Citizens Honor Retiring Police Officers Mayor Of Cork Disappears Allies Disagree Conference
REFUSE TO LET GOLD SHIP LIQUOR
Chief Burke And LieutendnfS
Honored By Citizens; Speakers
Ldud Their Long Service Here

But few holders of public office
can boast of being honored at such
a testimonial as was rendered Chief
of Police Patrick J. Burke, Lieuten-
ant Clarkson ]. Dunham and Lieu
tenant James Mullgan at the New
Packer House here 3st night. These
three police officers, who have been
in the department for more than a
quarter of a century. will retire on
TuesdayNof next week.
1t was a representative body of
1s5 men that gathered at o'clock
last night in the local hotel to pay
tribute to the men who spent the
prime of their lives in the service
of the city.
1t is doubtful il any of the three
retiring officers will ever forget the
occasion as it was of the impressive
type which fingers long in the
minds of men who were as deeply
touched as were Chief Burke and
Lieutenants Mulligan and Dunham.
Promptly at o'clock the jazz or
chestra of Fred O'Brien commenced
to play and furnished music
throughout the night. Soon the
diners had all arrived and by 1880
an elaborate menu was being serv-
ed under the watchful eye of
mine host" the ever obliging Peter
Floersch. After the turkey dinner
had been partaken of an dthe men
had settled back and lit their ci-
gars or cigarettes, Recorder Harold
L. Pickersgill, the toastmaster, be-
gan the speechmaking.
Before introducing the first
speaker the POSTMASTER pointed out
that Chief Burke had served the
city in the capacity of an officer of
the law for more than one-third of
a century. The recorder carried his
audience back to the night when
Chief Burke first donned his police
uniform and went out to patrol the
streets of Perth Amboy, then far
different place than it is today. The
speaker declared that during his
many years of association with the
chief had always found him to be
man who played no politics. treat

or creed and was always willing to
