Detective Sergt George E. Rose at the coroners inquest
into the death of Arthur Queasbarth in labor dispute
By the method with which he handled the 90 wit
nesses who testified at the inquest Sergeant Rose was
credited by Coroner Edmund J. Knoboch with saving
the county approximately S1400.
Instead of ordering all the witnesses to report the
first day of the inquest then letting them sit about until
needed (whe the county paid each witness 81 per day
fees) Sergeant Rose called in the first day only wit
nesses he was sure would be placed on the stand
Throughout the inquest he called in witnesses only
as their testimony was needed with the result that the
county bill for witness fees was only $3.50
If this procedure had not been followed, the bill
would have run to more than LOO.

Hit EN- in the Wallet, Soldier,
# They Persist in Snobbery
BY DAMON RUNYON

WE HAVE heard that in some
w cities near which military
training camps are located there
is an attitude of social aloofneSs
on the part of the civilian popu-
lation toward the soldiers.
1t is said that in certain Of
these spots the appearance Of
guy in uniform in the vicinity
of a tatting bee, or other local
feStivity, would produce about
the same GOODNESS that might be
created If Commodore Dutch or
SchmalZ the NewSboy showed
up at Mrs. Vanderbilt 5 party
This is a most deplorablc state
of affairs if true. and the sol
dicrS would be quite justified in
adopting the rctallative measure
of counter aloofneSS toward the
civilians, including not spending
their army pay among the civ
vles. We think this would speed
lily cure the worst case OF
aleofness among the latter. espe-
cially those engaged in business.
The most honorable estate in
the nation today is that of the
man in the service. and il is diff
ficul1- helieGe--tAat- ttlAieFa-are-
civilian folks who do not recog-
nize this fact
Certainly the populations Of
cities near which the camps are
pitched should be particularly
warm in their welcome to the
soldiers and the sailors, espe-
cially when you consider that
some of these cities acquired the
camps through political heft in
Washington and not because
they offer any natural advan-
tages as training sites and that
they are thus the benefciaries
of great and undcScrved favor
through the presence of the
service men.
THEY should all follow tho
L example of New York City
which Is supposed TO be- blaSc
and hard but which has the rep
utatalon among the men of the
service as being the fricndlicSt
and most considerable toward the
