WANT MORE POLICE
Chief Cowles Again Tells Com
missioners of Depart
ment's Need.
MANY REQUESTS FILED
Estimates Of Department for Next
Year Taken Up for Submis-
sion Next Month.

The board of police commissioners
changed from its regular custom yes
terday and held It's regular monthly
session In the afternoon instead Of the
evening In order to suit the convent
ence of three members Of the board
Chief Cowles brought to the attention
of the board the fact that the city is
still scarce on patrolmen and that Q
rumber more should be added to the
force to bring 1t up to the proper po-
sltlon. He told the commissioners that
he had received a great many requests
especially from citizens about the out
skirts Of the city for more police pro-
lection In the daytime but he had been
unable TO respond to the calls because
there are not enough men at present to
properly take care of the night work
and men are covering practically two
beats In one which gives them too
much territory to cover properly. He
said that there should be a large adj
dition to the force.
In the chiefs report for the month
Edward f. ,Koble) Lawler of the
Grand avenue station again came In
for honorable mention. He has made
a number Of important arrests during
the past month. William Welch Is
also on the honorable mention list as
are also George j. Murphy, James f.
Heenan, William +. Tiernan and Johr
d. Lynch. The last four have been
prominently connected with the arrest
OF violators of the auto laws. During
the past month they have brought In
men for whom the city attorney has
issued warrants to the number OF 26, al
of which resulted in convictions. They
also brought In 10 others who were
warned by the city attorney.
The chief announced that he has Il
supernumerarics who will go on dut,
on the nights Of July and 4 as extri
men. These will help out in enforcing
stringcntly the laws for the day. The

SCHOOL FUND
In PROPER PLACE
Governor Woodruff Appoints
Deputy State Treasurer
as Fund Commis-
sioner.
SUCCEEDS C. 0. SPENCER
Chief Executive Expresses Hope That
Next Legislature VIII Make
State Treasurer the
Custodian.

Governor Woodruff yesterday tend
cred to b. Frank Marsh, deputy state
treasurer. appointment as school fund
commissioners to succeed the late Car
not o. Spencer, the appointment being
temporary one until the next general
assembly fills the office, in accordance
with the statute.
Governor Woodruff's appointment of
Mr.. Marsh comes as near to being an
appointment Of the state treasurer as
II Is possible TO come under the pres
ent statutes. II will be remembered
that Governor Woodruff In his inau-
gural message TO the general assembly
In January, 1907. recommended that
the school fund commission be abolish
ed and that the fund be placed In the
care of the state treasurer He said:
"The school fund now amounts to
about s2,OoO.OcO the money being invest
ed In loans and first mortgages upon
real estate. The loans are made by
1 the school fund commissioner, but the
state treasurer Is custodian of the
funds received as repayments OF loans
or as interest on outstanding loans.
'As broad proposition do not con-
ceive that there will be any quarrel
with the suggestion that II is not prop
erly the business OF the state TO com
pete In the money loanlng field A large
part Of the school fund Is not invested
in Connecticut. but In states somewhat
remote from here. That may not he
bad judgment. but It removes the fund
from the stase and invites the fear that
the state Is In more or less specula-
tive enterprise. Savings banks and
other large financial institutions are
making n majority OF the gilt-edge
loans in their own localities, and II
seems an unwisc policy to compete
with them at home and more unwise
TO enter a foreign field
TN such recommendations as 4
seems advisable to make In the prem
ises, I disclaim emphatically an inten,
TO criticise or find fault with the man.
lner OF administration of the school
fund by the present administration
But let us consider the proposition with
an eye single to promoting more
modern method of conducting that
branch Of the states business.
1T Is my conviction that the state
best interests will be conserved II tn
school fund be abolished by amend
ment to the state constitution, and that
until the necessary formalties by leg
ielative enactment and vote Of the elec
torate have been taken, the state treas.

and be empowered to call IN and col

Lieutenants to See That New
Haven Sends Lilley Delega-
tion to State G. o. p.
Convention.
SUPPORT FOR MAJOR TILS0N
Walsh Driven to Lake Party-Bran.
degcc, Deserted by Machine,
Finds Hospitable
Hands.

Coz I. M. Ullman, the recognized
leader of the republican party in New
Haven, left the city yesterday after
noon. for Camp Marion, in the Maine
woods. where he will spend the COM
ing few weeks with his family. But
before his departure Col. Ullman in
formed all his trusted lieutenants
throughout the city that he wanted
New Haven to send delegation to the
next state convention, which should
support Congressman George i. Lilley
for governor, succeeding Rollin $.
Woodruff.
These instructions to his lieutenants
relieve the minds Of many New Ha-
ven people who believed that Col.
Ullman was on the fence in the Lii
ley-Lake controversy, and shows ths
opposition to Mr., Lilley what 1t is up
against in this section of the state.
Strangely enough, the supporters Of
Mr. Lake have not lost heart at the
instructions, and will work harder
than ever for his nomination. OF MI.
Lakes supporters in New Haven the
chief one Is believed to be Town Clerk
Frederick e. Whitaker. But beside
Mr. Whitaker there are officials and
party officials all over the city who
would prefer to have Mr.. Lake COVER
nor and canvass yesterday afternoon
failed to find one who was In favor OF
Mr.. Lilley. If matters. were allowed
to take their course, II the leader OF
the machine had not sent out his
command, 1t is doubtful II Mr.. Lilley
would have one delegate from here ut
the convention. AS 1t Is, there WILDE
several wards which will not fall ~
line and the result will, perhaps, be q
divided delegation.
In connection with Col. Ullman's
announced support OF Mr.. Lilley comes
the interesting report that Mr. Lilley
and his friends favor Major John O.,
Tilson for ngressman-at-large and
have deserted Judge Walsh Of Green-
wich. Major Tilson, while held in
high regard by Mr.. Lilley's friends,
was not supported for the position Of
| congressman -at-large until Col. TILL
man informed them that unless some
support was coming to Major Tilsor,
New Haven would not be especially
strong In its opposition to Mr.. Lake.
Then came the gradual breaking away
of old ties, the makeup Of the ticket OF
last summer was broken, for this part
of the state at least Tilsons name took
that Of Walsh. and the Greenwich
Judge was outside the fold.
Under such conditions only ono
thing could be done say people, who
profess to be friends Of Mr.. Walsh.
That was an offensive and defensive
alliance with Mr.. Lake against the
new allies. Mr.. Walsh and Mr.. Lake
had never been particular friends, but
the exigencies Of the case were such
that Mr.. Walsh has had to at least
threaten a combination with the for.
mer Harvard athlete.
Up from New London comes the in-
terestng news that Mr.. Lake and Mr..
Walsh will have support from a
source from which such help was en-
tirely unexpected. Frank B. Brande-
gee naturally desires to succeed him-
self as United States senator year
from now, but the attitude of the self

THAW MENTALLY UNSTABLE
Says DR.. Ferris, Head of State Lunacy
Commission.

Albany, n. Y, June 30.--Dr. Albert
Warren Ferris, president of the State
Lunacy commission In statement
made public to-day on the mental
condition of Harry X. Thaw, says,
that there are some differences of
opinion as to the form Of Thaws in
sanity, but those who have studied his
case agree that he Is of unstable men

.he Is homlcldal." DR.. Ferris says that
for the safety of the community pa

of mental demonstrated homicidal i'm

WASHELESKY
PAYS PENALTY
Murderer of Peter Lukaswicz
Hanged at the State Prison
Early This Mocn-
ing.
PRISONER VERY NERVOUS
Sobbed When Cap Was Being Ad-
justcd--Protested That He Was
Innocent Up TO the
Last.

Wethersfield, June 30.-John Wash
elesky, thirty-two years old, was exc
cuted at the states prison here at
1906 tonight for the murder Of Peter

ber 8, 1908. Accompanied by Guards
Bulkeley and Lyenett he left the death
cell shortly after IL o'clock and walk
ed to the trap where the hood and
moose were adjusted by Deputy War
den Baisden. The trap was sprung
by Warden Garvan at 1906 and at
1921 life was declared extinct.
Washelesky was extremely nervous
and was sobbing quietly when led into
the execution chamber and his last
words just before the cap was drawn
over his head We're II am not guilty"
Up to the very last he protested his
innocence and when asked upon whom
suspicion might rest he was unable to
say
During the day he received bou-
quet of flowers from the inmates of
the prison and seemed very grateful
to his guards for what they had done
for him and thanked them and the
warden for their kindness to him.
The last rights of the church were
administered by Father NJ, Lozowski
of Hartford and Father Oliver Mag
nell, the prison chaplain.
