Principal in Assault Case Admits
 Fists Only Played a Part

Through the courtesy of the police commission, the Herald" has obtain. ed complete report of the investiga. tlons in the Peter Olescavich case, ir which he claimed he was assaulted and the Policeman Thomas Lee case in which the officer was accused oi disobeying the orders of superior The findings of the discipline com. mittee were as follows:
 April 10, 1928 To the Board of Police Commission
 CTS: A s&
 Gentlemen:
 Your committee on discipline begs .'leave to submit the following report with reference to their investigation of complaints given to them since the last meeting of this board.
 Your committee gave a hearing on Friday, April to Mr. Petor Olesca- ,, vicz of No. IA Orange street.. who had filed a complaint with your chairman alleging that he had been assaulted and otherwise mistreated by five police officers about midnight March 14th. Chief Hart. Sergeants Rival land McAvay and Patrolman P. lO'Nfara and Morris Flynn were in at tendance, Mir. Olescavicz agreeing to their presence.
 Mr. Olescavicz told the committee !that on the night of March 14th as 'he was driving his car out of the al- Ileyway leading from the garage in the rear of Hanna's block on Main street phe was stopped by several policemen who told him he was under arrest for driving an auto while under the in- ff1uence of liquor. He said he offered ito drive them to the station but re- fused to get out of the car when they ordered him to go into the patrol as he claimed he was not guilty of the charge. He further claimed that Of f1cer O'Mara took him by the collar and punched him twice in the face bruising him considerably He ad- mitted he was mistaken in the state ment he made to your chairman that a blackjack or some other weapon had been used on him. At police headquarters he demanded that he be examined by a physician to determine

Be Careful What You
 Wash Your Hair With

Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the haid brittle.
 The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoofi for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It is very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get Mulsified at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsi- fled in cup or glass with little warm water is all that is required. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub the Mulsifed cocoanut oil in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly and is soft, fresh looking, fluffy. wavy, and easy to manage. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified.

fense in striking him.
 Your committee further believes that the officers involved should be exonerated of any blame for their ac- tions and so recommends to. this board.
 Your committee believes, however. that there might be some criticism of the system of sending prisoners to headquarters unaccompanied by the officer making the arrest unless the officer in charge of the patrol Is given all the information as to the causes that he might make complete res port at the desk and thus make sure that prisoners are booked on proper charges. In thls particular case 1t seems clear that had Sergeant Rival been in possession of all the facts. he would have considered 1t advisable to vhold Mir. Olescavicz on charges of as- sault or resisting an officer even should doctors examination indi- cate that the prisoner was not unfit at the time of the test to drive an auto.
 Your committee also gave a hear ing on April 6 to Special Officer Thomas Lee who was charged by Chief Hart with refusing to obey an order. Present at the hearing were Chief Hart, Sergeant Michael Flynn, Patrolman Peter Milewski and Officer Lee.
 Chief Hart explained that on March 3f Joseph Grabewski was arrested following raid at his place on Broad street and was booked on charges of violating the liquor law. While Oni- cer Lee had no part in the raid, hav- ing been of duty on the night 1t was made, Chief Hart believed he might have information as to the reputa- ton of the place, having reported previously concerning it, and he gave orders that the officer was to report in court on April that he might communicate his information to the prosecuting attorney, the latter de- ciding whether anything he knew concerning the case might be of sufficient importance to cause the officer to testify.
 Sergeant Flynn transmitted the or- ders to Officer Lee but the latter stated that he knew nothing about the place and would not appear in court.
 Officer Lee admitted that he had refused to obey the order as he did not feel there was any occasion for his appearance in court. He denied that his displeasure over the chiefs action in continuing him on the Broad street beat which he charac- terized as the hardest in the city, or the fact that the raid was made on his beat while he was off duty, had anything to do with his action. He knew he did wrong but had no ex- planatlon to make other than the fact that he did not think his presence in court in this case necessary
 He admitted he did not think the chief was expecting him to tell the prosecuting attorney any untruths or to perjure himself on the witness stand. He said he would know bet ter in future and would obey orders from his superiors without question.
 Your committee feels that the off cer's refusal to obey an order was deliberate violation of the rules of the department and contrary to the best interests of police discipline. It is inclined to be lenient only because of the officers inexperience as 8 member of the department.
 Recommendation is made that Officer Lee be reprimanded and fined the equivalent of three days pay.
 Respectfully submitted,

bard would mind If the bill was he did not believe the governor would mind either.
 Would Sustain Veto.
 Minority Leader Fenton made it plain he was against the original bill and hoped the veto of the governor would be sustained. He said the gov ernor's veto message gave 40 reasons why the bill should not pass and most of them were good reasons. Mir. Durham got the floor again and made Q plea for sustaining the veto He said the bill was aimed at MT. Hub bard. and he hoped 'the Ku Klux methods" employed to oust him would be defeated.
 Bucklcy's Argument.
 MT. Buckley argued for the bill as constitutionally right and right in principle. He said it was no new thing for legislatures to be confronted by vetos of the executive. MT. Buck ley said he had been with this parti- cular piece of legislation for two years and should stay with it until the vote was taken. MT. Buckley re- iterated the statement that he had conferred with the governor over the original bill and the latter had ap- proved of 1t at that time. He took the responsibility alone for the intro- duction of the bill but said the word ing of the present form was better and the governor was correct that the purpose was the same as the original bill.
 Mir. filling of New Britain moved the previous question and House Chairman Buckley of the judiciary committee closed the debate.
