Inspection of the Ensley police depart ment was made last night at the police assembly room by Police Inspector Perry Turner and Chief of Police Martin Eagan. The entire police department was on hand with the exception of two officers who are on their vacation. Judge J. T. Low cry acted as chairman and introduced Judge Turner to the officers and well coned him in the department
 Judge Turner gave an interesting ad- dress to the officers, stating that he had come to them as friend and whenever he could render any assistance to the policemen in reference to their duty he would be glad to do so He stated that 1t was not always the officer who makes the most arrests who is the best police man but it is the officer who keeps down crime and prevents any violation of the law that was most wanted He stated further that it was better to teach peo- pie to respect the law than to punish them and that the policeman who exer- cises common sense in the discharge of hls duty makes better officer than the one who knows all about the law
 He praised Capt. M. J. Donlin for his efficient service in handling the Ensley territory and took occasion to state that Chief Eagan was one of the best and most efficient chiefs of police who has ever been at the head of the Birming- ham police department
 Chief Eagan was called on to make a speech, but asked to be excused stating however that the Ensley department was one of the best in the Birmingham dis trict. Captain Donlin made a few re- marks and asked Inspector Turner not to cut off any of his men. as he had not lost single man in over three years He said they were thoroughly organized and he was getting fine results from them He also asked that if any of his men were cut off that they be given a place somewhere else if they have been in the service longer than some of the men in Birmingham. Following the talks several questions pertaining to the police depart ment were taken up and discussed and a watermelon cutting held, which was very much enjoyed.
