Office or the Poucx Commihsiovcr, 20 Peubebton Square.
Boston, Deoember 1, 1924.
To Hit Excellency Channing H. Cox, Governor.
Youh Excellency: — As Police Commissioner for the city of Boston I have the
honor to present, in compliance with the provisions of chapter 291 of the Acts of
the year 1906, a report of the Police Department for the year ending Novem-
ber 30, 1924.
Relative to the Sale and Carrying of Firearms.
The need of immediate legislation to remedy the present evils arising from the
almost indiscriminate selling and promiscuous carrying of fire arms is apparent.
The yearly increase in killings, murderous assaults and hold-ups by persons using
revolvers or pistols demand both the attention of the Legislature and the public
in general. Since my recommendations of last year for legislation upon this sub-
ject, the increase in homicides and assaults with dangerous weapons has been
alarming. In this department alone since November 30, 1923, one officer was
murdered and five others murderously assaulted, and even while this recommenda-
tion is being written, two of these officers are lying at the point of death from pistol
wounds received at the hands of a criminal who escaped after holding up with a
revolver and brutally assaulting the proprietor of a store.
If the sale of newspapers, magazines and periodicals which contain advertise-
ments of firearms was made a criminal offence, much of the business in firearms
now being done by mail order houses outside this Commonwealth could be elimi-
nated. From newspaper reports one of the largest mail order houses in this country
has discontinued the sale of firearms through the medium of the post office. This
is a step in the right direction and should be followed by other firearms distributors
outside this state, but until this practice becomes universal, some legislation is
necessary to prevent the easy delivery of dangerous weapons by mail to irresponsi-
ble persons in this state. Legislation, therefore, forbidding newspapers, periodicals
or magazines containing advertisements concerning firearms being sold in this
Commonwealth would have some effect at least in checking this interstate distribu-
tion of deadly weapons.
In relation to the sale and distribution of firearms within this Commonwealth,
legislation is also necessary to tighten up the present loose methods of the sale and
distribution of firearms by retail dealers. Legislation forbidding the sale of revolv-
ers or pistols to any person who has not received a license from the proper licensing
authorities to carry the same is necessary in my opinion, inasmuch as under the
present method which requires the lapse of one day from the date of application
before a firearm can be sold to a person who has not a permit to carry the same,
fraud can be and is perpetrated, and firearms are being sold and delivered on the
same day to persons who have not a permit to carry a firearm. A permit to carry
a firearm in my opinion should not be granted to any unnaturalized person or one
who has a criminal record, and the present law in relation to the granting of fire-
arms should be amended to that extent.
I believe that if the Legislature of Massachusetts should pass legislation tending
to remedy the conditions under which firearms are being sold and distributed in
this Commonwealth, that it would have a salutary effect on the Legislatures of
other states to pass similar legislation, and would eventually impress upon Congress
the necessity of passing laws relating to firearms, which would have binding effect
upon all the states of this Union.

Assaults upon Police Officers.
A police officer being essentially a state officer represent* in hk dfieiaA position
as a guardian of the peace and a servant sworn to enforce law axtd Atr&er, toe state
itself. Respect for authority, if not obtained by education, mu*t be catted by
fear of punishment. Disrespect or interference with the pohee in due performance
of their duty strikes at the root of government. The growth <*£ we idea, that
personal liberty must not be abridged or curtailed will bring alarming remits. An
examination of cases of assaults upon police officers since my mstaQkCDca in office
in April, 1922, and the disposition of the same by the court*, eumjete tme to recom-
mend that legislation be passed making an assault or attempt to ates&oit % police
officer or interference with him in the performance of his doty, a aeriona criminal
offence, carrying with it a jail sentence. The gravity of such an offemte is that it is
a direct attack upon the state itself is not fully comprehended by tfbe poblie. As
the present law stands, a differentiation is not made bet-seen as .ussu.uk upon a
police officer and an assault upon an ordinary citizen. The law-alnrfihg dement of
this community will understand that if a deliberate assault upon % yM<x officer is
disposed of either by a nominal fine or some disposition other that imprisonment,
the disorderly element of society becomes emboldened and eventually State to respect
or even fear the police. The morale of a Police Department is aflss a£eeted by
such dispositions of cases of assaults against police officers maaxradk tn it fives the
Police Force itself the impression that the public does not stand sgnaatlrr behind it
or believe in the importance of its work. In my opinion, the crime <ctf deliberate
assault upon a police officer in the performance of his duty should be punished not
by a fine, but by a substantial jail sentence.
Traffic.
Boston, as well as every other large city in this country, is £aeed wfitb (the difficult
problem of solving its traffic control. A study of the traffic eituatir,m xsA methods
adopted to regulate the same in other municipalities is both mtenertSng and en-
lightening, but the traffic problem in every city is peculiarly indrrnrfhttJ to it.
In the solution of this problem three features must be carefully ecuaioed: the
safety of the pedestrian, the creation of vehicular mobility and the puttoeJioo of the
traffic officer and equipment.
Semaphores and other mechanical devices have already been in+fjJkfd at several
important traffic points in this city and at the present time are wurinnc wiwessfully.
The installation of mechanical devices for traffic control, however, isuuur.4 c&ninate
the necessity of man power for this work. With the increase is tfibe number of
schoolhouses, additional crossings must be guarded by police {d&oarx, inasmuch
as it would be impracticable and unwise to force children to rehr wfidr rapem sema-
phores or beacons for protection in crossing the streets. It is itsaeaBtej also to
place traffic officers at the junctions of many streets in thk city, mraimieth as the
width and contour of the same do not permit the placing of traffic dterntw to regu-
late traffic.
In my report of last year I emphasized the fact that the lack *£ psSte officers
handicaps this department in enforcing the laws relating to the cpsrstaaa of auto-
mobiles and especially the rules and regulations promulgated by the B«Bs>d of Street
Commissioners relative to the parking of pleasure cars and other nwiu* vehicles
in violation of law, and I again desire to reiterate that this department needs at
leasr^200 additional police officers to be assigned specifically far taif&t daty.
With these officers, the increasing number of demands made Iby merchants,
parents and others of this city for better police protection at amBa%p could be
satisfied and traffic continuously controlled. A traffic force eodHl be organized
to control traffic at night and on Sundays, a condition which, at ttbe present time,
owing to lack of police officers, does not obtain. With these a^tStaceaJ police
officers, unnecessary and illegal parking, which today is one <of we most serious
obstacles in the way of traffic control, could be eliminated by the aiaajgunent of a
number of traffic officers to this particular line of work.
Although not pertinent to the subject of traffic, I belieTe it a*ri«ibfe to state
that in view of the recent increase in the number of hold-ims, nAAesntes and crimes
of similar nature, that 100 more men in addition to the 200 poEoe imroecc previously
mentioned, should be added to this department in order that Huey amy be dis-
tributed in the various police divisions which at the present time see mndormanned.
P.D. 49 3
Auction Sales.
Under existing law, the Police Commissioner of Boston has authority to license,
as auctioneers, suitable persons who have resided in Boston during the six months
next preceding the date of application for such license, which license may be, for
cause shown, revoked or suspended without a hearing. Under this power, the
authority of the Police Commissioner to regulate auction sales in Boston would
seem to be controlling, but inasmuch as, by statute, an auctioneer may sell goods
and merchandise in any place within his county, and when employed by others in
any place within this Commonwealth, if such sale is made where the property is
situated, many auctioneers, licensed by authorities outside the city of Boston,
and over whom the licensing authority in Boston has no supervision, do sell goods
in this city.
Auction sales in this city of jewelry, watches, diamonds and other articles of
personal use or ornament, much of which is sent from outlying cities to be sold in
Boston in stores leased for the purpose, seem to be on the increase and, despite the
fact that reports have been received from investigating officers of this Department
that at many of these auction sales questionable methods have been adopted and
false representations made, yet the Police Commissioner often is unable to imme-
diately remedy these abuses because the auctioneers committing the offences are
licensed by authorities outside of Boston and by subterfuge are often able to con-
ceal the source from which the merchandise was purchased. Resort must be made,
therefore, to criminal prosecution which, with its entailing delays, technicalities
and sometime inconsistent verdicts, has not yet produced favorable results in
checking this type of fraud.
This Department, at present, has prosecuted and has now under surveillance,
several of these auction establishments where jewelry and small wares are being
sold, and complaints are being received almost dairy from persons who have been
defrauded into buying articles of practically no intrinsic value.
To remedy this situation, I recommend legislation whereby the building or
establishment in which these auction sales are held, shall be licensed by the same
authorities of the cities or towns which at present license auctioneers. The licensing
authority then, if convinced upon bona fide complaints that fraud has been com-
mitted, can summarily revoke or suspend the license both of the auctioneer com-
mitting the offence and of the place where the offence was committed. This
system was in practice prior to the Volstead Act in regulating places where intoxi-
cating liquor was sold and could readily be applied to these auction establishments
mentioned where tons of cheap bric-a-brac are dumped to be auctioned off and
unloaded upon a gullible public needing protection against itself.
Liquob Traffic.
Enforcement of the prohibitory laws still stands out as one of the salient features
of police work in which the majority of the people of this Commonwealth is inter-
ested. In the last state election, an important legislative act amending the state
liquor enforcement laws, then in effect, was placed upon the ballot for the con-
sideration of the electorate. This amendment, which in brief forbids the manu-
facture and transportation of intoxicating liquors without a Federal permit, was
ratified by popular vote. Transportation of liquor by aircraft, watercraft or
vehicle without a proper permit, therefore, is now a criminal offence. Passage of
legislation of this nature was recommended by me in a prior report and after its
passage by the Legislature, ratification of the same by the people was also advised.
Although the statistical data in this report cover the police year from December
1, 1923 to November 30, 1924, yet inasmuch as this report is not submitted until
the end of the_ calendar year, interesting information concerning the effectiveness
of this new legislation, approved by the people of this state, can be given.
In effect less than a month, the results from the operation of the new law have
been instantaneous. The price of intoxicating liquor, as well as other lawful
commodities, is determined by the economic law of demand and supply and the
reputed sudden rise in the price of intoxicating liquor, especially of alcohol, since
this act went into effect, strengthens the conviction that the supply of liquor has
considerably decreased. Furthermore, the steady flow inland of liquor from the
seaports has been considerably arrested, and interurban traffic in liquor now appears
to be negligible. The police of the towns and cities bordering the coast line have
4 P.D. 49
taken advantage of this new legislation and are seizing considerable quantities of
liquor smuggled ashore. Those engaged in illegal liquor traffic are forced to adopt
ingenious schemes and artifices to even bring small amounts of liquor into this
citv, inasmuch as police officers of this department are successfully discovering and
exposing all such ruses- The harbor police, in conjunction with the Federal
Internal Revenue Department, have seized thousands of gallons of intoxicating
liquors which were being smuggled into this city through its harbor.
Another indication that the new law is checking liquor traffic is the fact that
amateur distilling and bnwring has again started, as this method of supplying the
demand would not be adopted if liquor was readily obtainable elsewhere.
Liquor traffic will continue just as long as the business itself is profitable. Re-
peated seizures of liquor m the part have caused financial distress and subsequent
withdrawal from this type of business of persons whose property was confiscated.
A steady unfaltering and persistent crusade against those who are selling, manu-
facturing or transporting liquor, much of which, although labeled with the trade
marks of most distingm*tied and eminent foreign and domestic brands of liquor,
is nothing but a rank cowooetion of artery hardening poison, will result eventually
in the general education af the public to the fact that it has been bilked long
enough.
Jail sentences should be meted out to offenders who care nothing as to the direful
consequences resulting from the absorption of their wares. Persons who deliber-
ately or with reckless abandon fell poison are not entitled to sympathy even from
the courts. The imposhwn of fines for liquor violations simply spurs on this class
to increase its business in order to meet this peculiar form of overhead expense.
Inteeobaxge op Police Communications,
Although the adoption td a syrtem of rapid police communication bctwcen_the
cities and towns of this rtarte was outlined in my last report, I believe that this is
a matter of sufficient importance to stress again this year.
I again urge and recommend the installation of a central communicating station,
either at Police Headquarters, Boston, or at the Department of Public Safety,
State House, to which aid important criminal matters could be communicated
either by telephone, telegraph or other communicating device, and thence relayed
throughout the Commonw*alth.
It is an accepted fact tlbat the commission of serious crimes such as hold-ups,
burglaries, hi-jacking, etc., is facilitated by the use of the motor vehicle and it is
important that the police net only keep abreast, but ahead, of the present criminals
by having at its disposal tlbe most modern methods of detecting crime and appre-
hending violators of the law.
Publication of Rjegistkation Numbers of Motor Vehicles.
The publication of the names and addresses of owners of motor vehicles in
Massachusetts, with the aligned registration numbers, will be discontinued next
year by the private concern which has, for some time, been publishing this informa-
tion in pamphlet form, awl as a substitute for this published list, the Registrar of
Motor Vehicles will (urnhh information in response to telephonic inquiries.
In police work it is absohtteJy imperative that a list of the owners of automobiles,
with assigned registration numbers, be available day and night for immediate
service, and the proposed wubt-titution of telephonic service for this printed list will
seriously cripple the polww, especially when, as today, the automobile figures so
prominently in crime.
A list of owners and registration numbers of motor vehicles registered in Massa-
chusetts should be printed and published by this Commonwealth and distributed
to the Police Department* *A 'tis various cities and towns.
Police Property.
Continuing the adopted policy of making both police stations and houses of
detention sanitary and halntable and police garages fireproof as far as possible
with the money allotted Ut this work in the annual budget, considerable recondi-
tioning, repairing, painting and cleansing have been done in several of the police
buildings during the past year.
In the early part of nert year, two new police stations will be ready for occu-
pancy: Station 2, a ten-*«ory rtructure located at Milk and Scars streets, the
P.D. 49 5
completion of which has been delayed for some time because of unforseen difficul-
ties, will house Division 2, now located in an ill-ventilated and poorly equipped
building in City Hall Avenue, and also Division 20, Traffic, and the Property
Clerk's Bureau, now located in Quincy Hall Market. Station 18, Hyde Park
District, wfll probably be ready for occupancy before the first of March, 1925,
replacing an old and inadequate station house with a modern police building.
The former Municipal Court House of Seaverns Avenue, West Roxbury, has
been reconstructed and added to Station 13, furnishing a new guard room, wash
and toflet rooms and library, together with modern cell rooms for men and women.
The steamer Guardian, the largest of the four boats assigned to the harbor
patrol, has been thoroughly overhauled and replaced in service in first class con-
dition.
Since my last report, the site for the new Police Headquarters for which the
Legislature give the city of Boston the right to borrow one million dollars outside
of the debt limit and for the construction of which the city of Boston also appro-
priated the additional sum of S50,000, was selected at the corner of Berkeley and
Stuart streets. The plans for the completion of this seven-story building have
been drawn, submitted and approved and excavating work already has been
started.
Very respectfully,
HERBERT A. WILSON.
Police Commissioner for the City of Boston.

The total number of persons arreted counting each arrest as that of a separate
person was S3.917 as against 76,732 tie preceding year, being an increase of 7,1S5.
The percentage of decrease and increase was as follows: —
Ter Cent.
Offences against the person . . . - ...... Increase, 7.4 1
Offences against property committed with Tidssire ...... Increase, 34. S3
Offences against property committed without -salience ...... Increase, 8. Ho

Offences against the license law .......... Increase, 10.25
Offences against chastity, morality, etc. ........ Increase, 0.05
Offences not included in the foregoing ......... Increase, 8.08
There were 12,626 persons arrested! on warrants and 54,459 without warrants;
16,832 persons were summoned by tie court; 79,44S persons were held for trial;
4,469 were released from custody. Toe number of males arrested was 78,244; of
females, 5,673; of foreigners, 29,304; or approximately 34.92 per cent; of minors,
8,995. Of the total number arrested 21,263, or 25.33 per cent, were nonresidents.
(See Tables X, XI.)
The average amount of fines imposed by the courts for the five years from 1920
to 1924 inclusive, was S215.363.82; in 1924 it wasS221,577.15; or $6,213.33 more
than the average.
The average number of days' attendance at court was 39,320; in 1924 it was
43,014, or 3,694 more than the average. The average amount of witness fees
earned was $12,697.14; in 1924 it was $14,059.70, or $1,362.56 more than the
average. (See Table XIII.)
Drunkenness.
In the arrests for drunkenness tLe average per day was 10S. There were 548
more persons arrested than in 1923, ax increase of 1.40 per cent; 24.14 per cent of
the arrested persons were nonres-idezru, and 38.92 per cent were of foreign birth.
(See Table XI.)
Bureau of Odbonal Investigation.
The "identification room" now otatains 65,021 photographs, 55,081 of which
are photographs with Bertillon mouKrements, a system used by the Department
for the past twenty-six years. In acxnrdance with the Revised laws, chapter 225,
section 18 and with the General Less, chapter 127, sections 27 to 29 both inclu-
sive, we are allowed photographs widL Bertillon measurements taken of convicts
in the State Prison and reformatory, » number of which have been added to our
Bertillon cabinets. This, together wink the adoption of the system by the Depart-
ment in 1898, is and will continue to le of great assistance in the identification of
criminals. A large number of important identifications have thus been made
during the year for this and other pofce departments, through which the sentences
in many instances, have been matertaljr increased. The records of 1,139 criminals
have been added to the records of tlw Bureau, which now contains a total of
45,180. The number of cases reported at this office which have been investi-
gated during this year is 40,062. Ttere are 39,174 cases reported on the assign-
ment books kept for this purpose, and reports made on these cases are filed away
P.D. 49 7
for future reference. The system of indexing adopted by this Bureau for the use
of the Department now contains a list of records, histories, photographs, dates of
arrest, etc., of about 200,000 persons. There are also "histories and press clip-
pings," now numbering 8,856 made by thi? Bureau, in envelope form, for police
reference.
The finger-print system of identification which was adopted in June, 1906, has
progressed in a satisfactory manner, and with it the identification of criminals is
facilitated. It has become very useful in tracing criminals and furnishing corrobo-
rating evidence in many instances.
The statistics of the work of this branch of the service are included in the state-
ment of the general work of the Department, but as the duties are of a special

REPORT.
HEAborxjnxna of the Police Department.
Office or the Police Cojooshoxxe, 29 Pemberton Square,
Bostox, De*. 1, 1925.
To His Excellency Alva* T. FrLLER, Gottnor.
Your Excellexct; — As Police Commissioner for the
city of Boston I hare the honor to present, in compliance
with the provisions of chapter 291 of the Acts of the year
1906, a report of the Police Department for the year ending
November 30, 1925.
EXFORCEMEST OF THE PbOHIBITCOX LAWS.
Since my last report upon this subject., I am pleased to
state that the general Equor situation in this city has been
greatly improved. The source of supply of contraband liquor,
either from caches in outlying cities and towns or from stills
within this city, due to the vigilance and activities of the
police, has been noticeably reduced. Many large operators
in the illicit liquor business have been not only driven out of
this particular occupation but have been actually reduced to
penury. The problem of intelligent enforcement of the
prohibitory laws is of a two-fold nature; first, liquor must be
prevented from flowing into this city from adjacent terri-
tories, and the manufacture of so-called "moonshine" elimi-
nated within the city itself ; and second, the illegal distribution
of liquor at various points within the city must be curtailed.
This Department by its unceasing efforts has stopped
the steady flow of liquor into this city and has reduced
the amount of liquor illegally transported within its
borders to practically a negligible quantity. In regard to the
distribution of liquor from stores, dwelling houses and various
places of business in this city, the situation is as tense as
6 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
it was a year ago when legislation placing criminal responsi-
bility upon owners of property where liquor was illegally sold,
was defeated by the legislature of this Commonwealth,
although this legislation was supported and urgently requested
by the police departments of many of the cities and towns of
this State. A general outline of the liquor problem, while
interesting, seldom gives the public a real conception of actual
conditions. An actual pen picture of liquor conditions in
this city, conditions which the police are faced with, demon-
strates that some legislative aid must be given to those officers
of this Commonwealth who, sworn to the performance of their
duty, are attempting to enforce the prohibition laws despite
the many obstacles placed in their path.
The following figures compiled in the office of the Police
Commissioner, comprising the period from December 1, 1923,
to November 30, 1925, may be interesting. One place in this
city where liquor was illegally sold was raided 25 times; one
place, 24 times; one place, 23 times; one place, 21 times;
four places, 20 times; one place, 19 times; one place, 18
times; four places, 17 times; one place, 16 times; eight
places, 15 times; six places, 14 times; five places, 13 times;
nine places, 12 times; fourteen places, 11 times; sixteen
places, 10 times; twenty-six places, 9 times; twenty-two
places, 8 times; forty-five places, 7 times. Figures on places
where liquor was sold and which were raided less than seven
times were not computed.
Because of the difficulty experienced with continued viola-
tions of the liquor law at these various establishments which
operate in violation of the law, I recommend legislation which
will empower me to proceed much the same as is now provided
for in prosecutions of houses of prostitution under General
Laws, chapter 139, sections 6 to 12, inclusive, and which will
afford a means that will authorize the police to seek a per-
manent remedy against the place where such liquor is sold in
violation of law. Such legislation is urgent, because the
Police Department has found from experience that although
many prosecutions have been made with resulting convictions,
these violators of the law continue to operate in the same
premises until a further search and seizure is made, when it is
found that a different defendant appears and assumes the
burden of defending the subsequent prosecution. This prac-
tice prevails to a large extent, so that one establishment may
1926.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 7
be raided several times and a different defendant appear in
each instance. I, therefore, recommend legislation that will
provide a remedy which will authorize the police to close, for a
substantial period of time, premises which are found to be
continually operating in violation of law. With this legisla-
tion, the municipal police could attain the same results as
the Federal authorities now are accomplishing by means of the
padlock law under the Volstead Act.
Another feature of the liquor situation that requires remedial
legislation is that no criminal responsibility rests on persons
transporting methyl alcohol or so-called wood alcohol in con-
tainers or receptacles not marked to denote that wood alcohol
is contained therein. Under the present law of this Common-
wealth, it is a criminal offence to sell, exchange or deliver
methyl alcohol not properly labeled; yet the transportation
of the same without being labeled as such, to places where it
may be redistilled, and the redistilled product placed on the
market, is not a criminal offence.
Large quantities of methyl alcohol — or wood alcohol so-
called — or denatured alcohol, are now being distributed
throughout the Commonwealth in containers bearing false
labels, such as linseed oil — rubbers — molasses — fish oil.
This alcohol is shipped from place to place, redistilled and then
distributed for beverage purposes. In order to prohibit this
practice, I recommend that the law now requiring such alcohol
to be properly labeled when sold, exchanged or delivered,
require it to be so labeled when transported. In other words,
to insert the word transport into the Act covering such sale,
exchange or delivery.
This type of law violator, the redistiller of wood alcohol,
is one of the meanest in the criminal category, inasmuch as
the article, wood alcohol, which he attempts to redistill, he
has no hesitancy in placing on the market, although the
poisonous substances contained in the original liquid are not
fully eliminated in the redistilled product. He can be aptly
classified as a potential murderer, and every assistance possible
in the enactment of law by the legislature should be given the
police to help them in their efforts to track to its destination
the transported wood alcohol so that the illegal receivers of
the same may be prosecuted and punished by the courts.
POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Traffic Control.
The control of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in this city
is now and has been for some time a very difficult problem.
With the increasing yearly number of registrations, additional
plans, studies and preparations have been made in order to
keep the flow of traffic continuous; at the same time, in work-
ing out the problem, serious consideration must be given to
our merchants whose money is invested in department stores
and other lines of business. At the present time, one of our
large department stores is building a garage for the accom-
modation of its customers. There is also one other garage
located in this city, whereby customers of certain department
stores may park their automobiles free, for two hours in the
forenoon.
The solution of the traffic problem in Boston, because of the
width and peculiar contour of the streets, is one which must be
worked out to meet actual conditions which arise from time
to time. These conditions differ greatly from those which
confront the police in other cities, where traffic control can
be accomplished largely by means of a synchronized lighting
system. The use of semaphores cannot eliminate entirely
the necessity of man power in the control of traffic. Since
my last report a permanent semaphore has been installed at
the intersection of Boylston and Tremont streets. The opera-
tion of this signal has solved the traffic problem which con-
fronted the police at this busy and dangerous corner. Through
the courtesy and kindness of Louis E. Kirstein, Esq., of the
William Filene's Sons Company, and of William L. Shearer,
Esq., of the Paine Furniture Company of this city, similar
towers have been donated to the city of Boston and will soon
be erected at the junction of Summer and Washington streets
and at the intersection of Boylston and Arlington streets.
In addition, it is proposed during the coming year to place
traffic semaphores at the intersections of Commonwealth
and Massachusetts avenues and of Massachusetts Avenue and
Beacon Street. A large number of flashing beacons and other
signalling devices have been installed at dangerous street
intersections throughout the city and they help in no small
degree to eliminate accidents at these places. During the
year 15 spotlight poles were installed, in addition to those
already in service in different locations throughout the city,
1926.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 9
to guard traffic officers on fixed posts. This makes a total of
99 spotlights now in use in the city.
The same constant demand for traffic officers to protect
school children and adult pedestrians, at places now unpro-
tected, has been met by the response that many dangerous
traffic points could not be covered because of the lack of police
officers. In certain sections of the city, some of the main
highways at different times during the day become practically
impassable to pedestrians at unpoliced crossings because of
what may be called the barrage of automobiles passing along
these streets. In order to properly police this city, three
hundred additional police officers should be added to this
Department. These men would be apportioned to the two
traffic divisions and to the other police divisions. It should
be understood that while primarily it is the duty of a traffic
officer to direct vehicular and pedestrian traffic, yet he may
and often does, in addition, undertake the same type of work
as an officer attached to a division, of maintaining peace and
protecting property.
Another feature of traffic control, the adoption of which
has proved successful in several western cities, and which I
advocated in 1924, before the Joint Special Committee on the
Control, Supervision and Regulation of Motor Vehicles, is
the so-called "right-of-way or boulevard stop." It requires
vehicles to come to a full stop before entering or crossing a
boulevard. This "boulevard stop" has distinct advantages
inasmuch as operators of through traffic with the right of
way can move rapidly without fear of side street traffic enter-
ing unexpectedly into the main traffic current. At this time
the Board of Street Commissioners has proposed to put this
"boulevard stop" into operation on Shawmut Avenue, and
the same could advantageously be adopted on several other
boulevards of this city. If this regulation is universally
adopted, repealing General Laws, chapter 89, section 8, which
gives a vehicle on the right, approaching an intersecting street,
the right of way, in my opinion a great number of unnecessary
and serious accidents would be eliminated.
Considerable more study must be given to the subject of
traffic control in Boston. Sacrifice of valuable mercantile
property in the widening of streets, resulting in the creation
of additional parking spaces in the highways of this city, is
both expensive and futile. A large portion of the traffic now
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
passing through the (congested area of Boston is so-called
"through traffic," and suitable routes should be marked out
to "by-pass" the same. In other cities such "by-passing"
has worked successfuly, and merchants of Boston will find
that the use of such "by-passing" will increase their business,
inasmuch as it gives jgreater facility of approach to a larger
number of those who desire to trade in the city.
Gifford LeCIair, Esq., Chairman of Committee on Street
Traffic and Municipal and Metropolitan Affairs of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, and Ellcrton J. Brehaut, Esq.,
Assistant Secretary of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, have
rendered this Department valuable assistance in giving much
of their time and effort to the study of the adoption of beacons
and semaphores as affecting traffic control, and their counsel
and judgment have b«n of exceeding value.
Firearms.
I recommend that farther legislation be enacted to prevent
the sale or use of sikneers or any instrument, attachment,
weapon, or appliance for causing the firing of a gun, revolver,
pistol or other fireanai to be silent, or intended to lessen or
muffle the noise of the firing of the same. Such devices are
now being manufactwed and placed on sale. This instru-
ment has recently beea used in other cities outside this Com-
monwealth and legislation in this direction is necessary to
assist the police in apprehending offenders who use this
device in the commission of crime.
I again recommend for consideration, such legislation as
will forbid in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts the sale
of magazines or periodicals, published cither in Massachusetts
or other places outside of the Commonwealth, advertising the
sale of firearms. If such legislation were enacted into law, it
would, in my opinio^ help to stop the indiscriminate dis-
tribution of firearms by mail order houses, many of such
firearms now finding ftheir way into the hands of youths and
other irresponsible people.
\Yhile I agree that sieh legislation would be more effective
if passed by the Congress of the United States, yet until this
is done I believe thus this Commonwealth should lead the
way and do all possiMe to curtail such sales. If laws can be
enacted to prohibit tie sale of magazines containing obscene
pictures and stories mot fit for publication, and forbidding
1926.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 11
licensed persons to display in their windows any gun, pistol
or other firearm, they can likewise be passed to stop the adver-
tising of these death-dealing weapons.
Some legislation was passed last year relative to the regula-
tion of the sale of firearms, but the recommendation relative
to the purchaser of a firearm, that he first procure a license to
carry the same, is of the utmost importance and should be-
come a law.
I therefore recommend the passage of such legislation as
will require all persons purchasing, renting or leasing fire-
arms, to first procure a license to carry the same. Such
license should hare stamped thereon the time and place of
such sale, rental or lease, and no subsequent sale, rental or
lease of a firearm should be made to any person whose license
to carry a firearm shows that he had previously purchased,
rented or leased the same.
Relative to the Theft, Concealment and Misappropria-
tion of Motor Vehicles.
Owing to the large number of automobiles being stolen,
not only in Boston but throughout the Commonwealth, I
believe that the statute covering this offence should be
amended. At the present time, most of these offenders are
being charged with "unlawful appropriation of automobiles"
and are being prosecuted under the old statute (General Laws,
chapter 2G6, section 63), which was intended to apply to the
unlawful taking of horses and carriages, and consequently a
nominal fine is usually imposed in such cases and which has no
deterrent effect upon the so-called automobile thief. In
1919, a law was placed upon the Statute Books known as
chapter 249, relative to the thefts of motor vehicles, which
imposed a penalty of imprisonment in the State Prison for
not less than five nor more than ten years. This Act remained
in force for a period of only eleven months, during which time
but few automobiles were stolen. This Act was amended in
1920 by chapter 322, changing the penalty to imprisonment in
the State Prison for not more than five years or imprisonment
in jail or the House of Correction for not less than one year.
Few cases are now being prosecuted under this Act.
I therefore recommend that chapter 266, section 63, of the
General Laws be amended by adding at the end of said sec-
tion, the following: that the word "vehicle" in this section
12 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
shall not apply to a motor vehicle or motor cycle; that chapter
322 of the acts of 1920 be repealed; and that a new Act be
passed, making the penalty for stealing a motor vehicle or
motorcycle, imprisonment in the State Prison for not less
than five years.
Need of More Police Officers.
The number of police officers in this Department «amnot
be increased except by concurrent authorization of the Mayor.
The present quota is 1,724 patrolmen and 8 policewomen.
Since February 1, 1920, a period of practically six year?r this
quota has been increased only by the addition of 150 police
officers and 8 policewomen. The argument that, inasmuch as
the population of Boston has increased in the last ten years
only 35,000, the present police force is sufficient, is not tenable,
because this Department is obliged yearly to take tare of
millions of persons coming in from outlying cities and towns,
and a glance at the table of arrests will show that a large
percentage of those arrested by the police officer.* of this
Department are not residents of Boston.
The National Prohibition Act, prohibiting the sale, manu-
facture and distribution of intoxicating liquor, went into
effect on July 1, 1919, and constantly from that period, the
Federal government has been appropriating yearly increasing
sums of money and providing additional men to enforce this
Act. Liquor-law enforcement in this city is becoming more
burdensome each year, and additional officers should be piven
to this Department if this work is to be continued in a busincss-
like manner.
Control of automobile traffic, and incidentally of pedestrian
traffic, as previously stated in my report, is of enormous
importance. With over a half a million automobiles regis-
tered yearly in this State, most of which find their way at
some time or other into Boston, a day and night, Sunday and
holiday traffic force is required, but on account of the insuffi-
cient number of men, these additions to the traffic divisions
cannot be made. Consequently, route men arc taken from
the various station houses to work at traffic posts.
Officers attached to divisions other than traffic should l>c
patrolling routes, protecting the lives and property ol citizens.
Hundreds of police officers attend court every day and, while
in court, substitutes should be on their respective rr/utes.
1926.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 13
Unfortunately this cannot be done and many times officers
must cover two routes, a condition which should not exist as
the citizens are entitled to the fullest protection possible
consistent with economy.
Many additional street rules and regulations have been
passed by the Board of Street Commissioners, thus placing
more work upon this Department in seeing that the same are
enforced. These rules and regulations are put into effect to
expedite traffic conditions in this city, and to allow them to
become nugatory through lack of enforcement would seriously
embarrass the traffic situation, for traffic must be kept fluid
so that property may be protected and business continued.
With the number of schoolhouses in this city increased,
necessarily the number of crossings where children should be
guarded has correspondingly increased; in fact today on the
main boulevards and highways practically all crossings should
be policed, inasmuch as a pedestrian is entitled to the same
protection as the operator of an automobile.
As the number of licensed motor hackney carriages in this
city has increased since 1910 from 317 to 1,738, with a cor-
responding decrease for the same period in horse-drawn
hackney carriages from 1,714 to 28, it is apparent that the
control of these vehicles necessarily demands an increased
number of officers to take care of this particular traffic.
Many of the outlying districts which a few years ago did
not have or need the same number of officers apportioned to
them as the intown divisions, now, owing to the fact that the
population of these outlying districts has greatly increased,
require as many, and in some instances more officers than the
downtown stations. In many divisions it is practically Im-
possible for an officer to try the doors of stores and mercantile
establishments and "pull" his duty calls on time. Routes must
be shortened and more officers added to take care of them.
The number of available police officers in this Department
at times is also seriously reduced by sickness and disability,
vacations, details at libraries, public buildings, public parks^
parades, conventions, expositions and strikes, and also by
many investigations, such as jurors' lists, club incorporators,
etc.
The question of adding additional officers to the Depart-
ment I intend to take up with the incoming Mayor, as soon as
practicable after his inauguration.
14 POLICE COMMISSIONER. (Jan.
Rapid Communication of Police News.
As stated in a previous report, in order to cope with the
present day criminal the police must have at their disposal
the most speedy means and mechanism for communicating
news of the commission of a crime to the various police de-
partments of outlying cities and towns within a radius of
twenty-five miles.
The automobile today is an important factor in the com-
mission of crime and because of the speed and celerity with
which the crime can be committed and the get-away of the
criminal accomplished, it is also absolutely necessary that all
information in relation to the commission of a crime be in-
stantly communicated without delay to outlying cities and
towns, so that the offenders may be captured before they have
a chance to leave the borders of this State, and thus force upon
the police the burden of extraditing them, if captured later.
A central station from which police news could be broadcast,
situated either at the new Headquarters of the Boston Police
Department or at the State House, should be immediately
installed. It now takes forty minutes to transmit information
to all cities and towns within a radius of ten miles of Boston.
When as many as thirty cars are stolen in a day, one can readily
see the necessity of a system that will communicate all informa-
tion in a much quicker way. With a central radiating station
at either of these points, many culprits can be apprehended
who now are able to accomplish their escape because of the
slow and antiquated methods at present in use to notify cities
and towns adjacent to Boston of_a crime committed in this
city.
I am not at this time advocating any particular system of
intercommunication, but such useful information may be
obtained by an investigating committee, which would inspect
the various systems which have been adopted in other cities
outside this State.
Such a communicating system would also be very useful in
notifying the various police departments of the registration
numbers of stolen automobiles, and other news items of
importance to the police.

Police Property.
The new Station House on Hyde Park Avenue, Hyde Park
District, for Division 18, was dedicated on December 31, 1924,
and on March 4, 1925, the old and unsanitary building for-
merly used as a police station was abandoned for this new,
commodious and modern police building.
On February 14, 1925, the new ten-story police building at
229 Milk Street was dedicated, and in the following month
police division 2, then at the old quarters on City Hall Avenue,
traffic division 20 and the Property Clerk's office, the two
latter having been located in temporary quarters in the Quincy
Market Hall building, were transferred to permanent quarters
in this new building.
These two new buildings embody the latest architectural
features in the construction of police buildings and are the
fulfillment of a long-felt need in this Department.
On August 25, 1925, the corner stone of the new Police
Headquarters building, situated on the corner of Berkeley and
Stuart streets, was laid with fitting ceremonies. This building
will probably be completed and ready for occupancy in the
early part of next j'ear, and the present ill-adapted, unsanitary
and over-crowded Headquarters building now in Pemberton
Square, abandoned.
Five new motor patrol wagons were bought and placed in
commission during the year and considerable repair work was
done on the four harbor police boats.
Stations 9 and 17 were repainted throughout, and general
repairs were made in several of the other station houses. In
stations 1 and 3, new heating plants were installed and all
station houses have been kept in good order.
There are, however, several station houses of this Depart-
ment that are unsanitary, antiquated and overcrowded.
Among them are station 5 on East Dedham Street, station 4
on LaGrange Street and station 3 on Joy Street.
I intend to make an effort during the ensuing year to obtain
an appropriation from the City Government to replace one or
more of these old buildings with new and modern station
houses.
One of the most important needs of this Department at the
present time is the erection of a garage large enough to store
at least one hundred cars, with a repair shop attached.
16 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
The law requires that all lost, stolen and abandoned motor
vehicles, recovered by the police, shall be carefully stored until
returned to their rightful owners.
At the present time many abandoned and stolen cars,
recovered by officers of this Department, are now stored in
private garages, storehouses!, and police division garages and
yards adjoining them. These should be stored in one central
garage, which could be utilized both as a clearing house for
missing cars and as a place where both the spare and other
cars in use by this Department could be stored, and where
also all the repair work on the rolling stock of this Department
could be done.
New court-houses are being constructed in the Dorchester
and Brighton districts and when completed the courts will
vacate the quarters now occupied for court purposes at
police division 11, Dorchester, and police division 14, Brigh-
ton. It will then be possible to take over the quarters thus
vacated and aDV/w of increased facilities for police business in
both of these buildings.
Cexkc» Taking.
In April of this year, the Department, at the request of His
Honor the Mayor, performed the work of taking a census of
the inhabitants of this city residing therein as of March 31,
provided for by section 7, chapter 453 of the Acts of 1924.
The work was done according to the new ward lines effec-
tive April 1, whereby the number of wards in the city was
reduced from 26 to 22.
The result of the work of the Department in such census
taking was as follows: —

20 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
There were 13,480 persons arrested on warrants and 52,288
without warrants; 17,377 persons were summoned by the
courts; 79,101 persons were held for trial; 4,044 were released
from custody. The number of males arrested was 77,813; of
females, 5,332; of foreigners, 27,766; or approximately 33.39
per cent; of minors, 8,445. Of the total number arrested,
20,353, or 24.47 per cent, were nonresidents. (See Tables
X, XI.)
The average amount of fines imposed by the courts for the
five years from 1921 to 1925, inclusive, was $272,891.12; in
1925 it was $442,404; or $169,512.88 more than the average.
The average number of days' attendance at court was
45,252; in 1925 it was 58,562, or 13,310 more than the average.
The average amount of witness fees earned was $14,644.45;
in 1925 it was $17,354.16, or $2,709.71 more than the average.
(See Table XIII.)
Drunkenness.
In the arrests for drunkenness the average per day was 104.
There were 1,592 less persons arrested than in 1924, a decrease
of 4.02 per cent; 23.29 per cent of the arrested persons were
nonresidents and 39.32 were of foreign birth. (See Table XI.)
Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
The "identification room" now contains 66,007 photo-
graphs, 55,359 of which are photographs with Bertillon
measurements, a system used by the Department since
November 30, 1898. In accordance with the Revised Laws,
chapter 225, section 18, and with the General Laws, chapter
127, sections 27 to 29, both inclusive, we are allowed photo-
graphs with Bertillon measurements taken of the convicts in
the State Prison and Reformatory, a number of which have
been added to our Bertillon cabinets. This, together with the
adoption of the system by the Department in 1898, is and
will continue to be of great assistance in the identification of
criminals. A large number of important identifications have
thus been made during the year for this and other police
departments, through which the sentences in many instances
have been materially increased. The records of 928 criminals
have been added to the records of this Bureau, which now
contains a total of 46,108. The number of cases reported
at this office which have been investigated during the year is.
1926.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 21
42,208. There are 41,349 cases reported on the assignment
books kept for this purpose, and reports made on these cases
are filed away for future reference. The system of indexing
adopted by this Bureau for the use of the Department now
contains a list of records, histories, photographs, dates of
arrests, etc., of about 205,000 persons. There are also "his-
tories and press clippings" now numbering 9,037 made by
this Bureau, in envelope form, for police reference.
The finger-print system of identification which was adopted
in June, 1906, has progressed in a satisfactory manner, and
with it the identification of criminals is facilitated. It has
become very useful in tracing criminals and furnishing cor-
roborating evidence in many instances.
The statistics of the work of this branch of the service are
included in the statement of the general work of the Depart-
ment, but as the duties are of a special character the following
statement will be of interest: —

Miscellaneous Work.
During the year the employees of this service responded
to 1,692 trouble calls; inspected 510 signal boxes, 18 signal
desks and 955 batteries; repaired 180 box movements, 54
registers, 81 polar box bells, 60 locks, 33 time stamps, 7 stable
motors, 9 stable registers, 7 vibrator bells, 6 relays, 8 pole
changers and 5 electric fans, besides repairing all bell and
electric light work at headquarters and the various stations.
There have been made 37 plungers, 43 complete box fittings,
51 line blocks, 45 automatic hooks, 4 stable boards and a

but has not been installed as the necessary ducts that were
to be laid by the telephone company have not been completed
and the work cannot be done until 1926.
New signal desks were fitted and equipped for Stations 2 and
18. Rebuilt and renewed desks have been installed at Sta-
tions 10 and 13. Greatly increased use of the automatic
answer-back signals has put added strain on register contacts
and other working parts and the registers have to be constantly
repaired. Measures arc being taken to prolong their life
until such time as some one can be found to build new and
suitable ones.
There are in use in the signal service: 1 White truck, 1
Ford sedan and 1 Ford truck.

REPORT.
HtAJXJCABTERS Or THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Orncr or the Police Commissioner, 154 Berkelet Stbeet.
Boston, December 1. 1926.
To His Excellency Alt ax T. Fuller, Governor.
Your Excellzxct: — As Police Commissioner for the city
of Boston I have the honor to present, in compliance with the
provisions of chapter 291 of the Acts of the year 1906, a report
of the Police Department for the year ending November 30,
1926.
Liquor Traffic and Narcotics.
Enforcement of the prohibitory laws because of the many
important legal questions being brought to the attention of
the highest federal and state tribunals, both affecting the con-
struction to be given to various parts of these prohibitory acts
and the proper method of enforcement by the state and federal
authorities, still commands public attention. Increasing dif-
ference of opinion of the federal courts as to the construction
of certain parts of the Volstead Act and the rigidity of pro-
cedure laid upon the enforcing authorities by the state courts,
together with the undue publicity given to new ways and
means adopted by the violators of the liquor laws to carry on
liquor traffic, naturally focuses public attention upon the
liquor situation.
Enforcement of the liquor law is still a paramount problem
for both federal and state authorities. After the proper
methods of enforcement procedure have been settled by the
courts, the ensuing problem is the detection and conviction of
liquor violators with the infliction of proper punishment for
the commission of this type of crime. The punishment meted
out to liquor violators should act as a real deterrent. Distinct
progress in decreasing liquor traffic in this city cannot be gain-
6 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
said. The number of arrests for drunkenness may serve as a
barometer for those opposed to the principle of the prohibitory
laws, but the accurate method to determine whether the law
is being enforced is by reference to credible and substantial
reports of enforcement agents to superiors as to the quantity
and quality of intoxicating liquor to be purchased illegally.
The proper way, therefore, to ascertain whether the liquor
laws are being enforced is to ascertain whether this contraband
article can easily be obtained. The supply of potable alcohol
has been greatly diminished in this city and the price of gen-
uine alcohol is extremely high. The number of places where
this product may be obtained in large quantities has been
materially reduced. Distillation of the various toxic concoc-
tions from commercial or mercantile alcohol into pseudo or
quasi-vendible products advertised as genuine products seems
to be the last resort of those plying the contraband liquor
trade.
The illegal liquor distilling industry, because its functioning
is easily detected, cannot be carried on in crowded cities and
is now suburban in character. Death seems not to be a ready
deterrent to an irrational desire for intoxicating liquors and,
strangely enough, many persons by buying and consuming
distilled products wrapped in masquerading labels and covers,
are innocently courting this grim figure.
To the praise of this department, every possible device and
scheme to import and distribute intoxicating liquors is known
or can be easily detected, but the difficulty with the liquor
situation is not so much in stopping liquor flowing into the
city from legitimate sources of manufacture or supply, but to
eliminate that despicable class which has no hesitancy in
knowingly selling a rank type of poison.
If the activities of violators who persist in a deliberate, cal-
culating manner to evade the liquor laws are not properly
checked upon conviction with jail or prison sentences, the
police in their prosecution of liquor violators arc only making
gestures. As an indication of the activities of this department
in these prosecutions, 38,882 persons were arrested for drunk-
enness in this city, 37,376 males and 1,506 females, from De-
cember 1, 1925, to November 30, 1926, and during the same
period, 4,609 liquor searches on warrants were made.
Owners of property, more solicitous for income from real
estate than for respectable tenants, are actual participants in
1927.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 7
sordid conditions created by tenants violating liquor laws.
Responsibility for such conditions rests squarely upon their
shoulders as taxpayers of this city. If indifference and cu-
pidity control the action of property owners, it would seem
strange if, in time, the same atmosphere did not permeate the
ranks of the Police Department.
In certain sections of this city the police are cognizant that
liquor is being sold illegally and secretly. Persons engaged in
this contraband business are naturally watching the police so
that their activities may not be disturbed. By stratagem the
police often either obtain a sale or seize intoxicating liquor in
a building. Parties occupying the premises are brought into
court and fined, with a warning that conviction of the same
offense (not conviction of another offense against the liquor
laws) may result in imprisonment. Under such a hazard,
liquor traffickers are careful that when the next raid is made,
some other lessee or occupant of the building is apprehended,
The fact that the substitute lessee or occupant is an agent of
the former lessee or occupant is generally known to the owner
of the building and, despite a similar suspicion by the courts,
yet, because of the lack of necessary legal proof, such agent
being treated as a principal and as a first offender escapes the
real punishment due him.
Owners of real estate, with their minds on overhead charges,
thus seem to be willing to accept as new tenants, well-known
liquor traffickers. Leases under the law may be voided where
lessees or occupants engage in unlawful business upon the
premises. Where landlords refuse to take notice, even after
police advice concerning the nature of the business carried on
by their tenants, and tenant after tenant of the same building
is convicted of some one or other of the various infringements
of the liquor laws, it would seem logical that the police should
not be compelled to resort to the archaic method of securing
an interminable number of search warrants and find itself
moving around in a circle, accomplishing nothing, to the
amusement of this type of lawbreakers, but should have the
same authority to eradicate from suspected buildings "rum"
joints by methods similar to those now authorized by statute
in eliminating houses of prostitution. I am again proposing
legislation to this effect whereby buildings may be declared
by the courts to be nuisances and enjoined as such. Equity
proceedings of this nature would produce as effective results
8 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
as the application of the so-called "padlock law" by the
federal equity courts.
The problem of the suppression of the use of narcotic drugs
is not local but international in scope. With federal and
state laws enacted to regulate the handling, manufacture,
transportation, storing, prescribing and use of narcotics, the
police problem in relation to narcotic drugs is reduced to that
of prevention of smuggling of narcotics and the arrest of both
illegal distributors and addicts.
The principal narcotics used by addicts are opium, mor-
phine, heroin and cocaine. The arrest of the drug addict in
many cases is both humanitarian and economic, inasmuch as,
upon reliable information, cocaine addicts being subject to vio-
lent hallucinations approaching a state of insanity are dan-
gerous, and often adopt violent methods both in the commis-
sion of crime or when about to be placed under arrest.
Detection and apprehension of those engaged in narcotic
drug distribution or consumption require extreme patience
and ingenuity, inasmuch as narcotic peddlers or users, knowing
that they are under the surveillance of the police, attempt to
conceal their movements and methods. The police are handi-
capped by the fact also that many drug distributors are not
drug addicts. Distribution of narcotic drugs in this city has
been reduced to a favorable minimum, obtained because of the
intelligent and conscientious work of the police in general and
those especially assigned to narcotic drug work.
Fireaiims.
The use and display of firearms having become an impor-
tant factor in the commission of serious crimes and having de-
veloped into a typically American practice, constant watch
and careful supervision of the various sources of the sale and
distribution of dangerous weapons is imperative. Possession
and use of firearms, guns and other dangerous implements in
many instances being necessary, imperative and lawful, and
inasmuch as it is axiomatic that "every man's home is his
castle," it is obvious that the proper means of safeguarding the
homes of citizens should always l>e available. On the other
hand, however, indiscriminate permission and promiscuous
license to carry on the person or in vehicles dangerous weapons
should lie carefully avoided because of the apparent possi-
bility of danger of great abuses arising therefrom. The
1927.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 9
ability to obtain easily firearms and dangerous weapons by
certain classes has resulted in the practice by undesirables of
using dangerous weapons either to protect or pursue illegal
businesses from rum-running to hold-ups. Pursuit of sport
to encourage the use of firearms, pistols and other similar
weapons on one hand is laudable and should be encouraged,
but the right of citizens to safety and security should not be
abrogated, diminished or endangered in order that a minority
may be amused. If the rights and privileges of gun clubs and
other sporting organizations are restricted through a general
tightening of the laws relating to the possession or purchase of
firearms, it may be unfortunate for the devotees of this par-
ticular pastime, but the rights of individuals must always be
suspended or limited for the rights and safety of the majority.
Promiscuous and indiscriminate sale of firearms, whether at
wholesale or retail, should be strictly regulated. The legis-
lature of Massachusetts last year, by constructive and effec-
tive legislation, aided governmental agencies endeavoring to
limit and control the distribution of dangerous weapons, and
remedial legislation enacted relative to the sale and purchase
of firearms affords notable check to the police upon the in-
discriminate sale of such merchandise.
Federal legislation is required, however, in the matter of
firearms in transit by mail in interstate commerce and the im-
portation of firearms from foreign countries. Naturally, con-
siderable opposition to federal legislation upon this subject
has developed. At the present time, several bills relative to
firearms in interstate trade are in Congress in various stages of
progress. Last year a conference was held in New York City
at which police officials of the various eastern states gathered
for the purpose of emphasizing and impressing upon Congress
the necessity of immediate legislation upon the subject of the
forbiddance of transit of firearms by mail and the importance
of such legislation has been emphasized in many of the lead-
ing newspapers and periodicals of this country.
Several reputable mail-order houses, realizing the inevitable
consequences of such unlimited and unchecked distribution
of firearms by mail, have wisely discontinued the mails as a
medium for the deliver}' of such articles. Unfortunately,
other concerns engaged in selling firearms generally of foreign
make, almost unexceptionally inferior in grade and cheap in
price, have not the same perspective or viewpoint on this
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
subject, with the result that firearms may be obtained through
the mail by irresponsible and often abnormal persons from
such dealers with places of manufacture or business outside
this Commonwealth. The eastern states have taken the ini-
tiative in this matter and are endeavoring, in the absence of
federal legislation, to promote state legislation along these
lines by campaigns of education in states which have not taken
steps in legislative progress upon this subject. When im-
pediments are placed in the way of a purchaser who, because
of criminality, abnormality or juvenility is unfit to carry a
firearm, serious crimes may be in many eases averted. In my
opinion, legislation should be passed to correct a serious de-
fect in the present law which allows ammunition to be sold to
minors over the age of fifteen years. Under the present law
of this state, a minor cannot obtain a permit to carry a firearm
except an employee of a bank or a public utility corporation.
The privilege accorded to this class of minors is granted be-
cause of the control which this stated type of employer natu-
rally exercises over the person selected to be licensed to cam-
firearms, and because the licensee, although a minor, is a per-
son who has been considered by responsible authorities to be
a person fit to carry deadly weapons. I believe the law should
be further changed so that no minor should be allowed to buy
ammunition for firearms unless he also has a license to cam-
a firearm.
The solution of many desperate crimes by the police, while
ordinarily difficult, is in many cases made more laborious and
mystifying by the fact that the trail of the perpetrator, often
wounded or injured in the commission of the crime, is fre-
quently covered by medical assistance to the criminal ren-
dered by physicians who either through indifference or design
fail to notify the police of such aid. This statement is not an
indictment of the medical profession, but inasmuch as every
profession, trade or business has members not actuated by
proper ethical motives, it is the unfortunate experience of the
police to find that the medical profession is not free from shady
practitioners. Legislation requiring physicians or persons
controlling sanatoriums to report to the local police when aid
has been rendered for wounds or burns caused by guns or
firearms, in my opinion would aid the police in more rapidly
detecting criminals. The legislature of New York last year
passed similar legislation, and I believe that the reputable
1927.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 11
medical practitioners or medical societies of this Common-
wealth ■will not oppose legislation of this type, while the pas-
sage of such legislation will coercively control members of the
medical profession whose type of practice is more or less under
police surveillance.
In order to impress more deeply upon the understanding of
those individuals who perpetrate crime, and to give the citi-
zens of this state the satisfaction of knowing that their in-
terests are paramount to those of criminals, I believe in the
passage in this state of legislation similar to that which was
passed in New York relative to the graduated scale of punish-
ment of persons arres.ted in the commission of a felony while
armed with a pistol or other dangerous weapon. According
to reputable authorities, the passage of this legislation in New
York demonstrated in a very short time that terror had been
stricken into the hearts of criminals whose chief purpose was
persistence in the practice of terrorizing peaceful citizens of
the community.
Traffic.
An efficient police department primarily prevents crime or,
after crime has been committed, detects and apprehends the
criminal offenders. Efficient management of private business
corporations provides for future growth. Police departments
necessarily must progress and coordinate with advancements
in business. A traffic problem did not exist in Boston twenty
years ago. Today, proper and efficient control of vehicular
and pedestrian traffic, not only because of advancement in
business activities and the necessity of safeguarding the pub-
lic, but because of the increasing number of police officers
needed for traffic work, is an outstanding problem with which
all municipal authorities are confronted.
The importance or magnitude of a traffic problem is rarely
realized by the general public. Direction of traffic either by
manual effort, beacons, lights, or synchronizing systems, pre-
sents one aspect of this problem. On the other hand, rational
enforcement of the various traffic laws, rules or regulations
cannot be accomplished by mechanical devices but requires
personal service. Pertinent to the traffic problem, which in
the last analysis means the orderly flow of both vehicular and
pedestrian traffic, the necessity of eliminating illegal and un-
necessary parking of vehicles is apparent. Unrestrained and
12 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
uncontrolled parking of vehicles not only detrimentally affects
the growth and development of business, but also seriously in-
terferes with the operation of various governmental agencies
engaged in the protection or safeguarding of both private and
municipal property. Vehicular parking for an unlimited time
on a thoroughfare which should be devoted to the passage of
commercial vehicles is about as logical as dumping a cartload
of paving blocks upon the same spot and forgetting to remove
it.
Strict enforcement of traffic laws cannot be neglected inas-
much as orderly control of traffic spells prevention of acci-
dents, the latter causing traffic tangles and consequent delays,
and also unnecessarily requiring the service of police officers
who are thus temporarily diverted from more important police
duties.
During the past year, 2,235 vehicles were licensed as hack-
ney carriages with 4,031 licensed drivers. As most of these
vehicles are operated where traffic is densest, their control and
supervision, not taking into consideration the additional work
in the investigation of applications for licenses of hackney
carriage drivers and the careful allocation and licensing of the
various special stands for hackney vehicles, requires the con-
stant supervision of a separate unit.
Automobiles temporarily appropriated for selfish reasons
and subsequently abandoned, often in a damaged condition,
in places obstructing traffic, place an additional burden upon
the police. Records of this department show during the past
year that approximately 3,700 automobiles were found aban-
doned in the streets of this city by the police.
Increase in school population and school buildings neces-
sarily requires more police officers to protect school children at
crossings. This obligation, with similar protection to the
aged and infirm, is justly demanded from the police by the
tax payers of this city. Boston, unlike some other cities, has
not the advantage of laws against "jay walking." With the
continual increase in the number of automobiles, pedestrian
control by the police has become more arduous inasmuch as
density of vehicular traffic produces greater density of pedes-
trian traffic as the more populous sections of this city are built
around or in the vicinity of renin arteries of travel.
Mechanical control of traffic is replacing to a great extent
manual traffic direction. Education of the public to obedi-
1927.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 13
ence to the operation of mechanical traffic signals, as expected,
has been successful. In the working out of the traffic prob-
lem, knowledge of the various lighting systems in other cities
of this country is valuable. The installation in this city of a
system of synchronized lights directed under the progressive
system, as an economic measure, cannot be delayed. The cost
of installing a system of electrical traffic control under the
present law requiring that the wires operating such a system
shall be laid underground, would seem to be prohibitive. A
possible solution of this problem could be effected if a system
of electric traffic control were linked to the present plant of a
public utility corporation operating with fixed conduits for
wires.
During the past year twenty-four spot lights were installed,
making a total of one hundred and twenty-three spot lights
set up by this department for the protection of traffic officers.
Experimental work also relative to the adoption of flood lights
to eliminate the glare of the present spot lights has been carried
on.
The two traffic divisions of this department were increased
by the addition of eighty men from the additional 300 added
to the department during the past year. At the present time,
47 men are assigned to enforcing the parking laws and other
officers will be placed in the traffic divisions in the near future.-
The present personnel of these two divisions is 2 captains, 2
lieutenants, 12 sergeants and 254 patrolmen. Continuous
traffic service has been inaugurated.
I desire again to publicly thank Gifford LeClear, Esq.,
chairman of Committee on Street Traffic and Municipal and
Metropolitan Affairs of the Boston Chamber of Commerce,
and Ellerton J. Brehaut, Esq., assistant secretary of the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce, for the valuable advice given me
in the study of the traffic problems of this city and for their
efficient service in the installation of beacons and lighting
systems for the expedition of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
sale by the pouce of unclaimed or abandoned
Phopebtt.
Yearly increase in the number of automobiles registered in
this state, a large percentage of which has been fairly esti-
mated to enter Boston at some period of the license year, not
only increases police work because of the necessity of directing
14 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
the same, but also increases the possibility of cars either being
stolen deliberately for resale or misappropriated for temporary
use and enjoyment. The number of cars abandoned on the
streets of this city is increasing yearly. Many of these cars,
because reported to the police as lost or stolen, can be promptly
and readily restored to owners, but inasmuch as owners of
cars so taken sometimes do not live in this city, temporary
storage must be arranged by the police until the owner arrives
after receiving notice to repossess.
Automobiles necessarily cannot be left out-of-doors in in-
clement weather and therefore many cars found abandoned
must be stored in public garages. It is found that many
abandoned cars are damaged in the illegal operation of the
same, and the owners, incensed justifiably, sometimes refuse
for this reason to repossess the cars from the garage in which
they are stored in good faith by the police. Storage space
must be paid for and the city of Boston should not be obliged
to pay for the storage of cars when the owner is known and
has been notified where his property may be located. De-
mands by the police to owners to repossess their property
often have been met with refusal and as the law now stands,
the owner of a stolen or abandoned car, placed in a garage by
the police, may enjoy free storage for an entire winter season
by refusing to repossess the same, with the city obligated for
the payment of the storage.
The owner of an automobile which ha* been stolen or used
unlawfully and found abandoned by the police, who refuses
to repossess his property after receiving written notice of its
location by the police, should, in all fairness, after at least six
months from the time of receiving notice, lose the right to re-
possess the same, and the police department should have the
authority and right to sell these cars in order to release the
lien of the garage owner for the fair charge for storage thereon.
At the present time there is no space available in this de-
partment for the storage of a large number of cars and the
increasing number of abandoned and lost cars necessarily,
therefore, must be 6tored in private garages or warehouses.
Celeritt in- Dispatching Police Information.
Rapidity of interchange of important police information be-
tween police departments of this state is essential. Inasmuch
as the means of rapid exchange is available either by telephone,
1927.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 15
telegraph or special communicating systems, a system oper-
ated from a central distributing station either at the State
House or at Police Headquarters, Boston, should be installed.
A similar recommendation was made by me in my last three
annual reports.
Important communications can be sent to the various units
of this department in an exceptionally short time, but con-
fining the rapid diffusion of police news to the confines of this
city, in view of the present use of automobiles by criminals in
the commission of crimes, is futile. Crime is seldom discov-
ered upon its execution and delay in the disclosure of com-
mission of serious crime permits many criminals using auto-
mobiles to be removed far from the scene of the crime soon
after commission.
A central communicating system with antenna stretching
to the boundaries of this state and with branches to the im-
portant cities and towns, should replace the present clumsy
and cumbersome method of relaying important criminal in-
formation to adjacent or distant police departments. Police
methods and systems should progress steadily and methods
employed in the apprehension of criminals should be in ad-
vance of those used by criminals today in committing crime.
Assaults on Police Officers.
The underlying principle of stable government is respect by
its citizens for constituted law and authority. While indi-
vidual freedom with its accompanying prerogatives of free
speech and independence of action, guaranteed by the Consti-
tution, must be carefully guarded in order that democratic
government may exist, yet unlimited and unbridled license for
personal activities produces disorder and chaos.
In Great Britain the police on duty without firearms rep-
resent the Sovereign and malicious attacks upon police officers
carry rapid and severe punishment. In this country, unfor-
tunately, respect for authority does not always obtain. Delay
of trial and sympathy for the criminal with outspoken disre-
spect, antipathy and contempt for the police often produce
judicial travesties.
The police are human and therefore err, but without the
protecting screen of a police department, anarchy ensues.
Unlimited excoriation and abase of police departments by in-
telligent persons because of weaknesses or abuses of individual
16 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
members tend to break down the fabric of the system and
offer to the criminal and undesirable, favorable manna for
their mental nourishment.
Our Honor Roll for the year consists of one officer mur-
dered in cold blood by youthful desperadoes, and three police
officers murderously assaulted by criminals armed with fire-
arms.
As a tribute to the memory of members of this Department
who heroically died in the performance of their duties, an-
nually, on Memorial Day, bronze markers appropriately in-

stand as mute evidence of the bravery and valor of men un-

Plant.
During the past year steam heating systems were installed
in the station houses of Divisions 11 and 17, and the heating
apparatus of all other station houses throughly overhauled,
cleaned and made ready for service.
Work in cleaning and painting was done in Stations 12 and
7 and a new system of lighting was installed in the latter
building.
The usual repairs were made on the harbor boats Guardian,
E. U. Curtis, and Argus. The steamer Watchman, thoroughly
rebuilt, is now in condition for a twenty-four-hour day ser-
vice for a number of years.
Two new motor prison vans and n patrol wagon to serve as
replacements were purchased and placed in commission.
Eight additional police ambulances were requested by me
from the Mayor, through the Board of Municipal Emergencies.
I have made provision in the Department estimates for 1927
for these additional ambulances and 1 hope, if they are allowed,
to put them into commission during the coming year.
A traffic booth with a synchronized system of lights was in-
stalled at the junction of Massachusetts Avenue and Common-
wealth Avenue.
The present antiquated and unsanitary station houses of
Divisions 3, 4 and 5 should be replaced by modern structures.
The Mayor has been requested by me to allow Division 14
and Division 11, respectively, to occupy the premises now
used for court purposes in the Brighton and Dorchester dis-

tricts after these courts are installed in their new buildings in
said districts. This additional space is urgently needed inas-
much as the number of officers assigned to these two divisions
has been materially increased.
I have also discussed with the Mayor the necessity of a large
central garage where both the cars of this Department and
cars found abandoned by the police may be stored and thus
eliminate the unnecessary large expenditure for storage in
private and public garages and storehouses.
The new police headquarters building situated at Berkeley
and Stuart streets was dedicated on November 22, 1926.
This building is seven stories in height above the street with
basement and sub-basement. The exterior is treated in
Italian Renaissance style with limestone on the Berkeley and
Stuart street facades and a light-colored brick on Stanhope
Street and the Court. The interior with regard to rooms,
corridors, and stair towers is of modern office building design
with sanitary floors and fireproof construction throughout.
The building is heated by return tubular boilers supplied by
oil for fuel. The main facade is on Berkeley Street set back
from the lot line about twenty feet. The Stuart Street fagade
is on the property line at the sidewalk and adjoins the present
building of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company. The
cornerstone of the building was laid August 25, 1925, with
appropriate ceremonies.
Very respectfully,
HERBERT A. WILSON,
Police Commissioner for the City of Boston.

Bureau of Criminal Investigation*.
The "identification room" now contains 67,085 photographs,
55,706 of which are photographs with BertiHon measurements,
22 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
a system used by the Department since November 30, 1898.
In accordance with the Revised Laws, chapter 225, section 18,
and with the General Laws, chapter 127, sections 27 to 29,
both inclusive, we are allowed photographs with Bertillon
measurements taken of the convicts in the State Prison and
Reformatory, a number of which have been added to our
Bertillon cabinets. This, together with the adoption of the
system by the Department in 1898, is and will continue to be
of great assistance in the identification of criminals. A large
number of important identifications have thus been made
during the year for this and other police departments, through
which the sentences in many instances have been materially
increased. The records of 943 criminals have been added to
the records of this Bureau, which now contains a total of
47,051. The number of cases reported at this office which
have been investigated during the year is 40,111. There are
43,256 cases reported on the assignment books kept for this
purpose, and reports made on these cases are filed away for
future reference. The system of indexing adopted by this
Bureau for the use of the Department now contains a list of
records, histories, photographs, dates of arrests, etc., of about
212,000 persons. There are also "histories and press clip-
pings" now numbering 9,330 made by this Bureau, in envelope
form, for police reference.
The finger-print system of identification which was adopted
in June, 1906, has progressed in a satisfactory manner, and
with it the identification of criminals is facilitated. It has
become very useful in tracing criminals and furnishing corrobo-
rating evidence in many instances.

ment, but as the duties are of a special character, the following

Miscellaneous Work.
During the year the employees of this sen-ice responded to
1,848 trouble calls; inspected 515 signal boxes, 18 signal desks
and 955 batteries; repaired 193 box movements, 68 registers,
90 polar box bells, 65 locks, 65 time stamps, 10 stable motors,
8 stable registers, 14 vibrator bells, 9 relays, 11 pole changers
and 9 electric fans, besides repairing all bell and electric light
work at headquarters and the various stations. There have
been made 45 plungers, 53 complete box fittings, 51 line blocks,
55 automatic hooks, 3 stable boards and a large amount of
small work done which cannot be classified. One new signal
box was installed on Division 13 and two on Division 17.
The police signal service now has charge of 123 reflector
spotlights, which have been installed by the Commissioner for
the regulation of traffic, also 3 signal towers.
Most of the prescribed district for 1925 and 1926 affecting
this Department was in South Boston. Cable has been
bought but has not been installed. Box outlets and pole
connections were laid in the summer of 1926, but on account
of the underground and other trouble, both this Department
and the Fire Department have not been able to "pull in"
cable together. This work should be done later this season
or earh' next spring.
Greatly increased use of the automatic answer-back signals
has put added strain on register contacts and other working
parts and the registers have to be constantly repaired. Mea-
sures are being taken to prolong their life until such time as
some one can be found to build new and suitable ones. The
signal desk at Division 4 has been rebuilt and refitted.
There are in use in the signal service: 1 White truck, 1 Ford
sedan and 1 Ford truck.
During the year the automobile patrol wagons made
53,432 runs, covering an aggregate distance of 98,431 miles.
There were 36,661 prisoners conveyed to the station houses,
3,705 runs were made to take injured or insane persons to
station houses, hospitals or their homes and 379 runs were
made to take lost children to station houses. There were
2,869 runs to fires and 698 runs for liquor seizures. During
the year there were 515 signal boxes in use arranged on 72
battery circuits and 72 telephone circuits; 609,328 telephone
messages and 4,426,607 "on duty" calls were sent over the
lines.

REPORT.
Headquarters or tbx Police DmtmtuT,
On ice of the Police Couurasjoxra, 154 Bran.ii Stttt.
Boston, December 1, 1927.
To His Excellency AlVAN T. Fuller, Goi<crnor.
Your Excellency : — As Police Commissioner for the
city of Boston I have the honor to present, in compliance
with the provisions of chapter 291 of the Acts of the year
1906, a report of the Police Department for the year ending
November 30, 1927.
Dispatch of Police News.
Since my incumbency in office as Police Commissioner,
I have repeatedly urged in annual reports the installation
of a state-wide agency for instantaneously and accurately
transmitting important information to the police units
of the surrounding cities and towns of the metropolitan area.
The present method of transmitting information from the
police headquarters in Boston to police departments of out-
side cities and towns by telephonic service is not only archaic
but ineffective, because of the' length of time necessarily
expended in transferring this information and the evident
possibility of mistakes and errors in the reception of important
information transmitted.
Large appropriations are made yearly for the building and
repair of highways in order that the commercial development
of the various sections of this state may be advanced by a
close and rapid intercommunication. It is therefore a logical
conclusion that the cost of installing a new and rapid system
of long distance conveyance of important information to
police departments should not weigh seriously against its
installation, especially when the proper protection and safe-
guarding of the lives and property of the citizens of this
Commonwealth demand it because of the rapid methods and
6 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
means now employed by criminals in the commission of crime.
Clumsy and cumbersome methods of transmitting news
should not be tolerated when modern, effective and expeditions
means exist. The installation of the teletype system has
been considered with the officials of the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, and as a result of conferences
and demonstrations, contracts will be executed for the in-
stallation of the Morkrum Teletype, a modern, scientific
device for the transmission of news, and operating under
the Bell system. Work will be immediately commenced to
install this news printing machine, operating from Police
Headquarters to the various police divisions in Boston,
whereby important information upon being typed upon a
central distributing machine will be instantaneously re-
produced upon a receiving machine in all the police precincts.
Instantaneous, permanent, written records will be made of
information thus translated, eliminating the necessity of
a delayed telephonic grouping of all divisions heretofore!
employed when important news had to be immediately
transmitted.
The installation of this -mechanical device in Boston, I
trust, will be the beginning of its adoption by at least all the
cities and towns in the metropolitan area. Interest in the
installation of this project has been awakened and will in
time undoubtedly result in a hook-up of Boston with all
cities and large towns of this Commonwealth, inasmuch as
the cost of tying-in other cities and towns with Boston is not
prohibitive. Public agencies must imitate public utility
corporations in adopting latest scientific inventions so that
the best service may be rendered to the public. This method
of disseminating news has already been installed in many
large newspaper offices of this country, and its use has been
universally approved.
Pickpockets.
The larger cities and towns of this Commonwealth are
affected by the criminal operations of a commercialized
class of vagabonds known as pickpockets, resulting in large
financial toll from innocent citizens.
Well known pickpockets apprehended while acting in a
suspicious manner, when brought into court, take advantage
of the construction given by some courts to the present
192SJ PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 7
vagabond law (section 68 of chapter 272 of the General Laws),
and because of the failure of the prosecuting officer to prove
a certain preliminary requisite interpolated into the law,
are released to mingle again in crowds with larcenous intent.
Bold and seemingly fearless, many of these rogues are allowed
to roam unmolested, seeking their prey, because the police
know that it is useless to arrest them as vagabonds.
According to section 68, a person known to be a pickpocket,
thief or burglar, if acting in a suspicious manner around a
steamboat landing, railroad depot — place of amusement, etc.,
shall be deemed to be a vagabond. The police after arresting
a pickpocket under such circumstances, must prove in some
courts that he is a well known thief, that he was acting sus-
piciously, and that he has a recent conviction for that offence.
Criminals of this type, in a craft thoroughly organized
and commercialized, if convicted are extremely anxious that
final convictions be not obtained against them and desire
that these be placed on file or the sentences imposed be sus-
pended, or to receive themselves the enshrouding protection
of probation, the application of which to this type of convicted
criminal is both futile and ineffective. A recital of the un-
successful efforts of officers of this department to convict
these modern marauders after trailing them for extensive
periods of time through numerous crowds and gatherings
would be extremely interesting and illuminating to the general
public.
In courts where this preliminary requisite of proof of a
recent conviction has not been interpolated into the law
summary justice can be dealt to this type of miscreant.
This loophole in the law, however, can be remedied by the
enactment of legislation submitted by me this year to the
Legislature similar to the provision of law now in the penal
code of the State of New York known as the "jostling law."
Unfortunately, however, the provision of the New York law,
which gives final jurisdiction to the lower court magistrate,
cannot be enacted into the laws of this Commonwealth,
inasmuch as such a provision of law would violate the pro-
visions of the State constitution.
Pbohibition.
Prohibition is of such paramount interest to the public,
that a summary of police activities in enforcing the prohibi-
8 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
tory laws has become a necessity in the annual reports of police
departments. During the past year, the police of this city
searched upon warrants 4,714 buildings, arrested 3,904
persons either for the illegal sale, keeping and exposing or
transportation of liquor, and arrested 38,794 persons for the
crime of drunkenness induced by the voluntary use of in-
toxicating liquor.
The public naturally is interested in arrests made for
violation of the liquor laws, but unfortunately seldom realizes
the enormous expenditure of time required of the police in
the subsequent prosecution of these liquor violations. An
increasing number of police officers is being assigned to this
particular work, which means necessarily the withdrawal
of police officers from other types of police work necessary
for the protection of the citizens of this city from serious
crime. This department has rendered efficient service in
the enforcement of the State liquor law and would have an
added incentive in this work if more tangible results could be
observed from its efforts. From the total number of liquor
violators exclusive of those convicted of drunkenness, handled
by the department this year, only one hundred twenty-seven
convicted persons were sent to jail. County treasuries,
by the imposition of fines in liquor cases are necessarily
inflated and the criminal business of the various courts
appears well from a monetary standpoint; but the continued
imposition of fines, suspended sentences and probation to
deliberate wrong-doers necessarily lengthens the business
lives of this type of malefactor and gives the lawbreaker
the idea that perhaps not even the courts themselves are
.'eriously disposed in the work of eliminating illegal vendors.
Today, liquor is being sold in establishments where the real
owner of the liquor never appears on the premises, but has
his business conducted for him by a dummy. When this
dummy is arrested and convicted of violation of the liquor
law, another dummy will be used. The public today are
educated to the fact that intoxicatiog liquor that can be bought
illegally is highly injurious and chemically manufactured.
The fact that spurious labels of well known brands of liquor
fail to deceive is a favorable sign and indication that while
the illegal liquor business by the policy of attrition will not
perhaps be wholly eliminated, yet at least it will be kept
well in restraint.

Relattvk to Annuitt to Dependents of Police Officers
Killed in the Performance of Duty.
Justice requires that dependent families of police officers
killed in the performance of duty should be fully protected
and safeguarded when the wage earner is removed either
through acts of criminal violence or from causes beyond
his control while in the conscientious peformance of duty.
Dependents of police officers in this Department, killed
while on duty or dying from injuries received while on duty,
although in a more favorable position than similar dependents
of police officers of other police departments of this State,
in that they arc entitled not only to the sum of $2,500, now
received by dependents of police officers outside of Boston,
but also to an annuity of not more than SG00 a year, — are,
however, not fully recompensed for their loss, inasmuch as
the widow or other dependents, even with these payments,
cannot give the family of the decedent or receive themselves
the comforts and education that would have been obtained
if the police officer had not been killed.
During my incumbency in office, a number of police officers
of this department have been killed in the performance of
duty. To pay to the dependents of police officers the sum
of $2,000 yearly until either the remarriage of the widow,
the attainment of majority of the children or the death of
adult dependents, would not place an undue burden upon a
city or town. In all decency, monetary considerations
should not be regarded, as this annuity should be a testimonial
of the citiiens to the heroic action of the dead officer.
Publie or private subscriptions for the benefit of families of
slain police officers should be unnecessary and now are often
ill timed. Employees of private corporations, under the
workman compensation law, are protected by indemnity
insurance paid for by employers. It is self evident that a
city or town should have some equitable form of insurance
for dependent families of slain police officers, especially in
cases where the slain officer leaves a large family.
The family of a slain police officer should not be the object
of charitable contributions, but should, as a matter of right,
remain in the same financial position immediately after the
head of the house is stricken as it was before his death. The
grief of a family over the loss of a dear one should not be
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
magnified by the attendant fear of pecuniary embarrassment.
A bill has been presented by me to the Legislature whereby
the yearly sum of $2,000 will be paid to the dependents of
police officers killed in the performance of duty.
Automobiles Leased ox a Mileage Basis.
Employment of lawful agencies by criminals to pursue
criminal operations cannot be prevented, but may be super-
vised. New methods employed in the commission of crime
naturally present new problems for the police to solve. Stolen
cars as a means of conveyance in the commission of crime,
have been found by criminals to be a dangerous expedient,
but a convenient substitute for stolen cars, however, is the
leased car. Persons or corporat'ons owning and renting cars
on a mileage basis find ready customers in those criminally
inclined.
Statutory enactment defining the duties of owners of garages
in keeping proper records of cars entering and leaving the
premises was recently passed. While proprietors of this
new industry of leasing cars to be driven by tlic lessee are
not unfriendly to the police and would not deliberately
conceal important information which should be reported,
yet, inasmuch as there is no legal obligation upon them to
record the names or license numbers of operators of cars
leased by them, accurate records arc therefore not kept.
Investigating officers consequently are often unable to obtain
important evidence where clues have been obtained that one
of these leased cars was involved in serious crime. Legis-
lation to remedy this defect I am proposing, realizing the
growth which this particular line of industry is bound to have.
Extortion.
It is a common statement that there arc too many laws
passed by legislative assemblies and that if the laws now in
effect were enforced, additional laws would be unnecessary.
Police experience demonstrates that not only arc there a large
number of laws relating to crime in effect in this Common-
wealth, infringement of which brings little disturbance to the
safety of the community, but, what is more important, that
there are serious defects in important laws relating to crime,
of which criminals, defended by astute counsel, take advantage
in order to escape just and due punishment.
1928.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 11
Blackmailing innocent and wealthy individuals should be
summarily dealt with when the blackmailers are apprehended.
Chapter 265, section 25, of the General Laws, relating to
this type of crime, punishes the perpetrator when he threatens
injury to the person or property of another, but unfortunately
affords no remedy when an attempt is made to terrorize by
threat of death or injury to his child or other relative. Com-
mon sense demands that this condition should not exist,
and I am proposing legislation to take care of this omission.
Traffic.
Regulation and control of pedestrian and vehicular traffic
in this city is decidedly a local problem, dissimilar in its main
features to that of other cities. Considerable work has been
done in widening and straightening several narrow and
winding streets in the business section of the city, but the
increased number of vehicles thus afforded passage and parking
facilities magnifies the police problem of keeping traffic Huent.
On February 7. 1927, at the suggestion of the Mayor's
Traffic Advisor}* Committee, His Honor Malcolm E. Nichols
appointed Dr. Miller McClintoek, Director of the Street
Traffic Survey to l>e made under the auspices of the Albert
Russell Erskine Bureau of Harvard University for the purpose
of conducting an engineering investigation of the traffic
control problems of the city of Boston.
During the year, the Survey has been pursuing studies
designed to reveal the primary causes of accident and con-
gestion within the city and to design on the basis of such facts
a comprehensive system of traffic control to relieve these
conditions. In making this survey, the Police Department
has rendered material assistance, many police officers having
l>een detailed from time to time for the tabulation of traffic
and one traffic sergeant detailed continuously on this work
for the greater part of the year.
Pending the report by the Traffic Survey, all action by the
police department to install any synchronized system of
traffic signals upon main arteries, as suggested in my report
of last year, was suspended. However, sixteen additional
flashing beacons were placed at important intersections,
and fifteen additional spotlights for the protection of traffic
officers on fixed posts were installed during the year, making
a total of 138 spotlights now in operation.
12 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Plant.
On December 4, 1926, the entire personnel and equipment
of Police Headquarters were transferred to the new and com-
modious headquarters building at 154 Berkeley Street. The
activities of this department were not suspended during the
removal through the efficient system adopted for the transfer
of the various units, and the skill exercised in its operation.
Telephone lines were instantly "cut-over" to the new quarters
from the old headquarters building and nil departments
transferred were functioning in the new building a few hours
after the transfer was commenced. Considering the mag-
nitude of the operation with the necessary transfer of hundreds
of thousands of valuable records, books and documents
from the offices of the Police Commissioner, the Super-
intendent, the Chief Inspector, the Chief Clerk, Director
of Signal Service, Inspector of Hackney Carriages, and
Inspector of Claims, great credit is due both to the contractor
effecting the transfer, and to the officials of this department
who planned and cooperated with the contractor in making
this transfer.
During the past year, the police station of the fourteenth
division in Brighton was enlarged by the taking over of space
in the same building previously occupied by the Brighton
District Court. This district now has a large, sanitary and
well equipped station house. The exteriors and interiors
of the station houses of Divisions 1, 4, 6 and the City Prison
were thoroughly cleansed and repainted, and repair work
done on the exteriors of the station houses of Divisions 10
and 3. Three new patrol wagons were installed at Divisions
4, 5 and 12, and the harbor police boats, Guardian, Watchman,
E. U. Curtis and Argus, were reconditioned and repaired
for continuous service.
The general condition of the station houses of Divisions 3,
4, and 5 is not good. These buildings are antiquated and
unfit for police work both in general office and in dormitory
arrangements. The cells in these station houses, located
in the basements, are contrary to law and also unsanitary.
New buildings for these Divisions with proper space for the
conduct of police business, with healthful and sanitary
accommodations for police officers and prisoners as well,
are badly needed, which facts I have stated in my previous
reports.
1928.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 13
The old wooden stable owned by the city of Boston, in the
rear of the old town hall, now used by Division 14 as a garage,
could well be sold and the proceeds of both land and building
used for the erection of a fireproof, eight-car garage in the
rear of the station house.
Plans have been drawn and approved for the enlargement
of the station house of Division 7 in East Boston in connection
with the enlargement of the Court House. This building
at present is tfto small and poorly arranged for the amount
of police business transacted by this division. The proposed
alterations and repairs should be completed forthwith so
that the premises may be made sanitary and adequate for
the carrying on of police business for this district.
Very respectfully,
HERBERT A. WILSON,
Police Commissioner for the City of Boston.

Bureau of Crimixal Ixvestication.
The "identification room" now contains GS.24S photographs,
55.928 of which are photographs with liertiUon measurements,
a system used by the Department since November 30, 1S9S.
In accordance with the Revised Law*, chapter 225, section
IS, and with the General Laws, chapter 127, sections 27 to
29, both inclusive, we are allowed photographs with Bertillon
measurements taken of the convicts in the State Prison and
Reformatory, a number of which have }»<-en added to our*
Bertillon cabinets. This, together with the adoption of the
system by the Department in 1S98, is and will continue to
be of great assistance in the identification of criminals. A
large number of important identifications have thus been
made during the year for this and other ijoliee departments,
through which the sentences in many instances have been
materially increased. The records of 1,375 criminals have been
added to the records of this Bureau, wbirh now contains a
total of 48,426. The number of case* retorted at this office
which have been investigated during the year fa 3S,4 10. There
are 44,789 cases reported on the assignment books kept for
this purpose and reports made on thr-*e case* arc filed away
for future reference. The system of in<5cxing adopted b}-
this Bureau for the use of the Department now contains a
list of records, histories, photograph*. dates of arrests, etc.,
of about 223,000 persons. There are al-o "ht-tories and press
clippings" now numbering 9,857 made by this Bureau, in
envelope form for police reference.
The finger-print system of identification which was adopted
in June, 1906, has progressed in a satisfactory manner, and
with it the identification of criminal.* is facilitated. It has
become very useful in tracing criminal* an<i furnishing corrob-
orating evidence in many instances.

truck has been provided for spotlight and tower work.
Eleven new signal boxes have been installed; one at station
13, two at station II, one at station 17, four at station 18,
three at station 19, six of which arc overhead boxes and

able none has been laid. The underground work done this
year was on the 1925 and 192G prescribed district at South

REPORT.
Hf.ADQUAHTERS OF THE IViLKI DEPARTMENT,
Omcc or the Police Commissioned. 15* Berkeley Street,
Uoston, DecembCT L 1928.
To His Excellency Alvan T. Fixler, Gorernor,
Your Excellency : — As Police Commissioner for the city
of Boston I have the honor to present, in compliance with the
provisions of chapter 291 of the Acts of the year 1906, a report
of the Police Department for the year ending November 30,
1928.
Control of Pedestrian and Vehicular Traffic.
On February 7, 1927, at the suggestion of the Mayor's
Traffic Advisory Committee, Malcolm E. Nichols, Mayor of
Boston, appointed Dr. Miller McClintoek, Director of the
Street Traffic Survey to be made under the auspices of the
Albert Russell Erskine Bureau, Harvard University, to con-
duct an engineering investigation of the traffic control problem
of the city of Boston. The Street Traffic Survey with the aid
of the Police Department worked assiduously and earnestly
upon this problem of traffic solution. Careful compilation of
figures relative to the flow and direction of traffic both vehicu-
lar and pedestrian was obtained with the aid of intelligent
investigators. The problem was considered not hastily but
with the thoroughness and intelligence naturally to be expected
from the traffic expert engaged for this purpose. In June,
1928, a voluminous and comprehensive report was submitted
to the Mayor of Boston by Dr. McClintoek, and after many
consultations and conferences, many of the recommendations
made by the Traffic Survey for the development of celerity
of traffic were adopted by the Board of Street Commissioners
in the form of new traffic rules and regulations issued in Sep-
" I - - t _\.

stop system on Commonwealth Avenue and Blue Hill Avenue
requiring traffic on side streets to come to a complete stop
before entering these main arteries has been put into effect
by orders of the Street Commissioners and Board of Park
Commissioners. The Police Department after having ob-
tained from the State Department of Public Works approval
of the signs and markers to be placed for the purpose of notify-
ing the public of this regulation have been installing the same
on these two avenues. The Legislature of 1928, Chapter 357,
provided for uniform traffic signs, lights, markings, signal
systems and regulations. Under this legislation no rule,
regulation, order, ordinance, or by-law of a city or town herein-
after madc"or promulgated relative to or in connection with
such signs'lights, markings, signal systems or devices, or in
any way within this control can take effect until approved in
writing by the State Department of Public Works, or can be
effective after this approval is revoked.
The adoption of boulevard stops on main arteries is not
only imperative to reduce accidents, but necessary also to
expedite traffic in congested areas. The extension of these
boulevard stops to other main traffic arteries in this city
undoubtedly will be recommended.
Upon the recommendation of the Traffic Survey automatic
timing lights were recommended for installation on Washing-
ton Street and Tremont Street so that traffic can be speeded
up from six to sixteen miles an hour. Plans and specifications
have been prepared by the Engineering Division of the Board
of Street Commissioners, and advertisements for bids have
been made to be received early in January, 1929. The effect
of the installation of this system in these crowded areas both
as regards fluidity of traffic and prevention of accidents, is
at present impossible to foretell. Additional installations of
similar lights upon other main arteries in this city will un-
doubtedly be recommended. During the past year ten spot-
lights were installed in various parts of the city, making a
present total of one hundred and forty-eight spotlights in use.
Several other recommendations of the Survey relative to con-
trol of traffic in the congested areas are now being tested, such
as the adoption of traffic lanes. At this time it is too early
to determine the effect that the adoption of these recom-
mendations will have upon the control of traffic.

t Liquor Nuisances.
A statement in regard to the amount of work done by the
police in enforcing the prohibitory laws, and also of local
liquor conditions, necessarily must be included in the annual
report of this Department. Liquor traffic and street traffic
; control present a continuous problem to the police. Homi-
cides, burglaries and other violent crimes are sporadic, and
may be classified as seasonable police business. Police work
suppressing liquor violations is constant. The increase or
decrease of arrests for drunkenness is regarded by some
' statisticians as a barometer to determine the status of the
liquor problem. These arrests however are not an accurate
gauge of the enormous burden placed upon local police since
the passage of the prohibitory laws.
Arrests cannot be made even though suspicion obtains
that the liquor laws are being violated, for violators cannot
be convicted upon suspicion but only upon direct evidence of
violation of law. The presentation to a magistrate, as proof
of guilt, of a vessel smelling strongly of intoxicating liquor
would be regarded as ridiculous, even though intoxicating
liquor had been hastily poured from this vessel, in the presence
of the police, within a very few seconds before its seizure.
Intoxicating liquor, neutralized by disinfectants, because non-
potable, is worthless as evidence.
If under the laws of the Commonwealth the illegal purchase
of intoxicating liquor was made a criminal offence as is the
illegal sale, considerable caution about violating prohibitory
laws would be exercised by that class of citizens who look for
the strict enforcement by the police of all laws protecting
lives or property. Law enforcement cannot be qualified.
Those who illegally buy intoxicating liquor and stifle their
consciences with the theory that prohibitory laws are not
binding because they abridge personal freedom, should at
least not openly complain of liquor conditions in their respec-
tive communities. Much unwarranted criticism is made of
the police in not terminating liquor traffic. This censure is
most unjust, because often made by individuals or organiza-
tions that are not cognizant of the unlimited odds, obstacles
and difficulties which the police constantly encounter in try-
ing to desiccate wet sections of a city. The liquor problem in
this city has been treated in all my annual reports, and frankly
speaking, the difficult conditions encountered by the police
)
8 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
to arrest liquor traffickers have not diminished but have
increased. Recommendations have been made from time to
time that upon conviction, a violator of the liquor law should
be given a jad sentence. The records of the courts show that
very few liquor violators are sent to jail. Courts believe
that extenuating circumstances often surround the commis-
sion of crime, and are loath therefore to inflict additional
punishment on the families of tho.se convicted and fined for
liquor violations.
Absentee landlordism among liquor traffickers is spreading.
Unfortunate agents hazard reputation and possibly liberty
in dispensing intoxicating liquor for principals who never
frequent premises where liquor is sold illegally. To appre-
hend the principal therefore is practically impossible. Con-
stant raids upon places suspected of illegal liquor traffic with
a possible conviction each time of a different violator is futile
and discouraging work, and accomplishes a vicious circle.
It has been repeatedly advocated by me that the prohibitory
laws of this State should be amended so as to be in accord
with the Volstead Act, in giving governmental authorities
the right and authority to petition courts for injunctive relief
against places where despite continuous police activity illegal
traffic has persisted. The Legislature of li>28 has afforded
relief in equity where, by injunction, owners of property who
have allowed their property to become liquor nuisances can
be held responsible. Proof of a present liquor nuisance and
three prior convictions for liquor traffic upon the premises
within the three prior years enables injunctive relief in closing
the premises for at least one }'ear.
The term "conviction" as used in tlic statute means final
conviction. Where liquor law violators have been placed on
file, or have received suspended sentence, or probation, a
conviction has not been obtained.
Equity proceedings under this legislation have been started
by this Department. Both before and after the commence-
ment of these proceedings many places where illegal liquor
traffic existed have been closed by the voluntary act of the
owner, and illegal liquor business thus discontinued upon the
premises. The effect of the so-called "Padlock Law" cannot
at this early date be predicted. Owners with proper civic
pride will not compel the police to thrash them into an observ-
ance of authority. Methods of attempting to evade the law

i j by moving these liquor nuisances to new places where con-
victions have not been obtained are beginning to appear.
Eventually, however, lessors, it is believed, will appreciate
the fact that a vacant tenement is better than a bad tenant.
Liquor enforcement officers of the Department report that
the liquor situation in Boston is well in hand, and welcome
comparison with any city in this country in the matter of
liquor law enforcement.
Celerity in* Transmitting Police News.
The Morkrum Teletype, a scientific system of transmitting
police information operating under the Bell system has been
in use in this Department for about one year. Messages
relayed from Police Headquarters are instantaneously regis-
tered upon a receiving machine in the various police stations.
The previous clumsy and antiquated method of transmitting
police news has been replaced by efficient and accurate broad-
casting machinery. Intricate machinery such as the teletype
requires occasional repairs. These repairs have been made
both speedily and effectively by the company installing the
teletype system.
This effective method of transmitting news should not be
confined to this city. Conditions under which police must
act are constantly changing. The advent and perfection of
the automobile and other agencies now used by criminals in
the commission of crime have so changed conditions that
speed and accuracy in the dissemination of police news is
imperative. Allowing the criminal to employ new methods
and material in the commission of crime without combating
him with modern methods and machinery is false economy.
Private organizations maintain steady march with changing
economic conditions, and there is no hesitancy on the part of
these organizations to install new methods when increasing
business may be anticipated. The latest scientific instru-
ments, when possible, should be employed by police organiza-
tions either in checking or apprehending criminals. To rely
upon past systems of delivery of messages by telephone or
telegraph is not only antiquated but negligent.
The system of transmission of news by teletype which has
been installed in this city could be utilized as a nucleus to
extend a network of antennae for the conveyance of important
messages to the police departments of the Commonwealth.
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Delay in the prosecution of criminals by the invocation of
intricate legal technicalities cannot be attributed (o the
police, but to permit criminals to escape from the confines of
this Commonwealth after the commission of crime, because of
inadequate broadcasting, would be unfortunate.
Police Property.
During the past year the exterior and interior of the station
houses attached to Divisions 15 and 16 were thoroughly
cleansed and repainted, and also the garage and stable of
Division 16. The police stable on Albany Street used by
Traffic Division 20 for stabling horses has been abandoned,
and the twenty-six saddle horses of this Department arc now
quartered at the stable attached to Division 16. The offices
of station houses of Divisions 11 and 12 were remodeled to
take care of increased business. Repair work was done on the
garage attached to Division 11; also considerable repairs to
the exterior of station house of Division 9.
All boats attached to Division 8 were overhauled, and
placed in condition for continuous service. The heating
apparatus at Headquarters and at all the station houses wai
inspected and repaired during the summer. The new type of
patrol wagons was placed at Divisions 7, 10, 11, 13 and 16,
and 52 motorcycles were purchased by the Department, mak-
ing a total of 66 motorcycles available for police work.
New garages at Station 14, situated in Brighton, and Sta-
tion 12, situated in South Boston, are greatly needed. As
stated in my report of last year, the old wooden building
owned by the city of Boston in the rear of the old Town Hall,
now used by Division 14 as a garage, could be sold, and the
proceeds of both land and building used for the erection of a
fireproof eight-car garage in the rear of the station house.
A new garage is necessary for the motor vehicles and motor-
cycles used by Division 12. Storing motor vehicles used by
Division 12 in the garage of Station 6, South Boston, should
in the interest of better policing be discontinued.
The police steamer Guardian, which has been in continuous
police service since October, 1S96, except for short intervals
for overhauling, must be replaced by another boat. The
boilers of the Guardian are not in good condition, and parts
of the hull show signs of rot and decay. The policing of the
waterfront and harbor is an important part of the work done
(:
1929.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 11
by this Department, and with the advent of prohibition addi-
tional work has been placed upon the Harbor police. The
expenditure of a large amount of money to overhaul the
Guardian would be both uneconomic and unprofitable. If
it be forced out of sen-ice because of condemnation proceed-
ings by the Federal Government, a replacement by another
vessel would be absolutely necessary, inasmuch as the three
other boats attached to the harbor service and patrol would be
insufficient for the service required. The building of a
modern boat, designed for police purposes, is preferable to
buying at auction or at private sale a vessel either now in
service or temporarily in drydock. The question of building
a new boat has been presented to the Mayor of Boston, and
this recommendation is now under consideration.
Pensions to Police Officers.
Members of both fire and police departments are con-
stantly exposed to personal injury and for fatal injuries
received while in the performance of duty their dependents
should be amply protected. Amounts received under the
present pension law bj- dependents of deceased police officers,
in my opinion, are not sufficient. It is reasonable to believe,
however, that in the future this matter will be worked out
satisfactorily by the Legislature of this Commonwealth.
A variance exists in the law retiring on pension police officers
in this department because of permanent disability from in-
juries received in the performance of duty. All police officers
appointed to the Boston Police Department since 1923,
automatically become members of the Boston Retirement
System, and, if retired because of permanent disability, must
undergo a yearly physical examination by a medical board
functioning under the Boston Retirement Act. Many mem-
bers of the force are not members of this Boston Retirement
System, and if permanently injured in the performance of
duty are retired under the provisions of chapter 353 of the
Acts of 1892, as amended by chapter 306 of the Acts of 1900,
and chapter 6 of the Acts of 1920. These men are not subject
to a subsequent yearly examination as to their fitness for
reinstatement and restoration to duty.
In time of emergency the Police Commissioner has the
power to recall to duty for temporary service officers who have
been pensioned, but this does not grant him the power to recall
12 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
retired officers for permanent service. In 1927, legislation
was passed (chapter 257 of the Acts of 1927), requiring a
yearly physical examination of firemen in Boston who have
been retired under pension laws other than the Boston Retire-
ment Act of 1922. It appears equitable that the provision of
law relating to the pension of police officers in the city of
Boston should be the same in the case of all members of the
force who have been retired because of physical disability.
Legislation to this effect has lieen introduced by me to the
incoming Legislature.
Additional Police Officers.
The present maximum strength of this department is 2,024
patrolmen. The number of police officers available for patrol
work is always seven-eighths of the total force, inasmuch as
every police officer is entitled to one day off in eight. The
sickness list necessarily increases during the winter months.
During the summer and fall months, especially during the
vacation period which extends from May to December, there
are at times, nearly 500 men unavailable, one-eleventh of the
force being on vacation and one-eighth of the remainder on a
day off.
With increase in construction of schoolhouses, more police
officers are required to protect school children. All school
crossings, at the present time, are not covered, because of
shortage of police officers. Even when all available officers
are used for this purpose, it often requires the withdrawal of
patrolmen from important special work to which they have
been assigned.
Control of vehicular and pedestrian traffic at an increased
number of traffic points presents a difficult problem because
of the limited number of police officers to assign to this work.
Installation of synchronized lights will not eliminate the neces-
sity of traffic officers at intersections equipped with such a
lighting system, because police officers will be required for
some time at every intersection to enforce obedience to the
signals and to render police service in case of accidents.
At the present time 32 police officers have been assigned
to enforce the parking regulations promulgated by the Board of
Street Commissioners. Sufficient evidence must be presented
to satisfy the Court in eases of illegal parking. Police officers
must know the time when a car was parked at a certain point,
!/
I
1929.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 13
and tho time of departure. This requires police officers to
confine their work to a small area, for courts will not accept
estimates of the length of time of parking by persons cited
into court for illegal parking. For this work at least 100 men
arc required if the people are to be made to understand that
parking rules were made to be enforced.
Traffic officers assigned to fixed posts cannot do parking
work and if more officers are to be added to the present park-
ing squad, they must be obtained from divisions where com-
manding officers arc continually asking for additional officers
for patrol work.
Traffic and route officers are necessarily obliged to go to
court in the prosecution of cases and while there, important
traffic posts cannot be manned or routes patrolled.
Control of hackney carriages operated in this city (2,667
taxicabs and 7 horse-drawn carriages, and 4,537 licensed
hackney carriage drivers) requires additional officers. The
duty and responsibility of licensing all hackney carriage
drivers and carriages rests upon the Police Commissioner.
Before these licenses arc granted an investigation is made of
the character of the applicant and also an examination of the
vehicle licensed. Supervising officers are necessary so that
the traveling public may be protected. The present staff of
police officers assigned to this work necessarily has been
drawn from police divisions. Proper supervision of the
operations of these licensees requires a larger number of
officers than at present assigned.
Claims against the city of Boston are investigated by the
Inspector of Claims with the assistance of police officers.
The number of claims against this city has increased enor-
mously during the past five years and additional men drawn
from the various divisions have been added to this unit.
The District Attorney of Suffolk County files requests
for the services of police officers of this department to bring
back to this jurisdiction prisoners desired for trial. These
requests have always been honored and a considerable with-
drawal of police officers from this department from patrol work
has necessarily ensued.
A Special Scmce Squad of 20 men under the direct charge
of a captain has been created for the purpose of night patrol
duty in motor vehicles. That their services have been of
great value cannot be gainsaid as hundreds of stolen autorao-
14 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
biles have been recovered and many bandits and hold-up
men captured. The personnel of this organization is of men
from the various divisions. At present there is only one shift.
The number of officers attached to this unit should be increased
so that another night-shift could be formed.
Conditions today require more police officers than in the
past. The advent of the automobile and its use in the com-
mission of crime has presented new and alarming problems
for the police.
Concurrent action of the Mayor of Boston and the Police
Commissioner is required in order to increase the present
number of patrolmen in this department. I have requested
150 additional police officers of the Mayor and that request
is now under advisement.
Very respectfully,
HERBERT A. WILSON,
Police Commissioner {or the City of Boston.

18 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
The number of arrests for the year was 95,807, being ati
increase of 6,929 over last year, and 8,603 more than the
average for the past five years. There were 39,048 persons
arrested for drunkenness, being 2-54 more than last year, and
220 more than the average for the past five years. Of the
arrests for drunkenness this year, there was an increase of .68
per cent in males and a decrease of .20 per cent in females
from List year. (See Tables X, XII.)
Of the total number of arrests for the year, 95,807, 167 were
for violation of city ordinances; that is to say that one arrest
in 205 was for such offence, or .48 per cent.
Sixty-one and four hundredths per cent of the persons
taken into custody were between the ages of twenty and forty.
(See Table X.)
The number of persons punished by fines was 33,812 and the
fines amounted to $493,577. (See Table XII.)
One hundred persons were committed to the State Prison,
2,772 to the House of Correction, 47 to the Women's Prison,
135 to the Reformatory Prison, and 2.738 to other institutions.
The total years of imprisonment were 2,446 years, 10
months, 27 days (322 sentences indefinite); the total number of
days' attendance at court by officers was 59,739, and the
witness fees earned by them amounted to §14,790.26.
The value of the property taken from prisoners and lodgers
was $277,094.57.
Twenty witnesses were detained at station houses, 192 were
accommodated with lodgings, a decrease of 6 from last year.
There was an increase of 10.61 per cent in the number of sick
and injured persons assisted, and a decrease of about 13.42
per cent in the number of lost children cared for.
The average amount of property reported stolen in and out
of the city for the five years from 1924 to 1928, inclusive,
was $1,787,449.76, in 1928 it was $1,516,623.37, or $270,826.39
less than the average. The amount of property stolen in
and out of the city, which was recovered by the Boston police,
was $2,881,110.36, as against $2,100,248.24 last year, or
$7S0362.12 more. (Sec Table XII.)
Bcreau of Criminal Investigation.
The "identification room" now contains 69,980 photographs,
56,521 of which are photographs with Bertillon measurements,
a system used by the Department since. November 30, 1898.

1929.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 19
In accordance with the Revised Laws, chapter 225, section 18,
and with the General Laws, chapter 127, sections 27 to 29,
both inclusive, we are allowed photographs with Bertillon
measurements taken of the convicts in the State Prison and
Reformatory, a number t>f which have been added to our
Bertillon cabinets. This, together with the adoption of the
system by the Department in 1898, is and will continue to be
of great assistance in the identification of criminals. A large
number of important identifications have thus been made
during the year for this and other police departments, through
which the sentences in many instances have been materially
increased. The records of 1,033 criminals have been added
to the records of this Bureau, which now contains a total of
49,459. The number of cases reported at this office which
have been investigated during the year is 33,838. There are
46,594 cases reported on the assignment books kept for this
purpose and reports made on these cases are filed away for
future reference. The system of indexing adopted by this
Bureau for the use of the Department now contains a list of
records, histories, photographs, dates of arrests, etc., of
about 234,600 persons. There are also "histories and press
clippings" now numbering 10.275 made by this Bureau, in
envelope form for police reference.
The finger-print system of identification which was adopted
in June, 1906, has progressed in a satisfactory manner, and
with it the identification of criminals is facilitated. It has
become very useful in tracing criminals and furnishing cor-
roborating evidence in many instances.
The statistics of the work of this branch of the service
are included in the statement of the general work of the De-
partment, but as the duties are of a special character, the
following statement will be of interest : —

Boston-. Dt-cember I. 1929.
To His Excellency Frank G. Allen. Governor.
Your Excellency: — As Police Commissioner for the city
of Boston I have the honor to present, in compliance with the
provisions of chapter 291 of the Acts of the year 1906 a report
of the Police Department for the year ending November 30,
1929.
Traffic.
On February 7, 1927, the Director of the Street Traffic
Survey under the auspices of the Albert Russell Erskine
Bureau of Harvard University, after careful investigation
with competent assistants and with a full measure of police
co6()eration submitted a comprehensive report to the Mayor
of Boston relative to traffic conditions in this city. The
Board of Street Commissioners, the municipal body at that
time authorized to make rules and regulations affecting the
vehicular and pedestrian traffic of this city, adopted the
recommendations of the survey.
Among the recommendations adopted was the boulevard
stop system, a traffic aid previously recommended by me in
my annual report to the Governor and later to the Board
of Street Commissioners. Special markers for the same were
approved by the Department of Public Works of the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts and the system put into effect
with favorable results on Commonwealth and Blue Hill
Avenues.
The Boston Traffic Commission was created by legislative
act on April 26, 1929, which became effective May 26, 1929.
The personnel of the commission consists of a Commissioner
appointed by the Mayor, and as associate commissioners:
6 POLICE COMMISSIONER [Jan.
the Police Commissioner, Commissioner of Public Works,
Park Commissioner and the Chairman of the Board of Street
Commissioners. The body now has control of vehicular
traffic with power to erect and maintain traffic signs, markers
and traffic control devices, and also authority to adopt, amend
and repeal all existing rules pertaining to the control of
vehicular traffic. The Commission has reconsidered, revised
and adopted the former rules and regulations to render
traffic more fluid and to prepare for traffic emergencies.
An appropriation of $125,000 was made by the City Council
of Boston, the plans were completed and the work has been
started on the synchronization of traffic lights on Washington
Street from Broadway to Haymarket Square, on Cambridge
Street from Temple Street to Scollay Square, on Tremont
Street from Scollay Square to Broadway, and on Boylston
Street from Washington Street to Arlington Street. Ap-
propriations of (1) $125,000 have been granted for the in-
stallation of this system of traffic lights on Massachusetts
Avenue between Tremont Street and the Harvard Bridge,
(2) $125,000 for traffic lights on Commonwealth Avenue
between Arlington Street and Governor Square, and (3)
$100,000 for the installation of automatic traffic lights in
the suburban district* at dangerous intersections. The
installation of this system of traffic lights on Shawmut
Avenue between Roxbury Street and Broadway, and on
Centre Street, West Roxbury, has been urged by the Police
Commissioner for some time. Automatic traffic signals will
not eliminate the nectswity of man power at congested
traffic intersections where pedestrian traffic must be con-
trolled and protected and police aid rendered in case of ac-
cidents.
Jurisdiction over hackney carriages (taxicabs) remains
with the Police Commi«rioner who has cooperated with the
Traffic Commission as to the allocation of hackney carriage
stands so that as far a* possible, there may be conformity
with the rules governing traffic.
Control of hackney carriages carries a twofold duty; first:
the necessity to see that the public are properly served with
taxicab service in all sections of the city, and second: that
traffic is not impeded or congested because of unnecessary
taxicab traffic in the congested parts of the city. On No-
vember 30, 1922, there were 1,401 licensed hackney carriages
1030.) PUBLIC DOCUMENT— Xo. 40. 7
ami 1,673 operators. On November 30, 1020, there were
2,030 licensed hackney carriages and 4,803 operators.
Legislation to make all hackney carriage stands public,
to be used by all hackney carriage drivers, was defeated,
but a commission was appointed to investigate the question
of taxicab service and regulation in the city of Boston. Several
hearings were held where all the parties concerned were given
a right to express their views. The reports of this Com-
mission will be forwarded to the incoming legislature. Care-
ful study of the situation in cities where all hackney stands
are public proved that the public stands benefit only the
few who have obtained them by means similar to seques-
tration and are of no financial benefit to the majority of
taxicab operators. Continuous cruising of operators in
search of a vacant and profitable stand would cause traffic
congestion and render more difficult traffic control by the
police.
Liquor Law Enforcement.
The liquor situation in Boston compares favorably with
other cities in this country.
Constant effort was made by the department during the
past year to suppress illegal liquor traffic. 4,727 buildings
were searched upon warrants, 3,047 persons arrested for tha
violation of the state prohibitory laws and 33,011 persons
arrested for drunkness.
Enforcement of the liquor law, however, is becoming more
difficult because the illegal sale of liquor is now being ef-
fected more secretly, and because of the almost insur-
mountable difficulty encountered by police officers in ob-
taining evidence of liquor violations in barricaded and
fortified places. Police officers of this Department are
forbidden to drink intoxicating liquor to obtain evidence of
liquor violations. The increased activity of the police has
forced proprietors of liquor nuisances to remove their estab-
lishments from the street to barricaded second and third
floors of buildings. This ruse gives them more time to
destroy liquor evidence in case of sudden raids by the police.
Time is of the essence to operators of liquor nuisances.
Liquor poured into containers filled with chemicals, cannot
l>e used as evidence in prosecutions for violation of the liquor
laws.
S POLICE COMMISSIONER [Jan.
It is indeed unfortunate that the police arc seldom able
to apprehend proprietors of liquor nuisances because they
are rarely seen upon the premises anil arc invariably absent
when their unfortunate agents arc trapped.
The question of the repeal of the so-called "Baby Volstead
Act" will come before the legislature thin year. This Act
was passed in 1923 to further strengthen the existing state
liquor law, and made transportation and manufacture of
intoxicating liquor without a permit a criminal offence.
Repeal of this law would seriously cripple the work of this
department.
The police alone cannot stop violations of the prohibitory
laws. When the police have detected and apprehended
violators of the liquor laws and have presented evidence to the
court, they have fulfilled their part of the liquor enforcement
problem. Whether habitual offenders convicted of violations
of the liquor laws continue in their practices is a problem
for the courts to solve. Fines indicted as punishment for
liquor violations can be charged to overhead expense. Im-
prisonment or fear of imprisonment awes liquor violators,
but liquor violators have little respect for law and less for
enforcement officers when they know that upon conviction,
only fines undoubtedly will be imposed. The police alone
cannot close liquor nuisances, suspected houses of ill fame
or any other place suspected of carrying on illegal business.
When such evidence as the police may have regarding such
illegal business is presented to the court their power ends.
During the past year 3,947 liquor cases, exclusive of
drunkenness, were obtained by this department. 293
persons were sentenced to jail and of this number 239 sen-
tences were suspended. 1,4C5 persons were fined and 132
of these fines were suspended. 579 persons received fines
and imprisonment, and of these, 483 imprisonments and 3
fines were suspended. A total of 150 persons were imprisoned
for violation of the state prohibitory laws during the past
year, 955 persons were found not guilty, and the balance of
the cases disposed of other than by fine or imprisonment.
162 of these eases are now pending. The police cannot be
expected to suppress liquor violations unless persistent
offenders against the prohibitory laws, when convicted, arc
sent to jaiL
Although illegal transportation of liquor is now a criminal
1930.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 9
offence, many motor vehicles seized for illegal transportation
of liquor, the operators of which were convicted, have been
returned, by order of the court, to the owners because the
operator was not convicted of keeping and exposing liquor
for sale in the vehicle used for illegal transportation of liquor.
No motor vehicle can be forfeited as an implement of sale
unless the operator is not only convicted of transporting
liquor illegally but also convicted of keeping and exposing
liquor illegally for sale in the vehicle.
Before conviction can be obtained for illegal keeping and
exposing liquor for sale in a motor vehicle specific evidence
is required that the vehicle is being used as an implement of
sale or that the car was specially built or remodelled for the
purpose of transporting liquor illegally or that the owner
or operator of the seized motor vehicle was a well known
liquor violator. Since December 1, 1928, 60 cars were
seized for illegal transportation of liquor. 47 of these
operators were found guilty of illegal transpoi . tion, 13
cars were confiscated, and orders for return of 40 cars to the
owners or persons entitled to possession, were made. 7 cars
are now in the possession of the Property Clerk of this
department awaiting disposition of the cases upon which the
seizures were made.
Equity proceedings were taken against several places
where liquor nuisances existed and injunctions or "pad-
locks" were obtained. Many cases are now being prepared
and will In? prosecuted during the coming year.
Some property owners have realized the seriousness of
leasing real estate to liquor violators and notice has been
received many times when padlock proceedings were threat-
ened that the liquor law violators have been or would be
ejected. When forced to vacate a location because of
police activities, violators of the liquor law, however, cannot
be prevented from establishing headquarters at places where
liquor convictions have not been obtained. The actual
working of the padlock law has been clearly demonstrated
that the fear of injunction creates a salutary effect upon that
type of property owner who is desirous only of obtaining
revenue from his property without regard to the character
of his tenants.
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER [Jan.
Teletype.
Prevention of crime and apprehension of criminals is
distinctly a police problem. Human agency requires con-
junction with mechanical aids to successfully combat crime.
Police officers from the time of appointment arc instructed
carefully in the methods employed by the criminal. Crime
is progressive in its technique, and new methods and means
used in the commission of crime are ascertained and ex-
plained.
New mechanical devices to expedite or increase business
are accepted and installed by progressive mercantile organ-
izations, and refusal to adopt and install such innovations
means commercial annihilation. Following this business
principle a progressive police department must adopt
mechanical devices useful and necessary either in preventing
or detecting crime or in capturing the criminal.
In several previous reports the teletype system of trans-
mitting information relative to crime has been referred to.
In the twenty-one station houses in this department the
instantaneous reception upon machines of messages relayed
from Headquarters has been of immense value. Arlington,
Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Somerville, Quincy,
Maiden, Melrose and Medford, and the Metropolitan
District Commission already have recognized the value of
this method of disseminating important information relative
to crime, and are now connected by teletype with Police
Headquarters at Boston.
Teletype transmission of news is comparatively instan-
taneous, correct and unfailing, not exposed to the hazards
of atmospheric conditions as is the use of the radio, or subject
to errors or incorrect reception of relayed news as is possible
where the telephone is used.
Plant and Personnel.
Considerable work has been done during the past year
l>oth on the exterior and interior of police buildings carrying
out plans to make station houses and police quarters comfort-
able and sanitary for police officers stationed therein. Neces-
sary repairs, additions and remodelling have been done upon
the station houses of Divisions 3, 5, 10, 11, 15 and 10. At
my request an examination of all police buildings and boats
U^^ 1^ jj^j m
1930] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— Xo. 49. 11
was made by the American LaFrance & Foamite Company,
and their recommendations relative to the placing of oil
extinguishers, alcohol extinguishers and the ordinary fire
extinguishers were carried out. Every cell, door and lock
in station houses and lock-ups has been carefully examined,
repaired and renewed where found necessary.
The rolling stock of the department consisting of seventy-
nine automobiles and seventy-four motorcycles (including
twenty-four of the latter purchased during this year) were
inspected and repaired. Three new motor patrol wagons
specially designed for accident cases and equipped like the
other patrol wagons of the department with first aid kits and
gas mask* were put into commission. The summer uniform
of the entire force was remodelled, and the collar, to insure
comfort, changed from the military to the roll type.
A perpetual stock inventory and cost record was instituted
in the office of the Property Clerk to record the requirements,
distribution and cost of stock used by the department.
The City Council passed an order for a $200,000 loan which
was later appro ved by the Mayor on April 30, 1929, for a
police boat to replace the steamer Guardian which has been
in police service continuously since 1896. The present
unfit condition of the hull and boilers of the Guardian with
the expense of repairing and remodelling the craft demon-
strated clearly that a new boat should be built. The special
harbor service of this boat necessitated it should be of
wooden construction and steam propelled, and to insure
prompt service a radio must be installed. Plans and speci-
fications have been already drawn and proposals for con-
struction will soon be asked for by advertising.
In addition to the patrol boat already in use a gasoline
propelled boat is needed for the purpose of having con-
tinuous service during seven months of the year to protect
the increasing number of valuable yachts and motor boats
ruoored or stored in the harbor proper and surrounding
waters and over which this department has jurisdiction.
The proximity of many bathing beaches to these boat yards,
yacht clubs and maritime associations demands constant
police patrol.
An increase of one hundred and fifty men to take care of
the growing needs of the department and to render proper
jMilic-e service to the congested and outlying districts was
12 POLICE COMMISSIONER [Jan.
requested of the Mayor. Authorization to add 01.? hundred
and twenty-five men to the force was granted and these
additional men are at present in service. On account of
the growing needs of traffic, additional police officers are
quickly absorbed.
On May 31, 1929, through joint action of the Mayor and
Police Commissioner, the salaries of deputy superintendents
of this department were raised from $4,000 to $4,500 per
annum; the chief inspector from S3,S00 to 84,300; captains
from $3,500 to $4,000; lieutenants and lieutenant-inspectors
from $2,G00 to S2,700; and sergeants and detective-sergeants
from $2,400 to $2,500.
New station houses are needed on Divisions 3, 4, 5, and
17, and garages for police vehicles needed at Stations 12
and 14.
Nineteen men will be added early in January, 1930, to the
Special Service Unit now operating in motor vehicles from
Headquarters. This will create two shifts of police officers
operating in this unit and will insure continuous patrol of
the city from G.OO p.m. to 8.00 a.m. The present unit
operating from 11.00 p.m. to 8.00 a.m. has already dem-
onstrated its great value in preventing crime, apprehending
thieves, discovering fires, and in the general protection of the
lives and property of the citizens of this city.
Very respectfully,
HERBERT A. WILSON,
Police Commissioner for the City of fionlon.

The average amount of property stolen in and out of
the city for the five years from 1925 to 1929 inclusive, was
Sl,743,171.90, in 1929 it was $1,607,046.62, or $136,125.28
less than the average. The amount of property stolen in and
out of the city, which was recovered by the Boston Police,
was S3,580,S49.30, as against $2,881,110.36 last year, or

Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
The "identification room" now contains 71,684 photo-
graphs, 57,119 of which are photographs with Bertillon
measurements, a system used by the Department since
November 30, 189S. In accordance with the Revised Laws,
chapter 225, section 18, and with the General Laws, chapter
127, sections 27 to 29, both inclusive, we are allowed photo-
graphs with Bertillon measurements taken of the convicts
in the State Prison and Reformatory, a number of which
have been added to our Bertillon cabinets. This, together
with the adoption of the system by the Department in 1898,
is and will continue to be of great assistance in the identi-
fication of criminals. A large number of important identi-
fications have thus been made during the year for this and
other police departments, through which the sentences in
many instances have been materially increased. The
records of 1,140 criminals have been added to the records
of this Bureau, which now contains a total of 50,599. The
number of cases reported at this office which have been
investigated during the year is 31,453. There are 48,754
cases reported on the assignment books kept for this purpose
and reports made on these cases are filed away for future
reference. The system of indexing adopted by this Bureau
for the use of the Department now contains a list of records,
histories, photographs, dates of arrests, etc., of about 248,090
persons. There are also "histories and press clippings"
now numbering 10,603 made by this Bureau, in envelope
form for police reference.
The finger-print system of identification which was
adopted in June, 1906, has progressed in a satisfactory
manner, and with it the identification of criminals is facil-
itated. It has become very useful in tracing criminals and
furnishing corroborating evidence in many instances.
