Police Board Upheld Bryarly Fines In Two Cases
The police trial board findings were approved in two Bryarly cases. Bryarly of the Tenth precinct was fined 30 for entering Brightwood Driving Club bar off his beat and staying over forty minutes. He said he went to see a veterinary surgeon about a sick horse. In a second case Inspector Plemmons charged Bryarly with visiting his home on duty, staying fifty minutes, removing his coat, and reading a paper. He claimed he visited to help his wife and that the coat came off for the wet weather. The chief reported J J Brown’s guilty verdict on violating section 26 and recommended a $5 fine.

Monkeys Tigers Wolves Coyotes Arrive at National Zoo
The National Zoo received its largest animal consignments since King Menelik’s gifts over a year ago. A pair of red howler monkeys from Venezuela, a Brazilian tiger cat from Rio de Janeiro, three timber wolves, and three young coyotes from Opal Wyoming arrived. The howlers, cold affected, may not survive weeks. The tiger cat, named fell vivera, is the first of its kind at the zoo. Wolves and coyotes were donated by Vernon Bailey of the Agriculture Department. Postmortem on a grizzly bear suggested murder by its mate.
