TO DRILL
AND LEARN TO SHOOT

'Tll ay. it's some job" said W. d.
Bee, new police Inspector, as he looked
over the city pstrolmen lined up for
roll call.
Sergt. Bee was thinking Of the work
ahead Of him in getting the policemen
to, put some semblance OF a military
character in their appearance.
It's been n long time since the police
force was drilled or taught to march
to and from the central station when
going on or off duty. Way back when
John Riechman was fire and police
frey was police drilimaster and under
his orders the police force within two
months was able to make a fine show
ing.
But as the policemen on the day re-
lief lined up Friday morning. and when
the night relief answered at roll call
that night, the ordinary Nbystander
would have bet that Il Will take more
than two months to get some Of the
men into light marching order.
When Mayor Paine was introduced
part of the men took off their caps,
some Of them merely stood up a little
straighter, and others attempted a
military salute, in which most of them
failed dismally,
Sergt. Bee. however. Is an expert
enced drillmaster. He viii not try to
work a miracle, but by going slowly,
expects to have the men in much bet
ter physical condition and to salute
with a snap In a short time.
Besides the physical training, he will
put the men through regular target
lspractice and teach them the proper
use Of the revolver. he Is also to be
in charge OF the general discipline OF
the department. No police officer may
hereafter indulge in a smoke while in
uniform, and there will be no loafine
or lounging while on duty.

Druggist Must Answer for

to Have Been Same Which
Caused Woman'S Death.

When Theodore Pinstein, proprietor

charge Of murder in city court e
Tuesday, he win have TO account for
the presence of 81 per cent Of wood
alcohol In Jamaica ginger" which was
bottled and on a shelf In his store where
goods are kept for sale to the public.
For analysis by the city chemist, f. A.

per cent wood alcohol-a deadly poison.
The charge OF murder was placed
against Pinstein last Wednesday. when
he was arrested by Detectives Bishop
following the death the Sunday before
Of Mrs. Bertha Randle, 80 Vance ave-
nue., who drank Jamaica ginger.
Police charge that the woman's hus-
band, L, !. Randle, purchased the dead
~ bottle at PinsteinNs drug store, which
is located at III Beale avenue. Pin
stems clerk, Irwin Bodenheimer, 10, add
mitted that he sold the bottle of deadly
Jamaica ginger. He said the Ameri-
can pharmacy purchased some Jamaica
ginger from wholesale drug houses. bur
that because they could get only 10
~two-ounce bottles at a dime, Pinstein
compounded other Jamaica ginger to
sell, The police think Pinstein made
up the Jamaica ginger with wood al
cohol. Wood alcohol costs much less
than pure grain alcohol.
The bottle the detectives had analysed
came from the shelf on which were

sale. The bottle alleged to have beer
sold to Mrs. Randle was not labeled.
