WHITMAN TO FORM
STATE POLICE FORCE
Proposed Law TO Give Constable
larry Right to Enter
Any City.

ALBANv, Jan. 2s.-A state constaou-
larry patterned after the plan proposed by
Oswald Garrison Willard. Seth Low and
the New York State Police Association
il an assured fact Gov. Whitman said
tonight that a bill forming the nucleus
of this policing system would be Intro
duocd, and the legislative leaders who
conferred with the Governor on the sub
Jet to-day are favorable to tire measure.
~ bill establishing State constabu-
larry will he introduced" said the Gov
ernor after conference with Mr.. Willard,
who is temporary chairman Of the New
York city committee which is advocating
a state police. This bill. which was sub
mitted 10 mo to-day, will entail an in
Rial expenditure of about $4,000 and
is designed 10 establish policing system
similar to the Pennsylvania State con-
stabulary.'
Tho state police would be empowered
TO enter New York In case OF strike
or other disturbances without The re-
quest OF the local authorities under the
following proposed section of the law;
"They shall cooperate with the local
authorities in detecting crime, apprehend.
ing criminals and preserving law and
order. They may enter any village or
city in the discretion Of the superintende nj
or on the request Of the Mayor, chief of
police or local legislative body"
GOV. Whitman's plan Is TO organize a
state constabulary using the Aqueduct

from this a statewide constabulary, The
first move after the bin has passed and
been approved will be the organization
Of system composed OF 23S mounted
policemen. one company will be assigned
To- patrol duty In the territory below Al
hany and the second company in the ter
rltury west and north OF Albany.
In each Of these companies there will
he ll9 men After next year an additional
company Of llA mon will be added and
in the year following another company
OF the same number with this policing
force II will be an easy matter to cover
every section Of the STATE,
The headq iarters OF the constabulary
will be in Albany. There will be sub
s'ations. however in all parts of the state,
in which a policeman will be constantly
IN telephone communication with the
men on patrol.
The law Is to become operative with
the approval OF the Governor. Mr.. VII
lard advised the Governor that the dis

Pennsylvania has been great preventive
