had Dyspepsia for twenty years.
My case was almost hopeless. no

mended, and l used a few bottles
of it, and it is the only thing that
has relieved me. Would not be
without it. Have doctOred with

with hopes of getting some re,
lief, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is
the only remedy that has done me
any good, and I heartily recon,
mend it. Every person suffering
with Indigestion or Dyspepsia
should use it." Sold by A. R

or selling material of any kind which is purchased or used by licensed liquor dealers, This suggestion is good one, because 1t will at least prevent scandal, and If. carried out will prevent improper possible appointments in the future.
 The collection of funds amounting to SS50 a few years ago to influence legisla- I tion for the pension fund was wrong, and such collections should be strictly prohibited in the future by a stringent rule. The pension fund should be in creased so as to provide for several
 members of the force whose ages will soon qualify them for retirement.
 , It would be we'll to put capable, intel- ligent young men occasionally upon de- tective work, so that they may acquire
 experience and be better fitted to be- come, later, regular members of the de- tective force.
 ! Messrs. Rogers and Martin of the in vestigating commission are very decid- Iediy of the opinion that a single headed commission is to be preferred, and in a
 report which they will present to your ! honor on this subject, they begin by Recommending at length the abolition of the board of police commjssioners. The chairman of the commission believes, however, after careful examination of the charter and the provisions of the appointment of this commission, that it | Twas appointed to investigate the police | department as it exists, and not to in- quire as to whether the department, as at present constituted under the charter
 should be abolished, or whether the charter of the city should be amended in
 such an important particular. It is the
 business of the regular city government lof New Haven to. take up the subject
 of important amendments to the char ter and such vital suestions should be
 determined after full hearing, examin-
 ation and investigation in which the
 best, most practical and intelligent cit
 izens of New Haven should participate \ There was no evidence presented Iagainst the members of the present DO. \ lice commission to show that they
 should be removed from office, or that
The daily morning journal and courier., 1904-08-18

their board should De abolished The investigating commission was appointed to inquire whether the department is corrupt or inefficient. All the members of the commission agree that the de- partment is not, corrupt, but that in some respects it's efficiency could be i'm proved. Therefore, they all agree in rec ommending sundry Improvements in the organization and equipment of the de- partment.
 Concerning other matters properly in- vestigated by the. commission, the chair man and the other members of the com mission were substantially agreed as to what should be done; but the chairman declined to sign the elaborate report presented by Messrs. Rogers and Martin which begins by recommending the abo- lition of the present police commission. He, therefore, files this separate, more condensed and pertinent report, which covers all the matters that he believes it was the duty of the commission to in- |yestigate and report upon to your honor

It appeared in the evidence that, as to gambling, some of the commissioners ili person had made strenuous efforts and requests to policemen to seek out and break up policy playing. It appeared that an official of the city court was, for quite a period before he became a member of the court, the defendant of many of the policy playing and gam bling places, and when he received his appointment member of the bar in his | office became the attorney for the pol icy players. If officers of the city court and of the police department will CO., | operate tremendously and strenuousy for the enforcement of these laws, as suggested by Dr. Smyth and others, it Will be of great advantage to the city of New Haven.
 It appearel in evidence that the members of the police force are divided between two great political parties, probably about evenly It also appear ed that forty-three of the whole num- | Der are registered to vote in republican primaries. Some of them while not in uniform were actively interested in the recent republican primaries, thereby creating scandal e-.
 There was no evidence given to show whether this rule has been enforced in any manner, or whether any complaint has been made to the commissioners or chief on account of violation of the rule on the part of any member of the | force.
 The rule upon this subject should be thoroughly enforced in every particu- lar, and it would be we'll to amend the rule so that members of the depart- ment should not belong to political clubs, nor make contributions for polit- ical purposes.
 There should be at least twenty-five lmore patrolmen appointed, especially fer night service. The present force is Inadequate for the population and area Iof the city. ~.%e

is not creditable to the city, and by no means suitable to the purpose for which it was intended.
 What we have said as to the Dix well avenue station is true in some de- gree Of the station on Grand avenue. New station houses should be erected in these precincts at the earliest praetie- able day. as
 The various stations are provided with what is known as the Gameweli system. by which the stations are con- nected with the beats. This enables the officer on the beat to give notice to headquarters by an electric call and telephone. It is deficient in not pro- yiding a way by which headquarters can communicate with the officer. This defect is remedied by means of the Brewer and Smith system of red lights

chief of police of New Haven has re- lcently been allowed. N
 Some of the men now upon the pa-
 trol force have shown by their record that they were very good detectives,
 but claims have been made by some of lthe citizens that some members of the
 force have not shown the capacity. and energy desirable. Many witnesses gave testimony, and many records were presented, showing l the extent to which gambling, the SO cial evil and the violations of the liquor law continue to exist in the city, lGambling is carried on, especially poll Hey playing, by number Of people es- lpecially among the poorer classes. 1 Houses of i'll repute have continued to be run on three or sour streets of the city for several years.
 I The Sunday law is violated by sales I in the back rooms, kitchens. etc. Ar rests are made from time to time, but ltha violations of the laws against these
 vices continue. It is practically impos- sible for policemen in uniforms to se-
 cure the proper evidence against the
 persons violating these laws The po- llicemen in plain clothes are more ef-
 fective, but they soon become familiar ito these classes, and even when in lplain clothes, they are not as effective
 as special detectives who re not known
 to the criminal classes.
 The chief of police and the officers Testified that they have done all they
 could by instructing the members of the force to see that persons violating these Jaws are arrested. The laws on these lsubjects would be better obeyed if jail lpenalties were imposed, especially upon
 persons who are arrested a second time,
 or who are openly violating the laws.
 It was claimed by these residents of lthe city, as we'll as by some of the mem-
 bers of the department, that the effi- lciency of the force would be increased
 and the suppression of the effenses
 named would be greatly helped if more |severe punishments were imposed in
 the city court, especially if jail pen Ealties instead of small fines were im- lposed. x.
