TO the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
In my communication of Tuesday I
should have said that there are so far
thirty members of the Goat Armour
Society, or at least that number who
hope to join. OF this number only two
are from New Haven, the others from
Boston, Richmond, Baltimore, Say
brook, Albany and Charleston, None
need seek admittance unless their pa
pers are verified by Herald's college,
London, or Burke of Debrett from
their Herald's visitation, 1890. 1t is to
be hoped that reunion will be held at
the Savoy on the 18th of June, the
anniversary of the signing of the mag
ma charta by John at Runnymede, 1915.

A BIG EVENT

For the Reception of Sarsfeld Guard
January % and 29 at the Second Regi-

w. 7. Glover and George w. Con-
terno representatives of Conterno's

last evening and have made special ar
engagements for the production Of Con-

for indoor amusemnt DR.. G.. e. Con-
terno, associate director of Conternos
famous concert band, and composer of
the musical spectacle, Battles of Our
Nation" is one of the youngest and
brightest musical composers in the
country. He enjoys the honor of being
university graduate-a rating which
few musical people ever acquire. He
also enjoys the great advantage of hav-
ing successfully appeared as composer
and director in the great capitals of
Europe, fact which places him beyond
most musicians. 1t is not generally
known that DR.. Conterno has person.
ally directed some Of the most famous
orchestras in London, Paris and Ber-
lin, and won great success by his bril-
liant magnetism as a graceful and high
class director. An instance of his sue
cess while he was in Berlin will serve
to illustrate how well-equipped he is in
all that tends to make an excellent ar
fist. The prelude to his opera, Co
lumbus, was rendered at the celebrated
Concert Haus, the doctor being re-
Guested to direct the piece. Upon his
appearance no applause was given as
he was a stranger who had not yet
received the stamp of approval from
the public The audience watched him
closely as he directed the large body of
vocalists and instrumentalists, and
when the piece was finished tremen-
dous burst of applause greeted him for
his mastery work. DR. Conterno had
won the esteem of the greatest musical
nation on the earth. The splendid en-
tertainment is to be given in this city
for the benefit and under the auspices
of the Sarsfield Guard No doubt big

mbracing the conversion of the lots from

DETECTIVE FORCE
Thorough Reorganization Of the Department
Regarded as an Absolute Necessity
for Its Efficiency.

Casa murder IL ever murder was COM
mltted-yet the police were unable to de-
tect the criminal, and a timely Coroner S
verdict OF suicide absolved them from fur
ther responsibility IN the affair, and they
were glad enoug to let il drop.
Then there was ne case of Police Off
Ger OsgoOd and that OF Policeman n chol-
son, both good men who were murdered
while in the performance of their duty,
but the upper office never got a line on
their assasSins, both of whom are still at
large.
Next came the Jacobson murder and
the police, after prolonged investigation,
eharged Sydney Bell with the crime. Now
anybudy who followed that case closely is
as positive as am that Bell never killed
Jacobson. The story OF the murder which,
L believe TO De true, was cuIr.nt talk, but
the authorities never permitted it to come
out In Bells trial and the murderer has
never been definitely known.
The daylight murder OF Miss Harring-
ton, the butchery of Mrs. Langfeld by
BlaRther, who got away, and the Weare
II urder, followed IN ra pid succession, and
all are monuments TO the incapacity of

AS showing the earnestness Of the men
named on the committee, all were present
but Z. A Denicke, who sent his regrets
and said that his heart was fully in the
movement for tha bettering of The city in
the way under deIiberation. He was kept
away by some important business.
The Mayor called the meeting to order
by reading Supervisor Devany's resolu-
ton giving official sanction to the move
ment. He stated he was highly pleased
that the committeeman had so promptly
responded. Immediately after the May
ors remarks J. B. ReinsteIn, the origi-
nator of the association, moved that the
Mayor act as chairman. The motion was
CARED.
II. H. Hobbs and Charles o. Burton, of
the Grand Jury, were present TO aid the
committee in any way they could con-

are by men who have served terms in San

There should be a scientific system in
