 On behalf of the commissioners Louis M. Ullman, president of the board, expressed the sentiments of the body for the ex-chief in this speech:
 "Gentlemen We have assembled here tonight in our official as well as in our individual capacities to testify to
 our personal regard and esteem for
 our dear friend, the now honorably re-
 tired chief of our police department. A long official acquaintance with him has led us to know him both as a police official and as man, and we are, therefore, I feel, peculiarly quail fled to testify intelligently to his thor
 ough qualifications for the position which for so many years he so ably and conscientiously filled.
 Speaking for myself, would say that it is with peculiar feelings of affection for our friend that I stand here to-
 night to say to f1trn few words of of
 ficlal good bye, for the reason that he and my lamented father were fellow members of the police force of our city some forty years ago, and that
 friendship which they so long ago had for each other has come down to us and is one of the reasons why our re- lations, both officially and personally, have been so cordial and so close. Mir Chief-for as such we will al- ways hold you-speaking for the board of police commissioners, both indtvid- uallv and collectively, I desire to say to vou that we exceedingly regret that the exigencies of old age made it neoes-
 sary for you to retire from the depart- ment as it's executive head. But we recognize that 1t could not well be avoided, and as it had to occur, II cer- tainly must forever remain a pleasure to YOU to know that your retirement was not compelled or requested, but that it was of your own sweet volltion' and that in your retirement you have taken with you the respect and esteem of our fellow citizens, to whom you have always been a most efficient, courteous and loyal official
 IA few weeks ago that respect and esteem and the honor in which you were held by your fellow citizens were manifested in a testimonial dinner, which must always be to you a most pleasant memory.
 We of the board of police commis- sioners know how well you deserved ithe honor that that splendid gathering of men thus conferred upon you. And we of the board. at this time. desire
 to testify in this little official family
 circle to our personal regard and es- teen for you, and to put that regard 1 and esteem in some more concrete form
 than words, which so easily fly away
 and are forgotten, and have therefore 1 determined to manifest it in the form
 of this loving cup, which shall, we i hope, ever remain irnperishable and
 be handed down from you to your chill
 dren, so that you and they may al-
 ways be reminded of what we thought of him whose name is inscribed upon
 it.
 l Take it, dear chief. and know that l with 1t goes our love and affection for
