no RE-EQUIP
COPS With GUNS


The beard of police commissioners
held special meeting at o'clock
yesterday afternoon at the CONNER
cIal street headquarters, and the
matter of re-equipping the police
with positive type reNolVers instead
OF the present automatic type was
taken up. It has been found that the
revolver now in use is not best adapt
ed for police work, and there has
been a tendency on part of the police
to be very careful in the use OF these
guns, making it rule not to carry
cartridges in the chambers There
fore, it has required of police the use
Of both hands when an emergency
would arise to use the gun. There
has been two accidents from this type
OF gun, and the recent affair in which
a policeman was covered by burglars
because he could not use his revolver
readily, prompted the board to take
action in the matter. Chief w. j.
Rawlings recommended to the board
the purchase of the Smith esson
type Of gun, but no definite action
was taken. Chairman ?. +, King
said that an offer has been made to
the board to take the automatic re-
volvers off the hands Of the depart
ment but the commission feels that
more time shall be given to the dis
position of these guns, Final action
on the purchase OF new revolvers
will be tken at the regular meeting
Of the board on December 13.
Chairman King in answer to a
question whether the policemen
would be requested to carry the re-
volyers outside the coat such as has
been recommendedby Chief Philip
Smith OF the New Haven police de-
department, said that this was
not favored by the board, and he
personally feels that it might prove
too handy for the other fellow.
It was pointed out by the chairman
that most of the arrests are made
without the use OF revolvers.
The Chairman called attention to
tfe new lights placed near the South
church corner and the junction Of
Hartford avenue, Spring and East
Main street, Which permits the rays
to show on the traffic officers, there
by affording better protection II
these lights prove beneficial, the
board will place them at the variou1
traffic posts in the city Favorable
REPORTS have been heard from the
officers doing traffic where the lights
have been installed.

ability. All of the players are must
clans who have played with the Bos-
ton or New York symphony orches-
tras. Each man has studied at the
leading onservatories Of this country
and abroad and a majority of them
were European players. The mem
bers playing stringed instruments
were selected under the personal d.
reCtion Of Franz kneisel, the famous
musician.
The program rendered at The even
Ing concert was one Of the highest
order and the work Of Charles Hart
pianist, was especially noteworthy, as
was the work OF the first violinist and
the flute player. The first number,
a trio, by the clarinet, viola and piano
was fine. Another excellent number
VISA GaVotte and Scherzo "Whilr-
wind by flute, oboe, clarinet and
bassoon, Deems Taylor, Suite Through

usually fine selection.
All in all, this musical program
was one Of the finest of the season
