Following the order of Chief Jennings
on Monday, which prevents newspaper
men from Inspecting thla docket, one
of the police reporter! walked Into the
office of the station sergeant Tuesday
morning, and, ndtlclng tha big "secret"
book of Information on the desk, asked
If he might look at It. Assistant Sta
tion Sergeant Turner promptly sprang
to the aide of tha docket, and, with a
determined expreaalon on hla face, ex
claimed:
"Nay, nay, Paulina. Thla book shall
nevermore be pat under tha spotlight."
And then, netting out of the deek an
old rusty lock and key, long alnce out
of service, the assistant sergeant laid
these on top of the dosed book, with
the remark:
iThe rule provides this book shall be
kept under lock and key.”

on indirect order to him from the police

the chief stated that Information that
the rule waa being violated came to him
Indirectly from the commissioners.
