Of advertising rights to a New Ha
ven firm in the program for the
state police association field day here
August s. was the subject of discus
sion at a meeting of the directors
Of the Chamber at noon today.
The matter was brought up fol
owing a conference between Presi-
dent r. ". Atwood of the Chamber
of Commerce and Chief of Police
William c. Hart this morning. The
result of the conference. at which
time Chief Hart outlined the matter
from the police viewpoint. was to
give the impression that there was

Dolan, representing the police COM
mittee.

not called for the sole purpose of
discussing the controversy. although h

The directors voted to leave the
nffair on the table until next Thurs
day when Chief Hart or some rep
resentative Of the police department
will be present.
Officials of the Chamber of Com
merce declined to commit them
selves on any statement, prs t>rring
10 wait until they had more infor-
nation.
All agreed that no one wishes to
antagonize the police department.
and wondered how they could get
around the conflict between their
desire to show their appreciation of
police courtesies here, and at the
same time TO stand back of the
chamber ruling on program adver-
tising. 1t is expected that the differ
ences will be ironed ont.

Warden Lee states. Prior to 1914
hanging was the method used but
since that time the electric chair
has been used. Fifty-four electrocu-
tons have taken place there since
1914.
The surprising fact about the sys.
t. of handling prisoners in that
state, according to Warden Lee, is
the comparatively f w escapes. Only
86 prisoners took French leave from
the institution during 1927, and 90 of
them were recaptured, he was told.
Warden Lee was accompanied to
Hot Springs by his daughter, Miss
Julia Lee. He has been away about
q month, during which time he took
a series of treatments for rheuma-
tism at the Hot Springs baths. This
famous city has changed great
deal since he was there 20 years ago,
he says. A conflagration in 1913
wiped out % blocks of the main bust
ness district, but this has been COM
pletely rebuilt.
