four CHARGES
AGAINST YOUTH
Evasion Among Com
plants Filed - Collision
on South Elm Street

Clemens Poll, II, arrested last
night by Patrolman Joseph Phelan
on four counts of violating the mo-
tor vehicle law, was granted a con-
tinuance until Saturday by Judge
Theobald E. Conway in City Court
today.
The youth is charged with passing
a red light on South Elm street,
leaving the scene of an accident,
driving without a license, and theft
of an automobile.
According to Patrolman Phelan,
young Poll took an automobile own
ed by Alexander Guastaferri, of 2144
North Main street, and drove about.
On South Elm street he passed the
light, and struck car in which Mrs.
Mary Perazzini, of 1893 Hamilton
avenue was passenger.
Officer Phelan, who whistled at
the youth when he passed the light,
obtained a description of him from
Mrs. Perrazini and notified head
quarters. Lieut.. ErnestPakul and Of
ficer Joseph Cavanaugh went t.
Polls home, and arrested him after
questioning.

COURT TO RETURN
LIQUOR TO OWNER
Liquid Refreshments Held
as Evidence Pending
Trial of Accused

A quantity Of liquor seized from
Roy Choquette Of this city, awaiting
court trial on charges Of theft, was
returned to the proprietor Of Hill
street store this morning by supe-
rior Court CLERK George Freeman.
The liquor has been in custody Of
the clerk since the arrest two months
ago of Choquette who 3as nabbed
by Patrolman Anthony Stango after
a long chase In which the officer was
obliged to use the "iron claw" to
subdue Choquette.
The liquor was found, along with
ajimmie, outside the Hill street store
where the Choluette youth is alleged
to have broken into. The court Or
dered the liquor placed in the Gus
tody Of Clerk Freeman until the
owner called for it. He did this
morning.

latter must serve without COM
pensation). There are 102 towns in
the state of Connecticut where
there are no courts of record and
the only court service is that fur
nished by the justices of the peace.
Qualifications
The lone restriction as to quail
flcations of the probation officers,
except as to the probation Off
GERS appointed by the Fairfield and
the Windham county juvenile
courts, is found in Section 6516,
revision of 1880 which states that
probation officers shall not be &C
tive members of any regular police
force, or sheriffs, or deputy sher-
ifs"
At present judges do the hiring
and firing of probation officers.
the Connecticut Prison associa-
ton supervises adult probation.
In 1888 an amount totalling $685.
ISL was paid to 10 full time pro-
baton officers in II cities; the
highest salary was 4,450; the low
est 81 200 and the average $2,127.
Part time officers, 20 in Is towns
received a total of $10,568.39, the
highest salary being $1,000; the
lowest $68.43 and the average $3.50.
In is towns 10 officers were on a
fee basis, receiving a total of 81
082.57; the largest amount in fees
received by any one officer was
5000; the smallest SIS and the aver
age $109. The total $4,000.
The state could more effective
ly spend its money for probation
by establishing a state probation
service for all the minor courts
and justice courts, also, it could
subsidize the financing of proba-
ton in the minor courts if such
courts would meet the standards
set by the state as to qualif1ca-
tons, tenure of office and stand
ards of work. State probation Off
GERS. could be allocated to each
county to serve the justice courts
df the probation officers of the SUI
perior courts were full time en-
ployes. they might well perform
this function).
Again, with either of these
methods, state supervision Is nee
essary, and since the commissioner
OF welfare ha- abandoned super
vision of the juvenile courts, state
supervision should cover the juve-
nile court System; in fact, should
embrace all court systems where
probation Is used.
State supervision should include
the power t. establish qualifica-
tons for probation officers, stand
ards for the work, and authority
to investigate the work of the pro-
baton officer, and to make recon-
mendations for improvements. A
state supervision department
should have facilities for research
in probation and should promote
its devel, pment.
A bureau Of records is needed.
We have no complete figures for
Connecticut. $4,000 persons out of
a total Of 133,053, were placed on
probation il Massachusetts in the
year 1884. This is 26 per cent OF
the entire number. The British
home office reports IS per cent of
all dispositions in England and
Wales in 1896 placed on probation.
Massachusetts, statistics include all
offenses. Connecticut statistics ex-
clude motor vehicle offenses. since
the Connecticut courts make very
little use Of probation in disposing
OF such cases. 1t is apparent that
the percentage of those placed on
probation for all offenses in Con-
necticut would be given lower than

ENDORSING THE HEALTH PROGRAM

While we are not prepared to give
any whole-hearted endorsement to the de-
tails of the proposed national health pro-
gram, especially since the details are not
known to us, we feel that the people of
this country are united in a determination
that the great mass of the population, in
Guiding the unfortunate of every descrip-
ton, should have better medical care.
TIC say this is not with any intention
of crticising the medical profession,
which has it's problems. However, the adj
vanced treatment of modern scientific re-
search is not available to men, women and
children in this land for one reason or
another and, as a consequence, there are
deaths every day that could be prevented.
So far as the general purpose of the
health program is concerned it has the
support of most Americans. There may be
details that must be tried out and cor
rected upon the basis of experience but. in
the long run, the nation will greatly bene-
fit from the expenditure of any reasonable
sums, however large, upon preventing ill
ness and curing the diseased.

A CRUMB OF COMFORT
Manv millions of dollars have

Many millions of dollars have been
spent by various federal agencies in the
construction and maintenance of Key West
naval station. Some of the submarine base
facilities are serving a useful purpose in
the docking of yachts and pleasure craft,
in the service of the navy seaplane unit
now stationed here and in serving navy
boats which put in fuel and supplies.
The bulk of the governments invest
mert at the naval station is lying idle.
Quarters of the officers and enlisted men
are being used to house few radiomen, a
few naval officers and government Off
Gals and by the WPA as an area, head
quarters. The machine shops are closed,
the majority of the docks are not in serv-
ice. Quarters, shops and other facilities
are in first-class condition, just ready ard
waiting to be used.
Within the last few months move
ments have been launched to induce the y.
S. Maritime Commission to establish a
training school for sailors in the naval sta
ton and to induce the u S. Coast Guard
to station cutter here, where one is GER
Maritime Commission visited the station
and seemingly was impressed with the pos
sibilities for training school here, but no
official action on establishing such an in
stitution seems to have been taken. ~ ,,.
Last week Commander Lloyd Kiel-
horn, connected with what is known as the
permanent board of the Coast Guard at
~ 49, oI-<
personal inspection of the station and to as
semble housing and other data that would
enable him to report favorably on a recon-
mendation some time ago made by Com
mander Hilton that a cutter be stationed
here.
Commander Kielhorn is familiar with
conditions at Key West. He has been
stationed here on several occasions since
1913-and he likes Key West. He met a
number of public officials and the repre-
sentatives of our civic organizations and
he seemed convinced the city could proper
ly house the As to SO men who would came
here with cutter when it is assigned. The
commander, seemed inclined to agree with
Commander Hilton that the submarine
base would provide uneXcelled facilities
for the Coast Guard service.,.,r ..rs..,r; -
That comes under the head. of good
news. Too long Key West has been sitting,
on the sidelines while other Florida cities
have Been favored with naval Fseaplane
bases, naval bases and Coast Guard bases.
Reports indicate there is little immediate
prospect the naval station here will be
utilized by the navy on an active status; so
that the coming of a Coast Guard cutter is
one little crumb of comfort for the citizens
of this neglected community.

FEWER FATALITIES

1t is gratifying to be able to report
that fatalities at grade crossing accidents
in 1888 showed reduction from the
figures for 1887 The same trend, we be-
lieve, has been recorded in the death toll
from highway accidents not connected
with collisions with trains.
Undoubtedly, one of the reasons for
this improved safety record is the extensive
safety educational program that has been
launched in many ways in all sections of
the nation.
Let us keep the subject constantly in
mind and continue the good work that is
reflected in lower death rates.

at the price of being domineered

it were not for the traffic lights
to stop them htey would newt

Senator Pepper has gotten off the
wrong foot in number of instances re-
Gently. In move to control the Florida
vote for Roosevelt, he advocated the Flor
ida Democratic executive committee
should name the Florida delegation to the
Democratic National Convention in 1910,
instead of letting the voters do the NAM
ing. Furthermore he favors the construc-
ton of the Florida canal or rather its COM
pletion, more than $4,000, 900 having been
boondoggled thus far. His silliest bid for
popularity, however, is his advocacy of
pensioning former Panama Canal en-
ployees, who received good wages, free
rent for those married and free fuel, Is
days off each year with full pay; hospital
ization and doctors fee free. Unmarried
employees at l. C. c. in the Zone got meals
at 80 cents. A 30-meal ticket cost only
SIS. Sanitary conditions were excellent
and Colonel Goethals and Colonel Gorgas
saw to it that there were no flies nor mos
quitoes. Now the senator wants to pension
them. Ye Gods!
