It will consist entirely of members and ex- members of the regiment of High School Cadets, and fs to be captained by W. Mor- gan Shuster, several years ago captain of Company A of the cadets and later colonel of the regiment. Col. Shuster is reported as declaring that he has received assu arces that the commanding general will direct the mu tering in of the new organ- soon as it is in proper shape, withstanding the announcement several months ago to the effect that ro more new companies would be received into the bri- gade until the membership of the present organizations is swelled to the required figure. In the event that Col. Shuster’s command becomes a body of soldiers in the eyes of the law, it is natural to infer that it will be ined to the 3d Battalion.

Especially has the ac- tion of the police been condemned, and it is generally thought that the facts show the need of an improvement in the police service. Only a faw days ago a young man of respectable parents was placed under arrest, and, as stated in The Star at the time, he did not have the amount of collateral necessary to leave for his sv- curity, and so he was locked up. It wa. his first offense against the ordinance, anu it was also his first experience in police circles. The latter was a sad one. No ex ception was made because of his youth or his gentlemanly bearing. He was not given a seat in a witness room cr in the office until his parents could be notified aud given an opportunity to deposit the necessary collateral, nor was bicycle deemed sufficient to cover the amount, but he was treated as a criminal, treaied the same as if he had robbed or murdered some one, and was put ina cell behind the heavy iron bars. In a cell on one side was confined a crazy woman, while on the other side was an intoxicated man. The yells and screams of these prisoners made an everlasting impression on the young man, and the shock was so great that he will not forget his experience fur some time to come. 1n court he urged his treatment as the reason why he should not be further punished, and Judge Kimball made an exception in his case and did not impose a fine, but put him his excuse one. “This ca: porter, change in sons arrested.
