[ieutenant Samuel Bamforth and Doorman Gus- | tave Hellberg, were heard in regard to the matter ,and a written report from Sergeant Ellinger was read. The hoard after listening to the stories, de- clded that the sergeant had acted as he should in making the arrest, after identification had been made. There ! was nothing to support the charges of | abuse of the prisoner. The board de- | cided that In case litigation is brought | the earporation counsel he asked to represent the sergeant, The meeting was the last which Chief Willlam J. Rawlings will at- tend as head of the department. The retiring chief was presented with the gold badge he has worn since taking over th ereins of management, and he also listened to words of praise from varijous members of the board. Rival in Bureau. Chief-elect Willlam C. Hart recom- mended that Detective Sergeant Wil- liam P McCue be detalled to head the detective bureau, and that Sergeant- elect Matthias Rival, who will be pro- moted next Tuesday, be assigned to the bureau. Patrolman James Mc- Cahe, one of the veteran members of the department, was recommended hy the new chief as driver of the police patrol car. When the meeting was called to order last night, Clerk Joseph McGrail passed around cigars with the rliments of Chief-elect William Hart The first business was C. the | | reading of the minutes of the previous meeting. Parker Demands Change. After the minutes had been con- cluded, Commissioner Edwin A. Par- ker asked that the item relative to his nominating Captain Grace for the position of chief be changed. “I did not nominate Captain Grace. After the names of Sergeant Kelly and Sergeant Hart had heen mentioned, I said I suppose Captain Grace is also a | not | candidate. 1 again say T did nominate Captain Grace." There was no objection to the change by any member of the board. McCarthy's Case Again. Under the head of unfinished busi- com- | ; Rival to Be Assistant. badges for members of the commis- sion. Rawlings keeps his badge At this point there was a somewhat dramatic occurrence when the board vozed to allow Chief Rawlings to re tain the badge he has worn for over 20 years as head of the police depart- ment. It was but a fitting tribute to the popular oficial who In a few days will retire from the department, fnto the life of a clvilian again. Chief Rawlings thanked the meml.ers of the board for their kindness. Hs assured | them that he wonld always keep the badge as n remembranes of his asso- clation with the department, A new type of traffic sign, showing the mit for parking, was dis played to the hoard. Tt isa type that can be ueed on troliey and telegraph poles, and Chief Rawlings said that Superintendent F. L. Beardsley of the Connecticut company, has offered the use of the company's poles for the | signs. There was no price quoted for the sign Chief Rawlings reported that a new police signal box, No. 39, has been installed in the department. The Wolf Case Discussed. Chairman Dunn sald that while no charges or complaints have been made to the board, he read within a day or so, an account in the press of a contemplated civil action being brought which involved one of the officers in the police department. | Chairman Dunn said he had received from Chief Rawlings, a report of the affair as made out by Sergeant George C. Ellinger, the officer under fire. The report was read. It con- cerned the arrest of Joseph Wolf, who was charged with breach of the peace and assault, in connection with an attack on Mrs. Herman Papenforth of Russell street, The sergeant said he was at the station when the complaint was re- ceived, and he was detailed by | Lieutenant Bamforth to investigate. According to the report, KEllinger, Doorman Hellberg and Patrognan Michael Brophy proceeded to the scene, and on the way Patrolman Michael Massey was picked up. At the Papenforth home, a description of the alleged assailant was secured. The policemen searched the vicinity, but found no trace of the alleged assailant. Upon reaching Main street, Sergeant Ellinger saw a man standing in front of the Booth bhlock, whose description Hime nese, the petition of Willlam J. Me- Carthy, a discharged supernumerary policeman, for a rehearing of his case was taken up. On a motoin by Com- missioner Thomas F. Jackson the matter was tabled subject to ca Chairman David L. Dunn said he had taken the matter up with the chair- man of the civil servite board re- garding examinations for places as sergeants, patrolmen and supernum- erary policemen. Commissioner Parker reported hav- ing had a conference with Chairman Willlam F. Mangan of the charity Loard, regarding the placing of chil- dren of persons under arrest at the Town Home when such action is war- ranted, and the charity board head was agreeable to the proposition. Wants to Be Cop Again. Chairman Dunn reported a com- munication from Frank Zendzain, of 192% Gold street, a former member of the supernumerary police depart- ment ,asking that he be reinstated in the department. Chief Rawlings ex- plained that the applicant was re- quested to resign, after he had been accused of cowardice in a fracas on Hartford avenue. There was con- siderable discussion of whether or not the applicant would be referred to the civil service commission. The board finally, voted on a motion by Commis- sioner Jackson that the letter be placed on file, und that the clerk be requested to notify Zendzarin that, in the opinion of the board, he was unfit {o be a policeman. Chief Rawlings informed the hoard that after leaving the police department Zendzain con-| ducted a saloon in two different places in the city. | In discussing such matters Chalr- | man Dunn said, that in his belief, it bad thing to allow policemen | to resign when facing such serious | charges. He sald that after a few vears, men who resigned might apply | for reinstatement, and that a new! board, not conversant with conditions, might proceed further than was good | in the case Court Street Parking. | The matter of unlimited parking on for discus- sion last night. Chairman Dunn said he attended a meeting of the common council recently, and that the matter was referred back to the ordinance committee. Commissioner Jackson said that it was not the duty of the police board to interest itself when the subject of traffic was considered for other reasons than traffic con- Aitions and the safeguarding of pedes- trians. It was voted to have a rep- resentative of the board attend the meeting of the ordinance committee when the Court street matter will be discussed, next Wednesday night Chief Rawlings said, in answer to a question relative to unlimited parking on this street, that it does not affect trafic regulations, The matter of painting the trafc signe on the streets was referred to the board of public works Mr. Foote, representing a New Haven badge concern, was called into the meeting to display samples of badges A recess was taken while the board members examined various designs. Chief Rawlings said that it was a good plan to have badges with the number of each policeman on them. The board, however, deferred action on the purchase of badges for the patrolmen, for the reason that only a few years ago, a new badge was adopted. It was voted to recom- mend the appointment of a sub-com mittee, with power, to select a badge for thé new chief, and also four Galbraith and Pattison Carpenters, Builders and General Contractors Estimates Cheerfnlly Given Jobbing Promptly Attended To. was a answered that of the man who at- tacked Mrs. Paul Papenforth. Questioning the man, who proved to be Wolfe, Sergeant Ellinger was given no satisfaction as to the where- .|abouts of the suspect, heing told that it was ‘*‘none of his d—-4 business” where he (Woite) had been earlier in the evening. Wolfe was then placed in the patrol wagon and taken to the Papenforth home. Here Mrs. Paul Papenforth identified him as the man who attacked her. As the police were about to take the prisoner aw: Mr. Papenforth put his hand on Wolfe's chest, but was prevented from strik- ing him by the police, according tn; Sergeant Ellinger's repart 'The report further explaired the alleged actions of Wolfe eitar he had been brought to th police statfon. | Chairman Dunn said that contained in the article in the press was a| statement to the effect that \Wolfe had requested that friends be communi- cated with for ball, hut that this wish was not carried out. The chairman said this was something that the board | should go Into, and ne asked thaf, | providing the board was willing, Lien-! tenant Bamforth be cailed into the meeting to explain what ne knew of the matter. Bamforth Tells Story, Lieutenant Bamforth, toli cf re- ceiving the complaint of the attack on Russell street, and detailing the pol- icemen to make an investigation. It was about 11:30 o'clock when Wolle was brought in, according to the lieutenant. He was hooked on a charge of assault, a‘ter hearing from | the policemen that the woman had positively identified Wolte as the alleged assailant . During the time be| was being booked and searched Wolfe made no request that friends be com- municated with, Bamforth said. The lieutenant said that a few min- | utes before he went on duty, which is | at midnight, Doorman Hellberg suid that Wolfe asked that a friend be tele- phoned to, with a request that bail be furnished. According to the lien- tenant, he did not know whether it| had been complied with, and that he | did not see Wolfe treated with any-| thing but courtesy while he was in| the station. Hellberg- Next Questioned, Doorman Gustave Hellherg, was next called. He recited the incidents leading up to the arrest of Wolfe. He | denied positively that Wolfe had been | subjected to undue violence. The| policeman said it was he who brought the prisoner to the cell room. The| policeman said that Wolfe was not struck by Papenforth. because the police stepped in and interfered when | Papenforth placed his hands on the | prisoner's shoulder. The policeman said that a short| time after Wolfe had bean placed in the cell, he made a request that Mr Eims be communicated with regard- ing furnishing bail. This fact was communicated to both [Lieutenant Pamforth and Sergeant Kelly. The | policeman said that Sergeant Kelly after hearing of the request for a telephone call, sald that it was pretty Iate to get people out of bed, and it was also pretty late to arouse the clerk of the court In answer question by the board chairman as to whether or not the request of Wol%e was complied with, Hellberg an- swered “1 don't think it was." Doorman Hellberg, said that early in the morning, he went to the ceil occnpied by Wolfe, and the prisoner complained about bugs in the cell. He allowed Wolfe to enter another celj He was furnished with newspapers, which he read a while and then lald down to rest. Doorman Hellberg, said that he did see a black bug on the floor, but it was the type of bug that is common in the summer months, and was not of the vermin type.

Dye For ALL Pavries being abused, it was the police who were abused, Wolfe making free use of his tongue, in his arraignment of the local police, their habits and cus- toms, Chalrman Dunn said after hearing the storlfes as told by the police, thaf thepe was no way that the department was involved in the controversy. He said that in view of the fact that the woman was positive in her {dentifica- tion of Wolfe, there was nothing for the police to do but place him under arrest. “They would have been dere- liet, if they had acted otherwise, Chalrman Dunn said 1t was the opinion of Commissioner Jackson that Sergeant Ellinger should be glven an opportunity to present his side of the case. As he was out on a beat, no move was made to get in touch with him. Both Chairman Diunn and Commis- |sioner Jackson spoke of the excellent condition they found the cell room on inspection' a short time ago. Com- missioner Jackson said the board of police commissioners want the mem- bers of the department to know that the commission is hehind them when they do their duty. In regard to the hugs spoken of, Commissioner Parker asked {f the sefzed stills left in the cell room might have a tendency to breed bugs and vermin. Sergeant Hart said that in only one instance, were roaches dis- covered in seized mash, this stuff hav- ling been taken at Mary Wisk's place on Grove street. The new chief ex- plained that this stuff is destroyed as quickly as possible, It was the opinion of Commissioner Lange, that unless the board desired to go deeper into this matter, and hear the other side of the case, it be dropped. Chairman Dunn, sald that the complainants should file charges if they desired. Police “Toot-Toots" Chairman Dunn inquired of Chief Rawlings If the police are equipped with ‘signal whistles. The chief ex- plained such was the case. In an- swer to a question as whether or not the rapping of the night sticks on the sidewalk late at night is a better scheme than blowing these whistles, it was the opinion of chief-elect Hart that it is. Hart Makes Recommendations The matter of detailing a new man in the detective bureau was taken up.| It was first decided to lay the matter | over until the next meeting, but| Chief-elect Hart a short time later announced that he was prepared to make recommendations, and he was |allowed to do 8o. The new chief sald that for the de- tective bureau, he would recommend that Detective Sergeant = William P. MecCue be advanced. According to the new chief, Sergeant George J. Kelly would make an ideal detective | hureau head hut he felt that Kelly was far too valuable an officer in the posi- tlon he now holds to make any change. For the vacancy in the de- tective hureau, Sergeant-elect Matthias Rival, was recommended by the new chief. The changes being about the nam- ing of a new patrol driver, and for this barth, James McCahe, one of the| veterans of the department, was rec- ommended by Chief-elect Hart. In selecting MeCabe, the new chief safd that he has proved to be an excellent | policeman whom he believed will fill the position of patrol driver admir- ably. McCabe was, before joining the | police force, a trolley motorman Chairman Dunn asked if Sergeant- elect Rival was the best man for the place as detective sergeant. Chief- elect Hart sald that Sergeant Kelly was the hest man for the place, but ne felt it inadvisable to change him from the desk position he now holds. According to Chief-elect Hart, Rival has had experience in plafn clothes vork Chief Rawlings said that in the past the new sergeant has shown some aptitude to this kind of police work In regard to naming Sergeant Rival a detective, this was deferred until such time as the new chief may desig nate his fitness for the title. This| plan met with the approval of Com- missioner Jackson. “No Bed of Roses” Chafrman Dunn spoke of the kindly feelings that exists between Chief Rawlings, the retiring head of the de- | partment, and Chief-elect William C. | Hart, who ascends to the head of the department next Tuesday Chief Rawlings, in speaking of the task that confronts the new chief eatd: “His is| not a bed of roses. Criticisms of the police has been going on from time immemorial." ——eee { Why Have Skin Trouble Cuticura Will Prevent It In the treatment of all skin troubles bathe freely with Cuticura Soap and hot water, dry gently, and apply Cuticura Ointment to the affected parts.

It will have a tendency to keep tha policeman’s head in the air, and it will also work out for other comforts for him, as he will not need to wear a starched collar unless he sees fit. Chief.elect Hart estimated the cost of the mili- tary collars at between $1 and $1.25 and the cost for the hew caps at ahout $3.50 Work For Old Timers Chalrman Dunn brought up the matter of finding work for some of the veteran members of the depart- ment, which will be less arduous than that of regular police duty. He sald that personally he does not think it a good plan to place veterans on the atreet for traffic duty, belleving this is work that younger and more active men should be detailed to. Chief- elect Hart sald that there are three theaters in the city, in which some of these men can be detalled for Aduty if they see fit, He explained that while there is a difterence in the hours and in the re- muneration, the latter detail might be made satisfactory, by having these men do traffic duty between 6 p. m. and 7 p. m, and then after eating their lunch at the station, they would be ready for night duty at the thea- ters. Commissioner Parker asked how many days off Policeman Nealon, McCarthy and Cosgrove, who are day and who do traffic work re- was explained that they did not get any off, but that the regular traffic officers have every second Sunday off duty. Should Make Out Reports Chairman Dunn expressed himself as favoring some means by which the board may have reports of police matters. Commissioner Jackson, said that all important reports should be certified by some officer in charge, and this would lessen a great deal of unnecessary work. It was the opinion of Chairman Dunn, that the officer in charge of the desk at the station, should be {informed of all matters, whether of the detective bureau or not. Chairman Dunn spoke of the mat- ter of having each patrolman inform- ed that the conduct of his beat was up to him. Chief Rawlings said this has been explained to the men in the department. Chief-elegt Hart said that there may be cases arise where members of the detective bureau will find out mat- ters during the day that a patrolman on the night heat might find it dif- ficult to unearth. Wishes Hart Well, Chairmun Dunn then extended the best wishes of the board to Chief- elect Hart, assuring him their hearty support ani cooperation. Chief Rawlings said that some of the hecats are now covered by supernumeraries and that at times the same ‘“super’” does not work on the beat two nights in succession. This, in the apinion of the chief, is not the best plan to se- cure results, and he felt that more regular men should be apvointed in the department, Wants To Be A Regular. A communication was received from Stanley Dumbraskas, stating that he had been a supernumerary fcr over two years, resigned, and then was re- appointed to the police department He desires to know if previous service stood in making him eligible for ap pointment to the regular patrol force. It was decided that this was a matter for the civil service board to con- sider. Hart Proffers Thanks Chief-elect Hart extended to the board his thanks for the appoint:nent and also to the press for thelr treat- ment of him in the past. He aiso ex- tended his thanks to his predecessor, and also his appreciation for a ance rendered so far, and he express- ed himself as hopeful that this assist- ance would be rort?comins in the fu- ture, “T will help roll the burden off, as I realizesthe position he is in,’”® Chief Rawlings told the chief-elect and the board. New Chief in Uniform, The chief-elect inquired of the board if his proposed policy to wear a uniform while on duty, met with approval. The board membhers ex- pressed themselves as favorable to the plan. Chief-elect Hart, aleo eald that he favored a plan whereby all officers on duty in the office be re- quired to wear uniforms. Commis- sioner Lange spoke in a commenda- tory manner of the flne appearance Chief Rawlings always made when occasion required his wearing a uni- form. Invitation for Rawlings. Commissioner Jackson in a few words, extended on behalf of the board, an invitation to Chief Rawlings to attend at any time he cares, meet- ings of the police board. Commis- sloner Jackson said that the attend- ance of the retiring chief at meetings will greatly aid in the success of the department, he felt sure. “I cannot find words of appreciation for the fine record you have made. I know you have always been fair and that every posgible courtesy has been shown the citizens of this city, and this also applies to those who have fallen into the clutches of the law," Commissioner Jackson said to the re- tiring chief. Rawlings Replies, Chief Rawlings answering eaid he would be glad to attend meetings when he could 4o so “While I would not want to be |1ooked upon as a dictator, it will be come time before T become weaned |away from the police department. I am leavin@ the police department with the hopes of the good will of the board and the members of the de- partment.” Changes in Traffic. Chief-elect Hart said that on the east side of Main street between the raflroad crossing and Commercial street, there is some dissatisfaction being expressed by merchants because of the no parking restriction. He recommended that the parking re- strictions around fire hydrants be changed from 156 feet to 10 feet. PIRATES VS. CLAY HILL.
