LOVING CUP FOR
SERGEANT BROOKS
Services Of Popular officer Rec
ognized by Police Benevolent
Association.
SPEECH BY PRIEST ! MORRIS c'F'
Annual Picnic TO Be Held july
oath at the Fair
Grounds.
SPEECH BY PRIEST MORRIS

Sergeant Robert J. Brooks was called
last night before the board Of directors
or the Police Benevolent Association
and presented with handsome silver
loving cup in token Of the unselnsn
services he has rendered to the as
sociation. 1t Is said Of Sergeant Brooks
that he has achieved more and secured
more life subscribers to the associa-
ton than all the other members com
bined, and 1t was in recognition of
his unusual effort in its behalf that
the token was last night bestowed.
The presentation was made by Mr..
L. q. Norris. president of the asso-
citation, who. in a short speech before
the members present. spoke In the
highest praise OF Sergeant Brooks, and
said that more was owing to his
effort than to any other man or to
any set OF men combined.
He thought 1t fitting, therefore, that
his services should be recognized while
he, was yet alive to hear and receive
the commentator OF his fellows,
rather than to wait until after he was
gone and then say Of him that he had
lived well and that he had been good
and faithful servant. In view of this,
the board OF directors had decided to
present him with some token which
he could have with him always as a
remembrance that his good deeds had
been recognized during his life and
that his fellows had seen fit to be-
stow upon him some mark Of that
recognition. He then presented the
cup.
Sergeant Brooks replied In a few ap-
propriate words, thanking the direc-
tors for their Kindness, and assuring
them that their words of praise We're
more dear to him than even the cup
itself.
The token was inscribed with the
following legend:
Presented to Sergeant Robert j.
Brooks by the board of directors as a
token of appreciation for unselfish SER
vices rendered TO the Police Benevolent
Association, July S. 1907"
Sergeant Brooks has collected nearly
| $4,000 within the past fiscal year OF
the association, and this is but an
.exampleso OF what he has done in pre-
|fvious years.

| bers on Its pension list-Sergeants

up his mind that when his time was up he would Kill

The assurance Of the detectives that they would
catch Pete without the assistance of LIZ was not JUS

becoming way of wearing her clothing. The officers
were not ashamed Of their company

Fogarty and Flynn walked in, and Pete exclaimed
"And you've done it,"
Pete struck Liz in the face with his fist and she fell

Flynn sprang upon Pete and laid his scalp open with

she could bound up his wound and went with the or

not speak to her nor notice her. After Pete
locked she hid her bruised face with her veil and
went home.

One evening, when Pete had been in the Tombs for
more than month, Lizzie wandered into the back
