KEEPING THE PARKS CLEAN.

Lieut.. Col, c. q. SHERRILL, super
intendent of public buildings anc
grounds, writes the editor in regart
to an article in these columns con
corning the arrest Of a man in thu
Public Library Park for throwing
orange peelings upon the ground. Col
Sheriff. says:
I wish to assure you that the
facts as presented by this COM
plainant are without foundation
30 far as any evidence presented
to me Is concerned. My investiga-
ton indicates that the actual
facts are that this man was guilty
Of littering up the park and that
when he was told that he would
have to pick up the orange peel .
ings, which, by his own statement,
he had thrown down, he refused to
do II and objected most strenu-
ously to being Inundated by being
required to do so. Unfortunate
ly he felt no humiliation at having
committed the offense OF littering
up the park, but only that he was
caught doing so.
1t is reported to me that this
individual is of foreign birth and
probably not a resident of the
United States long enough TO have
become imbued with its sanitary
ideals.
This office isDmaking every ef-
fort to secure the cooperation Of
the public in keeping the parks Of
Washington clean and this will be
done by moral suasion where this
can be made effective. but IL kind
treatment and suggestion does not
produce the result, II then becomes
necessary to use whatever force
may be required to accomplish the
purpose.
We are strongly with Col. SHEER
RILL as 60 keeping the parks clean
but we do object. and most strenu
ously, to park policemen or any othel
policemen publicly humiliating re
spectacle men or women by drag
ging them along by their clothes t,
a patrol box and then hauling then
to a police station in a patrol wager
for simple offenses. II a man re
sists and is palpably deliberate VIC
lator Of the law the officer is justified
In these minor offenses a tactfu
policeman, park or otherwise, cal
quietly escort an offender to the pc
lice station without attracting ,
crowd OF people or telephoning 70
a patrol wagon.
In the particular case referred to
the statement Of the park police
man Is accepted by his superior OF
ficers. We do not wish to bottle
about the differences in the state
ment OF facts.
We simply say that there is n
excuse for dragging a man by hi
coat to patrol box and holding hin
until patrol wagon arrives. Tina
case and a number of others calle
TO our attention could have been han
died with tact. without public humi
iation.
