There are now three amusement houses in the city and all are mainly devoted to the movie business, while Lawrence hall, the best located of them all is not available for amuse- ments that are not approved by the proprietors of two of the other houses, as they hold lease of the Lawrence, having hired the place to prevent competition. This gives an idea of the profits that must accrue from this modern form of amusement as like the State street property, Lawrence hall comes high. One who is in position to know. says that the parties inter- ested in the establishment of a play house in the business center are men of experience in that line that they are satisfied that the venture will pay, and are extremely desirous of secur- ing a deSira bIe site

NEW LONDON POLICE DEPARTMENT
Nothing Serious the Matter With it Despite Attack Being Made Old Time Newspaper Rule Revived = Talk of New Theatre Building in Center of City

the ground floor devoted to stores and an entrance to the play house AL ready offers have been made for the premises occupied in part by the G. M. Williams company but no deal could be effected. Then a try was made for the Green property, occupied by E. H. Caulkins and Thomas E. Foran, but the parties have a long lease of the premises and declined to yield to the offers made to re1inquish the leases. Now it is hinted that negoti- ations are pending for the purchase of 1 the Garfield block which is part of Augustus Brandegee estate, with three stores on the first floor of the three story building and which includes an other large brick building in the rear.
 All the properties mentioned are located in State street and close to the trolley terminal, an ideal spot for a moving picture and vaudeville play house. But State street property comes high.

The attacking party asks the captain if he tells the members of the day force all that happens in police circles during the daylight trick and whether he knows that the liquor laws are be- ing violated and kindred questions, ev- eryone of which could be propounded at any time to any police captain in any city, and therefore have no special weight with the public. All are aware that law is being violated despite the activity of any police force and it is beyond human power to make the world perfect. The police commission CTS and the mayor, and the prosecuting attorney, too, have a thing or two to say, as to the government of the To- cal police and the captain and the other men of the police force, every one of them, are ready to perform proper duty that is assigned them Trying to create public agitation pre- judicial to the police force does not tend to increase it's general efficiency does not bring credit to the city, and does not increase the popularity of those who lead in the unjustifed agi- tation. There is a better way, a proper way to remedy any possible shortcom- ing of the police department if any there be. It is not good policy to un- load police grievances all upon the captain, whose powers are prescribed. and properly by the police commission CTS and the chief of police. It is like finding fault with the bod carrier for the work of the bricklayer contrary to specifications There is nothing se- rious the matter with the New London police department

If there is any reason for complaint against any member of the police force, from captain to supernumerary, it would have been much peter for the newspaper to have formulated the charges print them if so desired, and to submit the charges to the police commissioners, or if charges against the commissioners file them with the mayor, or even with the court of con- mon council direct. Then there would be investigation and perhaps some would have credited the writer of the attacks upon the police captain with having performed a service to the public. But a case with the prosecutor, the judge and jury, all encompassed in a single person with a grievance is not entitled to, and does not receive the approba- tion of the public. George Haven has been captain of the New London police force for a great many years and his honesty, integrity and ability has never been questioned by those officially coz nizant of the work of the police de- Sartment and who best knew it's re- quirements.
 Police Captain Haven is veteran of the Civil War, one of the youngest to enlist, served his country honorabIy and well After returning from war with an unblemished record, he entered the military service of the state and received gradual promotion from private to brigade commander and ad- jutant general of the state. As briga- dier general commanding the Connec- ticut National Guard he demonstrated beyond doubt his ability to command men and to see to it that the com- mand was obeyed and earned a record never equalled as the most competent brigade commander that ever served the state.

Captain Haven has been challenged to answer series of questions that

Captain Haven has been challenged to answer a series of questions that have been printed in local newspaper and of course through that newspaper. See the point? Can't you see a, pos sible motive for the attack? While the questions propounded are not of any great importance, the answers from the police captain would undoubtedly attract readers to the newspaper, for the dear public craves for anything that tinges of the sensational even if it is not scandalous. The writer wanted to know where the police captain was on that Sunday night some two months ago when the talk of the Sal vation Army speaker melted to riot. He was on duty at the police station all day and should have been at his home or church when the rumpus was on. For be it known that at night Lieutenant Jeffers is in command, and it is conceded. even perhaps, by the one who is now writing against the police captain, that Jeffers is thor oughly efficient police officer and that the service of Captain Haven was not necessary. If it was he would probab- ly been so notified by the lieutenant in command at the time.

The questioner goes on and asks for explanation why arrests were not made when a couple of young fellows had a street fight and when a couple of other fellows had a fight in a store. It is among the bare possibilities that such fights may have taken place even in New London. just as they do in much larger cities that are more thoroughly policed and without the knowledge of the police officers. If the questioner of the captain knows that these offens- es have been committed, and that he is desirous of having the parties ar rested and prosecuted, why in the deuce don't he make complaint to the police authorities, and not have the nerve to ask the captain of police to tell him the reason why! It may be that the police have hearsay knowledge of such occurrences but that evidence is not the kind that convicts.

There used to be standing order in a local newspaper to the effect that when news was dull to knock the po- lice force, but that was in the long ago and there is not the slightest doubt but time has revoked that order.
 Just at the present time local news paper is engaged in attacking the po- Ice department, not the mayor who is chief of police under the city charter, nor the board of police commissioners who are in charge of the police affairs of the city, but the shafts are directed at the captain of police, who is sub servient to the mayor and the commis- sioners. Just what prompted the at tack is difficult for the general public to understand. and there are many who wonder how long since it was up to the captain of police to answer questions put to him by some news paper writer, just for the personal sat- isfaction of the questioner, whose mo- tive may be attraction to the sheet he writes for rather than for the public good. If there is grievance against the police captain, for failure of per formance of duty, or anything of that kind there is a way to get satisfaction, but that way is not by newspaper at tack on public official, which tends to decrease rather than increase the efficiency of the police department.
