Another misunderstanding as to authority in the police department came to the surface during the pres- ent week. Policeman Leary cleared the sidewalk of a crowd that had as- sembled to hear the Salvation army soldiers talk and give vocal and in- stfumental music, informing the of- ficer in command that the place des- | ignated for the meetings was near the monument and,not at the curbing of the street, where the meetings| interfered with public traffic. The po- liceman told the newspapers that he was aoting under orders from the cap- tain and would see to it that the side- walk was not blocked. In response to a query Police Captain Haven made assertion that no such orders had been fssued. This statement reached the newspapers and out eame the potfce- man with the reply that the orders were lgsued by Lisutenant Jeffers and e captain bad told him that it of his duty to keep the Policeman Leary deala®ed that he had unquestion- ed guthority te order that the meet- the lnomzdmt"zt ;:s that was the place originally designat- ed for theae mestings, and that the former Salvation army officers Te- spected such order. The press discussion by the police- man would indlcate that New London instead of having a united day and night police force has practically two separate departments the man 1" churge at night having nothing in common with the captain on duty days, with power to issue orders, standing orders, without the knowledge and consent of the captain who is sup- posed to be in command of the de- partment. These commissioned offi- cers of the department have made no such claims as to conditions, but the policernan b that such condition does exist. It would perhaps be well for the members of the police force to get together and come to an under- standing. There is at least one policeman in New London who insists in relating his tals of woe as a guardian of the peace to almost any willing _ears and it not averse to enter into discussion of matters that refer to ‘his superior officers and thesgeneral system of the police force, It is this say-so here and that say sometimes, ven well-regulated po- loo departments.
