The Force is now comprised of five divisional\nheadquarters, sixteen district headquarters, and ninety-eight detachments. A list of detachments with their respective officers as at December 31st, 1925, is shown in Appendix V. at the\nend of this report.\nENLISTMENTS, DISCHARGES, ETC.\nThe following are the particulars regarding enlistments, etc., during the year 1925: Enlistments, 41; resignations, 8 ; dismissals, 4; deaths, 2.\nTaking over the policing of certain cities and municipalities has caused an increase of eight\nmen in the strength during the year; the Liquor Branch has increased to the extent of two;\nthe issuing of uniforms to all ranks has made necessary an increase in the clerical staff, while\nit was also found necessary to engage clerks to cope with the increased correspondence and\nreports at Nanaimo, Fernie, Frince Rupert, New Westminster, and Headquarters. I also had\nto place an additional clerk to deal with the increase in the number of motor-vehicles licensed\nand registered and the adoption of drivers' licences. Repeated complaints from the Islands\nDistrict showed the advisability of maintaining a regular launch patrol, and the game situation\nin different parts of the Province necessitated the employment of additional men who devote\ntheir whole attention to the enforcement of the \" Game Act.\"\nDuring the year the University area, including approximately 7 miles of the much-travelled\nMarine Drive, came under the supervision of the Provincial Police, following the withdrawal\nof this area from municipal territory at Point Grey. The problem of the traffic control in this\narea is an important one, due to the large number of tourists and others who use the Marine\nDrive, particularly in the summer season, and there is a possibility that an officer may be\nneeded there permanently if this area is to be policed by this Force. The population is inereas- Y 6 British Columbia. 1925\ning, and it is likely to do so more rapidly since the opening of the University Buildings at Point\nGrey. At present, however, I find that the situation can be effectively handled by the Vancouver\nDetachment.\nOBITUARY.\nIn the death of Staff-Sergeant Robert James Sutherland at Golden on 'Saturday, November\n21st, 1925, after sixteen years' service, the Provincial Police lost one of its most trusted officers.\nAppointed to the Force in November, 1909, the deceased was successively promoted to the ranks\nof Chief Constable in 1914 and Staff-Sergeant in 1924. Kindly, tactful, and courteous, Staff-\nSergeant Sutherland was a great favourite and his presence will be missed throughout the\nNorth-east Kootenay District, which he so successfully administered for the past ten years.\nI also regret to report the death of Sergeant C. A. Booth, who had been continually associated\nwith the Motor Licence Branch since his enlistment on April 4th, 1911.\nAPPOINTMENTS.\nOn April 27th, 1925, Staff-Sergeant W. Spiller was appointed Acting-Inspector and placed\nin command of \" D \" Division.\nOn September 1st, 1925, M. Furber was appointed Chief Game Inspector.\nNEW BUILDINGS.\nThe Headquarters in the Old Drill Hall at Victoria has been altered and extended from time\nto time to cope with the increased volume of business passing through our hands.\nA new police office of the standard pattern was erected at Oliver and is now occupied. The\nbuilding, to my mind, is exceptionally well adapted for police purposes and also as a residence\nfor the Constable.\nProvision was made in the Estimates for new lockups at Natal and Athalmer. The money\nfor the latter, however, was expended in adding additional living-quarters at the Kimberley\nLockup, which is a very important point.\nIt is hoped to have a new standard lockup built at Blue River during the year 1926. A new\nbuilding is also contemplated at Clinton to be used by the Government Agency at that point.\nProvision has been made to have a lockup and Constable's quarters in this building.\nA Government building was erected during the year at Smithers, in which provision was\nmade for offices suitable for District Headquarters, a room for a single Constable, and married\nquarters for the N.C.O. i/c, which has filled a long-felt want.\nAlthough provision was made for the erection of barracks at Fort St. John, construction\nhas been delayed owing to the uncertainty of the proposed location of the Edmonton, Dunvegan\n& British Columbia Railway.\nA new building was constructed during 1925 at Mission, which is almost completed and ready\nfor occupation. Capacity, cell-room and Court-room, with suitable living-quarters for married\nman and family.\nA new police building will be necessary in the immediate future at Alert Bay Detachment,\nthe present building being both unsanitary and unsuitable for the Constable's accommodation.\nRepairs will also be necessary, with certain alterations, at both Powell River and Squamish\nDetachments.\nThe Vancouver offices were considerably extended during the year to provide additional\naccommodation, including offices for the Assistant Superintendent. The offices formerly occupied\nby certain other departments adjacent to the Police quarters were taken over, with more space\nand facility for all concerned. Various changes were also made in the internal arrangement\nof the Motor Licence Branch for the greater convenience of the public. In this connection it is\nrespectfully suggested that the offices adjacent to that Branch might also well be taken over\neventually by this Department to allow better facilities for the accommodation of the motor-\nusing public, particularly during the rush periods of licence-issuing, which is now assuming\nproportions beyond the capacity of the present quarters to cope with conveniently. A portion\nof the new police offices was used to advantage as a sub-office for the issuing of licences at the\nbeginning of the year for the first few months; it has also again been opened for the convenience\nof the public during the first few weeks of 1926.\nChanges were similarly made at the New Westminster Headquarters to provide additional\nfacilities to meet the rapidly increasing motor-licence requirements, as well as for the greater\nconvenience of the N.C.O. i/c and staff at the Headquarters. 16 Geo. 5 Report of the Superintendent of Provincial Police. Y 7\nUNIFORMS.\nI am pleased to be able to say that uniforming of the Police Force was completed during the\nyear and all ranks with the exception of probationers are now in uniform. This is the first\noccasion in the history of the Force that the men have been uniformed. As this was a new\nexperience, naturally the issue in some respects could be improved, and I hope to be able to\neffect these improvements in the coming year. Although the idea of making this Force a\nuniformed unit was received in some instances with opposition, yet, now that it is an accomplished fact, the good effect that it has had on the discipline and bearing of the men, the\nincreased efficiency and respect now commanded have fully justified the step and any extra\nexpense thereby incurred.\nCRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT.\nIn my last report I spoke of the need for a department dealing exclusively with Criminal\nInvestigation, While I have not been able to bring this Branch up to the standard its importance\ndeserves, I have detailed Inspector Cruickshank to take charge of this department and he has\ntwo men in Vancouver working under his instructions. There is a lot to be done yet in this\nregard, but having made a start on its organization, I hope to have a competent Branch operating\nin the next year.\nPOLICING OF MUNICIPALITIES BY BRITISH COLUMBIA POLICE.\n\"A\" Division.\u00E2\u0080\u0094No municipalities have heen taken over in the Victoria District other than\nthe City of Duncan, which we are now policing, and this is apparently turning out very satisfactorily. City officials and residents in the City of Duncan highly appreciate the manner in\nwhich our officers carry out their duties. Corporal Russell, in charge, and Constable Shepherd\nare both zealous officers and carry out their duties most efficiently, both in the City of Duncan\nand the surrounding unorganized territory.\n\" B \" Division.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The only municipality in this Division to take advantage of the amended\n\" Municipal Aet\" in having their police-work done by the Provincial Police was Rossland.\nNotwithstanding a report furnished recently in this connection, I am well satisfied that the\npeople of Rossland as a whole are very well satisfied with the service being given them by this\nDepartment. I look to see the present system remain in Rossland, and I am also satisfied that\nin future other municipalities will adopt a similar method. As a matter of fact, I have already\nbeen approached by the City of Nelson, getting data on our methods, and it may well be that this\nwill ultimately become a local issue there.\n\" D \" Division.\u00E2\u0080\u0094On June 15th, 1925, according to an agreement with the Municipality of\nthe City of Prince George, policing was assumed by this Force, the success of which can be\nmeasured by the vote taken in January last, when the present system was endorsed by a majority\nof 170\u00E2\u0080\u0094275 in favour of British Columbia Police and 105 against.\n\" E \" Division.\u00E2\u0080\u0094In this Division the policing of Matsqui Municipality by the Provincial\nForce since April 1st, 1925, has so far been successful. Better results have been obtained, with\nsatisfactory service to the public. The question of policing Sumas Municipality has also been\na subject of discussion, but as yet this municipality has not decided in favour of Provincial\ncontrol, although there is a possibility that they may do so in the near future.\nGeneral.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Generally speaking, the policing of municipalities and cities by the Provincial\nForce has been entirely satisfactory from every point of view. Indeed, not only have the\nmunicipalities themselves often effected a considerable financial saving, but by the elimination\nof \" overlapping \" services, not always sympathetic, local supervision has immeasurably improved\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094with one Force in control questions as to either jurisdiction or responsibility cannot arise.\nAgain, when all is said and done, it is an obvious advantage for a municipality to have its local\nofficer backed by a constahularly whose influence extends not only through the length and breadth\nof British Columbia, but also to neighbouring Provinces and to the States south of us. Although\nstill in the experimental stage, the trend is apparent, and ,1 feel satisfied that, as time goes on,\nother civic administrators will more fully recognize the great crime-preventive value pertaining\nto a Police Force whose operations are subject to an independent control.\nIDENTIFICATION BUREAU.\nAlthough the value of our Finger-print and Record Office is being continually demonstrated,\nI feel this value might be further amplified by the adoption of criminal photography at Oakalla. Y 8 British Columbia. 1925\nPhotographs continue to play an extremely important part in effecting criminal identification,\nand, to my mind, there is no question that such an innovation would be of immense assistance\nto the Criminal Investigation Branch.\nCONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE.\nIt gives me great pleasure to be able to say that the conduct of the Force during the past\nyear has been excellent and the discipline remains at a very high standard. There have, of\ncourse, been instances of dereliction of duty and some of misbehaviour, but these have been\nfirmly dealt with. Fortunately these cases were very few, only four dismissals being made\nduring the year, and this number includes those dismissed for inefficiency or unsuitability.\nWhen it is considered that the majority of the N.C.O.'s and men of this Force are carrying on\ntheir duties at stations that are far removed from Headquarters, and therefore are required to\ntake important action and make far-reaching decisions on their own initiative, the almost total\nabsence of complaints against the Force is a matter of extreme gratification. During the year\nI have had occasion to particularly commend in General Orders the work of the following N.C.O.'s\nand men :\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nSeptember 10th, 1925. Constables Irving and Jacklin, for the efficient manner in which they\ncarried out and conducted a search for a missing child near Cordova Bay. With the quick\naction of the officers the child was located in a short time. Again, on September 10th, Constables\nHatcher and Jacklin, for excellent judgment in apprehending two young offenders with a stolen\near, both being wanted by the municipal authorities at Victoria.\nConstable W. A. Walker, Princeton Detachment, for his prompt action in the arrest of\nDavid Lloyd Chrisman for cattle-stealing.\nCorporal J. F. Johnston, Trail Detachment, for his prompt action in effecting the arrest\nof three men discovered in the act of breaking and entering.\nConstable W. J. Stewart, Midway Detachment. The City Clerk of Greenwood wrote to me\nan appreciation of the very valuable services rendered by Constable Stewart in bringing to\njustice a perpetrator of a series of thefts in the City of Greenwood.\nSergeant G. H. Greenwood, Constable A. J. Smith, Constable F. Brindley, Constable I. J.\nBrown, and Probationer Ward, for the splendid work done in connection with the arrest of\nJesse Mansfield, who had shot and killed George Whiting, road foreman, near Natal. In this\ncommendation Constable Smith was specially singled out for the coolness displayed in the\narrest of the offender.\nConstable F. Brindley, of Natal Detachment, for the excellent work performed by this\nofficer in the case of a quantity of clothing, watches, etc., stolen at Crowsnest; the Constable's\nprompt action resulting in the arrest of two men at Natal, who were afterwards convicted.\nConstable D. A. Hazelton, Hope Detachment. A letter of appreciation was received by me\nfrom Geo. A. Lundie, M.A., editoral staff, Vancouver Daily Province. Constable Hazelton was\ncommended for the arrest of James Lewis Morrison, who stole Mr. Lundie's overcoat from a\nC.N.R. passenger-train on December 4th, 1925, while Mr. Lundie was proceeding from Vancouver\nto Montreal.\nConstable A. T. Regan, North Bend Detachment, by P. Philip, Deputy Minister of Public\nWorks, for services rendered him and his Department at North Bend. Very recently this\nofficer died through heart-failure and his loss is much felt by this Department.\nCorporal W. J. Service and Constable T. Thiis, District Headquarters at Smithers, for\neffecting arrest and preparing case in Rex vs. Serek, robbery with violence.\nConstable W. J. Service, District Headquarters, Smithers, for assistance to Forest Branch.\nConstables J. G. Cunningham, W. V. Fenton, and W. Clark, in connection with numerous\nconvictions in the Howe Sound area under the \" Game Act \" during a patrol with police launch\n\"Watla\" in June, 1925.\nConstable W. H. Hadley, Alert Bay Detachment, in connection with forest fires at Nimpkish\nIndian Reserve; also general policing of his district.\nConstable F. Broughton, in connection with breaking and entering of Government Liquor\nStore at Abbotsford.\nConstable A. C. Sutton, Powell River Detachment, for arrest of Geo. Hannay, escaped\nprisoner, at Squirrel Cove. Again, in connection with arrest of escaped prisoner, Joseph Martin,\nen route from Prince Rupert to Oakalla Prison Farm. 16 Geo. 5 Report of the Superintendent of Provincial Police. Y 9\nConstable A. MacClean, also in connection with escaped prisoner, Joseph Martin. ,\nConstables Fox and Ledoux, of the Liquor Board staff, for work in conjunction with\nProvincial Police officers re Mission Liquor Store robbery.\nASSISTANCE RENDERED OTHER DEPARTMENTS.\nWhen other Government departments require information they generally look to the Police\nto obtain the same. This custom was more than ever exemplified during the year 1925; in fact,\ncertain investigations connected with the \" Mothers' Pensions Act,\" \" Fire Marshal Act,\" neglected\nchildren, hospitals for insane, destitute, sick and poor, Forest Department, etc., have resolved\nthemselves into regular police duties. Moreover, I cannot recall a single instance in which the\nconduct of these investigations has been criticized by the Department directly concerned. On the\ncontrary, time and again I have had letters thanking me for the assistance rendered by officers\nof the Force. Transportation both by land and water has been provided for officials of several\ndepartments while travelling on their official duties.\nDepartment of the Attorney-General.\nBesides guarding prisoners and looking after witnesses, the Force is called upon to supply\norderlies at all .Assize Courts.\n\" Deserted Wives' Maintenance Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Provincial Police attended to twenty-six cases\nunder this Act during 1925.\n\" Fire Marshal Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Fifteen members of the Force have been appointed Assistant Fire\nMarshals under this Act, All members of the Force continue to render every assistance to the\nFire Marshal and report on every fire occurring in their territory.\n\" Game Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094In my capacity of Provincial Game Warden I am making the enforcement of\nthis Act the subject of a special report.\n\" Government Liquor Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094The attention of the Force is continually demanded in the\nenforcement of this Act, and its increased activities resulted in the number of cases dealt with\nduring 1925 showing an increase of 138 over 1924. I am glad to be able to report that complete\nunderstanding exists between the Enforcement officers under Inspector Miller and the regular\nConstables of this Force, their co-operation resulting in the prosecution and conviction of a large\nnumber of violators.\n\" Motor-vehicle Aet.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094During the year 1925 55,057 motor-vehicles were licensed, an increase\nof 8,042 as compared with the number licensed during the year 1924. Of this number, 42,195\nwere issued by this Department direct from the five issuing offices at Kamloops, Nanaimo, New\nWestminster, Vancouver, and Victoria, the balance being issued through thirty Government\nAgents throughout the Province, assisted by our officers in the various districts. In addition\nto motor-vehicle licences, 770 motor-cycle, 243 motor-dealers', 335 trailer, 5,342 chauffeurs', and\n72,115 drivers' licences were issued. The amount of revenue under the \" Motor-vehicle Act\"\nactually collected by officers of this Department amounted to the sum of $1,018,302.85.\nAll issuing offices make a daily return to the General Headquarters Office at Victoria of all\nlicences, etc., issued under the Act, such returns being accompanied by the original applications\nmade, etc., all records for the Province being kept at this office. Reports of convictions, etc.,\nfrom Magistrates are also received and recorded.\nThe steady increase of motor-vehicles would appear to call for the formation of a squad\nof motor-cycle officers engaged exclusively on the enforcement of the \" Motor-vehicle Act \" and\nits regulations, as well as the \"Highway Act\" and regulations, and I would recommend that\nsuch a unit be formed for this purpose to enforce all of the above in so far as the portions of\nthe Province policed by this Force are concerned, as well as in municipalities, with the exception\nof traffic regulations and speed.\n\" Moving Pictures Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Whenever called upon assistance is rendered to the Censor.\n\" Pool-rooms Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Force continues to supervise the conduct of pool-rooms in unorganized territory, and before being issued with a licence all premises are required to be examined\nand reported on by the Provincial Police. During the year 1925 ninety-six pool-rooms were\nreported on and licences issued for that year.\n\" Women's and Girls' Protection Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094A number of cases have been brought to the attention\nof the Force and dealt with. Y 10 British Columbia. 1925\nDepartment of Agrictjltube.\n\" Sheep Protection Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094The enforcement of this Act continues to receive the attention of\nthis Force, as do the \" Brand Act,\" \" Animals Act,\" \" Pound District Act,\" etc. A number of\ninvestigations were made under the \" Noxious Weeds Act\" and the necessary action taken.\nHide inspections, cattle-marking, and contagious diseases of animals are all matters that this\nForce attends to as part of its duties.\nDepabtment of Education.\nThe local knowledge of the Provincial Police has often been found valuable to this\nDepartment.\nDepabtment of Fisheries.\nDuring the fishing season of 1925 three Provincial Police officers were detailed for special\nfisheries duties. The selection of these men is always carefully made with a view to obtaining\nthe best possible results. Only those with an extensive knowledge of the waters in which they\noperate and long experience with the subject are chosen. During the year 1925 the sum of\n$16,690 was collected in licences and taxes for the Fisheries Department.\nDepartment of Labouk.\nThis Department has on many an occasion invoked the aid of the Provincial Police. There\nhas been a number of prosecutions under the \" Semi-monthly Payment of Wages Act\" and the\n\" Hours of Work Act,\" and the men are always in a position to report on local labour conditions.\nDepartment of Lands.\nThe Force has rendered all assistance in its power to the Forest Branch officials, not only\nby assisting in the prosecution of cases, but also by procuring fire-fighters where necessary.\nDuring the past year some of my best men were especially detailed for forest-protection work.\nDepabtment of Mines.\nThree members of the Force are appointed Sub-Mining Recorders\u00E2\u0080\u0094at Hope, Lytton, and\nHazelton. A number of prosecutions have been made under the \" Coal-mines Regulation Act \"\nand the \" Metalliferous Mines Regulation Act,\" and the Force has also rendered assistance to\nthe Inspectors of this Department.\nDepartment of the Provincial Secretary.\n\" Dentistry Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Investigations have been made and prosecutions have followed under this\nAct on behalf of the College of Dental Surgeons of British Columbia.\n\" Health Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Three hundred and ninety-five investigations of camps were made in the\nyear 1925. The duty of quarantining the occupants of homes in which an infectious disease has\nshown also falls on this Force.\n\" Mental Hospitals Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094The work in this connection is on the increase, as is shown by\nthe comparative figures of 113 for 1925 to 66 patients attended to in 1924.\n\" Mothers' Pensions Act.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094One hundred and eighteen cases were investigated for the Board\nin 1925.\nIndigent, Aged, and Sick Persons.\u00E2\u0080\u0094This branch of the Provincial Secretary's Department\nrequires a great deal of attention from the Force, whose investigations often necessitate long\nand arduous patrols. In the report following an investigation the Department always requires\na recommendation from the officer, and it is left entirely to his judgment as to the amount and\nnecessity for relief.\nNeglected Children.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Force is being constantly employed by the Superintendent of\nNeglected Children to make investigations, sometimes extremely delicate ones, and the escort\nof children to the Home in Vancouver is a task undertaken on many an occasion.\nVital Statistics.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The officers stationed at the Hope, MeBride, Hudson Hope, and Bella\nCoola Detachments have been appointed as District Registrars of Births, Deaths, and Marriages,\nand issuers of Marriage Licences. 16 Geo. 5 Report of the Superintendent of Provincial Police. Y 11\nPublic Works Department.\nThe condition of roads is watched and many matters in connection with them reported to\nDistrict Engineers. A check on heavy vehicles is constantly kept to prevent infractions of the\n\" Highway Act.\"\nTbeasury Dep_irtment.\nAppendix III. at the end of this report gives details of the revenue collected by the Force\nduring the year 1925.\nDOMINION STATUTES.\nThe enforcement of Dominion Statutes has been a particular duty in all Provincial Police/\ndistricts. A noticeable feature of our criminal work has been the large number of cases handled\nunder the \" Opium and Narcotic Drug Act\" and the \" Indian Act.\" In this connection another\nfeature worthy of comment is the high percentage of Orientals concerned with offences under\nthe first-mentioned law. We have also co-operated to a large extent with Dominion officials\ncharged with the supervision of immigration, criminal contagious diseases, shippingf, contagious\ndiseases of animals, customs and excise, explosives, Indians, migratory birds protection, naturalization, the postal service, paroled prisoners, ticket-of-leave, quarantine, railways, and the\ntelegraph service, and I am pleased to be able to say that we have received full measure of\nsupport from all Dominion Government officials in every branch.\nGENERAL.\nDuring the year I visited every divisional headquarters and many district headquarters and\ndetachments. I am pleased to be able to say that at all times I found the Force carrying out\nits duties in a very efficient manner and almost without exception to the entire satisfaction of\nthe law-abiding community. While I have remarked about the uniforms under that heading in\nthis report, yet mention of the striking improvement in the bearing of the men on the detachments visited was very marked, and this improvement seemed to me to be reflected in the\nattitude of the men towards their work. There was a noticeable keenness and alacrity that\ncould not fail to impress, and I consider the uniforming of the Force to be one of the outstanding\nachievements in its history.\nAssistant Superintendent Owen also made exhaustive inspection trips during the year, and\nmade a number of recommendations relative to administrative matters throughout the Province,\nwhich I have from time to time placed before you for your consideration.\nI have always given special attention to co-operation with the various municipal, city, the\nR.C.M.P., and other Police Forces, and I am glad to be able to report that the most cordial\nrelationship exists between us and the other Police bodies. We have always been ready to\nrender every assistance possible to any Force that may ask for it, and in return I am able to\nsay that we have never appealed in vain to any Force for anything that we may require in the\nway of police-work. In those Divisions where the hobo situation is most marked the officers\ncommanding these Divisions report that the C.P.R. and the C.N.R. Police have many times\nexpressed their appreciation of the assistance we have been able to render. I may say that the\nnumber of vagrants making their way both East and West was greatly increased, probably due\nto the exceptional mildness of the weather. Of the spirit of co-operation shown by the other\nWestern Provincial Police Forces, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. I cannot speak too\nhighly. To any request we make we always receive prompt attention, and it is with a great\ndeal of pleasure that I draw your attention to the policy of mutual assistance so earnestly\nfostered by Commissioners Bryan, Mabony, and Martin. Equally gratifying is the understanding\nthat exists between us and the Sheriffs and Police across the border. The holding of the Annual\nConvention of the North-west Association of Sheriffs and Police in Victoria brought together\nheads of all branches of police-work in the U.S.A. and this country and created an interest in\neach other that cannot fail to react to the benefit of all concerned. With the harmony existing\nthe prevention of crime is made easier, and I shall continue to do my utmost to further the spirit\nwhich I feel confident will be extended by every man in my command.\nDuring the year, and since the appearance of the Provincial Police in uniform, I have been\nasked to detail squads of men for various ceremonial functions, including the opening of the\nProvincial Legislature. The opening ceremonies at the new University of British Columbia at\nPoint Grey required a large number of men from the Vancouver Detachment, as did the opening Y 12 British Columbia. 1925\nof the Second Narrows Bridge. On each of these occasions the men drew much favourable\ncomment.\nTowards the end of the year 1924 we were confronted with a number of very serious crimes,\nmurder, hi-jacking, and bank robbery, perpetrated by gangs of criminals from the United States.\nWith the assistance of specials from the other side, we were able to bring to justice all the\nmembers of these gangs, and at the Assize hearing penalties compatible with the crimes committed were awarded, the extreme penalty being given in three cases. Nothing of this nature\nhas occurred since that time, and it is apparent that the example of the swift justice administered\nto criminals in this country has had a telling effect on bandits who had considered this Province\na fertile field for their depredations. These cases not only afforded a splendid proof of the\nefficiency of the Police of this Province, but also demonstrated that in Canada law and order\nmust be respected.\nI have dealt with the different phases of our work during the year under their separate\nheadings in another part of this report\u00E2\u0080\u0094general, policing, and administration matters, policing\nof municipalities, conduct and discipline, etc. In conclusion, I should like to say that in their\nreports for the year presented to me the Inspectors in command of Divisions without exception\nexpress their appreciation for the whole-hearted support they have received from all the N.C.O.'s\nand men under them. I should like to add my own appreciation to theirs and at the same time\nwarmly thank Assistant Superintendent Owen and every Inspector for their loyal support at\nall times. To yourself I wish to express the appreciation of myself and all ranks for your\nsympathetic manner and kind consideration given to all matters touching the work and welfare\nof the Force.\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour obedient servant,\nJ. H. McMULLIN,\nSuperintendent, British Columbia Provincial Police.\nCRIMINAL STATISTICS.\nAppendix I. at the end of this report gives in detail the cases dealt with by Provincial\nofficers. This table does not give the full total for the Province, but includes all indictable\noffences where the accused was committed for trial and summary convictions dealt with by the\nForce, but not summary convictions of cities and municipalities which have their own Police\nForce. The number of all cases entered amounted to 3,263, with convictions amounting to 3,113,\nor 85.92 per cent. This shows an increase of cases entered over last year of 899. The number\nof escorts of prisoners made during the year was 2,285 and 169,130 miles were travelled in the\ncourse of these escorts. The following is a short summary of the most important cases occurring\nduring the year:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nMurder and Attempts.\nRex vs. Leslie Dickie (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094The accused, Leslie Dickie, was charged with the murder\nof his infant grandson during a religious frenzy. He appeared for trial at the Nanaimo Spring\nAssize on May 27th, 1925. The jury found him \" not guilty.\" He was, however, detained in\ncustody and examined as to his mental condition, and upon being declared insane was committed\nto Essondale Mental Hospital.\nRex vs. I. Yamo-moto (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094The accused was charged with the murder of a fellow-\ncountryman (Japanese) at Port Alice. On May 28th. 1925, he appeared for trial at the Nanaimo\nSpring Assize, was found \" guilty \" and sentenced to death. This sentence was subsequently\ncommuted to life imprisonment.\nRex vs. George Olebar and James King (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This was a case arising out of a drunken\norgy on the west coast of Vancouver Island, in which a man named Jamieson was killed. George\nOlebar and James King were arraigned at the Nanaimo Fall Assize on this charge on November\n4th, 1925. The jury found the accused \" not guilty \" and they were discharged, whereupon King\nwas returned to Oakalla to serve the balance of a six-month sentence for supplying liquor to\nIndians. 16 Geo. 5 Report of the Superintendent op Provincial Police. Y 13\nRex vs. Corano (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This case occurred at Golden in September, 1925.. The accused,\nsitting in a beer-parlour, got information to the effect that a man on the street had been insulting\nhis wife. Corano left the beer-parlour, followed the man up the street, and from the evidence\nhit him with his fist, the man falling on the street. When the Police and doctor arrived the man\nwas dead. The accused was tried at the Revelstoke Pall Assize and acquitted.\nRex vs. Hanley (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094In this instance the accused, during an interview with a nurse\nat the Nurses' Home at Trail, pulled out a revolver and shot her dead. He then turned the\nweapon upon himself and severely wounded himself. The accused has already stood two trials\non a charge of \" murder \" at the Nelson Assizes and in both cases the jury disagreed. He will\nbe again tried at the forthcoming Assize.\nRex vs. Mansfield (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094In this case the accused laboured under an imagined grievance\nas between himself and a Government road-gang. On the evening of August 19th, 1925, he\naccosted the members of this particular gang and ordered them to stop work, and upon their\nrefusal he returned home and procured a rifle. Coming back shortly after, he opened fire,\nwounded two of their number, and then escaped into the bush. On the following day Mr.\nWhiting, the road foreman, travelling back from Natal to his home in a Ford car, was intercepted by the accused on the road and there shot down in cold blood. The action of Sergeant\nGreenwood and his officers are worthy of comment in this case, as everything possible was done\nto locate Mansfield, their efforts being successful on the following evening, when Constable Smith,\nwho had Mansfield's home under observation, noticed his going in that direction. I have already\nreferred to Constable Smith's very cool and prompt action in effecting Mansfield's arrest and\ndisarming him. Two charges were laid against the accused, one of attempted murder and one\nof murder, on which charges he was tried at the Fall Assize at Cranbrook, the jury bringing in\na verdict of \" manslaughter \" on the more serious crime. Mansfield was sentenced to fifteen\nyears in the Penitentiary by Mr. Justice W. A. McDonald. The Department has already signified\nits intention of entering a stay of proceedings in the case of attempted murder.\nRex vs. Gujar Singh (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This case arose in the City of Kelowna.* At about 10.30 p.m.\non July 11th, 1925, Tarah Singh, a Hindu, was stabbed near the heart and a blood-vessel in the\nneck severed (either of these wounds would have been fatal), causing his death. The accused,\nGujar Singh, endeavoured to escape, but was captured by Provincial Police officers between\nKelowna and Penticton. He was tried at the Vernon Fall Assize, found \" guilty\" of manslaughter, and sentenced to ten years in the British Columbia Penitentiary by His Lordship\nMr. Justice Morrison.\nRex vs. Fred Cyr (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094On November 25th, 1925, Fred Cyr walked into the Provincial\nPolice Detachment at Hanceville and confessed to having killed .Alex. Ducharme, a trapper, at\nChilko Lake on November 5th, 1925. According to Cyr's written confession, a dispute occurred\nbetween Ducharme and himself over a trap-line and also concerning Cyr's activities in connection\nwith a mineral prospect. Sergeant Bowen, of the Yale Police District, was detailed for this\ninvestigation, which necessitated taking the Coroner and jury on a long hazardous trip in the\nwinter. At Prince George Assize, before His Lordship Mr. Justice Murphy and jury, a verdict\nof \" not guilty \" was brought in and accused discharged accordingly.\nRex vs. Mrs. Mamie Colich (Attempted Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094The accused in this case attempted to cut\nher husband's throat while he was asleep in bed. She was tried at the New Westminster Assize\non three counts\u00E2\u0080\u0094namely, attempted murder, wounding with, intent to do grievious bodily harm,\nand assault. She was found \" guilty \" on the second count and sentenced to twenty-three months'\nimprisonment. The accused, after finding her attempt on her husband's life was unsuccessful,\nendeavoured to commit suicide, but in this she was not successful. For this offence she was\nsentenced to six months' imprisonment, sentence to run concurrent with the above sentence of\ntwenty-three months.\nRex vs. Tommy Sampson (Attempted Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094The accused, an Indian of the Bridge River\nIndian Reserve, Lillooet, was charged with the murder of Peter George Kistemtt, an Indian.\nAt the Kamloops Spring Assize a \" no bill\" was returned by the grand jury, but a \" true bill\"\nwas brought in on a charge of \" shooting with intent to do grievious bodily harm.\" A verdict\nof \" not guilty \" being returned, Sampson was honourably discharged. The defence maintained\nthat as the accused mounted his horse his rifle was accidentally discharged.\nBig Alex, and Edie (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094These Indians of Liard River, together with Clem, Dan, and\nJimmy Loot, also Indians, were charged at the August Assize in Prince Rupert with the murder Y 14 British Colu.mbia. 1925\nof Moccasin Jim, another Indian, on the Liard River in the year 1922. Big Alex, and Edie were\nfound guilty of \" manslaughter,\" the former being sentenced to five years' and the latter to ten\nyears' suspended sentence. The three Loots were found \" not guilty\" and discharged. The\nincidents connected with this case were fully dealt with in my last annual report. Briefly, a.\nR.C.M.P. patrol commanded by Inspector T. V. Sandys-Wunsch ascertained that Moccasin Jim,\nsuspected of witchcraft, had been murdered by his fellows and then buried. Following the\nmatter- up, Inspector Sandys-Wunsch subsequently discovered the body and brought those\nconcerned to trial.\nFrank Bird, Alex. Bird, and Frank Roy (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094These half-breeds were accused of the\nmurder of Mathew McLean, Indian, near Hazelton. This case originated on September 13th,\n1924, when McLean was reported missing and was last seen alive in company with the accused.\nIn October, 1925, a skeleton was found in the Skeena River at Salvus and identified as that of\nMcLean. The three were committed for trial, which, it is expected, Willi take place at the Spring\nAssize, 1926, at Prince Rupert.\nRex vs. Faustina Pena (Attempted Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This man picked a quarrel with G. Agarde\nat Stewart on June 8th, 1925, in the course of which the latter was stabbed. Pena was committed for trial and at the Assize held in August, 1925, at Prince Rupert was sentenced to four\nyears' imprisonment.\nGillis Murder Case.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Much public interest was aroused in this case, particularly when the\nhorrifying circumstances of the murders were brought to light in the trials of the accused,\nOwen B. Baker and Harry Sowash, alias Myers. A most complete case was made out for the\nCrown against both men, on the strength of which they were both sentenced to hang, and\npaid the penalty on January 14th, 1926. A similar sentence was passed on Charles Morris, the\nthird member of the trio convicted, but this was reduced to life imprisonment on the order of\nthe Hon. the Minister of Justice. The work of Inspector Cruickshank in connection with this\ncase was an outstanding feature of the year.\nTrouble amongst Chinese at Port Moody.\u00E2\u0080\u0094On May 19th, 1925, a shooting affray took place\nat Port Moody, due apparently to internal \" Tong \" fueds amongst certain factions of the Chinese\nof the Lower Mainland, and resulting in several fatalities. Although prosecutions were instituted\nagainst certain Chinese, after considerable investigation-work by the local Police and this Department no convictions were obtained.\nRex vs. Charles Henry alias Sonny White (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094In this case one Frank Rosso, a storekeeper at North Vancouver, was found brutally murdered, and a strong case was built up, chiefly\non circumstantial evidence through the efforts of Constable D. C. Campbell, of the Vancouver\nDetachment, and his bloodhounds, pointing to the accused, White, a half-breed, as the murderer.\nOn October 26th, 1925, a verdict of \" guilty \" was rendered by an Assize Court jury and the\nprisoner sentenced to hang on January 14th, 1926. By order of the Court of Appeal a new trial\nhas been ordered in this case, to come up at the Vancouver Spring Assize.\nRex vs. Harold Berentsen (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094A record in bringing a case before the Courts was\nobtained in this prosecution. It arose from an alleged feud of long standing between two\nmembers of the crew of an ocean-going steamer, which culminated in one of the two being stabbed\nto death while the ship was at the Port of Vancouver. In order to allow the ship to proceed\non its way, special efforts were made to expedite the preliminary hearing and trial. The outcome\nwas almost a foregone conclusion from the commencement, and Berentsen was found \" guilty \"\nand sentenced to hang on January 18th, 1926, the crime having been committed on October 28th,\n1925. The sentence has since been reduced to life imprisonment by order of the Hon.'the\nMinister of Justice, a decision which, owing to certain extenuating circumstances made apparent\nat the trials, has met with general public approval.\nRex vs. Chang Sing (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This man was tried on a charge of murdering David Chang\nLew, one of the most prominent of his fellow-countrymen in British Columbia, at the Chop Suey\nHouse, Pender Street, Vancouver, in September, 1924. At the Spring Assize Chang Sing was\nacquitted.\nRex vs. Charlie Walkus (Indian) (Murder).\u00E2\u0080\u0094A charge of fatally shooting was laid against\nthe above, but the Police later recovering the body of Tommy Henderson, Indian, near Rivers\nInlet, this was changed to murder, and a special investigator, Dr. G. F. Curtis, was sent to make\na second inquest. He found that there had been an altercation and deduced that a rifle in the 16 Geo. 5 Report of the Superintendent of Provincial Police. Y 15\nhands of Walkus had gone off accidentally. Walkus was subsequently acquitted by the Assize\nCourt jury at Vancouver.\nRex vs. N*eganie (Indian) (Manslaughter).\u00E2\u0080\u0094The accused when drinking with other Indians\nat Chesacut Lake Reserve, Chilcotin, was alleged to have struck Louie Johnson, an elderly Indian,\nfrom which blow or kick Johnson never recovered. On June 9th, 1925, before His Lordship\nMr. Justice W. A. MacDonald at Prince Rupert Assizes, a verdict of \" not guilty \" was brought\nin and prisoner released. The witnesses in this case were most unsatisfactory.\nRobbeby with Violence.\nRex vs. Ross Watson.\u00E2\u0080\u0094This was a case arising out of the Nanaimo bank robbery, which took\nplace in December, 1924. Accused appeared for trial at the Nanaimo Spring Assize. The jury\nfailed to agree and the accused was kept in custody until the Nanaimo Fall Assize. On November\n2nd, 1925, accused appeared for his second trial on this charge, and the jury found him \" not\nguilty.\" He was thereupon discharged.\nRex vs. Stone, alias Rossi (Robbery with Violence).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This was a case arising out of the\nNanaimo bank robbery, and the accused was the first person to be punished for participation in\nthat crime. He appeared before Stipendiary Magistrate C. H. Beevor-Potts in the City Police\nCourt, Nanaimo, on August 27th, 1925, and upon pleading \" guilty \" was sentenced to eight years'\nimprisonment in the Penitentiary and twenty lashes.\nRex vs. Antone Moresco, alias Alfred Castro (Robbery with Violence).\u00E2\u0080\u0094The accused was\ncharged with robbery with violence in connection with the Royal Bank robbery at Nanaimo,\nwhich took place in December, 1924. He appeared in the City Police Court on October 16th,\n1925, at Nanaimo, and Magistrate C. H. Beevor-Potts sentenced him to eight years in the\nPenitentiary with twenty lashes, he having entered a plea of \" guilty.\"\nRex vs. William Bagley (Robbery with Violence).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This was another charge arising out\nof the Nanaimo bank robbery in December, 1924. On November 5th, 1925, William Bagley\nappeared for trial on the charge of robbery with violence, and upon being found \" guilty \" was\nsentenced to ten years in tbe Penitentiary with twenty lashes.\nRex vs. Ward (Robbery with Violence).\u00E2\u0080\u0094In this case the accused, in company with another\nman, entered the premises of the Imperial Bank of Canada at Creston at 2 o'clock in the\nafternoon, held up the manager and his assistant, robbed the safe of approximately $7,500, and\nleft the premises. Some bystanders, seeing something wrong, raised the alarm, and a posse,\nincluding Constable McLaren and a number of citizens, took up the pursuit, the bandits using\ntheir guns freely to avoid capture. Some of the citizens ran across one of these men before night\nand effected his arrest, the other man making his escape. He was particularly well aided in this\nby reason of a dense fog coupled with smoke from forest fires. Inspector Dunwoody arrived\nthere in company with Constables Mackenzie and King that evening and careful search was\nkept up for two days and two nights, but the same weather conditions still prevailing it was\nimpossible to get any trace of the man. It is assumed that this man got across the International\nBoundary, as a camp aferwards discovered showed that the bandits had made preparations for\ngoing out by Port Hill. Ward, .the man in custody, was sentenced to eight years and the lash\nby His. Honour Judge Forin.\nCity Hall and Capital Theatre Robberies, Vancouver.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Although these offences occurred in\n1923, it was not until this year that the perpetrators have been brought to justice. As a result\nof some good work by the Detective Branch of the Vancouver City Police, C. C. Thompson, alias\nHollywood; Frank de Paula, alias Machiel, alias Pelegrini; and John Howell, alias Howard,\nwere all committed for trial, and found \" guilty \" in connection with the city pay-roll robbery\nof over $76,000. The two first named were also found \" guilty \" of the Capital Theatre robbery\nof $2,680, each receiving sentences of fourteen years on the first charge and twelve years on the\nsecond, the same to run concurrently. A stay of proceedings was entered in Howell's case as\nhe was already serving an unfinished sentence in the Walla Walla Penitentiary, Washington.\nOther Cases.\nRex vs. Frank Mclsaac (Assault with Intent to Rob).\u00E2\u0080\u0094A complaint was made by telephone -\nby Mr. Duckering, a merchant of Hope, B.C., that a man had attempted to hold him up in his\nstore. Prompt response was given to the call by Constable Hazelton, Hope Detachment. Two\nmen were found in the store whom this officer had ordered out of town two hours previously. Y 16 British Columbia. 1925\nA third man, named Mclsaac, who had been seen in their company a short time prior to the\nholdup, was also arrested and identified by Mr. Duekering. On January Sth, 1926, Mclsaac was\nfound \" guilty \" and sentenced to one year's imprisonment, leniency being shown liim as he was\nunder the influence of liquor when he committed the offence.\nRex vs. Steve Bandich (Wounding with Intent).\u00E2\u0080\u0094On September 17th, 192:5, the accused\nattacked and twice stabbed a fellow-Russian whilst they were passengers from Anyox to Prince\nRupert on a C.N.R. steamer. Bandich was sentenced to three years' imprisonment.\nRex vs. Arthur Stewart (Indian) (Wounding).\u00E2\u0080\u0094Stewart attacked another Indian at Port\nEssington with an axe, causing him to lose the sight of one eye. Owing to the provocation by\nthe injured man a sentence of one year was imposed.\nRex vs. Arthur Bellos (Assault occasioning Bodily Harm).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This man, of Prince George,\nstruck another man over the head with some heavy material, and was sentenced to two and\na half years' imprisonment. This case is now pending appeal.\nRex vs. Alexander Bigoff (Forgery).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This man forged three cheques at Stewart in January,\n1925, by using the name of his cousin. Sentenced to two years on each charge, to run con-\ncurrrently.\nRex vs. Joseph Oscar Williams (Forgery).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This man passed two forged cheques on merchants of Smithers during September, 1925. Sentenced to two years on each charge, to run\nconcurrently.\nRex vs. William Keaist (Seduction).\u00E2\u0080\u0094On October 28th, 1925, William Keaist appeared for\ntrial at the Nanaimo Pall Assize, charged with seduction. The jury were unable to agree and\nwere therefore discharged. On November 10th accused was again tried on this charge. Again\nthe jury failed to reach an agreement, whereupon His Lordship Mr. Justice Murphy released\nKeaist on his own recognizance to come up for trial when called upon. The case was traversed\nto the next Assize.\nRex vs. Richard Harry Ainsworth (Procuring).\u00E2\u0080\u0094This case arose in the City of Vernon,\nwhere the accused had rented a house for himself and his alleged wife; they also had a young\ngirl with them. At the Vernon Pall Assize accused was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment\nby His Lordship Mr. Justice Morrison.\nRex vs. Henry Higginbottom (Seduction).\u00E2\u0080\u0094The accused in this case is an elderly man who\nresided on a ranch in Empire Valley, near Clinton, with his half-breed wife and daughter,\ntogether with their ward, Louise Carrigan. He had misconducted himself with his ward for a\nnumber of years. At Prince George Assize he was sentenced by His Lordship Mr. Justice\nMurphy to one year's imprisonment, leniency being shown him on account of his age..\nThe Doukhobor Situation.\nThis report would not be complete without some reference to the Doukhobor situation, which\nreached a climax about the beginning of 1925. The school question has always been a bone of\ncontention with these people, who live on the community system; every effort having been made\nby both the Police and School Departments to make these people observe the law, but with little\nsuccess.\nSome few years ago the more rabid fanatics began burning the schools, and in February,\n1925, practically the last standing school was burnt. It was quite apparent then that something\nmust be done to make the Doukhobors observe the law, and, accordingly, School Inspector Sheffield\nand Inspector Dunwoody were specially commissioned to deal with the situation. It is already\na matter of record the action they took in seizing the property of these people in order to meet\na fine of $3,500 which had heen imposed on them for non-attendance of the children at school.\nHow.pregnant with results these efforts were is clearly shown by the fact that the Doukhobors\nsince that time have rebuilt the burnt schools and to-day the accommodation is taxed to capacity.\nThis condition of affairs is one, I think, on which we can very well congratulate ourselves.\nA better spirit now seems to prevail amongst the Doukhobors, and I have reasonable grounds\nto believe that when their leader, Peter Veregin, Jr., arrives from Russia, the question of the\nobservance of other laws under the \" Vital Statistics Act,\" etc., can be successfully dealt with. 16 Geo. 5 Report of the Superintendent of Provincial Police.\nY 17\nX\ni\u00E2\u0080\u0094i\nQ\nfc\nH\nPh\nPh\nO\nrr\nQ\nW\nH\nrtH\nEH\nft\nCO\nH\nI\nc\nM\nQ\nfa\nO\nH\nQ\nIBIjj, Sni)i b M v\n'SIBjiiBJCp-l^lArti\npffB S.[BSSIU_ISIQ\n'SnopOfAuo^\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0p,'jo:(uo sosbq\nn?i.iXSuirt)iT_;Avy\n\"S[BA\BjpiniA\\npUB SJBSSIUISIQ\n3 i>\n02\nS\nr o\n5\n'SUOipiAUO^\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0p,:_I.)_(UO scaup\nIBUXSUIUKAVY\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0SIBA\BJPII11A\\npUB SjX'SSIUlStQ\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2SUOt-(3|AU00\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0p larjtre sosb;j\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0IBiJXSnpiRAiY\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2SlBAVBjpiniA\\nptre s-fRssnusiQ\n'SUOipiAUO,)\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0p .Id4U0 S SUQ\nIBiJXSnii^^Y\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2SIBAVtJJplUTA\\nPUB SIBSSIXUSIQ\n'SUOIJOIAUO,)\n\"P X9|U9 S, SBO\nIiu.ij.Sutil^AVY\n'SIBAVBJptUTAV\nPUB SIBSSTUISIQ\n\"SUOtrtpJAUOO\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0p -.104113 K..SB3\nrH I -H \ tO rH\nH IO H t- ffl N H I tO\n N H H t- Cl N H\nri -HH Tj.
