MOURN COMRADES
5000 Attend an Impressive
Memorial Observance at
st. Patrick's.
LAUDED BY MGR. LAvELLE

With Fine Effect in Great =,

The last rays Of dying sunlight cast
their spectral shafts through the stained
windows Of st. Patrick's Cathedral yes
terday afternoon. tinting the haze of In
cense that blew from the high altar,
when the clear, sad notes Of taps sounded
for the heroic dead Of the Police Depart
ment
Two buelers stood in the Swallowed
darkness under the choir loft and blew
the notes just after 5000 policemen who
attended the memorial service had sung
the STAR Spangled Banner" 1t was the
close Of a service that wac most i'm
pressive.
In the later afternoon, with the band
blaring Onward Christian Soldiers" the
police trooped down Fifth avenue end
into the cathedral As they reached the
vestibule they took up the song. and the
procession, headed by the white haired
Mgr. Michael J. Lavelle, Father John ].
Coogan. the police chaplain, and three
Of the tallest policemen carrying a huge
golden crucifix and lighted candles. went
to the sanctuary. There the monsignor
mounted the green carpeted stairs to the
altar and the police turned over the
cross and candles to white surpliced
acolytes, and the vesper service was be-
gun.
The psalms were chanted by seven
young priests and the benediction was
sung by the Police Glee Club.
Mgr. Lavelle, in welcoming the police
to the cathedral for the memorial ser
vice, said:
I'm common with all right thinking
men and women I want to express the
sentiment Of Archbishop Hayes and my
self that this police force Is probably
the highest developed in any civilized
government mn "A
| curity of our lives and our homes and
whatever God has given US in the way
OF earthly possessions. The perfection
or our force Is one of the most marvel
Gus developments In human history.
People expect prodigious things of
the police. They must be trained ath-
letes, Beau Brummels in dress. Chester
| fields in courtesy you must be doctor,
lawyer and interpreter. and at the same
time be able to see straight, lions in
courage, and ready to die at your post.
No wonder We hold the police in the
highest possible regard and are grateful
to you.
This war has taught the world a
few things that will never be forgotten
1t has taught that II you want to make
man all that he Is capable of being
or department all that 1t should be.
IL you want to make the world a garden
! OF happiness and prosperity and peace.
to put down Bolshevism and socialism,
and all the other detestable isrns, and
have true religion in your heart, people
must frame their lives upon the Ten
Commandments and the Sermon on the
Mount. 1t was failure to live religious
lives and getting away from religious
principles that led to the war. and the
world will never be as It should and
can be until the detestable theories that
caused this war are extirpated, and the
golden rule epitome OF the Ten Com
mandments become the standard OF the
entire world"
Father Coogan told the police that the
city OF New ork was never cleaner, nor
was the department ever more efficient

DRY LAW ENDORSED
BY 26 GOVERNORS
Seventeen Mayors and Police
Chiefs Also Praise Pro-
hibition.

summary Of tho erect Of enforced
prohibition in twenty-eisht States and
In ten Of the largest cities In the coun-
try as viewed by the Governors Of the
States and the Mayors and chiefs Of
police of the cities is given in pamphlet
entitled THE Verdict" published by a
Boston committee appointed to obtain
testimony from representative and
reliable soprces The committee 10
headed by Lemuei II. Murlin, president
of Boston University, and the other
members are John NJ. Barker Of the uni
vers!ty faculty: John L. Bates, former
Governor of Massachusetts; George w.
Coleman, president Of the Open Forum
National Council, and Henry I. Harri-
man. former president OF the Boston
Chamber Of Commerce.
No opinion h given from Florida, Mon
tana, Ohio and Wyoming. where pro-
h!bition has not been In effect more than
four months. but In twenty-eight other
States the summary shows that twenty
six Governors gave a verdict for pro-
hibition, one was against 1t and one
made no reply.
From ten cities seventeen Mayors and
chiefs Of police gave a verdict for pro-
hibition one. the chief of police Of San
Antonio, Tex, said prohibition did not
prohibit, and ono officisl failed to reply.
The reply of Gov. Albert T. Sleeper
of Michigan. one Of the latest States to
adopt prohibition. La Characteristic of
movement. Gov. Sleeper wrote:
"our probationary law has already
effected results of considerable impor-
lance. Arrests for drunkenness all over
the State have been cut down to about
one-Quarter. Business men report that
bills are paid moro promptly, and the
effect Of prohibition on general business
has been good"
Gov. Ben W. Olcott of Oregon wrote
"OW experience under bone dry statute
has been for the benefit OF the general
public welfare. Industries have pros
pered. Business conditions are acknowl-
edged to be of the best. Old brewery
buildings are housing other industries
A material decrease is shown in the
number of men In prison. 1t Is my firm
belief to-day the great majority of the
people of Oregon are In favor Of pro-
hibition."
Gov. O. A. Larrazole of New Mexico
was the only State Executive to report
unfayorably upon q bone dry prohibition
law, although opposed to the saloon.
Gov. Larrazole wrote:
II believe that every decent American
Is In favor of closing the saloon, but
when We go further than the teachings
of Christ and say that a man shall not
take q drink we are adopting law
which IL and always will be a failure
The others States whose Governors re-
ported In favor of enforced prohibition
were: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas
