POLICE COMMISSIONERS
 REFUSE MANY WHO SEEK
 SPECIAL POLICE BADGES

button of special police badges was begun in earnest last night by the board Of police commissioners who met in special session to consider and pass upon applications. It was found that many of the old badges had not been returned by former spe- cials and at the suggestion of Presi- dent George s. Hill the list will be carefully checked and demand made upon those officers who have not as yet compiled with the written notice.
 Of the host of applications received less than 50 officers were reapoint- ed last night, though there are many who falling to have their applications properly filled out, will be given a further opportunity to present their requests in accordance with regula- tions.
 Others, who had letters from vari- ous friends and employers,P where it did not seem that special protection is needed will not secure the prefermenc they desire and some disappointment will result But two such instances occurred last night. The first appli- cation to meet with refusal last night was that of Harris Kahn, @ grocer of the South End whose work as spe- cial had recently attracted much att tentfon. It was decided by the board that as he was not identified with large interests demanding police pro lection his request could not be well granted The many friends of Kahn, who had hoped to see him either regular member of the force or a special expressed indignation at the action when informed last night
 Louis Virel1i, brother of State Po- 1iceman Frank Vdrelli, was another who met defeat Ills request had been accompanied with a letter from he would employ Vireni. This was not thought to warrant an appoint ment and the application was denied.
 Dr. D. C. DeWo1fe, of the Connec- ticut Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was another whose application not being properly filled out, was excluded, subject to reconsideration.
