The first record of an automobile prosecution by the
Boston police was made only thirteen years ago, when the
single ofTence of the year 1901 was the dri%ing of a motor
car in a public park without a permit. In 1902 there were
33 prosecutions; in 1903, 67; in 1904, 179; in 1905, 102; in
1906, 30S; in 1907, 961; in 190S, l,S6o; in 1909, 2,196; in

1915.1 PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49.
"Murders" axd "Homicides."
The number of "murders" or "homicides" in the United
States is a subject of frequent comment in the newspapers.
The statistics seem to be gathered annually by an uno£5ciaI
publication in a western citj', and sent out through the press
associations with comments verj* much to the discredit of
this country as compared with the countries of Europe. The
compiler of the statistics usually finds that from 4,000 to
5,000 "murders" or "homicides" are committed in the
United States each year, with an absurdly small percentage
of arrests and punishments. I do not know the original
sources of these figures or the analyses, if any, to which they
are subjected before publication; neither do I know the
number of such crimes attributed to Boston; but I feel sure
that, without the closest scrutiny and classification of cases,
no publication purporting to inform the people of this
country as to the number of "murders" committed among
them can be of any real value.
I have thought it worth while to make such scrutiny of
cases arising in Boston. The records show that in the police
year ended Nov. 30, 1914, the Boston police made 63 arrests
of persons charged with manslaughter and 17 arrests of per-
sons charged with murder. With this total of SO tested by
the supposedly small percentage of arrests throughout the
countrj', the distant tabulator might probably attribute to
Boston a number of "murders" much in excess of 80. The
truth is that almost all the arrests on the charge of man-
slaughter involved drivers of vehicles or persons engaged in .(5
other operations through which accidental deaths have oc-
curred. Such persons are placed under arrest, actually or
technically, to await investigation by the courts, and they
are usually discharged without delay.
Another small group of manslaughter charges is based on
cases in which an ordinarj- fist fight, without weapons and
usually between drunken persons, results in the death of one_
participant, not directly from blows but from fractures of
the skull following falls. All persons charged with man-
slaughter or with assault and battery under these conditions
10 POLICE COM.MISSIONER. (Jan.
were cither (iistliarged by the lower courts or were freed on
the finding of "No bill" by the grand jury.
Leaving aside such matters as the foregoing, an analysis
of the records shows the following to be the cases within the
year in which murder or a crime of like character could be
charged: - —
Dec. 2, 1913. — Edward Howc-ott was found dead with his
throat cut. Wheeler Mills was charged with the crime as a
consequence of a dispute over a girl. Aug. 6, 1914, ^Jills
was arrested at St. Paul, Minn., and brought to Boston.
He is under indictment and awaiting trial.
Dec. S, 1013. — John Francisco was stabbed, and on the
11th died, llic wound was said to have been received in an
argument with Rayfieid Martello, who escaped to Italy,
which refuses extradition in such cases, requiring that trials
shall take place in that countrj".
Jan. 22, 101/,. — Kairaclle Covino died as a result of a
blow on the head with a club. RafTaele Grillo, charged with
striking the blow, disappeared, but on September 21 sur-
rendered himself. lie pleaded guilty to manslaughter, and
was sentenced to State Prison for five to ten years.
Jan. 23, 191 4. — .\ftcr a fight between Michele Marata

tenced to State Prison for eight to eleven years.
April 10, 1014. — Graham Cox was shot and killed by
Willis C. Cottrcll, who was arrested and indicted for man-
slaughter. .\t the trial, the circumstances of the shooting

latter the court instructed the jury to return a verdict of
not guilty.
.ipril 22, 1014. — Harry Cataldo was shot by .Alfred Rosa

Not. 30, 1914. — Santo Cugno died, and Gaetano Buc-
chicri was arrested, charged with having caused the death
by striking Cugno on the head with a bottle. Case awaiting

It is to he observed that —
1. The deaths for the year numbered 19.
2. The identity of all persons responsible, if responsibility
■ e.\isted, was discovered by the police.
I 3. The persons guilty of three of the crimes committed
suicide, — two at the time and one while on trial.
I 4. Of the persons charged with causing the other 16
' deaths, all were arrested with the exception of two; one is
t beyond reach of trial here and the other has been missing
■ since September 7, but his photograph and description have
; been widely circulated.
I 5. Of the 17 persons arrested, 2 having been placed under
I charges in each of three cases, 5 are awaiting trial and the
( cases of the other 12 have been dbposed of as follows: State
Prison, 1 for life and 4 for long terms; sentenced to the
Women's Reformatory, 1; committed to Boston State Hos-
pital, 1: found not guilty, 3; case nol pross'd, 1; jurj'
. disagreed, 1.
I 6. In no case was the element of "mystery" present, nor
was any homicide c-ommitted in connection with another
crime, such as robbcrj' or burglar^-. All were the results of
insanity, angry quarrels or manifestations of the cruder
passions.
Arre-sts IX Gexer.\l, 1904 .\xd 1914.
In the police year ended Xov. 30, 1914, the number of
arrests, actual or technical, excluding arrests for drunken-
ness, was .30,040. In the police year ended Xov. 30, 1904,

the corresponding arrests numbered 16,754. Of these two
totals representing miscellaneous prosecutions, 9,725 in 1914
and 2,376 in 1904 were on summonses, as distinguished from
those following peremptory' arrests.
The increase in population in ten years has been 25 per
cent., and the increase in miscellaneous prosecutions in the
same period has been 79 per cent. A tabulator in another
city would assume that there had been a growth of "crime"
in Boston far in excess of the growth in population. An
examination of details, however, discloses the fact thnt the
apparently disproportionate increase in prosecutions is due
largely, if not exclusively, to the following conditions: —
1. An increase in the number of arrests not involving
original offences committed in Boston. The principal items

Method of Rf.cruitx.vg the Force.
No man can enter the Boston police force except in the
lowest grade, as a reserveman; and no appointment of re-
servcmcn can be made except from lists certified by the
Massaclnisctts Civil Service Commission. Although this
procedure lias been a matter of law for nearly thirty years,
it is understood by comparatively few citizens.
A man who wishes to enter the force must be a citizen of
IS POLICE COMMISSIOXER. [Jan.
the I'nite*! States ami must have lived in Massachusetts
imnie*Iiatcly preceding his application at least one year and
in IV»^trm at least six months. lie must l>e not less than
iweniy-five nor more than thirty-tlirce jears of age, though
if oacv qualified in all respects and placed upon the eligible
list he may he apiwinted up to the age of ihirty-fi\"e. He
must lie at least five feet eiglit inches in height and must
weigh at least 140 pounds. Failing as to any of the fore-
going <T>nditions, or as to any of some others not here speci-
fie<l, bis application will not be received by the Ci\ il Service
Commif-ion.
The application itself is a formidable document filled and
sworn to by the applicant and embodying answers to scores
of questioas bearing upon his moral, mental and physical
({ualiS^-ations for iK)lice service. It is a document such as
no private employer would jilace before an applicant, and
yet frj-r pr»lice j)iirposes it contains nothing .-nperfluous. The
name? of all persons whose apjilications on their face appear
to enthle them to further consideration are sent by the Civil
Ser\'i<-e Commission to the police commissioner for c-areful
and trxifidential inquiry. Those inquiries are made by
officers of rank in the jioiice di\ isions in which the candidates
respertivdy live, and the rejjorts in writing which arc re-
tume»i to the Civil Service Commission relate to the char-
acter, habits and associates of the applic-ants. Should any
matter be disclose<l which, in the opinion of the Civil Service
Commisrion, <lisqualifies the candidate, his application is re-
jected.
Once or twice annually persons then eligible arc called by
the Civfl Service Commission for a mental, written exami-
nation which, though searching in character, is designed
mainly to asc-ertain the general intclligente of the person
respr>i!»iing. Should he receive a mark not lower than C5
per ctnt- he is passed on for a particularly rigid physical
examination. The first requirement is tliat the candidate
shall he in a condition of perfect health, and that he shall be
free from physical blemishes, such as flat feet, crooked spine
or even i>ad t*»eth, unless capable of being so restored as to
secure prr»per mastic-ation. A second jwrt of the physical
e.xamination consists of elaborate tests of muscular strength
1915.] PUBLIC DOCUMEXT — Xo. 49. 19
as employed in different ways, of agility, etc. The strenuous
nature of these physical tests will be better understood when
it is known that in eight and a half years, a period within
which more than a thousand of these picked men have been
examined, only two secured 100 per cent.
A candidate who has met every requirement and has
passed both mental and physical examinations with marks
above 65 per cent, is placed on an eligible list. To determine
the order in which candidates shall be entered on the list,
each man's marks in the mental and physical examinations
are added together and divided by two. The quotient is his
average percentage, and the man securing the highest
average goes to the top of the list, with otliers following in
the order of average. It may as well be said that the pass
mark of 65 per cent, is of no possible value, the percentages
credited to the men who are ultimately appointed being far
above that figure.
When the police commissioner desires to appoint reserve-
men he applies to the Civil Service Commission for the
certification of names from its list. A graded surplus of
names is always certified. For example, on a call for 10
men, the number is IS, and so on, in an established pro-
portion. With the names the police commissioner receives
the original applications and examination papers of the
certified men. These are scrutinized in detail, and for con-
venience a summary of the special points in each case is
prepared. ^leanwhile, a list of the names has been posted
in each station hou.se of the department, witli the require-
ment that police officers who have information derogatory
to any candidate shall so report. Such reports are often
made, but usually apply to some long-past misdemeanor
acknowledged by the candidate himself in his wTitten ap-
plication to the Civil Service Commission. When no such
acknowledgment is found, investigation follows; ard should
it become clear that the truth was intentionally concealed,
the candidate receives no further consideration under any
circumstances. Any testimony from police or other sources
tending to show undesirable qualities or conditions, such as
temper, laziness, domestic troubles, etc., is carefully weighed.
After the names have been displayed about ten days, the
20 rOLICE COMMISSIONER. (Jan.
candidates are notified to appear at tiie commissioner's
office at a certain time, bringing with them, if they wish, any
written rect>mmendations which they can secure. As new
men it is <ie~irahle that as much as possible should be
learned abfKit them, but no attention is given to rec-ommen-
dations from citizens who are unable to say that they
personally kiK>w the candidate. A letter from a pastor, a
grocer, a Undlorxl or an employer who knows the man has
weight, bat letters from a score of distinguished citizens
without personal knowledge of the candidate would have not
tlie slightest effect.
The assemiJe*! candidates are questioned and inspected one
by one ami separately by the commissioner and the superin-
tendent, and after all have been seen the men to be ap-
pointed are selectetl. It is rarely a matter of rejection, —
almost always of selection in accordance with the letter and
the spirit of the law. Those who are to be appointed are
notified to I* present at a specified time, when they are
sworn in as reser\emen. The title is old and slightly mis-
leading; tbif men are not held in reserve but are incorporated
as prohatiffOtrn in the police force, giving up all outside
work. The ji<ay the first year is at the rate of $2 a day for
3G.J tiay.s, and the second year, S2.25 a day; but soon after
the middle of the second year a reserveman who has shown
his fitness is usually appointed a regular patrolman, at
§1,000 a year. This rate increases in successive years to
•SI, 100, $1^**. .$1..300 and .?1,400, which is the ma.ximum.
A man certified by the Civil Service Commission and not
appointe*! is certified twice again, unless meanwhile a new
eligible li.^t has been made up. !Men are often appointed on
their second certification and sometimes on their third, for
the reason iLat each candidate in each squad is judged, not
only on his orn apparent personal merits, but with reference
also to the merits of all the other applicants. Should a new
e.xaminatirro }^ ordered while a candidate is awaiting action,
he may at his option take rank according to his former mark
or enter the i>ew examination and abide by its result.
.\n idea fA the quality of the men secured may be obtained
from the foDf^wing list of the first 20 men certified by the
Civil .Scr\'iee Commission in 1914: —

In the light of these figures it is not surprising that
Richard H. Dana, Esq., probably the most conspicuous living
advocate of civil service reform methods, should have de-
clared in a public address that the Boston policemen "are
physically finer than the West Point cadets."
There is a gradual though not marked falling off in some
respects as the lists are drawn upon, but as the number of
appointments in a year seldom exceeds 50, excellent material
can always be had. Without attempting perfect accuracy, it
may be said broadly that of 200 young men who believe that
they are fit in all respects, 100 reach the eligible list, and 50
chosen from the hundred become policemen. If any methods
other than those now followed can produce better results, I
do not know what they are.
22 rOLICE COMMISSIONKFJ. [Jan.

t IXJLRIES TO PrISOXEIW.
After a tliorough test of cliapter 2.%, Acts of 1013, as
amended l)y cliapter 72S of the same year, rc-<jiiiriiij; "reports
of injuries of persftns arrested," I deem it my duty to call
attention to the cumhrous .-nul unprofitaMe o[H-ration of that
statnte. Tiic histor>- and purport of the orij;inal act,
chapter '2'->C>, was presented to the I5o>ton iK>liee department
in General Order No. 707, issued March 27, 1013, as fol-
lows : —
The department is hereby informed of the itt'^ase of cliapter 23G,
Acts of 1913, entitled "An Act to provide for reports of injuries of
persons arrested," which takes cfTjct April 3, and is as follows: —
Section' I. Whenever a [kt^od i» arresleil f<jr a rriminal ofTcnec ari'l ia
taken to or confirietl in a jail. jHtlire ^lalion. I*>ckup "r Mbor place, the o(Bc-er
ID charpe thereof >haU immetliatelj' 4-xamine the pri***iyT. and if he finds any
bruises, euts or other injuries !-hall f>,rth»"ilh make a wriilen report thereof,
to the ehief of poliee of the city or town concerned. »Trrpt that in Boston the
report shall l>c made to the r»'»lirc cr»nimi«?ioner, ai*<l id towns where there U
no chief of police the refK,rt ^hall 1* made to the M{#^^iz»ea.
Section- 2. Failure to comply with the prelvi^<iou» «»f ihtJ act thall be pun-
L«hed by a fine of not more than ten dollars for eaib off»i>ce.
I am unable to ad\Tsc the dejKirtmcnt as to ll<c manner in which
tiiis act is to be olx-ycd. .ludgini; from the record <A its pas-sagc through
the legislature, it rc^juircs tlu-it cver>- prisoner nrt-ivrtl at a station
house or a lockup shall \>c examined innnc-diatcly by llic officer in
charge, and that the examination shall I)e ct/mjAclc and therefore
with the clothing of the prisoner removed. The n-coni is as follows: —
The bill as originally introduced by a citizen |>bce<l no limit upon
the injuries to Ix- re[X)rte<l.
The conmiittee on legal alTa'rs, to which it was referred, reported
the bill back to the Legislature nnth an ameivlment Umiting the in-
juries to be reix)rte<l to those "which may Ix; vl-iblc."
The I.egislaturc change<l in several respect* the language of the
bill as rcix)rted, and removed l!ic limitation by Mriking out the words
"which may Ix; visible."
With such a legislative record there could Ix; do doubt of the inten-
tion of the Legislature and the duty of the j^^lice if the case were
that of an ordinan.- statute, literal obedience Ut which would be hu-
manly possible. If the words "which may Ix; ^-fc-iUe" were intended,
as they apparently were, to exclude from examination parts of the
botly usually covered, the removal of those woerls by the I>egislature
would m.akc the meaning of the statute to Ix; that the entire body of
each prisoner should be examined by the officer in charge, and tliat all
injuries, new or old, should be reported. But in Boston the persons
1915.) PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 23
arrested annually exceed 70,000, of whom more than 7,000 are women;
and of the whole number almost 50,000, including more than 4,000
women, are intoxicated. It cannot be doubted, moreover, that if
the law were obeyed accoriling to its terms it would require that the
36,000 men transferred annually to the City Prison to await arraign-
ment in court or a release by probation officers, and the 6,000 women
transferred to the House of Detention for women for like purposes,
though pre\'iously examined at the station houses, should again be
examined when received at those establishments, which officially
are " lockups."
If the act were limited to "visible" injuries the examination would
be confined to parts of the body usually uncovered, to the face and
hands as a rule. Injuries to the face and hands as found on prisoners
are almost always trivial, such as scratches, bruises ::nd black eyes;
it is concealed injuries, broken bones, fractured skulls and the like
which are of real importance, and such injuries arc disclosed, in so far
as the}- can be disclosed without medical examination, by the general
appearance or the complaints of the prisoner. It b because of such
disclosures largely, as well as for visible injuries, that calls for physi-
cians to attend sick or injured prisoners and other persons are made
by the Boston police almost three thousantl times a year.
The examination of the entire body of each prisoner, even if it were
possible for the officers in charge of tiie station houses and lockups
to perform such a task, would create a condition of disorder and in-
decencj' which would be preposterous. But to confine examinations
to the "visible" parts, besides being apparently contrarj' to the inten-
tion of the Legislature, would result in the preparation by nonmedical
police officers, and the accumulation at headquarters annually, of thou-
sands of reports which would be of no benefit to the pubUc or to the
police department.
It has been my practice to advise the department from time to
time as to the manner in which the provisions of new statutes or
ordinances affecting police administration should be carried out; but
in this case, not knowing what to advise, I can do no more than give
notice of the passage of the act, with its accompanj-ing legal penalty
for failure to obej*.
Because of the situation disclosed in tlie foregoing order
the Legislature amended chapter 2.30 by the passage of
chapter 72S, the practical effect of which was to remove
certain minor objections and to provide tiiat "the require-
ment that the prisoner be examined shall not be deemed to
compel the removal of clothes."
In accordance with the amended statute full instructions
were issued to the Boston police department, together with
24 POLICE COMMISSIONER. (Jan.
printed fcrms f()r rcpfirts calling for tlic n-nmc, age, residence
and offence of the prisoner found to he injured; the name of
the arresting officer, with the date and hour of arrest; the
date anil hour of examination; the name of the piiysician
calietl, if any, witii the time of the call and the time of the
respon:<e; the nature of the injury; and the disposition made
of the prisoner.
Tliis system of reiKirts has been in operation seventeen
full months, from July 1, 1913, to Nov. :5(), 1914, and the
whc.Ie number of reports made in that time has been 7,G76.
In compliance with the apparent intent of the statute, these
7,G70 reports have Ijeen received and read by the com-
missioner and filed under his direction. I believe that they
have added nothinp to the safety of prisoners or to the
metiical attention which they received, both of which had
already been fully pmvitled for in the long-established rules
rif the department. I may say, further, that I have no
knowledge of a single instance in which a report has been of
any servic-e to tlie j)ublic or to the polic-e. If the police de-
partments throughout the .State are obeying the mandate of
this statute as carefully as it is obeyed in Boston, it is un-
doubte<lly true that from ten thousand to fifteen thousand
reports of the character indicated arc annually i)repared, read
and filed.
Entering further into the detail of the subject, it may be
said that in October, 1914, taken as a sample month for close
analysis, reports of injuries were made as to 452 arrested
persons. Of those, 42G were men, 2G women; 269 were
residents of Boston, 1S.3 nonresidents. The offences charged
against these persons were as follows: —
Intoxication, 432
Assault and bjittcrj", 10
Assault and baltcrj- with intent to kill 2
Assault and batter)' with dangerous weapons or implement, . 2
Breaking and entering buildings, 2
Assault on police officer, 1
Larceny, 1
Violating peddling law, 1
DcUnquent, 1
Total 452
1915.] PUBLIC DOCmiEXT — No. 49. 25
It will be seen that of the prisoners reported with injuries,
95.57 per cent, were arrested in a condition of intoxication,
which accounted in almost all cases for their mishaps.
The injuries found upon these 452 persons, in so far as they
can be classified, were as follows: —
Cuts, scratches, abrasions, contusions of face, .... 323
The same as to otiicr parts of head, 64
Old injuries not fully healed, 42
Cuts on arms, legs, hands, back, . 14
Fracture of nose 5
Fracture of ankle, 2
Fracture of arm, 1
.\nkle sprained, 1
Total 452
Information as to the causes of the injuries is obtained by
observation on the part of the arresting officers when present,
through inquiries made by them of bystanders, or from the
statements of the arrested persons; but as nearly 96 per
cent, of the persons arrested with injuries are intoxicated,
clear accounts from them can hardly be expected. The
causes of the injuries, as given in the reports, were as fol-
lows: —
Old Injuries, causes of no immediate interest, 42
Causes not ascertained, prisoners refusing or unable to explain, 112
Fell in streets and other public places, 168
Street fights, 55
Family fights, 14
Fell in station houses, esjjeciaUj' cells and In patrol wagons, 1 1

Fell through windows, breaking glass, 3
Fell upon bottles carried upon the person, 2
Miscellaneous accidents, 7
Miscellaneous assaults, 6
In resisting arrest, 13
Total, 452
Of the 13 men who were injured while resisting arrest, 5
were struck with clubs by policemen, who submitted written
reports, under the department rule long in force. There was
2G POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
DO serious injury. One of the men had been caught in the
act of breakiiij; and entering a building, .\iiother was one of
five men who had beaten a police officer, for wliich lie was
sentenced to si.v months* imprisonment. The sixth man fell
and injured his nose. The seventh bit the hand of a j)olice
officer, wlio tlicreupon struck him with his other hand, in-
fiicting a cut in the face. The eighth received a slight sprain
in a struggle in which <iffic-cr and prisoner fell to the ground.
The ninth and tenth fell in struggling and cut their faces.
The eleventh received abrasioos of the skin through the use
of "twisters." The twelfth struck a police officer with a
dub, received in return a cut on the face, and the officer went
to a ht)spital. The thirteenth bletl at the nose as a result of
his struggle.
In only three cases did prisoners brought to station houses
make statements as to the causes of tlieir injuries which
were in the nature of complaints against polic-emen. .\ man
arrested for assault and batter>- and a man and a woman
arretted for lirunkenness assertwl that their injuries, which
consisted of slight cuts or scratches, had been c-aused by the
arresting officers. The arresting officers stated that the
injuries were upon those j)ersons when they were found by
the police. In no case did the prisoner renew the complaint
when sobered or afterwards.
"Police Abuse."
Legislation such as the >tatute which requires that all
injuries found on prisoners >hall be reported is based on two
erroneous theories. BilLs of that ciiaracter have been pro-
pcserl in varying forms and considerable numbers at the
two or three most rec-ent .sessions of the Legislature; and
though I have official knowIe<lge to the contrarj- as affecting
at least three of the pn>ponents, I shall assume that all bills
were presented for humanitarian reasons, without private
feeling again>t the policic or a desire to secure the benefit of
personal publicity.
The first errt)neous thef)r>- is that the police are guilty of
wanton abuse of citizens; the second is that such abuse, if
existent, can be stopped by statute. The truth is that the
character of the men who compose a police force, the rules
1915.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 27
by which they are governed, and, above all, the spirit per-
vading the whole police body are the only means by which
the security of citizens from police abuse can be guaranteed.
The rules of the Boston police department have carried
for eight years six printed pages of instructions to police
officers as to the use of revolvers and clubs, and the con-
ditions under which force may be employed. Those in-
structions have been open to the public from the beginning;
and as they have not been criticized, it is fair to assume that
they prescribe a line of conduct on the part of police officers
which secures the protection of citizens as well as the mainte-
nance of the dignity of the law! All instances of police use
of revolvers with fatal results in the past eight years have
been submitted to the courts, and such use has been justi-
fied. In two cases police officers were brought to trial for
fatal shooting, and in both cases they were acquitted by
juries in accordance with charges by the presiding justices,
which not only sustained the department rule as to the use
of revolvers, but went even further in declaring the lawful
right of action by police officers.
\\'hether or not the Boston police have obeyed those rules
is a question which can be fairly tested. In the past eight
years about half a million arrests have been made in Boston,
not counting cases in which juveniles or adults were merely
summoned to court. These arrests were made by about
1,500 policemen on duty at all hours of the day and night,
armed with clubs and loaded revolvers. Of the men arrested
more than half were drunk, and in thousands of cases violent
and abusive; and a large percentage of all persons arrested
were dangerous criminals.
As a consequence of these arrests, and of the relations of
the police with the whole population, two policemen have
been convicted of unjustifiable assaults and have been dis-
charged from the department; and two others have been
discharged for offences believed to have been the outgrowth
of an assault upon a prisoner. In none of these cases was a
club, revolver or other weapon used, and in all instances the
acts of the policemen resulted from outbursts of temper pro-
voked by abusive language.
It may be said that this remarkable record is due to
2S POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
leniency on tlic part of the department towards such of-
fenders, that a citizen who is assaulted hy a policeman cannot
secure justice from the police authorities; on the contrarj',
no other ofTencc is pursued more rigorously or punished more
severely. But U) this suggestion there is a perfect answer in
addition to the denial. A citizen who is assaulted by a
policeman has a right to go to the courts for redress, either
with a criminal complaint for assault or with a civil suit for
damages. But in eight years n(» Boston policeman has been
convicted in any criminal court of assault or any other form
of violence committed upon a citizen, and no Boston police-
man has paid a <lollar in civil damages by order of a court
for any act of virdence committed by him within those eight
years. There have been a few instances, perhaps eight or
ten, in which fKilicemen have paid small sums in settlement
of cases involving technical assault or unlawful arrest, but
not actual bodily injury- to the piaintifTs.
What is the other side of the case? In eight years four
policemen have Ijeen shot dead by criminals and a dozen
have been cripj)Ied for life by shooting or other violence. In
the same perifnl .V»0 persons, not counting those who escaped,
have been arreste*! for assaulting pr>licemen, and 222 police-
men while arresting criminals, and ftS other policemen while
pursuing criminals have been injured to such an extent as to
cause them to \<rse 0,047 days from duty. No account is
made of the innumerable cases in which the injuries did not
necessitate absence from duty.
Such is the record of eight years as between the individual
citizen and the individual policeman, with the policeman
possessing the legal as well as the moral right, often of
necessity exercised, to use all neetled force in effecting an
arrest and overcoming resistance.
The notion, for it deserves no more dignified designation,
that prisoners or other citizens are maltreated by the Boston
police, owes its exbtcnce to tradition, to the popular reading
of works of fiction, to the news reports from other cities
which readers mistakenly apply to Boston, to the "third de-
gree" dramas and similar nonsense presented by theatres and
moving-picture houses, and especially to the circumstance

that some of our own daily newspapers are quick to print
and enlarge upon charges of police violence which simple
investigation proves to be groundless.
Police Salaries.
Certain increases in the rates of payment to Boston police
officers became a subject of public discussion in March and
April, 1914. Hb honor the mayor requested the police
commissioner in a personal interview to concur with him in
rescinding all increases granted to officers of rank in 1913
and 1914, the increased maximum granted to patrolmen to be
allowed to stand. To this request the police commissioner
declined to accede, on the ground that the injury' to the
morale of the department would be much greater than could
be balanced by the comparatively small percentage of sav-
ing.
His honor thereupon, by agreement, sent to the police
commissioner a written communication, to which a reply in
form was made, but without change in the result.
Following this correspondence a bill was presented to the
Legislature pro\nding that the mayor should have the power,
without the concurrence of the police commissioner, to reduce
police salaries to the rates in effect before October, 1913.
The time for the admission of new business, except under
suspension of the rules having expired, the Legislature de-
clined to admit the bill. It is proper to say that the police
commissioner took no action and expressed no opinion as to
the bill.
In the meantime the Boston Finance Commission had
begun an investigation, which resulted in a report as fol-
lows: —
BOSTO:* FlXANXE COMMISSIOX,
410-416 Themo.nt Bviloi.nc, Boston, April 8, 1914.
Hon- J.UIES AI. CrRLET, Mayor.
Sir: — The Finance Commission submits the following report as
a result of its investigation into the increases in salaries of the police,
fire and penal institutions departments during the final two j'cars of
the last administration.
The first increases in the police and fire departments were voted
in Ma}-, 1912, and the last increases took effect Jan. 16, 1914, seventeen
30 I'OLICK COMMISSIONER. (Jan.
days Ijt-forc tlic end of tlic last administration. The increa.>H; in the
penal in-stitutions department was made in .\ugust, 101.3.
TTic Finance Commission doc-s not pas.s at this time ufxjn whether
the increases arc warranted. It has coasidered only the time when
the incTca.sos wore made and the methods used in obtaining them.
The Police Department.
1. The Police Commissioner's Responsibility to the City. — Under
the Acts of lOOC, eliaptcr 291, the pay of the polio* force shall not
be incTea.-io<l or diminished except by concurrent action of the mayor
aikl the ptjlice conimis.-'ioncr. The [Kdicc commissioner, at the public
hearing.^ pvcn before the Finance Commission, stated that in his
opinion it was the duty of the mayor to decide whether the city was
able to pay the increases asked for, and his to acquiesce, provided the
men were entitled to it and discipline was not impaired. On the ques-
tioa of decreasing pay, however, he did not feel tliat lie should be
cotttrt>Ile<l by the mayor's statement of the city's finances, but must
miinly be governed by tiie efTect of such a change upon the morale of
the department.
2. Reinining Counsel. — In order to obtain increases in salar>' the
mtmbers of the police department retained a bwj-cr to represent them
before the mayor and the police commissioner. In 1912 they paid
for his .senices 89,44.3. He testified that in 1913 he was to receive
not ka than the same amount. In all he was paid, or expected to be
pail, for the two increases not less tlian $lS,5vS6. It is fair to conclude
frtun the other testimony given before the commission that even laiger
remimtration was expected.
The police commissioner testified that he did not object to the
cmpkl>^nent of couasel by the men, and was not especially concerned
about the amount of the fee.
The services rendered by the lawyer consisted in the main of urging
the tl^m mayor and the police commi:i<ioner to do that which they
had brjth .'■aid woulil Ik; done when financial conditions would allow
it. It appears tliat neither the commissioner nor the then mayor
needed to be convinced that the salaries in the police department
should be raised.
In the absence of knowledge to the contr3r>', or facts creating
reasonable grounds for l)elieving the contrarj% it would be fair to
beBcve that the commissioner had a right to assume that the mayor,
as chit-f financial officer of the city, would not have recommended the
increases, or concurred in the order establishing them, if he had not
prtvioa-Iy satisfied himself that the city would be able to pro\nde
neeessarj' funds in accordance with existing statutory- requirements.
If, boirever, the police commissioner had knowledge or notice that
the city would be unable to provide for the increases in the police de-
partment without impairing the efficiency of other branches of the
1915.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 31
city's senice, or that the proposed increases were unnecessary or
improper under the circumstances, it was his duty to refuse to concur.
The Finance Commission finds that the last increase in the poUce
department, that of Januarj', 1914, appears to have been based on
nothing more than a small unappropriated balance, sufficient to
pay the increases in salaries for the remaining days of the former
mayor's administration. The city's ability to pay the increase for
these few days has been made the basis for an increase which must
be borne bj' the present administration. In the opinion of the Finance
Commission an appropriation made unilcr the above conditions should
have been notice to the police comniissioncr, and it was his duty
under the law to liave refused to concur with the former mayor, and
to suggest that the question of increases should go over and be settled
by the incoming administration.
^Miile there may be occasions when the men of the pwlice depart-
ment should employ counsel before the Legislature, and in other
special instances, the Finance Conmiission believes that the police
conmiissioner is in error (b allow attorneys to appear before him on
questions like increases of pay, or other matters of a purelj' depart-
mental nature. The law compels publicitj' when attomej's apjjear
before the Legislature. They must register and later state the com-
pensation they receive. The wisdom of this is apparent. Publicity
prevents fees from being of such a size as would cause just grounds
for suspicion as to the compensation not being properly used. The
emplojTncnt of counsel who are paid large fees for explaining to a
mayor and a f)olice conmiissioner well-knouTi facts, such as the high
cost of living, is dcmoraUzing to discipline, and may lead to grave
financial abuses.
It cannot be said that the scr\-ices given in securing an Increase
of salary where no involved legal question was to be decided required
the paj-mcnt or promise of SIS,SS6 or more.
Some idea of the demoralizing effect of such means for obtaining
salarj- increases may be had from the records of Jan. 11, 1914, of the
Boston Social Club, comiX)scd of the patrolmen of the police depart-
ment. At this meeting one of the members thanked his associates for
their efforts in the campaign for the increase of salaries, and stated
that the then mayor was their "staunch and true friend," and urged
all the members to vote at the coming election, "in order to show their
strength at the polls."
The Finance Commission commends the members of the police
department for the frankness with wliich thej* gave their testimony.
The Fire Dcpartmcnl.
1. The Altitude of the Fire Commissioner. — The former fire com-
missioner had no concurrent power of checking the salar>' increases,
as liad the police commissioner. In liis testimony he stated that the
32 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
cniploynifiit of counstl to obtain increases in salarj* was unneccs-san',
and that lie so advised the members of the force. The increases in
Januarj', 1914, were made nith only a few days left of the outgoing
administration, but he believed they could be made within the appro-
priation. To accomplish this he had to defer improvements which
he previously had intended to make. He knew of the emplojinent
of counsel and did not object.
2. Retaining Countel. — Counsel was employeil by the firemen
through the Russell Fire Club, and by the officers throuph the Officers'
Club. He was paid in all SC,125. He stated that he did other work
for the men in the department, such as adjusting difficulties between
the fire commissioner and the men, and presenting grievances and
complaints in behalf of the members of the club. In the incrcasca
obtained in January-, 1914, just before the close of the last adminis-
tration, no coun-sel was employed.
The officers of the fire department hired counsel on or about .Vpril
20, 1912, and paid liim S-3,325 for obtaining their increase, which was
recommended by the then mayor three days after the counsel was
employed. The counsel stated that he had been working for the
officers for some time, and tliat it was tacitly understood that he
would be paid by them.
3. Demoralization in Oie Department. — Notwithstanding the much
smaller pajTnents for legal services in connection with salary increases
in the fire department than in the police department, there was e\i-
dence of more demoralization witliin the lire department.
One fact which strongly illustrates this is the action of the Russell
Fire Club, composed of privates of the fire department. In their
records of Jan. 13, 1910, was found a motion to the effect tliat for
the " affair" in charge of one of the members the sum of S400 be paid
to that member. That this appropriation of S400 did not go through
was solely due to the refusal of the president to sign the cheque unless
he knew to whom and for what purpose the money eventually was to
be paid. The commission finds evidence to wanant the belief that
the S400 was to Ix; used improperly to obtain the interest of some
unknown jx^rson to have an ordinance enacted which would give
e.^tra time for meals to the members of the fire department. Because
the books of account were burned and the witnesses made untruthful
statements or testified, "I forget," "I don't remember," or "I do not
recall," the commission is forced to believe that the "affair" which
was to cost S400 was apparently in direct violation of law.
In the opinion of the Finance Commission the emplojTnent of
counsel by the men in the fire department for increases in salaries
is as much to be avoided as is similar emplojinent in the police depart-
ment. The commission is convinced that the attempt to pay S400
for unknown senices by the Russell Fire CTub should be further
investigated by the present fire commissioner, and also by the police
1915.] PUBLIC DOCU:\IEXT — No. 49. 33
commissioner, as one of the men who testified is at present connected
with the police department.
The testimony of the varioas persons, members of the fire and the
police departments, affected is hereto armexed and made a part of this
report, for the guidance of the fire commissioner and the police com-
missioner.
The Finance Commission lias refrained from making any recom-
mendation as to what action should be taken bj* these officials, believ-
ing that the evidence is so con\nncing that it speaks for itself. .\s
compared with the frankness of certain members of the Russell Fire
Club, notably the president and the secretarj' of the club in 1910,
the remarkable forgetfulness of those actually in charge of the -SlOO
"affair" leaves a strong impression that their testimony was untruthful.
The Penal Institutions Department.
1. Retaining Counsel. — The officers of the penal institutions
department, following the example of the police and fire departments,
employed counsel who received a retainer of SlOO and an agreement
to paj' him the first month's increase, which would have amounted
to S757 more. The counsel waited on the mayor, and later a graded
system of salaries was instituted. Immediately afterwards certain
indi\idual officers received additional increases of pay outside of the
graded scale. The men who agreed to pay their first month's increase
refused to do so, with the exception of four, claiming that their increases
had been received through the influence of their union, rather than
through the lawyer employed.
2. Conelusions of the Commission as to the Penal Institutions De-
partment. — The employment of counsel by the jjenal institutions
department should be avoided, as in the case of other departments.
The increase of the indi\ndual salaries of certain men after the graded
increases had been granted was indefensible from an executive point
of \new, and seems to have had an unsettling effect upon the depart-
ment as a whole. '
^^'hile the members of the police, fire and penal institutions depart-
ments are to be criticized for retaining counsel and agreeing to pay
such large fees in purely departmental matters, it b to be said in
their justification that the emploj-mcnt of counsel was known to the
then mayor and the heads of their respective departments, and that
these officials did not object.
Recommendatiojis.
The commission recommends: —
1. That increases of salary should be considered at the beginning
of the fiscal year, and should be pro\ided for in the budget, and not
be made a matter of maneuvering at the close of one administration
34 rOLICK COM.MISSIONEIl. [Jan.
and close to the end of a fiscal year, so as to embarrass the succeeding
administration.
2. That the effect of ui^ing out.«idc influence, as shomi in the furtive
and apparently unlawful means of cfTeeting changes in the attempted
approi)riation of SJOO liy the Ras-^ell Fire Club of the fire department
for the purixise of changing the meal hours. .«houlil lie rrferre<J to the
fire and |Kjlice commissioners for further inquin,- ami for action on
their part.
.3. That tlie mayor take such action as is neces.sar>- to prevent the
emploxinent of counsel in the future on matters tliat arc witliin the
province of the mayor and the heads of (le|>artmcnts on one side,
and the men on the other, to settle, e.\ce])t in the case of hearings on
charges, etc.
4. That rule .'). paragraph .3, of the Police Department Regulations,
which states that "McmlxTs of t'lc force desiring promotion, transfers
or a.ssigmnents to particular duties arc free to make their desires
known through the proixr channels; and at suitable times members
in person will Ijc received by the commissioner at his office. But should
a meniljcr caasc a |H-rson not his superior in the force to intervene or
to make representation in his Ix'half to the commissioner or to any
superior officer, ]Krsonally, or by letter, or by ix'tiiion, he shall be
deemed guilty of conduct uiilx-coming an officer,'' Ijc so amended as
to prevent the employment of counsel in deiKirtmental matters, be-
tween the mayor, the [xjlice conmii.«sioner and the nu-mbers of the
force.
5. That in all departments a rule, whether existing now or not,
permitting the men to intcr\-icw the head of the department on any
question of grievance should Ix; maile a reality. Grievance committees
of the men and the men individually should be welc-ome at all times
to lay their retjuesls and grievances before the heads of the several
departments and the mayor.
Resix-ctfuUy submitted.
The Fi.naxce Commissiox,
By JoH.v R. Mlhphv,
Chairman.
The forcgoinj; report wa.s made public through the news-
papers and by other means. The police commissioner pub-
lished no reply, but filed officially certain comments on the
report of the Finance Commission which, now that the
matter has ceased to be one of active controversy, he believes
should be made part of the accessible records of the police
department. Tiie comments were as follows: —
1915.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — Xo. 49. 35
Comment by the Police Commissioner for the Citt of Boston
ON" A Report of the Fixanxe Commission dated April 8,
1914.
This investigation was first heard of pubHcly after an order had been
passed by the city council, Jan. 22, 1914, making inquiry of the fire
commissioner and the [wlicc commissioner as to whether or not the
members of those departments had been "assessed directly or indi-
rectly lor campaign funds in belialf of any candidate for office at the
municipal election held in this city on Jan. 13, 1914." The investi-
gation was further stimulated bj' newspaper reports suggested by the
order. The fire conmiissioner and the police commissioner replied in
writing that thej' had no reason to believe that such an assessment
had been made or attempted. Thereupon the question of poUtical
assessments, though apparently the original incentive to investigation,
disappeared from the case, and is not mentioned in the repwrt of
April 8.
The political assessment rumor was replaced by a surmise printed
in the newspapers, though othennse of unknown origin, to the eflfect
that large fees paid to attorneys for preparing and presenting the
claims of the firemen and poUccmen for salarj* increases had been
used corruptly to further that purpose. Inquiry as to the employ-
ment of attorneys constituted a large part of the investigation, but
ultimately the matter slmink to the small dimensions of a recom-
mendation which will be considered later. The shrinkage was caused
by lancontradicted testimony that the employment of counsel had been
without concealment, had Iwcn knowni from the beginning to the
officials clothed with authority in the matter of salaries, and for a long
time to the public through the newspapers and to the Finance Com-
mission; by the candid testimony of the persons who paid and those
who received the fees; by the absence of even an attempt to show
that contributions had been made under coercion of any kind; and
by the reminder to the Finance Commission that inasmuch as the
authority to raise salaries was exclusively in the hands of the mayor
and the police commissioner, no corrupt use of money could have been
possible except to bribe one or both. It was shown in the case of the
policemen, to whose attorney the largest fee was paid, that the bene-
ficiaries numbered approximately 1,200; that a small contribution
from each would make a large aggregate; and that in the law as in
some other professions the amount of a fee is often determined, not
by the work or even by the knowledge required, but by the benefits
secured and the ability of the clients to pay.
At the public hearing an attempt was made to discredit the emploj--
ment of attorneys by pointing to the fact that no legal question was
involved in the movement for increased salaries. The Finance Com-
mission was thereuix)!! reminded that although three of its members
36 rOLICE COMMISSIONER. (Jan.
TTOrc lawyers, and tLough I lie commission had [x^mianont counsel,
an attorney of L%h jianding liad been s|xtially retained to con/Juct
the investigation, ahbough it involved no legal question whate^■e^.
It was pointcfl ocn iLat his enlplo^^nent was doubtless due, as in the
ca5e of the firt-mea ai»l the ]X)licemen, to the fact tliat a legal training,
even in the ab«*nf* of legal questions, fits a man peculiarly for the
preparation and presentation of causes.
The matter (A poEtical assessments ha\ing disappearetl, the sug-
gestion of corrupt tt« of money having lx<-n rhomi to be afwurd, and
the objection to iht «npIo.\Tiient of attorneys having shrunk to small
proportions, ruir aaat^rial was fumishcil to the Finance Commission
March 5, throusL i r«-quf->t made by the pres<-nt mayor that the police
commissioner tlwcald concur with him in re<lucing the salaries of all
officers of rank to tL*- rates in force Ix'fore the increases of 1913 and
1914. .\s it wi5 uA proposed that the new ma.vimum of salaries of
patrolmen shouW k<? Pfiluced, and as the increase in their case ha*! been
procured by the iame- means, and had been allowed on the same date
aa in the case iJ the officers of rank, even.- areiiment for reiluction
l>as<:-d on eithtT '< llrtre considerations fell to the ground. Nothing
remained cxcep* tLe plea that the money to be paid to the officers of
rank — less than coe-ihird of the whole amount of the recent increases
— was needed {*jr other departments. The police commisioner's
first answer to tL» mayor was as follows: —
The ftalutc prrrriinn that the pay of the mtinbcrs of the police force thai!
not tic incrcarol oc "frnJni-hcd except by the concurrent action of the mayor
and the police c/a^siif^iai-T. In all increases I have accepted the itidi^nirat
of the m.iyor in f^Cirtt M the time on the question of the ability of the city to
p^y. and nt the tatut laae have seen to it a.« my particular duty that the effi-
ri#-nry of the focnt »^j nr^t injured by unwise adju>tmcnt3 as betwem the
f*veral grades in tte sM-rjre. No propo!alioD for an increase irhirfa would
have injured the effi-ifsry '>f 'he department — and some were at dnte* pro-
poM.fl — would har^- be*a concurred in by me. All salaries having been estab-
IL-he<l, the questioQ zryw prevnted to me is whether or not they may be rwlured,
as alTecting atfoox SCO officers of rank, without injury to the efficieorjr (A the
department. I am tX tie opinion that serious injury would follow io a police
service which can t* aafasured neither by hours t>or by \-isible resalts. which
depends for its eCwrCTtseas largely upon the energy and ical of the tum whom
it employs. I b*6e-re tlat the saving of about one and a half per cent. o( the
total annual cxpexi&sre of the department which the proposed reducticzi would
effect would be a arrois which the department could not afford to make. I
feel therefore that I fTr.Tr>t concur in the proposed reductions, much as I cboold
<le>ire to assist tlvt may-r.
In a letter to tie police commissioner March 6, the ntiyor gare in
great detail his re±£<!jQS for requesting concurrence in the proposed
reductions, and tLe pcGce commissioner replied in like detaiL Neither
k-tter has been nstde public, though the police commissioner would
have welcomed tLe pablication.
The Finance Coocsmission in the meantime had summooed and
1915.] PUBLIC DOCOIENT — Xo. 49. 37
privately examined the books of the Russell Fire Qub and of the
Boston Social Club, composed respectively of privates of the fire de-
partment and patrolmen of the police dep>artment. Its attorneys
had also obtained from the police commissioner a full statement of
his information on the subject, together with copies of all documents
in his possession relating to the continuous efforts of the pwlicemen
from 1910 to date to secure increases in their sabries. The witnesses
were thereupon examined at a series of ojjen hearings, and the informa-
tion which reached the public was such only as might be given by frag-
mentarj' newspaper reports in which every incident that could serve
to cast suspicion upon anj' man or bodj- of men was made the subject
of large display.
The Finance Commission's report of April S followed, and from
this point on I shall deal only with matters affecting the police. It is
proper to call attention to the fact that tlie commission disclaims
consideration of the merit of the increases, and that it "commends
the members of the police department for the frankness with which
they gave their testimony." There was no reason why they should
not have been frank; they had nothing to conceal.
The Finance Commission makes five recommendations which may
fairly be taken as representing the net return from the investigation.
They are given as follows, with conmicnt attached: —
First Recommendation. — '"That increases of salar>" should be con-
sidered at the beginning of the fiscal year, and should be pro\'ided for
in the budget, and not be made a matter of maneuvering at the close
of one administration and close to the end of a fiscal year, so as to
embarrass the succeeding administration."'
Comment on First Recommendation. — It will be observed that the
commission here recommends that "increases of salary should be
considered at the beginning of the fiscal year," and that it also recom-
mends that they should not be considered "close to the end of a fiscal
year." I submit that consideration which is ^ven "close to the end
of a fiscal year" is given also at the beginning of the next succeeding
fiscal j'car. For cxami^le, the increases in the police department to
which the commission particulariy objects look effect Jan. 16, 1914;
the new fiscal year began February 1; the city budget was submitted
to the city council March 3; its consideration was finished April 22,
and it was approved by the mayor April 23, It appears, therefore,
that the increased payments falling within the old fiscal year were
provided for in the unexi>ended balance of the police appropriation
for that year, and that officials charged with the duty of making ap-
propriations for the new fiscal year were informed as to the increases
before entering upon any part of their work, and three months before
their work was finished. \Miat, then, is the bearing of the recom-
mendation? Perhaps it is to be found in the final sentence, but with
any attempt "to embarrass the succeeding administration" the police
commissioner has no concern, personal or official. .-Vs a State officer,

1915.1 PUBLIC DOCOIEXT — No. 49. 39
In any event, the recommendation here made by the commission
is without practical effect in so far as the police department is con-
cerned, for the members of the force after ha\-ing waited twenty-five
yeais for increased salaries, after ha\-ing kept their claim continuously
for four years before the mayor, and after having had it granted in
two instalments, are not likely to be successful applicants for further I
increase in the next twenty-five years. The continuous effort and '
the substantial acquiescence of the mayor early in 191.3, which were ;
matters of evidence presented publicly to the commission, were wholly
ignoretl in its findings, in order, seemingly, that it might be made to
appear that the increase, though really timed to take actual effect in
accordance with the condition of the existing appropriation, was
ordered with the intent " to embarrass the succeeding administration."
Second Recommendation. — "Tliat the effect of using outside influ-
ence, as shown in the furtive and apparently unlawful means of effect-
ing changes in the attempted appropriation of -SlOO by the Russell
Fire Club of the fire department for the pury)osc of changing meal
hours, should be referred to the fire and police commissioners for
further inquin,- and for action on their part."
Commcnl on Second Recommendation. — The investigators for the
commissionfound in the books of the Russell Fire Club, an unofficial
organization composed of privates in the Boston fire department,
after a search reaching back to IttOS, an entr>- which indicated that
.?400 was voted to one of the directors for a purpose not specified.
They found, also, that the vote was almost immediately rescinded and
that the money was not paid. It is upon this discover}" tliat an extended
examination of firemen was based, pnxlucing as one result fifty pages
of testimony. The firemen mentionctl denied all remembrance of the
incident, and it is uix)n this "attempted appropriation of $400" four
years ago by the fire club that recommendation No. 2 is based. The
police commissioner is brought into the matter l)ocause the director to
whom the money was not paid was appointed three years ago as a i
patrolman in the jiolicc department on certification of the Civil Service '
Commission.
The Finance Commission refers this matter to the police commis-
sioner "for further inquir>' and for action." I liave no intention of
adding to the volume of trivialities which this incident has already
produced. The legal members of the commission and the two at-
torneys employed as counsel must know that not even a charge has
been made against tliis man; that he is merely suspected by them of
having intended four years ago to use the money, which was not paid
to him, for the purpose of influencing a person unknown to assist in
securing for firemen more time for meals; that whatever happened
antedated by a year his appointment to the police department; and
that the civil service laws provide that a policeman, in common with
other public employees whom those laws protect, "shall hold such
office or emploj-ment and shall not be removed therefrom, lowered in
40 POLICE COMMISSION'KR. [Jan.
rank or compensation, or suspended, or, ^rh^lrHJt his consent, trans-
ferred from sucli office or employment to any other except for just
cause and for reasons given s|KcificaUy in iriting;" and furthermore,
that "the jx-rson souglit to Ix; remove<l, sit^-tvlc»l, lowered or trans-
ferred shall 1)0 notified of the proposo<l action and sliall be furnished
with a copy of the reasons reciuired to lx> piven hy .-cction 1, and shall,
if he so ref|uests in writing, l>c given a puWwr l*^ring, and be allowed
to answer the cliarges preferred against him cither personally or by
counsel.''
Thin] and Fourth Rccomiiiciulallonf. — '•That the mayor take such
action as is necessar\' to prevent the emptoxiwni of counsel in the
future on matters that arc within the provinre of the mayor and the
heads of departments on one side, and the in*-n on the other, to settle,
except in the case of hearings on cljirges," etc.
"That rule ii. paragraph 3, of the Police- Department Regulations,
which states that 'MemlK-rs of the force itstrirt* promotion, transfers
cr assignments to particular duties are free to aukc their desires known
through the proi>er channels; and at suita^ifc- times memlx»rs in person
will be received by the commissioner at his office; but should a mem-
ber cause a [lerson not his sui)erior in the focre to intenenc or to make
representation in his behalf to the comniisirjonfr or to any superior
officer, personally, or by letter, or by petition, he .-hall Ijc deemed guilty
ct conduct unlxK-oming an officer,' \ye so arnen^ie^l as to prevent the
emploNTiient of coun.<el in departmental niatten', between the mayor,
ihe police conmiissioner and the members ot the force.''
Comment on Third and Fourth Recomnu'nd/jiion.f. — These recom-
mendations advise the n>ayor in the first iitrCin/*, and the police com-
missioner in the second, "to prevent the «np!<-)\Tiicnt of counsel in
departmental matters" of a certain character. The mayor «t11 choose
his own course; but as mayors for many yi«xs and up to the present
lime have often and freely reccive<l and ne-^tbted with business
agents, committees, and walking delegates not employed by the
city but represontitig unions of city employets, the action ad\ised by
the Finance Commission would require e'liher that mayors hereafter
should discontinue that practice or shoulil announce that members
of the Bar only were excluded from ser\-ice is .-Hjfh representatives.
The police conmiissioner has always rfceived with civility and
attention, and will continue so to receive, any respectable person,
whatever his profession or occupation, r^^;cE~#:nting voluntarily or
by request any interest of the ix)lice department or of its memlx-rs as
a body. I know of no reason, and sliall not i:r«-pt the Finance Com-
mission's advice as such reason, why policemen should be debarred
from the right e.\ercised by all Ixxlies of prh'ate employees — and
in so far as I am aware, by all bodies of empiortts in the ser\"icc of the
city of Boston — to engage iktsous :-killeil in such work, whether
attorneys or other agents, to prepare and pcer**it to the Legislature,
the city council or any other controlling aathority the reasons for
1915.] PUBLIC DOCLTMEXT — No. 49. 41
urging particular claims. The question of the right of private employees
to be represented by attornej's and other agents not dependent upon
the emploj-ers whom they approacii has been decided aflSrmatively
in Boston within the past few years, and the results have left no doubt
as to the character of legal, pubhc and legislative opinion with refer-
ence thereto. A body of public employees cannot be logically or
permanently refused the same right of representation before public
officials temporarily in authority over them. These are times of
organization and federation among public as well as private employees,
in which a police commissioner, so timid and shortsighted as to be
capable of taking the course advised by the Finance Commission in
more than one of its recommendations, might easily create a condition
in the police department which better men following him in the same
oflBce would be unable to remedy.
Fifth Recommendation. — "That in all departments a rule, whether
existing now or not, permitting the men to interview the head of the
department on any question of grievance, should be made a reality.
Grievance committees of the men and the men indi\idually should be
welcome at all times to laj- their requests and grievances before the
heads of the several departments and the maj-or."
Comment on Fifth Recominendaiion. — In so far as the pohce depart-
ment is concerned this recommendation is superfluous. All policemen
and employees who ask to see the poUce commissioner are received
by him with courtesy and in a helpful spirit. It is both the rule and
the practice, and in the past eight years hundreds of members of the
department have discussed privately with the commissioner their
troubles and their aspirations.
The recommendations of the Finance Commission ha\Tng been
considered, I feel that I ought to revert to the closing paragraph of
its general observations on the emplojTuent of attorneys, which is
as follows: —
Some idea of the demoralizing effect of such means for obtaining salary-
increases may be had from the records of Jan. 11, 1914, of the Boston Social
Club, composed of patrolmen of the police department. At this meeting one
of the members thanked his associates for their efforts in the campaign for the
increase of salaries, and stated that the then mayor was their "staunch and
true friend," and urged all the members to vote at the coming election, '"in order
to show their strength at the polls."
It will be noted that tliis entry represents not a vote of the club or
even a committee of the club; it is an exuberant cjcpression of grati-
tude bj- "one of the members," which the secretary included in liis
minutes. The reference is to a citizen who was not a candidate for
anj- office at the coming election, and the e.xprcssed desire that all
members should vote was in conformity witK the rule of the police
department, which specifies voting at primaries and elections as the
only form of poUtical activity permitted to the police. The attomei's
42 POLICE COMMISSIONER. (Jan.
and investigators of the commission examined the books of this club
for a .fries of years; and tliisentn', the only one found by them which
could Ix' turned to their uses, is set uj) as if it were an example among
many which would give "some idea of the demoralizing effect of such
roeaa-.'' I fear that the Finance Commission faile<l to realize the
insignificance of the incident, to understand tlie force of the word
"demoralizing," or to appreciate the injustice of its application to the
polict? department of Boston, which alone among all the cities of the
Unitt-il .States of nearly its size has a police service to which no scandal
attaches.

.\PEIL 28, I9U.
In coinpliaiKC with its roc|Ucst I called at the nffice of the
Finance Commission Friday, June 19, 1914, at 2.:J0 p.m.
The chairman an(I two other meml>ers of the c-ommission
were pre>ent; also the junior counsel and a stenographer for
the ci>mmi>sion. The chairman read extracts frr)m testimony
fnven In-fore the commission in .\pril l)y a i)atrc>lman in the
pf>lic-e department, concerning a vote in 1910 of the Russell
Club of the Boston fire dei)artmcnt, (jf which he was then a
member, and asked wliat could Ix; done to procure his re-
moval as a policeman. I answere<l that the vote disclosed
no <»ffence; that in any case it was taken a year before the
patrolman was ap|)()inted a policeman on certification of the
Civil .Service Commission, and that therefore it could not
be made a subject of charges against him as a pf)lice officer.
The chairman explained tiiat the offence which the com-
mission had in mind was untruthfulness on the part of the
patnjlman in his testimony in .\i)ril. and that the proof of
untruthfulness consisted in his repeated answers under exam-
ination that he did not rcmcml)cr any of the circumstances of
the vote of 1910. I sugj;cstetl that denials of a witness,
however often repeated, that he rememtxred incidents of
four years before would not constitute proof of untruthful-
ness, and the chairman answered that the c-ourts had decided
that it would. I then explained the statutory provisions,
and the rules of the police department ba^ed thereon, as
eitabli>hing the right of an accused polic-e officer to written j
specifications of alleged offence and to a fair hearing. I '
1915.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 43
explained further tliat before ordering a hearing on a com-
plaint the police commissioner must satisfy himself that the
charge is of sufficient importance, and that there is reason-
able ground for believing that evidence adequate for con-
viction can be produced; that untruthfulness on the part of
a policeman was a serious offence; and that therefore in this
case the only question in doiibt was the sufficiency of proof.
I expressed the opinion that if the commission had evidence
to substantiate a charge of false testimony under oath, con-
stituting perjury, the better way would perhaps be to proceed
under the law, thus eliminating the possible suspicion on the
l)art of persons interested that a trial board of three captains
would show favor to a ])()lice defendant. As the commission
expressed disinclination towards this course, I said that if
the commission or any person representing it would make a
formal complaint, with a summarj- of the sustaining evidence
which could be produced, I would give the matter full con-
sideration. This the commission undertook to do, and in
order that its work might be facilitated I sent to the chair-
man, after my return to my office, a copy of the Police
^lanual, in which the procedure in such cases is fully ex-
plained. I have since heard nothing further on the subject
from the commission.
It is proper to add to the foregoing these memoranda: —
1. The "City Record" of Aug. 29, 1914, published a
general order from the fire commissioner of Boston, announc-
ing that a hearing had been held on a charge preferred by the
Boston Finance Commission against a lieutenant, alleging
conduct unbecoming a member of the fire department. The
charge was based on the circumstances of the vote of the
Russell Fire Club just described, but the case was stronger
than any that could have been brought against the police
patrolman because of the fact that the lieutenant had con-
tinued to be a member of the fire department. Neverthe-
less, the finding of the fire commissioner was: "It appearing
to the commissioner that sufficient evidence had not been
adduced to sustain the charges brought, the charges are
hereby dismissed."
2. It was announced in November, apparently by au-
44 POLICE COMMISSIONER. (Jan.
thority, that the salaries of officers of rank in the fire depart-
ment, wliich had been increased when police salaries were
increased, and reduced when the reduction of polic-e salaries
was proposed, would be restored at the beginning of the new
fiscal year.

fi<-ation of criminals. A large number of important identifi-
cations have tlius been made iluring the year for this and
other police departments, through which the sentences in
many instances have been materially increased. The records
of S71 criminals have been a<lde<l to the records kept in this
Bureau, which now contains a total of 3G,9SS. The number
of cases reported at this offic-e which have been investigated
during the year is G,-507. There are 2G,.7G3 cases reported
on the assignment books kept for tliis purpose, and reports
made on these cases are filed away for future reference.
I>ctters and telegrams to the number of about 3,.500 yearly
are now filed witli the numberetl reports to which they refer,
so that all the papers pertaining to a c-ase can be found in
the same envelope, thus simplifying matters when informa-
tion is desired on any case. The system of indexing adopted
by this Bureau for the use of ilie department now contains
a li:-t of records, histories, photographs, dates of arrests, etc.,
of about 150,000 persons. There are also "histories and
press clippings'' now numbering 7,13-5 by this Bureau, in
envelope form, for police reference.
The finger-print system of idcntific-ation, which was
a<Iopted in June, 1900. has progresses! in a satisfacton.'
manner, and with it the identification of criminals is fa-
cilitated. It has become verj" useful in tracing criminals
awl furnishing corroborating e\"i<lence in many instances.
