CRIME IN EUROPE AND IN' AMERIGA Raymond Fosdick Talks to Men at | Sonth Church About 100 men attended the supper given by the Men’s Brotherhood the South = Congregational church last evening. B. G. Babcock and Clerk A. E. Magnell of the safety board as well as Chief of Police W. J. Rawlings were to hear the splendid talk given by Ray. mond Fosdick of the Rockefeller Insti- tute of New York. Mr. Fosdick is an authority on prevention and detection of crime and took for his topic “Po- licing a Big City.” He told his audience that Ameriga was far infer- jor to Europe in this respect and that Europe was so far ahead that there was no comparison in the technique of the two countries, not only in respect to police but to the whole government. The president of the brotherhood, Raymond F. Gilpatrick, first took the floor and told of the work of the as- sociation. Mr. Fosdick said that he would take for his subject “The Policing of a at in attendance Big City,” but that in his preparation | he had not made allowance for the fact that the local chief of police would be there to check him up. In respect to the general organization this country is so far behind Europe and the European municipality is so far ahead in technique that there is no comparison of the two. Not only in the matter of the police system but in regard to the whole government there are not the brains or technique | behind. In part he said: “The reasons w the municipalities and police departments make such poor showings are due to the facts that the people are not : common race but of a number races. Take for example the city of New York where the foreign popula- tion is 44 per cent. or Boston with its 85 per cent. The statistics of all American cities is high compared with London with its 1% per cent. or Pari with its 3 per cent. Foreign cities are homologous. Take the crime of murder and we find that London has twenty-four a year and Pari only cighteen while New York has some- thing over 400. The city of Cleve- land has three times more murders And when shades work badly and fail to glve satisfaction there is always unlimited trouble. Our work is the best —our shades are all made on the premises when special sizes are essential. We want your order for we know we can give you the class of work that will please you. . -2 ] PRINTING In Many Different Languzgea, BY SKILLED UNION MEN Lt Moderate Prices.

G. Scatton, | 391 Chestnut St., | Indorses It | Tax-a-Tone has indorsements in New Britain that cannot be equalled by any other remedy on the market. I don’t care whether you believe a | word 1 say, said Mr. J. R. Martin the Lax-a-Tone expert at the Economy New England Drug Co., I am simply asking you to believe your own citi- | zens. 1 am putting the proof right | up to the readers of this paper by | vour own friends and neighbors and if | You are in need of a remedy that will give you positive results in stomach, kidney and liver trouble, Lax-a-Tone is that remedy. Prof. Scatton says:i— “I have been a great sufferer with sich headaches, sour acid stomach, gas and bloat. I would have bad at- tacks of heartburn. Many, many ways 1 have tried to obtain relief, but with no avail, but at last 1 have found a remedy and that remedy is Herbal Lax-a-Tone and I do not hesitate to recommend it.” Lax-a-Tone is a scientific remedy composed of the pure juices of herbs. It has not a harmful ingredient in it and its action is swift and sure. You will make no mistake by giving it a trial. It has won a reputation through- out the United States and will convince even the most skeptical after one week’s trial. The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Econ- omy New England Drug Co., 866 Main street, where he is introducing daily this remedy to the New Britain public. — e changed and it is the man's dquty to know everyone on his beat. It is not an infrequent matter in Berlin for the police to round up a crowd in a tneater and take them to headquar- terfs to see if they are all registered. Identification papers are carried in their pockets and if a man leaves them home it goes hard with him. Germany and Austria are the only countries that carry this system. “English police are highly efficient Yut the police of Germany are super- efiicient. To belong tc the police force in Germany a man must have served in the army but in England he is gen- erally taken from the country. The latter are trained for three months and then are considered reliable and nonest. A London ‘bobby’ carries no weapons, only a short stick, while the German goes forth armed for war. One certain instance that I can re- member was a riot in Berlin where “he police charged the crowd only later to find that they had cut up several of their own men in plain clothes as well as a number of by- standers, “That the ‘bobhy’ is level headed is seen from the fact that at one time during the suffrage upheaval a line of these men was spread across Whitehall to stop the women from breaking windows. The women rharged the line several times but on each occasion were only told to go nome. Finally one of the women hit a ‘bobby’ over the head with a beer bottle and his only words were ‘If you do that again I will have to take | you into custody.’ We should get behind officials we believe to be honest and back them | The people of New York are go- | up. ing to back the present system and unless they do they will never have an efficlent system. People of this country are only too willing to jump on an official’s neck.” This last statement caused a laugh ag Chief Rawlings kindly said “Yes”. “Public officials of this country are up against many obstacles. and many of them are due to red tape. Civil service is considered the lesser of two evils and should be used more about the country.” At the conclusion of his talk Mr. Fosdick was asked a number of ques- tiong in regard to conditions aboard which he answered to everyone's sat- icfaction.

Even Roosevelt Quit, “In this country there are laws that govern the moral standing of the community and are passed by the leg- islature. An example is the excise laws, such as those in New York which say that no saloon shall open on Sunday. This does not suit the city with its large foreign popula- tion and therefore is not adapted to the conditons. This law is not forced and in fact it io enforce it for there are enough police to go around. New York has 11,000 officers but there are more saloons than that in the city and thus it is shown that it would be impossible to cover all the terri- tory. Theodore Roosevelt was the only police commissioner that ever enforced them and that was for veeks when he gave it up. “People of the community should have the of thc moral laws of the community as they best know the ~onditions. ny of the laws in force in certain states could not be enforced if an attempt were made and an attempt to repeal would only meet with def for tney like to boast that there is such and such a law in that state.
