Assistant Prosecuting Attorney ". A. Redden stated all Americans of Irish descent could rally to the sup- port of this movement as the Gaelic League had already walked a revolu- ton in Ireland. It's aims were educa- tfonal, not political ones, and it sought to perfect the character and morality of individual Irishmen. A nation was made up of individuals in the aggregate and as the Gaelic League was moulding the character and aspirations of Irishmen into, the highest and noblest directions it would produce a nation that would be irresistible.
 A communication was also ordered to be sent to Mrs. H. A. Davenport, wife of the rector of the Peoples church, congratulating her on an ex- cellent and instructive public lecture on Ireland which she delivered during the past week as a result of five months sympathetic observation in the South of Ireland.
 A letter was also sent to the direc- tors of a local newspaper complain ing that an article in a recent issue resuscitated a non-nationai and non- existent type of Stage Irishmen.
 The president adjourned the meet ing announcing the date of the 1ec- ture as Sunday, Feb. 12.

board would endeavor to so fulfill ifs duties that its conduct would reflect credit upon his administration
 Commissioner Baldwin, taking up the thread of Mayor Buckingham's address, and mindful of, his experi- ence of many years as a police com missioner which included the presi- dency of the board outlined his views of the duties of such an officer thusly:
 T take it that a man is not ap- pointed police commissioner to look and sneak around upon the members of the department The board is to act as an advisory board to the Su- perintendent of Police. The board is to advance men who are deserving of promotion 1t is to make suggestions for the betterment of the departme eht to the superintendent. But these sug- gestions are to come from the board, as a board. and not from the in dividual members of the board''
 The board had little business of routine nature. Charges were lodged against Special Officer Peter Mooney. tender of the East Washington ave- nue drawbridge, as the result of d disturbance at the bridge several weeks ago.

FATHER 0'FLANACAN TO LECTURE HERE
 SUNDAY FEB. I2.
Attractive Letter Read at Meet ing of Gaelic League From Irish Envoy-Thanks to Mrs. H. A. Davenport

At a meeting of the Irish Language Society last evening assurances were received from all the Irish societies of cordial support to Father O'Flan- agans forthcoming lecture and steps were taken to organize reception committed that will include all the prominent 1rishmen of the State. In- Vitations were forwarded to the Gov ernor of the State, the mayor, city officials, and all the Catholic clergy
 Father O'Flanagan, one of the en- voys from Ireland, whose reception is being planned wrote from Wash ington thanking the Irish citizens or Bridgeport for the efforts they are making to help in, the revival of the Gaelic tongue in Ireland stating: ''The language of Ireland is the ma turaI birthright of the Irish race. That the language has fallen away so much is a loss to us all and we must make it our business to restore it. Everything of Ireland has been broken down by past oppression but the language must be built up again. The most that any of our people can hope to own of Irish soil is few acres, but every word in the language and every noble idea in Irish litera- ture belongs to each one of us. Our people have suffered imprisonment and death for the right to live on tnelr own SOIL, 10 eat the product ol their own toll. and to make their own laws. Yet the speech that feeds the soul is more than the bread that sus- tains the body, and nation must have language before it can have law. If the language be foreign the laws will also be foreign even if they are administered by ourselves. Let us help our people to stay at home and breathe the fresh air of our Irish hill sides rather than the reek of the English factory towns. Let us hark- en to the echoes that have come ring ing down the centuries for St. Colum rather than the chug-chug of ma- terialistic England.
 II am glad there are so many con-. verts in Bridgeport to this grandest of modern movements. Some of our people may be slow in coming into our ranks but in they must come even as the thirsty stag must come to the stream"

layed crowd had. called him names, Mooney will be on trial at the next meeting of the board. He is charged with conduct unbecoming an officer.
 That the finances of the department are running about neck and neck with the appropriation was shown when Commissioner Baldwin asked for enlightenment on that point. Commissioner Miller, the financial ex- pert of the board, promptly extracted memoranda from his inside pocket showing the exact condition of the cash account. For the 3 months end ing Jan. 1 the department has spent and it has for the re- maining three months $33, 3,902.94. This gives a small leeway over the actual salary list and if possible the Bertillion system will be installed and repairs made upon the layout of the room.

succeed James n. AcrSauWs
 George M. Baldwin, the newly ap- pointed Republican police commission CT, in assuming the duties of his posi- tion is merely taking up task with which he is perhaps more familiar than any other resident of the city. Mr. Baldwin has served the city as police commissioner for nine and one- half years during six years of this period as president of the commission. Rich in experience, gifted with admir- able foresight and equanlmity, a man of strong, logical convictions, he has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to cope with any situation that is likely to arise before the body that guides the police department.
 MT. Baldwin is a native Bridgeport CT and the secret of his years is dis closed from the fact that he is the organizer of the '54 club, a fact that his youthful spirit and appearance belie Educated principally in the public schools of Bridgeport he soon launched into the business world, at the age of r. For two score years he has been in the hardware business, most of the time on the road, but the interests of T. Hawley 6 Co, the old established concern of which he is a member.
 Mr. Baldwin's gratuitous services for the advancement of the city's in- terest are an attribute of heredity. His father, Samuel W. Baldwin, the patriarch of Bridgeport's municipal life, has been 50 years a member of the Sinking Fund Commission and for 25 years was a fire commissioner, weathering many municipal storm, particularly in the tumultuous times when the old volunteer companies and the early municipal companies fgur- ed in violent clashes.
 Appointed to the police commission by Mayor Frank Clark in 1895, Geo. NJ. Baldwin served continuously for nine and one-ha1f years, and most of that period was president of the board.
 MT. Baldwin is prominent socially and fraternally. He comes of old Bridgeport stock, his great grandfath- CT. on his mothers side. the Rev. Eli jah Waterman, having been one of the early pastors of the North church. Externally he is of equally as we'll es- tabl!shed Park City progeny.
 The new commissioner is past commander of Hamilton Commandery, Knights Templar, a. member of Bridgeport lodge. B. P. o. E., and was one of the organizers of the Algon- quin club. Several years ago he was the president of the Connecticut Com mercial Travellers association. He re- sides with his wife at 232 Courtland street.
