Magus. neutron Hartford an official
league report on the wickedness of the
capital of Connecticut. The report
was sent to mayor Harbison but this is
not the first time the Hartford mayor
has heard the details. Ha listened to
them at a private meeting on Decem-
ber 2, but since then has‘taken no of
finial action, although the law and or
der officials are at a loss to know the
reason.
Since the Hartford meeting. which
was held at the request of a commit-
tee (in good government, Mayor Harbt
son has refused to not, because he
says, he was pledged to secrecy. on
the other hand Mr. Prince of the
league says there was no such ridicu.
lOUIl agreement He has made this
statement in Hartford papers and re
iterated the same statement to 9. Reg-
isiar reporter yesterday
‘ KEPT FACTS FROM PAPERS
“The meeting was pledged to ac
rrecy." xplalned Mr. Prince, “only so
far as to prevent the facts from being
printed in the newspapers, and conse.
qrrontly heading off any plans for re-
form. We. didn't want to spoil our
gunpowder. We pledged all to score-
cy regarding the meeting accordingly:
but we never pledged the mayor nobto
use this information. What was the
use of having him present if he was
not to make use of this information?
I don’t know why the mayor refused
to act. He. says I know that he was
pledged to keep the meeting a secret
but to not on the information was an
other proposition silagethcr."
MAYOR HARRISON PRESENT.
Mayor Harbison, according to the
Hartford Cour-ant. said that he and the
others present required to pledge
themselves on their honor, not only as
men but as gentlemen. to keep secret
Secretary ’I'hrashor's report and all
that transpired. The information con-
veyed by Secretary 'lnraaher was
not to be used; no official action was
to be taken based upon it. There were
statements made regarding the police
department which he jolted down as
memoranda, preferring to have it in
permanent form to trusting his mem»
ory as he thought it might. be subse
quenily referred to. The mayor said
that he did not see how anybody pros-
ont could arrive at any other conclu-
sion than than all wore pledged to se
crecy, absolute secrecy.
Mayor says that if 110 receives the
report today and decides to lay it be-
fore the police board, it would become
public property and would be given to
the press.
MAYOR HAD REPORT.
After the meeting of the police com-
missioners last night had been ad.
lourued, Mayor Harbiaon said that the
Law and Orden lasagna report bud
been sent to him and was in his pos-
session. When asked what would be
the first thing he would do with it the
Mayor said: "Read it." He said that
he. intended to read it thoroughly to
see if it corresponded with the report
that was made at the meeting. The
Mayor took notes of the report at the
meeting and he will know if another
report is sprung upon him. While the
Mayor did not say that the league
wolud attempt any aleightof-hand
work with the report he intimated that
he was going to spend considerable
time in reading it. There was a rum-
or that the league officials had an in
timatlon that the report might be pub
lished and some changes would be
tundra in the copy sent to the Mayor.
Mayor Harblson said the the original
report contained a number of state
ments whether true or not that should
not be published. He said he would
not do anything with the report for a
few days and then he might make so
lections from it that would be suitable
for the public print.
