MITCHELL 1S DISMISRED FROM STATE POLICE The state policé Gommission in session at the capitol Monday refused tq aceept the resignation of Staté Peliceman Thom- as A. Mitchell of Hartford and vited te dismiss him from the fotoe. Superintendent of State Police Themas F. Egan gave out the following official statement of the action of the commis- sto NOTHING HEARD HERE OF DRAFT DESERTER LISTS Nothing has béen heard her yet by the Norwich draft board of a list of draft de- serters such as has béen sent out from Washington to some othér Connecticut cities. Bridgeport and Hartferd are re- ported to have received lists this week. A letter accompanying the lists ex- plaine that the persens nam>d oxf the lists are not to be directly appréached but that other means of verifieation shall be used to determine which namés ought to be climinated from the list. These lists ars not to be published but are to be sent back to the war départment at Washing- ington as soon as possible. The war de- partment urges that the checking up be done with despatch. In the letter the men whose names appear on the list are characterized ai “draft deserters.” As the looal draft boards have no records of any kind, all draft records having been sent to Wash- ington in March of 1913, the most effect- ive means of checking off thoss whose names should appear on the list is to compare it with the American Legion roll of members. Such a large preportion of the service men became members of the American Legion it is quite possible that seme names will be corrected in this way. It is assumed that all names en the American Legion roll are bona fide serviee men and the presumption is i théir favor of having such names rémoved frem the slacker list if they appear there. “Mitshell had - been under suspenaion sincs thé accident on Farmingtén avénue, Hartferd, last Thanksgtving d&y, with thé knowledge that the commission wbuld hear what he had to say with referénce to it. He has failed to appear before tiwe commission, giving various reasons there- for, and now tenders his resignation. The commission voted not o receive the resig- nation and to dismiss him from the force.” Mitchell and another state policeman, Antonio Tonanio, with a young woman, were in a state police automobile when it collided with a trolley ear on Farmington avenuc. Mitchell was seriously injured, but the other state policeman, Tonanio, was less seriously injured. Both men re- ceived hospital treatment. The voung woman escaped with “slight ln)glu.
