W. and Blaine. Seattle, Wash., Aug 19, "11. Editor The Star: Would like to tell the readers of your paper of one way the police have of doing ‘business in Seattle. Sunday even- ing August 6, two boys, aged 18 re- spectively, walked into a poolroom to watch the game, and, after watching quietly for a time they fell asleep. They were awakened by an officer, who beat them over the legs with his club, sent for the rol wagon and rushed them off to the city jail. Instead of releasing them the next morning they*were transferred to the county jail. Here they were imprisoned with criminals of va- rious types for 12 days before the parents were. notified by the ma tron. When one mother answered the summons to appear in the juve- nile court, it seemed the juvenile officer had no record of any such @ase. In fact, no one seemed to | won't let it-—Philadelphia Record.| Magazine. know anything about the matter when finally the boys were located in the county jail, without a charge preferred against them, treated as criminals when their only offense | | was going to sleep.
