State Police Report
Made To Gov. Baldwin
Expenses Of Maintaining Depart
ment Shown To Be Very
Heavy
Stratford Shows Greatest Activ
ity Of Department-Not Be
cause It's Wicked, Says
Rev, Mr. Carpenter
Hartford, Oct. 3 The report of the
state police department for the year
ending June 30, 1913, has been pre
sent! d by the commissioners of the
Ntate police to Governor Simeon .
Baldwin.
The report covers in detail the wirk
of the state police for the year :n
question. The report is tabulated by
towns, the tables showing the num
ber of prosecutions for each offense
and the disposition of the cases.
During the year there were 1,349 In
vestigations by the officers of the state
police. These investigations were fol
lowed by 602 prosecutions. There
were 201 deportations. Assistance was
rendered the secretary of the state in
the investigation of auto accidents,
violations of the automobile law, etc.,
in 241 cases.
The department received $36,899.34
from the state treasurer; $15,063.43 was
paid m salaries and $14,433.16 In trav
eling expenses. Deputy, sheriffs were
paid $4,800.62 and $2,297.13 was paid for
office expenses. The department paid
to the state treasurer $11,363.68 and
the sum of $3,754 was paid or payable
to the state In cases in which the state
police were concerned that were dis
posed of in the. superior court or In
the courts of common pleas. The to
tal amount due the state through the
efforts of the department was, there
fore,, $16,117.68. f
The greatest number of prosecutions
in any single town was in Stratford,
where 99 prosecutions for various of
fenaep were made. The greater num
ber of prosecutions in this as in other
towns, were for violations of the auto
mobile and liquor license laws.
Seventeen prosecutions were made
In Hartford, eight of which were for
violations of the liquor license law.
Eleven cases were prosecuted, In New
Haven, all for violation of the liquor
license law and fourteen in Bridge
port. An : important feature of the work of
the department is the regulation of
moving picture theatres and the en
forcement of the law regarding their
operation and management. One of
the requirements of this law Is that
Inspections must be made by the state
police of the plans for all moving pic
ture houses to determine their com
pliance with the provisions, of the law
regarding Are prevention. The statis
tics of this work show the large re
cent growth of the moving picture bus
iness. The department also exam
ines moving picture machine operators
for licenses. -
During the year 423 inspection were
made and 267 buildings and booths

cases electric lighted within and glass
floored closets- within which not "-a

one moving picture operators were ex
amined .Of whom 179 were licensed. Of
the operators' licenses In foce in 1912
13i 267 were renewed for 1913-14. Fees
received; for new licenses amounted
to $537 and for the renewal of li
censes, $267 The fees received for
the Inspection of plans, premises and
booths amounted to $2,240.67.
Rev. B. C. Carpenter,- the leading
spirit of the Good Government league
of Stratford was not unduly exorcised
by' the report of the state police. He
said that the ' fact that one of the
members of the1 state police deparment
lived in Stratford Jed to his acting
in many cases which in other towns
would be handled by regular town of
ficers. Hence, he says, the report of
the state police" department shows ac
tivities above the average for Strat
ford. ..
"I think the record is made up of a
great many small cases," said Rev.
Mr. Carpenter, "that : are not of very
much importance. We ' have a state
policeman in the village and on ev
ery little thing coming up requiring
his services, he is called upon. Mr.
"Wheeler's duties are like' those of a
town policeman for all practical pur
poses. "Many of the arrests haye not been
made at instigation of the Good Gov
ernment league. I should say that al
together we had but five or six cases
and they were saloonkeepers charged
with violating the law. It Is easy to
see how such a list can be made to
look really large and not be so from
the standpoint of actual crime. I
have no doubt, that auto speeding vio
lations have done a good deal to aug
ment the list. We have our own pe
culiar ways in this town."
