aEW HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL
po11cE sERGEANTs 1noruRED.


 The police commissioners held a very brief meeting last night which lasted only about half an hour. All the ser seants were present under orders from the superintendent. Each one was in full uniform and the squad was lined up around the walls of the commission CTS room while an address was read to them by President Mix of the board. No reporters or citizens were allowed in the room and at the close of the meeting, which lasted only long enough for the address to be delivered, none of the commissioners would at first tell what it was all about. One, when ask ed, said that he would "leave 1t to imagination" Later, fearing that per- haps imagination might prove too fer tile, President Mix stated that he had simply called the attention of the ser- geants to certain rules governing their duties and endeavored to impress them with the necessity of complying thoroughly with these rules. He said that the sergeants were spoken to not because of any renissness of duty on their part but simply as a precaution- ary measure and to warn them that the board would allow no laxity in the department.
