Make a Demand for Proof of Dr.
Smyth's Charges A spicy Meet
ing.
Commissioner Doollttle was the only
member of the board not present last
evening. The meeting was an Interesting
one and Mr. Doollttle would have acquired
some knowledge of the ability of his
brother commissioners to make things
warm had he been present.
Mayor Sargent presided and acted as a
defender of the Law and Order league.
The five oommisslonera were either dl-
reotly opposed to Mm or leaning from
him.
President Hunn submitted the following
paper and asked permission to sign it as
president and in behalf of the board:
KiwUitis, Maroh 6, 1894.
Bev. Dr. Newman Smyth. President of
the Law and Order League of New Ha
ven:
Dear Sir In reply to the complaint of
your organization against the efficiency of
the police department of this olty, pre
sented by you at the meeting of the boara
of police commissioners held on Tuesday,
the 27th ult.. permit me tossy, in Denati
of the board, that after carefnl considera
tion ox the allegations contained therein.
we are impressed with the desirability of
more thorough investigation of the facts
UDOn which the same are Dasea. ine al
legation that members of this department
are in leaeuelwlth the violators of the law,
and have protected from them its enforce
ment by timely notice or intenaea raias,
we feel to be specially unjust, and we can
not suffer it to pass without proor.
We most reapectfnlly request that suoh
proof as you may have be presented at
onr next meeting.
Conscious only of a desire to promote
the efficiency of the department as an
agency for the suppression of crime, the
enforcement of the law, the preservation
of order, the repression of Immorality
and indecency, we welcome any assistance
to that end that may be afforded by good
citizens, we stand ready to punish, as it
may deserve, any negleot of duty on the
part of anv member of the foroe and to
this end invite the co-operation of any
and every citizen who may become cogni
zant ot any suon negleot ot amy.
We feel obliged to take if sue with you
in reference to your declaration that this
is "a function which private citizens
ought not to be obliged io assume."
We bold it to be the duty of every good
citizen to co operate with us in promoting
tne emoiency or tne aepartment Dy mak
ing known to ns any evidence they may
have of any neglect of duty on the part of
any msmDer or tne lorce.
We could suggest, however, that it
would be more conducive to the efficiency
of the department, more certain to insure
the detection and punishment of the vio
lators of the law, and more likely to pro
tect the fait name and repute of our oity
if such communications could be made
without unnecessary publicity.
To the members of the Law and Order
leazue, to all good citizans of New Hiven,
we have simply to say that if yon have any
evidence of specific negleot of duty, or
any evidence of police malfeasance of any
kind, the production of the same before
this board in proper form will always be
welcome and wul be treated with that de
gree of consideration which its importance
demands.
We must be pardoned, however, for de
clining to investigate wholesale charges un
supported by evidence ana shall rely upon
the sober common sense of the community
for our justification in so doing.
Keepeetfnlly yours,
Francis E. Hunn,
President Board Commissioners, for the
Board.
In the second sentence the word "chal
lenge" appeared before the word "proof.
Mayor sargent obi'Cted to this. Uommis
sionera Clanoy, Glihuly, Hunn and Prince
seemed to think that toe word was all
right. Commissioner Poronto was more
conservative. On his advice the word was
striken out and the board authorized the
signing of it by President Hunn.
After the meetlDg adjourned Commis
sioner Piiocs said to Mayor Sargent:
"The police department is very
c'ent."
Mayor Sargent responded: "So they
thought in New York until it wasfonnd to
be otherwise."
A TREMENDOUS SALE.
Tickets for tne ".Hessian" Almost All
Sold Large Number of Ont-of-Town
Parties to be Here Ben Davles, the
Famous Tenor, to Arrive In Tbls
Country Saturday.
The sale of seats for "The Messiah" be
gan at 9 o'clook yesterday morning at the
Hyperion, At that hour there were about
200 people in line Of this number five
had been in line since Saturday night, the
others having lined np gradually since
then. From the time the sale began np to
12 o'clock about 150 more took positions
in line.
The sale was conducted in the bast pos
sible manner. The doors of the lobby of
the theater were kept oloaed and two offi
cers were on duty to see that the forma
tion of the line was preserved. Only one
purchaser was admitted to the lobby at
time, and thus all crowding abont the box
office wa avoided.
The house last evening was practioally
sold for the evening performance, there
being a few seats still left. The sxecntlve
committee of the Gounod society wish to
announce that for a . concert of this sort
every seat in the Hyperion is an available
one. xne tickets for the matinee are go
lng fast and it is only a matter of a few
days when the tickets for the afternoon
psrformanoe will be just as scarce as those
for the evening. Many people were willing
to pay $8 and $10 for a desirable seat for
the evening d performance.
It was estimated last evening that yes
terday's sale bad surpossed all previous
uounoa sales, xne ont-ot-town attend
ance this year promises to be very large,
ana tne oraers already receive 1 far snr
passes those of last year. Large partita
are ooming trom Ausonla, Birmingham,

and still others from np the Naugatnck
valley and as far away a Forestvllle.

debut in Berlin, with Herr Johannes Wolff, the

Davies achieved a most brilliant success The
management was probably not quite familiar
with the circumstances here, and the conse

this, the Germans are a little conceited with re
gard to music, and meet foreigners with some

It is many years Mnce a tenor has been heard

should he come again to Berlin he would receive
a uearty welcome, lie sang "Wart Her Angela"

Them.
There were abont twenty gentlemen
present at the hearing before the legisla
tive commissioners on a new olty oharter
in the aldermanlo chamber last evening,
The members of tha oommiaeion present
were J. N. States, Henry 0. White and
Ell Whitney, jr.
Dr. 8. G. Hubbard was the first speaker.
He said that it waa a question with him
whether the oity oharter should be revised
or wholly abolished and a new one substi
tuted for it. He thought the oharter
needed reconstruction. When asked his
opinion about watering the pavements he
poke of the necessity of keeping the Tel
ford pavements moist, as when they were
not they tended to disintegrate and prove
an injury to health. He had observed in
other cities that they were always kept
moist. He had seen much of the Telford
dreeaing scooped np with the mud and
carried away in carts in this oity. He also
spoks of the tendency of dust to produoe
disease and said the public health urgently
demanded that these pavements be kept
moist. The dust is nothing but finely
powdered trap rock and is sharp and grit
tv. causing bronohial troubles when In
haled. There are thirty or forty miles of
this pavement in this city being constantly
ground np by horses and wagons.
Septimus u. r leeiwooo. was tne secona
speaker. He favored the consolidation cf
town, city and school governments. The
mavor should have the power c f appoint
ing commissioners; should preside over the
boara or aiaermen, ana nave tne veto
power. "There will be no rf aiponslbility,"
he said, "wicnout power, ana no power
without responsibility. If we want a new
oharter we must get out of the old rat."
Health Umcer w riant was tnen called
upon for a few words. He spoke especially
of the board of health. He thought that
any nomination should be made by the
mayor, ue aid not tnink a single neaaea
commission was for the best interests of
the oity.
a. J. Masterson was tne next speaker,
He said: "I favor consolidation of town
and oitv eovernments. It is nrged that if
the question of consolidation be placed to
the popular vote the city would out-vote
the outlying districts. Yet, I am in favor
of this being done. These suburbs really
partake in the benefits and advantages of
the city. And 1 think west fiaven should
be included in these outlying districts also
Concerning the appointing power, I don't
oelieve in it at all. I would glvs the mayor
fnll power over all the boards, and let the
people elect single-headed commissions."
Commissioner Malay of the board of pub
lic works next spoke. He said: "Tha
mayor ought to have more -power, bnt I
am not an advocate of non-partisan
boaraa. i oeiieve in nxmg tne responsl
billty on either the republicans or demo
crats and making them accountable to the
oity for their actions. I also want to
speak of certain usages in the city court.
I believe as things are now it only costs
about $3, I understand, to call a jury whloh
may sit for weeks and teen has to be paid
for by the people. There should be reform
In this respeot. I think the aldermen
should be compensated for their service.
H. H, Lane thought It should be easier
for the people to call the board of alder
men together, bnt not so easy as to make
it possible to vent personal spite. He
would not interfere witn tne election ot
the commissioners of education.
Ex Police Commissioner Hart spoke next.
He said: "I am a supporter of the old
oharter. To ne it Is au old friend. It has
famished a wise form of government, wlee
ly adapted to the beat interests of the city.
For thirteen years it has furnished us with
unrivalled prosperity and peace. No
money has been misappropriated. The
oity is round financially. We have a most
efficient police ' force. It is only the
scheming and designing power that cries
out against the old charter, or the official
hiding bis efficiency by crying out lack of
power. The mayor has all the power that
Is needed.
'The responsibility of suocess or failure
lies with the people, politicians will cap
ture any system if the people sleep." He
also said that he had never seen any evil
results growing ont ot the deadlock there
was in the board of police commissioners
while he was a member.
Attorney A. MoClellan Matthewson was
the next speaker. He held that all public
school teachers should be nominated by
the various school principals and then
elected by the board of ednoation. He
thought that the various school principals
oonld determine the needs of the sohools
better than any others. They should be
held responsible for the conduct of their
sohools. This would place responsibility
somewhere ana make someone accountable.
I object to abolishing non partisan boards.
I am opposed to a single-headed commis
sioner. I object to politioa of any kind
entering into our ci'y government. Bat
parties have got to be the origin of a great
deal of work. Sut the police department
shonld be kept pure. So that when an ex
citement carries the mind of the people be
yond the regular ideas, we want a police
force which is strlotly non partisan. Iu re
gard to theoutiymgdistrlcts wanting a town
government, I would say let them go with
an adjacent town; 1. e , Weatvllle with'
Woodbtidge and that part of New Haven
next to East Haven go to East Haven, or
else let them come into the city.
J. J. Kennedy was the last speaker and
advocated giving greater power to the
mayor, and SDoke against tho system of
appointing.
The next meeting will be held in abont
two weeks, at a date to be announoed.
Again Honored.
0. S. Davidson, superintendent of the
Hartford division of the Consolidated
roilroad, has been elected a polioe com

Many spring changes on Chapel street
will occur this year, as In preceding
springs. The owners of ths Glebe building
will soon begin the enlargement ot tne
two fronts of the building. On the Chapel
street aide the front will, when the obange
is made, be on a line with that of F. M.
Brown 6c Co., which will add quite a num
ber of feet to the size of the stores in the
bnlldlnz. and the enlargement on the
Chnroh atreet side will b) fully aa ojn
splouons. The whole will be a handsome
Improvement to Chapel street.
Ida redan C. Perry will make S1.UUU
worth of improvements in the fine store
which he has secured In this building,
whloh is muoh larger than his present
store, from which he removes in time to
occupy his new store, April 1. The im

Un the other side further down tne u. u.

very handsome improvement of their store
which speaks for ltselt to tne passers oy
and tells of enterprise and push.
Up the atreet, opposite the bntum
Osborn hall and across from the New Ha

new building is to b9 erected in the place
of the Townaend block. The new build

property of the famous Koger Sherman,
where the Republican league house now
stands; on the north by Chapel street, east
by College street and south by the lot on
which the College street Congregational
church la now. All of this property has
been from time to time disposed of except
the corner plot, which has remained in the
possession of the Townsend family, and
who now propose when the leases of ten,
ants of the Townsend block expire to build
tne strnoture above spoken of.

"The mayor knows tbat we cannot re

mayor had a motive la not signing It, It
looks as though he eolllcqi1zd thu: As
long as the conrt of common council will
not bear my voice l will go to some one
else."
It wss decided to return the communi

I do not want to bear anything on tnis
matter," said B E. Baldwin. "I am tired
of being instructed by the mayor aa to
what we ought to do In official and private

It's neat to have around,
makes but little trouble and
is free from poisonous effects.
Such fascinating amusements
are seldom invented. See
the specimens, make a trial

fun of "Etchene" at 19
cents a bottle with necessary
directions.
If history repeats itself,
the marrying season will be

Easter. We esteem sufficient
honor in getting up the Wed

to not only best execution
but to very latest design.

Many Ladies
regard the " Shopping Tick
ets " as almost indispensable
to easy shopping. Sales
people are always willing to
supply these tickets which
take the record of all pur
chases, relieve the accumula
tion of numerous little pack
ages and resolve otherwise
numerous payments into one
settlement when you are
through trading. Then give
your delivery instructions at
the ' Information Desk "un
less goods are to be taken
with you.
We had something all cut
and dried for yesterday's
paper about Silvered Picture
Frames and what do you
think? Cute people bought
them all up on Saturday.
Going to have more
though.
