New Britain POLICE BOARD WILL SEEK INVESTIGATION Al Commissioneng Approve At- titude of Chairman on Probe At a speclal meeting of the board of police commissioners held last night it was the decided opinion of each one that if the veto of the mayor, relative to the appointment of a committee to investigate the poice beard and police department, is sustained by the com- mon council and either the present committee or a new committee is not appointed to continue the investiga- tion, the board of police commission- ers should demand a complete investi- gation of the board and the depart- ment. It was announced in the “Her- ald” last week that the board would adopt this course. s Commissioner Thomas F. Jackson stated that as long as the common council started the thing in the first place and wants an investigation and as long as a cloud has been thrown over the department’s head, he was of the opinion that an investigation should be demanded. “I want to see this thing through” he said, “because there have been some insinuations made that do not bring credit to the board and the de- partment, and I believe that they should be cleared up.” Commissioner Jackson said that if the council fails to carry out its intentions he will in- troduce a resolution before the board asking that it demand an investigation to be made. Commissioner Lange said that there has been a great deal of talk about the probe on the streets and in shops and he heartily agreed with Commis- sioner Jackson. He said that they are talking about men 49 and 50 years of age who have been named regular po- licemen and who in reality are 39 years old. % Commissioner Parker and Chairman David L. Dunn both stated that it was unfair to the board to have stories about it circulated about town and each agreed that the investigation should be made in order to get at the bottom of the subject. Palmer’s Application Faulty The board failed to appoint Atwood G. (Lefty) Palmer to the supernum- erary force and it is doubtful if he will be able to play with the coppers in the Meriden baceball game. Pal- mer's application, with others, was tabled because the proper birth certi- ficate did not accompany the applica- tion. The rules of the department de- mand proof of age. The commissioners received appli- cations for appointments to the super- numerary force as follows: John Rap- panotti, 79 Elm street; Felix Faltin, 391 Arch street; Willlam J. McCarthy, 12 Gilbert street; Atwood G. Palmer. The first application was referred to Chief Willlam C. Hart to investigate as to the applicant’s age and he will be asked to appear before the board at the September meeting. The Faltin application was tabled to investigate why he left the department a few years ago. Chief Hart, who was present at the meeting, stated that Palmer did not seek the appointment at the present time merely to play on the baseball team. He said that he intended to be- come a policeman a year ago. The chief further stated that he did not think Palmer would be eligible to play in the Meriden games and he express- ed the belief that the Meriden team would object to his playing if he was appointed. Not “After” Licutenant Chairman Dunn said that a report was circulated about town a time ago to the effect that the commissioners were “after” the lieutenant. He is- sued ;a statement denying the report and said that it was absolutely untrue. He said that he spoke for the entire board and if he was wrong, he thought this was the time to talk about it. Nonegof the commissioners commented on the matter. As the meeting was about to close Commissioner Parker inquired wheth- er members of the police department should appear before the commen councii investigation committee, in the event that such a committee is ap- pointed. Chairman Dunn stated that the police board has charge of the police departments and all complaints or grievances should be made to the board. If necessary, he said, mem- bers of the department can be in- structed not to appear before the com- mittee unless they have the permis- sion of the commissioners.

NO EXPLANATION ' FOR KILLING NEGRO Police in, Jacksonville Can Find No Offense “Which Might Have Caused Trouble. Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 26.—No ex- planation had been found early today by county officials for the attack ldst night upon two negroes by four white men which ended in the death of one negro along King's road, thtee miles from the city. The body found in the ditch with handcuffs on the wrists, was riddled with bul- lets. Nearby residents said the other negro jumped up and ran away after the white men left. An automobile was following the white men and four other cars were said to have been stopned about half a mile away. After the shooting the four white men jumped into the car and started towards Jacksonville. A few minutes later the other cars followed, There have been no offenses of offenses of any kind reported to au- thorities that might have caused a lynching, it was said.

Seventy of his 88 years in the priest- hood were spent in Ceylon, NAPOLEON’S CENTENARY REVEALS THREE SURVIVORS The centenary of the death of Na- poleon was widely observed in various parts of the world. Paris made it the occasion of a high requiem mass, celebrated by Cardinal Dubois in Notre Dame, and the Abbe Hen- nocque, a war veteran with the ro- sette of an officer of the Legion of Honor and a war crgss with a dozen stars, meaning citations for bravery, preached a sermon eulogizing Na- poleon’s services to the French na- tion and its youth. Banners of fa% mous Napoleonic regiments, taken from their shrine in the Hotel des In- valides, were paraded in a, great mili- tary review at the Arc de Triomphe. Ajeccio, in Corsica—Napoleon's birth- place—Warsaw, Waterloo, Brussels, assoclated with his triumphs or de- feats—had celebrations of their own, and at St. Helena, where he passed his last period of exile and where he died, a British battery fired a salvo of 100 guns at the hour of Napoleon's death 100 years before. From the town of Jamestown on that island came the interesting report that three witnesses of Napoleon’s exile still live—two tortoises that have reached the age of 170 years, and a gray par- rot, which, though 120 years old, still repeats the name "chera! Bona- parte.” MRS. AVERY IMPROVING.

Mi HARDWARE ATTACKS ‘DRYS' WHO RUSH OFFENSIVE Trying to Bring Coolidge to Their Views Too Soon, Says Stayton BY GEORGE H. MANNING (Washington Burean of New Britain Heraid), Washington, D. C., Aug. 25.—The activities of Governor Pennsylvania, Senator In scoring these activities of the prohibitién forces, Captain Stayton indicated that he had in mind the pressure brought to bear on the pres- ident, within two days after his erri- val in Washington, for an early call of a conference of governors on the sub- ject of prohibition, and in which Mr. Coolidge was “reminded” of the late president’s intention to cal] such a conference. In sharp contrast with the activi- ties of the bone-dry adherents, asserts Captain Stayton, is the decorous atti- tude taken by the liberal who, he says, are willing to give un- divided encouragement and support to the new president in his efforts to meet the various problems of his of- fice as they arise, and to walt until such time as the president himself sees fit to take up prohibition and its enforcement for special consideration. elements, “Recent calls by Governor Pinchot and others on the new president have been definitely. connected with pub- ‘lished statements tending that the object was to have Mr. Cool- idge llned up with the prohibition- to show Read them regularly—every day S Published by the New Britain Herald in eo-operation with the American Association of Advertising Agencies } THE HERALD HAS BY FAR THE LARGEST CIRCULA.

Even on that ground, however, their rushing tactics constitute a tacit con- fession of either the universetlack of prohibition enforcement, or of the un- enforceability of the drastic provisions of the Volstead Act, or of both, as contrasted with the ability of the Fed- eral and state governments to enforce other legislation ‘which commands the approval and respect of- a:free and law-ablding Amerjcan citizenry. “What the rabid drys' are really after, however, is to enlist the support of the new president in fasbening the. chains of Volsteadism irrevocably on the necks of the American people.” As usual, they deliberately” confuse the questioh of law enforcement ‘with: that of the right of congress to ‘modify the terms of application of the Eighteenth Amendment by appropriaté and en- forceable legislation which would per- mit the substitution of “wholesome beverages of a harmless alcoholic con- tent for the poisonous intoxitants now illegally sold, and thus end’the reign of the bootlegger and bring back uni- versal respect for the law. ** & “So far as the Association Agiinst the Prohibition Amendment s con- cerned, it believes that the question of a change in the presnt fanatical and injurious prohibition laws 1§ one of the utmost importance to the peo- ple of the United States.
