'DICKINSON —DRUG Q0. wuksVeer i lSEVEN'I'Y FIVE MEN DRILLGROUND FOR POLICE IS TOTAL IN €. E| RECOMMENDATION OF CHIEF {\'Iar Department Issues Bulletin on Recruiting At 10 o’clock this morning Company E, First Regiment, had seventy-three | enlisted. men and two commissioned officers, an increase of eleven enlisted men since Wednesday night. The last two recruits to enlist were Joseph Todzia and Joseph McDermott. in reference to recruiting, the command- ant of the local company has received the followimz orders from the Depart- ment of the East: “You are advised that it ls the pol- fcy of the war department to dis- charge all men who 'have enlisted since thedeclaration of war, upon the termination’ of the emergency. This the national guard.” From Adjutant General Cole and Governor Holcomb the following bul- letin has been received at the armory, also relating to the recruiting of the national guard: “Referring to the circular letter of | April 9 regarding the discharge of National Guardsmen with families de- rendent on them for support, mem- { bers of which are liable to become | charges on the government in ‘case j they are called into federal service. You are advised that the discharge of { men solely because they are married or have families is not authorized when their means are ample for sheir | support or when their business can | be so conducted during his absence as ; to afford support, a discharge will not { be granted.” One Soldier Discharged. Thus far but one Company E man has been discharged because of hav- | ing dependents. He is Private Wil- i liam B. Coats, who enlisted after the | troops were mobilized. He will prob- ‘ably receive his discharge papers on { Monday. Three other enlisted men have applied for discharges in this | company. On Monday the new recruits’ of { Company E will report for drill and they will.'be in charge of Sergeant Veley. There are several vacancies in the non-commissioned ranks of Com- pany E, but Ldeutenant Griffin does not intend to make the appointments until the first of the month, when he will appoint the men according to the merits they have exhibited. Second Lieutenant Robert Harris has been ap- pointed - summary court officer for New Britain and will have charge of | all court martials where the offense | committed is a minor one. Tomorrow jthe first call will sound at 7:45 o’clock after which the men will be ! excused for the day. Stanley Bosco, a Comp-.ny E private, has been marked ! ! as a deserter. He failed to report at | the armory following the call to mo- bilize. In Company I Attillo Juan- ' tonio has been marked as a deserter | and Alex Grabowski has been marked | likewise. Several men of Company I : are reported to be ill with the grip. The members of Company E at the ! armory yesterday were given a med- ical inspection. This morning Lieu- | tenant Grifin drew the men up for an inspection of arms and equipment. The lleutenant commended the-men upon the excellent condition of thelr equipment.

Rawlings Also Speaks of Congested Quarters in Annual Report—2,163 Ar- rests Made During Year. ‘Noting substantial increases in all branches of police department activ- i ities, the annual report of Chief Wil- lam J. Rawlings, submitted to Clerk A. E. Magnell of the safety board and to be considered at the board’s next meéeting, is of peculiar interest and is i indicatory of the growth of the city and ~ its commercial advancement. Note 'is made of the increase in busi- ness handled by the detective hureau, mention made of the target practice CHIEF W. J, RAWLINGS conducted by the department and rec- ommendations made for a location to ! ‘| drill regular and supernumerary po- licemen, augmenting the signal sys- tem and the congested conditions | existing at headquarters. The report, in part, follows: Strength of the Department. July 1, increased by the appointment of ten new patrolmen. By reason of ad- vancement, resignation, and death, there are two vacancies in the ranks of the regular force. The strength of the force April 1, 1917, is as follows: Chief, captain, three street sergeants (change every four months to desk duty), forty-five regular. patrolmen and fifty-five supernumerary officers, subject to duty when wcalled upon, making a total of one hundred men available in case of emergency. The office of supervisor of traffic has been created, who has charge of traffic squad, and is responsible for | the efficiency of the officers, and re- ports to the chief of police conditions as they exist. There are ‘at present on the traffic squad five regular traf- fic officers, and five day officers who “fill in"” during the busy hours, and the schedule is so arranged, to cover the principal corners, and for the protection of children going to and from school. During the year, one sergeant and one patrolman have resigned and one patrolman hag died. Owing to the lange increase of work in the detective department, a patrol- man has been detalled to assist the detective sengeant in his duities. Twice each month the officers are required to report for target practice, which has developed many good shots, and has' given all a chance to become efficlent in shooting, and becoming familiar in the handling of fire arms. A place should be secured, and ar- rangement made for drilling both the regular and supernumerary officers, a training which greatly improves ap- pearance of the officers. Additional signal boxes are re- quired, and the changing of some now in use, to new locations to meet the requirements of new beats created, thereby increasing the efficiency of the signal system. I again call vour attention to the congested conditions of the patrol- men's quatters, both in locker room and rest room. They certainly are in a deplorable condition, from the standpoint of convenience and sanity conditions. I trust this matter niill receive your early attention and make provisions that will be a credit to the city and comfort to the officers. The following tabulated statement will show the various kinds of work that has been accomplished. ‘Offenses Which Caused Arrests.
