POLICE BOARD WILL
 MEET THIS EVENING
Session Is Pregnant With Possi.
 bilties of Important Doings

What Is expected to be very im- portant meeting of the board of po- lice commissioners will be held this evening Numerous matters Of ex- treme importance to the department are slated to come up for transaction. While definite statement from any of the commissioners could not be se- cured. 1t has been freely reported that the retirement of Chief William J, Rawlings on Il pension. will be one of the important matters discussed. It has been intimated that the admin istration wants this matter settled at an early date. Who will be the sue cessor is also the matter Of consider able speculation.
 It has been freely reported that Detective Sergeant w. C. Hart, was in line for promotion, but talk that has been heard on several occasions Of late, has it that opposition has developed against making this move. Captain T. w. Grace, long a member of the department, is not without many packers for promotion, should the board decide on retiring the pres- cnt head. Sergeant George J. Kelly, is also being talked Of fayorably.
 AS an economical move, the board will also consider the reduction of the number of men around the sta tion durngsthe day. This will prob ably apply To patrol drivers. There is disposition, it is reported, to have the janitor work, that is now cared for by Supernumerary Policeman Michael Brophy, done by the patrol driver. An impression prevails that the night patrol driver has but very little to do, and that part Of the time he consumes waiting for calls for the patrol wagon, can be utilized in jan itor work. As the system now is, it requires four men to operate the pa trol wagon and the janitor work and some of the members feels that this numbr can be reduced by at least one man.
 A new system for the ringing in from the signal boxes, may also be adopted this evening" The patrolmen at pre- sent have a specified time to put in their nightly calls. It is the plan Of the board. to issue cards every
 
 duty, announcing the hour when the calls shall be reported into the sta ton. In this way, any plans that criminals might have in watching the police at the ringing time would be thwarted, it is believed.
 Some ordinance may be suggested at tonight's meeting which will pro- hibit what many term a nuisance, that is the use of public sidewalks for advertising features. Changes in the method of having patromen ring in at night will also come up as will traffic rules.
 There may also be some discussion relative to the elimination of super patrolmen for theater duty and the replacing Of them by veteran patrolmen who may be on pension.
 Another important matter that will undoubtedly come up for definite ac- tion is the so-called vice squad" It now appears likely that the board will either entirely eliminate this branch and hold every patroIman re- sponsible for any liquor violations on his beat, or else curtal the squad and, possibly. change it's personnel.

STILL SEEK VICTIMS 0F STORM
Meanwhile Official Investigations
 Are Under Way

New York, June 13.-The death list resulting from the cyclonic storm that smashed and swirled its way through New York and its suburbs Sunday evening continues to grow. The known list now totals 45 and 16 other persons reported missing.
 The police launches continued to grapple today for bodies of those still missing after the storm left Long Island off City Island strewn with wreckage and Capsized boats. At least 40 visitors to City Island were drowned in the disaster and the police are convinced that the death list will reach as high as 70.
 IL will be days before the total loss of life will be known.
 Probe Ferris Wheel Crash.
 The Bronx grand jury has started an investigation Of the wreck of the Ferris wheel at Clason's Point which killed seven and seriously injured 40 visitors to the amusement resort. Of ficials will examine the wreckage to see if the huge device was originally constructed along safe lines. The owner, who was arrested after the tragedy, will face the grand jury to- day.
 The property damage resulting from the twisting winds runs into the millions. Electric light and power lines were destroyed for miles = the poles bearing the cables snapped in the blasts. The loss from plate glass is only exceeded by the Black Tom explosion, according to insurance companies covering such risks.
 Freaks of The Storm.
 Freak stunts of the storm con- stantly appear. A roof from church in Yonkers was lifted off the edifce by the gusts of wind and dropped into the street upon a passing automobile containing five people. Rescuers tore away the timbers and found that none was hurt.
 A man walking down a street in the Bronx had his hat lifted and whirled out of sight as he struggled to hang on to an iron police alarm post. When he finally reached his home. three blocks away, he found his battered headgear resting on a. chair in his living room. It apparent ly had sailed through a window which had been blown in by the gale.

52 CENTS MAXIMUM
 WAGE ON TROLLEYS
ArbitratorS Fix Slash at 5.45 P. C.-.Conn. Co. Saves S200,000

New Haven, June l3.-A wage re- duction of b.lb per cent, for the mos tormen and conductors employed by the Connecticut company on all its lines in the state was announced last night by the arbitration board which has had the subject under considera- ton. The maximum rate Is cut from 55 to b2 cents an hour. The inter- mediate rate Is fixed at 4S cents and the minimum 45 cents. The scale for operators of one-man cars is set at seven cents an hour above the regu- lar rates.
 The award Is signed by Justice John K. Beach Of the state supreme court and J. r. Berry of Hartford. repre- senting the company on the arbitra- ton board. James H. Vahey of Boston, representing the trolleymen, did not sign the award. He gave out dissenting opinion in which he said he did not believe the basis used by the arbitration board in reaching their decision on wages was q correct one,
 Present Rate Low
 After pointing out that he agreed with Justice Beach a year ago in q similar award, Attorney Vahey says:
 His idea is that last years award took up the lag in wages created by the increase in the cost of living in 191S-19-20. If last year Justice Beach corrected the inequalities then existing we ought reasonably to as- sume that June 1921, was a fair start ing point to fix the award for 1922. If there has been no substantial change in the cost Of living or the going rate of wages in this industry, then last years wages should con tinue.
 ''The present rate of 55 cents an hour is lower than in any city in New England corresponding in size with New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury. The chairman, by this award has still further. reduced wages"
 Living Cost Figures.
 Mr. Vahey gives figures on the cost of living quoted from various author ities, which show an average decrease since June, 1921, of AZ per cent. v continues:
 "The Connecticut company will gain s2O0,o0o by this award. The em- ployes necessarily will lose this amount"
 Frank Mclean, chairman of the joint conference board of employees of the Connecticut company, said:
 Justice Beach's award is astound- ing and great disappointment to the two thousand men we represent
 The wages of other employees af- fected by the arbitration are reduced five and half per cent.

foundation than did the civilization of Boston" at the time of the police strike nearly three years ago,
 "lt it were not for the restraining force of tho military establishments of the nations of the world" the sec retary declared, "an indescribable state of chaos would result and civili- zatlon would be rapidly cXterminated through self-destruction,"
 Must Curb Underworld.
 Referring to the passions" to which the criminal and lowest ele- ments of the city" gave free reign" once the police of Boston left their posts and went out on strike he said Tt has been demonstrated beyond any question of doubt that there Is an or gani2ed underworld and a criminal element against which society must protect itself, and which is ready to begin it's depredations on society the moment society is unable to protect itself"
 To say that the United States does not need an army, MT. Weeks added Is just as reasonable to say that "Bos- ton, Chicago and our other large cities do not need a police force"
 Size Of 4M Army.
 The question Of the size of the army. the secretary declared, would always be a matter of controversy. especially as after the great war there Is 'an alarming tendency for the over burdened taxpayer to forget the les sons of the past and cancel his n- surance, trusting to luck for at least few years without national prolec- ton which those familiar with mili- tary matters and requirements deem necessary" But there is no question, he added or difference of opinion as to it's quality.
 If it does not consist of more than a thousand men," he continued, it should be an army of the best possible thousand men which can be developed But you cannot have the best army or even a good army, however sound the individual elements which compose it may be unless it is efficiently con- handed"
 Addresses Graduates.
 Addressing his remarks particular " to the graduating class, the Secre- tary declared that you are to be- come a part of a great organizat ton the success of which in peace or war depends on it's ability to operate as a unit
 Tt cannot do so,' he added, "un- less every component part is willing to cooperate and to work with and as a part of the unit
 You cannot be an officer and he continued, unless you are just, humane, thoroughly trained; unless you have character, a high sense of honor and an unselish de- votion to duty. Be an example as such to every one. Do not coun- tenance low and immoral things. Let it be said by the citizens of the re- public that the officers of our army are our examples and protectors, that we can absolutely depend on their honesty, their uprightness of charac- ter, their ability to serve the lation and, if need be, their willingness to die for it.

 Members of His Family.

Moscow, June 13.-(By Associated Press )-Lenine has lost none of his faculties and is progressing satisfac- torily, Dimitri Oulianoff, the pre- mier's elder brother, told the cores pondent today.
