 II found what appeared to be blood spots on all of the risers of the stair way except one near the top of the first flight he testified. 'The, blood stains were circular, as if rubbed by a. brush or cloth. On the landing the marks were crushed down as if a heavy body had been over them.

POLICE DEPT. NOT
 GETTING RESULTS
"WIII Disclosed Unpleasant Facts at
 Safety Board Se..Sion" "--AIIing.

We've got a police department of thirty-five regular men and we ought to be getting results" This state ment was made by Chairman E. B. Alling of the board of public safety today in reference to the statements he made at the meeting of the board of finance and taxation last night to the effect that the police department is inefficient. Furthermore Chairman filling. said that he has called spe- cial meeting of the safety board for Thursday afternoon when some ur- gent business will be transacted and at this time, or some subsequent time agreed upon then, the matter of in- troducing a more efficient system in to the police department will be dis cussed Will Bring Out Facts.
 The police department has always been bone of contention con tinued Chairman filling, but further than that he declined to talk for publication, saying that he is mere ly member of the board of public safety and does not want to assume too much responsibility. However, he declared that when the matter is brought up before the board some un- pleasant facts in connection with the police department will be disclosed It is underst ood that the desire of the board is to have the police depart ment conducted In a more systematic manner and with more apparent disci- pline. For instance, it is said that the commissioners object to such things as two or more police men meeting on the street and talking together. They want the officers on the job every minute and to enforce the laws to the letter.
 Police Are Indignant.
 A Statement made by John F. Mee- han, of the board of finance and tax ation, that some of the policemen arc afraid of the Hartford avenue rowdies and when they are alone and see gang of these gangsters com ing toward them they turn around and go the other way, being afraid to tackle them has caused no end of gossip today. Members of the police force are highly incensed at this slur on their valor and they are wondering what individual officer the commits soner referred to, if any. One mem- Der of the department declared today that MT Meehan's statement was h pretty broad one and he may be forced to prove tiff he can.''
 filling Also Surprised.
 Chairman filling said he was as much surprised as anybody when he heard Mr. Meehan make this crack at the police department. He has been cognizant for some little time that the department was not as efficient as it should be, he says, but this was the first intimation that he had of any real cowardice on the part of its members. He informed MT. Meehan last night that he should like to know the names of any officers guilty of such tactics as alleged, but the com missioner declined to make public their names.
 Men Are Not Towards.
 This is the first time that the bray cry of any of the local pollcemen mas been publicly assailed. During the past year two policemen, Regular Patrolman William Grace and Special
