Justice Holmes Oldest Man

GSCF tO Slt Wh SUpEtItlc lDCIaCu
 Hale and hearty at the age of S7 years and months Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States supreme court. has the unique dis tinction of being the oldest judge to sit on that distinguished bench. Only one other man served his country at such an age and that was Chief Justice Roger B. Fancy of Maryland, who served on the bench from 1S36 to 1864, dying while in office at the age of S7 years and four months.
 Justice Holmes although the old est in years, lacks 8 years to vie with the record of number of years spent in the service of this office, which is 34 and held by four jus- tices. John Marshall of Virginia, who served as chief justice from 1901 to 1885: Justice Joseph Story of Massachusetts. from 1911 to 1S45; Justice Stephen J. Field of California. from 1863 to 1897, and Justice John M. Harlan, from 1877 to 1911. But on the other hand Justice Holmes is not only the old est on the bench, he is also the oldest in point of service of the present justices, having served in the office since 1902, while his near est rival in that respect is Justice Willis Van Devanter of Wyoming, who has been on the bench since 1910.
 Justice Holmes is the son of the famous poet and essayist, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and was born in Boston in 1S41. He is graduate of Harvard college and the Harvard Law school. He saw service in the Civil war with the Twentieth Mas sachusetts Volunteers and received the brevet of colonel. After the war he engaged in law practice in his home town and at the same time was editor of the American Law Review. In 1882 he became professor of law in the law school of which he was a graduate and the same year was appointed to the su- preme bench of his native state,
 He was appointed associate jus- tice of the U. s. Supreme court in 1902 to succeed Horace Gray of Massachusetts. which position was vacated by the latter's death. He | received his appointment at the hands of President Theodore Roose- welt, and since then served his coun- try in that respected position with distinction. Although not poet or an essayist like his father, Jus tice Holmes is also an author hav- ing written numerous books on legal subjects, the outstanding works be- ing a volume of Speeches. 'The Common Law" and the twelfth edi- ton of Rents Commentaries.

0epArtmeuL, ana ID cn4rBo 0I Se' trolIhan Thomas c. Dolan. has besu demonstrated in . number of tn- stances recently. and bids fair to become an important adjunct to the department as the city grows and the demand for police service in its numerous phases. increases ac- cordingly.
 The bureau k equipped with suf- hcient paraphernalia for photo- graphing criminals and finser-print- ing them. and eventually 1t ts hoped to add g developing procesA capable of producing results much moro quickly than is possible with the present limited equipment. The ''rogues gallery" in which are kept the photographs and record of the physical characteristics of everyone convicted in New Britain of scrious crimes has proved its worth to the local department and the authorities of other places in . number of cases. 4
 Patrolman Dolan. . veteran of the World War. is considered one of the best finger print men in police service considering the comparative ly short period of time in which he has been in the work. Some de- partments in New England have veterans in charge of the identifica- ton and classification work, and others have yet to equip themselves with service of this nature. Patrol- man Dolan spent some time in the Hartford bureau learning the work before taking over management of the work in tho local department.
 One of the most important bits of finger-printing done by Patrolman Dolan enabled the Meriden police to obtain conviction against a young burglar who baffled the au- thorities for 8 number of weeks, operating in thirty-six separate jobs similar to those which are puzxlin2 the local police at the present tim.- A Meriden officer brought an office transom to Patrolman Dolan and had him examine it for prints, in the hope that a suspect who had been seen in the building from which tho transom came. might be connected with the breaks. One ex- cellent print was found and accord ing to Patrolm; n Dolan's classifica- ton, it was that of the suspect, but in order to be sure. the veteran "Ownie" Daily of the New Haven police was called in at the suggeS- tion of Patrolman Dolan. Daily cor roborated the finding. and in Meri- den police court the finger print played an all important part in ob- taining the conviction.
 The principal use to which the bureau is put " the local police is to check up on men and women arrested here and suspected of hav- ing police records elsewhere. Their finger print classifications are sent to the bureau of identification at Washington, D. C., and within a day or two word comes back that they have or have not records on file. In the event that they are fugitives from justice, the fact becomes known in this manner.
 Patrolman Dolan devotes time to the identification work only when it is on hand, which sometimes keeps him in the bureau day at time. and often not for week or more. He is on the day patrol force. hay. ing charge of the farmers market manages the department baseball team, and was active on committee work in connection with the field day and convention of state police departments in this city last Aug ust.

Chanee in Traffic Signals
 Cause Of Extra Confusi0u
 This matter of the traffic lights gets rapidly worse instead of better. The idea of substituting walk for caution" cA the amber lenses seems right enough. but the depart ment has not yet changed the signs on the posts ana poles. and we must imagine that . stranger, coming into the city and reading that pe- detrians should croas when light is red. would become somewhat annoy ed after waiting half an hour or so aud then finding that there is no red light at all. If he can read and if he believes what he reads, he can come to no other conclusion than that pedestrians are forbidden to cross.
 In . more serious vein. the re- noval of red lenses at the Y. M. c. A. corner gives two croas streams of cars constant green lights and ts H. able to lead to collisions between cars whose drivers think they have sole right to pass the intersection. And we don't quite see the sense Of having the lights at Washington and High streets always opposite to each other. It may work for cars coming into tho center. but 1t means that cars bound out West Main street ab- solutely cannot escape a stop at the post office, even if they have just had to halt at the Burritt hotel. The ''all green" posts allow traffic to flow into the center in steadier vol- tune than before. but at Washing ton and High streets it meets red lights and the jam is worse than ever. This may he strengthened out when the Main street crossing is re- opened. but the week that this was closed seems to US a most peculiar time in which to test out the effica- cy of a new scheme.
 Actually, the changes are coming TO frequently that we are beginning to dream about them. The other night we dreamed we walked down by the post office and found that the green lenses had been replaced by blue ones and the amber lenses by white ones, the red lenses re- maining as before. When we saw this patriotic color array, we ap- preached a policeman standing un- der the lights and wisecracked as follows: Red, white, and blue, hey? Lookx like the Star Spangled Ban ner. doesn't it?" The policeman gave us a very dirty look and most cer- tainly did not like the joke.
 Upon waking and thinking 1t over what we agree with him.
