What's this? Some of California's leading peace officers behind the bars in jail? No, it's just some of the delegates to the four-day convention of the California Peace Officers' Association engaging in a little fun at their headquarters in the Huntington Hotel in Pasadena. The recreation room of the hotel has been turned into a "jail" with cell bars and convicts' uniforms as atmosphere. Left to right: Chief L. E. Jones of Richmond; Chief J. A. Greening of Berkeley; Chief William J. Quinn of San Francisco; Chief William M. Hallanan of Sacramento; Capt. Duncan Matheson and Capt. D. W. Dullea of San Francisco. Note: racist sign above bars read, "Kelleys Kolored Koons, fancy nuts." Photograph dated October 5, 1934.
