Kennedy, pastor of the First Methodist church, appear- ed before the police board here last night and endeavored to prove charges he made in a sermon recent- ly that New Haven is a lawless city. Although most of ,his replies to questions asked by Mayor John B. Tower, President John B. Kennedy and other members of the police board were in general terms, the pastor became specific at times and | reiterated his charges that the law is being openly violated in New Ha- ven. He declined to supply the commissolners with the names of his informers on the ground that the information had come to him in con- fidence. These charges and stories, he said, came from men high in bus- 'Scholarships In School of Design Awarded to New Britain Students GEORGE E.

Consequently he de- clared, there are limitations to the Jjobs. The Rev. Mr. Kennedy then men- tioned two of the cafes raided Sat- urday night and asked the commis- sioners if they cared to go on record as saying that they did not know those places were violating the law. Chief Smith replied that the pl had been looked into at other times and that arrests had been made pre- | viously. Road Houses Terrible “My conviction,” tha Rev. Kennedy sald, “is that the house condition in and near Haven has reached a terrible stage.
