march OF his comrades with him."
Father Sullivan said In his funeral
address. "There is glamor to the
work OF the man In the army or navy,
but with the policeman II Is differ
ent. He must grope hts way In me
dark and be ready at a seconds no
tice TO fight for his life. and always
ready TO stay to the end Of whatever
struggle comes. 1t
''Guarnieri faced bullets before this
God spared him to face them again.
Twice did he serve ms an example to
all the other mon of tho force. While
We have such men as this ono who
died In performance OF his duty we
need have no fear Of the fiaf of red
In our streets. The Stars and Stripes
will noat forever here and our army
Of blue will sec that II does"
Among the men who heard the
praise Of Guarnieri from the altar of
st. Anthony OF Padua were Lieut.. De-
tective NJ. +. Fay. who was shot four
times In combat with two thieves In
the Bronx and who still carries two
bullets In his stomach: Lieut.. Detec-
two Mulhall, whose specially Is max
Ing river rescues. and who once dove
Into sewer to save a small boy;
Carrao. who grabbed up a lighted
TO prevent Black Hand murder;
Lieut.. Detective Stall, the first man
TO receive the Rhinelander medal for
bravery, and n score OF others who
| had come within an ace OF paying
with their lives for their devotion to
duty.
At tho end OF the requiem mass
| the procession moved-the casket
now being placed In the hearse--east

then to the plaza OF the Williamsburg
Bridge. the body was taken thence
across the bridge to Calvary Gem
etery In Brooklyn and tho police
escort was disbanded.
| For the immediate relief Of the little
family left penniless In the dark little
HAT over the sullivan street grocery
store Commissioner Mckay to-day
supplied $500 from the X. A. c. Smith
fund. There was an abundance OF
roses and other flowers in that tiny
and dark flat this morning, but the
little grocery store Csownstairs, which
supports the mother Of the policcman's
widow. was closed and there was no
money coming In. The sale OF the
entire stock OF the little shop would
not have paid one-haif of the expenses
Of burial.
Before II was time TO close the
casket practically all the members Of
the police force had climbed up the
narrow stairs and had taken a last
look at the face OF Guarnieri. The
body was laid out under canopy of
lace and roses and was dressed In
uniform. In his hand was the soap
ular he had worn when he was killed
and beside him was his night stick
and on his breast the badge he had
not dishonored. He was of massive
build. deep OF chest and broad OF
shoulders. His set Jaws were those
Of a fighter.
Until the final moment his widow
young woman OF the black eyed
black haired Italian type, sat beside
tho coffin with her three little girls
at her feet. There was no hysteria
} from any OF them. They had cried
out the nnal bitterness OF their
distress.
Police Commissioner ID. I. McKa,
received to-day a check for $3.50 e
be added to the 1000 contributed b,
Commissioner Smith to the LegioT
OF Honor fund. II was sent by Rob
