Swift Punishment a Deterrent Of Crime

The most important duty OF any
police force is the control of the vsgrant
aud criminal CLASSES and the prevention
of crimes against person and property.
There are many other aud important
fields of usefulness, bat unless the
force is sccessful in dealing with crime
1t is a failure. AS a deterrent of crime,
nothing is probably more effective than
swift and sure punishment, In Eng.
land, a murder trial is completed
within a few weeks, or months at the
outside, after the apprehension of the
accused, and from the first trial there
is no appeal tot higher court of review
or appeal. The wisdom of permitting
no appeal 10 capital cases is a quesuop
which has been widely discussed, and
cannot be taken up mere, says Avery
d. Andrews, writing for the March
Cosmopolitan. Whether wise anu
humane or not, it is interesting to note
that the police records show an aston
ishingly small number of murders ~
London, and believe that the c%elerlll
with which the trials are conducted
mss much to do with the suppression OF
this most heinous of all crimes. Accor-
ding to the official report of the Con-.
missioner Of the Metropolitan police,
there were reported to the London
police only twenty four murders In the
calendar year 1901 and this out of a
population Of over 5000, 900.

WALLINGFORD.

Saturdays recorded real estate transfers were c. F. Wooding company to F. A. Wallace, property southeast corner Main and Center streets; Cliff ton J. Morse to Ezra L. Post, house and lot 100 feet front on North Main street: Albert B. Sanford to R. Wal lace & Sons Manufacturing company, house and lot 7Ox220 feet, one lot 50x150 feet, both on Quinnipiac street.
 It will undoubtedly be news to many here in Wallingford to learn of the death of Warren Dayton, which oc- cured at Melrose, Fla, last month. MT. Dayton lived here for many years and was a joiner by trade. For a number of years he lived on the turn pike south of the Masonic home. He leaves a sister, Mrs. Allen, living in Meriden, and a son in Bristol.
 MT. Dayton was found dead in his sailboat, Saturday, April IS, lying over the edge with his head in the water. His. shoes, stockings, hat and coat were on the landing, and his overalls were rolled up to his knees. It is believed that as he was about to bail out his boat, he had one of the heart failures to which he was subject, and fell dead.
 Accanaut lodge will celebrate the twenty-eighth anniversary of the resuscitation of the lodge on Tuesday evening. There will be literary and musical programme, serving of re- treatments and dancing. District Deputy Pierce of South Meriden has been invited and also Friendship en- campment, Aquilla lodge and all resi- dent Odd Fellows.

being to prove that, despite their asser- tioas, they were prejudiced in favor of a lift bridge.
 During the debate one citizen said, referring to Mir. Dewell, that outsiders should not be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the town of Orange. An other wanted to know what D. Goffe Phipps would have to pay for the s20,- 900 benefit which a draw or lift bridge would be to his property. while still another referred to Senator Platt as unnecessarily interfering in the ques- ton.
 After the various amendments had been disposed of the vote for the fixed bridge was passed and the meeting soon after adjourned, a motion re- garding assessments and damages be- ing tabled.

RAISED StOO PER MINUTE
AND SECRETARY LOTZE WORRIED
 FOR'TWENTY MINUTES.

He Then Had S2,O0O subscrIbed-IDter- esting Service In FIrst Methodist
 With thc DoxOIogy.
 The feat of raising two thousand dol lars in twenty minutes, or one hundred dollars per minute, was accomplished by W. c. Lotze in the First Methodist church, at the corner of Elm and Col lege streets, yesterday morning. MT. Lotze, who is the secretary of the New Haven Y. NJ. c. A., has reputation as a money producer, but his work of yes- terday was considerably out of the or dinary.
 The financial status of the church was made known by the treasurer after Rev. pr. Baker had made few re- marks concerning the necessity of rais- ing $2,000 to meet current expenses of the church for the ensuing year. It was announced that the church is en- tirely out of debt but that the rental of the pews would fail to meet expenses by the sum above mentioned. Dr. Bak- CT then placed the meeting in charge of MT. Lotze. A blackboard was used and by unique system MT. Lotze secured subscriptions which will, in the course of the year, amount to the required sum. The money is to be paid in week ly contributions.
 Only few seconds of the twenty minutes remained when the last sub soription was received. The instant the final promise was made MT. Lotze eras- ed the figures from the blackboard and announced:
 "'Tis done. Let all arise and sing the doxology.
 The singing was inspiring and of the Methodist character.

The first team was called "The Whites" because of the uniform shade of their shirtings, while the second team entitled themselves the "SDeckles" for g. corre- spending variety of patterns. "The Whites" rolled up nine goals to their op- ronents' three. They had committed one foul, however, for which they were mulcted, leaving the final score 1-2 to
