SPRING REVIEW
 FOR POLICEMEN All Commissioners Save One See the "Finest" and
 Inspect Them.
SOME HELMETS CALLED
Grey Variety Had Turned Dark and Wearers Must
 Get New Ones.

The annual spring inspection and re- view of the members of the New Ha- ven police department was held under lowering skies on the central green yes- terday afternoon and hundreds of cit- izens joined the police commissioners in looking over the array of blue coats All the commissioners were present ex- cept Joseph c. Kelly, who was kept by business The parade was commanded by Chief Wrinn and after a thorough inquiry into all the paraphernalia of the guardians of the peace the commis- sioners found little to find fault with. The main discrepancy in the uniforms wac due to the fact that some of the grey helmets of parolmen who had had larger. share of night duty than their brethren had become darker in color than the rules and regulations thereon made and provided allow. Con- sequenty they were condemned and new helmets will be forthcoming.
 The finest were arrayed in their fin est. Dress coats and the light grey helmets of the summer season were worn and the sight was one that made the hearts of many gazers beat with admiration.
 The police were formed into compan- ies of twelve, three files containing four men to file and in these com panies they marched past the review CTS The review began at 2 o'clack and concluded at 3. Nine companies in al; were formed. The first was under the command of Captain Brewer. The following companies were nlarshalled by Captains woodruff, O'Keefe, Tripp and Sergeants Doherty, Tiernan,2 Crocker Ttehe and Seamon Smith. The guides for the companies were Sergeants Hayes, Connolly, Williams, Watrous, Dunn McGann. Philip Smith, Gibson. Bowers and Klaiber. In all 112 men were inspected at the big review, while the flies and drums rendered martial music and the ground trembled bereath the marching of the mighty host.
 The detectives and men on pernlan- ent day duty were put through their paces at 1 o'clock before the main army arrived, All the captains were in the procession and all the sergeants except Sergeant Bergin,i who came down at 1 o'clock and Sergeant Driscoll. About thirty were inspected at the earlier hour. F
 Chief Wrinn in all the splendor of chieftainship and blazing glory of uni form shouted out his orders to the columns and like military men they fell in at once. Altogether the review was very satisfactory one. Y
 From now on the day men will be permitted to wear their summer dress coats and light helmets on regular duty but the night men may not doff their winter wear until later.
 Among the sights that brought forth admiration and delight was the curvet- ings and prances of the changes belong ings and prances of the chargers belong gallant were the cavalry men and their horses pranced in all the champ ing and chafing of true war steeds.
 Yes, indeed, it was a fine parade.

Just what happen ed is not known, but moment later Vincent dashed into the street, with a revolver in his hand and a crowd of strikers at his heels At he reached the street he began firing at his pursu- CTS The second bullet struck Marshall, a disinterested bystander in the head and killed him instantly The strikers kept on toward Vincent with cries of Lynch himT Vincent sped on, the re- volver still clutched in his hand. when a policeman barred his way the fugi- tive held his revolver as if about to fire and the bluecoat sent him rolling in the street with bullet in his leG.

 Turn Over Reins of Government
 San Francisco, May 17.-In state- ment given out to-day Mayor .Schnitz says:
 The statement that I have handed over the reins of the government to any person or commission is an un- qualified falsehood. called the com mittee of fifty together some time ago In order that might take advantage of the wisdom and advice of the best citizens of the city in financial and industrial crisis. The committee of fifty selected subcommittee in order that the important work might be sys-t tematized and carried out. and one of the committee is the so-called commits tee of seven.

Hrank AeWls or CrOWn street Has Dan-
 gerOus Experience.

OHIO SOLID FOR TAFT
Chairman of State Central Committee
 UnqunIiHedIy for Him.

Toledo, O., May 17.-Chairman Wal ter F. Brown, of the Ohio state central committee, to-day broke through the reticence he has so far observed since the commencement of the Taft-Fora- ker imbroglio. He declared himself as unqualifedly for Taft, said the repub- licans of Ohio were solldly in favor of his candidacy, and declared that Sena- tors Foraker and Dick owe it to them selves and their friends to settle the report that they are secretly support ing the candidacy of Vice-President Fairbanks.
 He declared, moreover, that the sen timent for Taft is so strong that if fur ther opposed or in any way misrepre- scented by Senators Foraker and Dick | 1t will burst all bounds and demand expression in popular convention.
 There are, of course" said Mir Brown, "a number of men in various parts of the state indebted to Senators Foraker and Dick for benefits receiv- ed. Some of these are, as is natural. a little noisy in behalf of the senators, but even among them there is not, in my opinion, any feeling for any presi- dential candidate but Taft. What is much more important, however, Is the fact that the people of Ohio are over whelmingly in favor of Taft"
 It was suggested to MT. Brown that a belief exists with politicians in some other states that Senators Foraker and Dick, who are opposing the Taft can didacy, control the state party machin- cry, and that the power of the organ ization is behind them.
 There never was a greater mistake than that" said Chairman Brown. ''The senators do not control the party machinery, and they never have sway ed, and they do not now sway, the state central committee in any of its actions. The organization is with l Taft"

TEACHERS SALARIES.
Business Men Refer Endorsement to
 Committees.

At a meeting of the New Haven Bus mess Mems association held last night the matter of an increase in the sala- ries of the local teachers was discussed and the question whether or not the business men as a body should endorse the movement was put before them.
 After considerable discussion the business men decided that they were not well enough acquainted with the conditions to put themselves on record, and So the matter was referred to the legislative and executive committees for investigation.
 Henry c. Rowe, the former chairman of the harbor committee of the cham Der of commerce, gave to the business men an account of the improvements of New Haven harbor in the past ten years, and mentioned the approprla- tions in comparison with those of Bridgeport harbor. A vote of thanks was given MT. Rowe, but no further action was taken,
 One new member, Edward F. Hesse, was voted into the association.
