His wife repeatedly tried to have him do better.
 Jacks money refers to life insur- ance which Meyers carried. The language of the letter. some of the references having been deleted, showed a disregard for his wife. de- spite the fact that for a long time she had to support herself and child.
 Meyers leaves his wife and a son, his parents, MT. and Mrs. John Mey- CTS of 63 Glen street and two broth CTS, Albert and Gerhard.
 The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at o'clock from the home of MT. and Mrs. John Meyers and burial will be in FairvieW cemetery.
