To Establish
 Signal System
 In Connecticut

Hartford, May 10-EstabIishment ot a statewide red light signal system by which to facilitate the sending out Of alarms to state policemen on patrols covering 5000 miles of high ways, is under contemplation by the state police department, it was an- nounced last night by Superintendent Robert T. Hurley in an address be- fore the Nefghborhood club, this city.
 The proposed system would also make 1t possible for the superintend- ent quarters to mobilize, expedittously at any point in the state, force of policemen believed sufficient to cone with a possible emergency, such as might be created by a mob or a band or outlaws attempting to elude ar rest.
 To Use Telephone Wires.
 Details of the plan were not di- vulged by the superintendent, but he said that the signal system would probably be operated by means of the wire equipment of the Southern New England Telephone Company. officers of which have already been consulted.
 The state police department, as now constituted, is made up of the central headquarters at the Capitol, with bar

racks at No. 20 Washingtora street and attachments assigned to each of the eight counties in the state These detachnentS operate from sub-sat- tons in the counties and, for general police protection and motor vehicle inspections. the attachments are con sidered ample for the particular ter ritories in which they are located. In emergencies, however, men from several counties are sometimes order ed to reinforce those at the point of action.
 The red light system will be simi- lar to those in use by the police all over the state, and state policemen wherever on duty will be required to communicate with headQuarters at once at the flash of the signal. The arrangement of the system will be such as to enable central headquarters to signal the men in one or more counties or districts independent of those in other sections of the state. and in that way it will be possible to summon particular officers when de- sired.
 Superintendent Hurley explained last night that the great amount of patrol duty required of the state police, which grows more urgent in proportion to the increase of auto mobiles, now necessitates the cover

 The superfntendent's announcement was made in the course of a descriu- tfon of the development of the de- partment, from one having two off, cers and fifteen men, in 1903, to one having five officers and about fifty men at present. as a result of its re- cent merger with the inspection di- vision of the motor vehicle depart ment- It activities had increased, he said, from exclusive investigation of crime, to supervision over motion pie ture houses, weights and measures bfllboards, transportation and store houses and the carrying of weapons The department is responsible for protection in an aggregate area of about 4,700 square miles. Sub-sta- tions have already been established, he said, at Ridgefield, Centerbrook, Canaan, Stafford Springs and Dan ielson. Such stations remain to be established in New London and New Haven counties.
 Cautions State Policemen.
 The reputation of the department depended largely on the conduct of the state policemen themselves, he said, adding that new men are al- ways cautioned about losing their heads when furnished with a badge

that carried with 1t so much authorf- ty. Every effort is made to impress upon the men that the two prime requisites of a successful policeman are honesty and gentlemanly de- meanor
 Care has to be exercised the chief pointed out, to keep constantly before the men that a few threads of evil dence, even though they might lead to a mans conviction, must not be permitted to influence premature ac- tion, as they might do a great injus- tice to an innocent man. It was just as much a policeman's obligation to protect the innocent, he said, as to try to convict the guilty. He cited an instance.
 His remarks about the young peo- pie of today who needed a police- man to guard them, met with the in stant approval of all present. He pointed out that the opportunity and environment might lead a young person to make 8 misstep which might be the start of a criminal career and was only the ingrained fear of a policeman that kept many on the safe side. He expressed his dislike of this fear since he said that policemen, too, are only human mor- tals and there is nothing to fear from them.

Good
Morning.,
Judge!
By Rudolph Perkins,

Some men are queer creatures.
For instance, Walter Washington.
His wife. Clara, told him she would
like to go to the movies. He told
her to go ahead and then he went
into a deep brown study. Before
Clara got dressed Walter ap-
preached her. she said. and insinu-
ated that she had some other place
to go.
Then, Clara said. she was ordered
to pack up and take herself over
to her mother. Surprised and
shocked. she did so.
1t appears that Walter brooded
over his foolish act for a few days
and then drowned his troubles in
mOonshine whisky. Then he went
on a hunt for his wife.
He found her. He grabbed her
by the arm. drew out his knife, IL
was testified. and stabbed her
twice because she left him when
he told her to. Police found the
knife and put Walter in a cell.
He told Judge Mcmahon that he
was too soused to remember what
happs ned. but by the time he Mas
serv' four months he may re-
member using the knife. The court
sent him down for that long.
