DRUNK 1 TO BE ARRESTED Chief Hart Orders Desk Men to
 Lock Them Up LEE GETS 25 DAY PENALTY
Patrolman Tells Commissioners He Accepted Drink From Man He Never Saw Before-Drunkenness on Duty Charge Dropped.

Any member of the police de- partment who is taken off duty for alleged intoxication in the future will be locked up at police headquarters like any other drunk, and physi- clan called in to make a thorough examination of his condition" was the statement made to the board of police commissioners last night by Chief William c. Hart after the board had passed Judgment in the case of Patrolman Thomas Lee, charged with being intoxicated while on duty, and with drinking liquor while on duty. The chief said that he would issue orders to all desk men at the station to follow this procedure in the future.
 The charge against Lee of being intoxicated while on duty was dis missed by the board and he was found guilty of drinking while on duty and suspended for 25 days, the suspension to start from December 0 WGtl lS W uo lbl lilolly Sllnl 5Od hih placed under suspension by Chief Hart.
 The rumors of a frameup in the case that have been prevalent since the hearing before the discipline committee Monday night proved to be unfounded in developments at the meeting last night, Lee denying that he had accused anybody of try ing to frame him in the case. In speaking of the rumors of frameup, Chairman David L. Dunn of the board said that he thought that the testimony at the meeting was a con- vincing proof that none of the wit ness there had any desire to harm Lee for they had an opportunity to do so and nobody had taken ad- vantage of 1t.
 Found fin Rear of Building
 The charges against Lee were the result of his failure to appear at police headquarters on the morning of November 26 at 6 o'clock, after he was scheduled to have put in his last ring at the Main street rail- road crossing sat 5:55 o'clock. Lee was found in helpless condition, with the odor of liquor on his breath, leaning against the rear of the United building. He was unable to walk to police headquarters and the service car was called and he was taken first to the station, and then to his home. Arriving home, Lee went to bed and was under a doctors care for about @ week.
 Appeared Helplessly Drunk
 Sergt. Matthias Rival, on duty the morning Lee was brought in. was the first witness to testify before the board. He said that when the pa trolmen came into the station at 5 o'clock, he missed Patrolman Lee. He asked where he was and Patrol man Thomas Rouski told him he was in an alleyway on Main street sick and unable to walk to the sta- ton. Sergt Rival sent Patrolman Herbert c. Lyon and Rouski over with the police service machine to get Lee and bring him back to the station.
 When the service machine arrived at police headquarters. Lee said that he was unable to go into the station as he was too sick and weak so sergt. Rival went out to the ma chine and spoke to him. The ser geant said that he caught the odor of liouor from Lees breath, and the policeman appeared to be helplessly
