fought off the complaint, however. and
when acting as a patrolman always
did his duty and repeatedly won the
commendation of his superiors.
HONESTY NEVER QUESTIONED.
The tribute paid to Captain Burnett
by all that knew him is that his hon
esty as a police officer had never been
called into question. AS policeman.
sergeant, lieutenant and captain of po-
lice he always did his duty with such
marked degree of fidelity and abili-
ity that his name was frequently men
toned by his superiors and eventually
placed on the honor roll. Not one of
his fellow members of the police force
or any one who ever had official bust
ness win him was ever heard to saw
that he had received other than abso-
lutely square and courteous treatment.
His death has caused no small degree
of sadness in the Police Department.

For thirteen years he served as a
patrolman. Former Chief Whitman
and Chief of Police Dinan patrolled
adjoining beats. All three rose SIM
ultaneously almost to positions of con-
fidence and trust in the department.
In 1900 Burnett was made a sergeant
of police. On August l, 1902, he sue
cessfully passed his examinations for
a 1ieutenancy and was appointed. His
next promotion was on April 26, 1894.

A. In October of the same year he was
appointed to the position he occupied
when death overlook him.
The heroism of Captain Joe Burnett
was never shown to a better aGvanta ge
than during the days of excitement and
confusion following the quake and fire.
He was a very i'll man and was SUP
jcct to repeated attacks of the mall
ady which finally carried him off. AL
though begged by Chief of Police Di-
nan to take a needed rest, Captain Bur-
nett refused, as he considered 1t his
duty to assist in bringing order out
of chaos. Six weeks ago, when all Of

In speaking of the life's work of
Captain Burnett, Chief of Police Dinan
said:
Captain Joe Burnett was man
whose friendship was true as steel
and worth more than its weight in
gold. He never told a lie and never
did an unkind act. As an executive
officer he did not have a superior on
the force. He organized the detective
branch of the department in such a
manner that its fame has spread over
the world. In losing him the commun-

Police Department an efficient and
