STRICT OBEDIENCE
CAUSES A LAUGH
St. Petersburg, Dec. 3.—Strict
adherence to discipline has made
the police of this city the laugh
ing stock of Europe. Going mad
suddenly, a police captain in the
central district made his way to
the police station about midnight
and paraded all the men off duty.
Then, ordering them to provide
themselves with a candle, he
wrapped himself in the Russian
Hag anil proceeded to put J\is men
through various exercises, linal
ly telling them to shout for help
at the lop of their voices from
the windows of the police station.
Suspecting something was
wrong, a patrolman mustered up
sufficient courage to notif> head
quarters. The maniac was over
powered and removed lo a hos
pital.
