IT HAPPENED © IN SEATTLE! A WOMAN pushing a go-cart in which a baby slept, and with a four-year-old boy clinging to her skirt, worked her way through the crowd in the Pike st. market yesterday afternoon, looking for bargains The boy accidentally brushed against a stand kept by a Japanese, and a cucumber fell to the floor. The little tad stooped and picked it up The Japanese saw a very small boy holding a cu- cumber which had not been paid for. He sought out Poticeman PF. Ar Greer: -* e +; The officer arrested the woman, the boy AND THE BABY! There were in the market crowd other women with children. The sight so roused the mother spirit in them that they crowded around Greer and his prisoners, protesting. Greer called other officers to his aid. The patrol wagon was called, and the mother and her babies were bundled into it, AND CARTED THROUGH THE PUBLIC STREETS—GO- CART AND ALL—TO POLICE HEAD- QUARTERS. There they wére promptly released, without even being booked or their names ascertained. Mayor Gill has ordered an_ investigation into Officer Greer’s act of peculiarly cruel stupidity. “Even if it were conceded that the woman was guilty of theft—and it isn’t by’ any means clear thatea theft was committed—the act of the police- man would still be inexcusable,” said the mayor. “Tt is not my policy to send women, much less children, to the station in a patrol wagon.” Fred Harvey, who has a stand at the market, knows the woman “She's a good woman and a mighty fine mother,” said Harvey today, “and one of my best customers.” AT FIRST BLUSH, Greer's stupidity does I not that it merest chance that it was not YOUR four-year-old who by knocked the cucumber off the stand. It was merest chance that it was not YOUR wife and babies who were dragged to the patrol wagon and publicly disgraced POLICEMEN TO WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN BRAINS SHOULD USE THEM TO THINK WITH, BRAINLESS POLICEMEN HAVE NO BUSI- NESS ON THE FORCE.
