NO NEAR-BEER
FOR THE COPS
IMPORTANT ORDER I88UED TO
THE POLICE FORCE YESTERDAY
MORNING BY MAYOR MILLER.
actino recorder.
While acting reorder yesterday
morning Mayor Millar, In open court,
instructed Chief of Police Westeott to
include near-beer In the ltat of drtnka
forbidden officer* when on duty.
Thl* order wu prompted by the evi
dence in a case where an omcer went
Into a toft drink establishment and
obtained a glass of near-beer.
The mayor asked the officer if this
as not forbidden by the regulations
governing the police force, end the of
ficer replied that It was not.
An examination of the rules relating
to officers In this respect shows thai
under a recent deoiaion of th* court of
appeals and according to ans opinion
expressed by th* mayor on the bench
yesterday morning in another case, the
regulations fully cover near-beer.
Rule 10 says: "Police officers and
men are strictly forbidden to enter
any public barroom or drinking room,
except in the discharge of their duty,
while wearing their uniform or any
part thereof.
Rule 1! saya: "All members of the
force while in uniform or wearing
any part of uni form, either on or off
active duty, are prohibited from drink,
ing any intoxicating drinks.
Near-beer has been declared Intox
icating by the court of appeals and
therefore comes tinder th* head of the
intoxicating drinks referred to In the
rule.
This will be news to the police offi
cers, for the reason that they have
considered near-beer as a soft drink
and were of the opinion that they
could drink it the same an they could
go into a place and drink a glasa of
•odawater. k
As a soft drlnkery is a drinking
room, hereafter the police cannot en
ter the soft drinker!es except In the
discharge of their duty.
If the police have been violating this
rule, it wse evidently don* under a
misapprehension. *
But In future they cannot enter a
•oft drlnkery, or take a glass of near-
beer, except in the capacity of a citi
zen.
