OF The POLICE
CFrom Monday,s AdvertIser.l

(From Mondays Advertiser)
Anyone who would have Sheriff Iau-
kea and Chief Taylor battling with
relations, official and social,
would have been routed yesterday
at tho police station during
the regular monthly inspection.
Chief Taylor's resignation has been
handed in and he is to sever relations
with the police department, on the 10th.
AS yesterday was the time set for the
regular inspection, the day when all Of
the force would be present, it was n
happy thought Of the Sheriff to have
Mr.. Taylor say his goodbye. The Sher-
if first addressed the men, speaking in
Hawaiian. He told them of the cir
cumstance of Mr.. Taylor's departure
for other lines of business because he
believed his work would be pleasanter,
That while he regretted more than he
could express the action the chief had
decided upon he would not put any.
thing in his way of improving his con-
dition. He regretted particularly his
leaving at time when there wonld bc
SO much activity. The duties Of she
office he had performed with consum-
mate skill and he had only the high-
est praise for his work in improving
the status of the department to a very
great extent. Extending his hand to,
ward Taylor the latter took II and
shook it warmly as the Sheriff wished
him aloha.
Captain Parker then spoke to the men
Of the good work Mr.. Taylor had done
and to Taylor telling him how much
the force appreciated it. He said there
might have been differences between
men at times but there was nothing
lasting and nothing which the strongest
imagination could build into insubordt-
nation.
Chief Taylor then stepped forward
and said that while his work is to be
easier than that which he has done
for the past eighteen months it would
not be any pleasanter. His relations
with the men had been cordial and
while there may not have been perfect
accord always in the matter of policy
the differences were not greater than
would occur between business men. He
thanked the men for their evidence
of regard for his wishes and their
prcmptness in the execution of his or
/, ders. He had done what he always bc.
lieved was for the good of the depart
ment and the good of the city and his
services would always be Mt the call
of the Sheriff should he need them. He
then shook hands cordially with the
Sheriff remarking Mt the same time that
he regretted leaving but that he could
not express the regret he felt at part
ing with Sheriff Iaukea.
The Sheriff asked if there were any
of the special service men who cared to
say any parting words to their CHIEF
but none answered. Joe Leal who stood
apart from the detective force spoke
up. He wanted to thank Chief Taylor
for all of the assistance he had given
him during the eighteen months they
had been associated. He praised his
work and said he had always been
treated in way by the chief that left
a pleasant thought in his memory ana
it would always remain there. Captain
Parker again spoke to the men and tbS
Sheriff made few further remarks.
All of the officers, foot, mounted and
bicycle, the detective force and Officer

nected in various capacities with tho
department were present in dress uni,
