His Courage and Christian De- votion Praised by the Rev. Father Cummings. THE BIER FLOWER LADEN Remains Followed by His Late Com- rades and Heads of the Department to Holy Cross. Police All that was mortal of the late Lieu- tenant William F. Burke was born from St. Charles Borromeo's Catholic Church on Eighteenth and Shotwell Streets yesterday morning to Holy Cross Cemetery, where the body was consigned to the grave, covered with such floral offerings as are rarely seen. The expressive word He died doing his duty,” told the history of the man At the late residence of deceased, Shotwell street, at an early hour yes terday morning, thousands gathered to take a last glimpse of the features of the dead. The body reposed in state in the front parlor of the house. The features were calm and peaceful. Upon the coffin had been placed cut flowers and handsome floral pieces of every description and in gr quantity.

The detail of police then marched in and occupied seats that had been reserved for them in the body of the church. A solemn high requiem niass was sald, Father James McDonhld, sub- deacon, being the celebrant. Schmidt’s “Requiem Mass” was sung by the choir, composed of Miss M. A. Stevens, soprano; Miss May Corlett, alto; Man- lloyd Jones, tenor; L. A. Larsen, bas- so, and Mrs. Paul B. Hay, organist and director. Before the close of the mass the Rev. Father Cummings, who had known the deceased and admired him for his many acts of goodness, delivered a short eulogy. After having read a chapter in the Bible from Thessaloni- ans and from St. John, he said: ““When the epitaph of our cead friend comes to be written the words will be, “Died doing his duty.’ He was a man devoted to his duty, faithfu! under all | circumstances, all condition~, death, though sad, was a f.ting close to an honorable and dutiful gife. There is no need, gentlemen, to sp,ak to you of the worth of him as a n#in and an officer. You who knew himg who were with him night and day figh unto twenty years, knew his aeal merit, how hard he worked, how Faithful to duty. It was known to yai, as it is now known to the whole - city, how brave he was. He bore the: honor and respect of his superiors: he was looked upon as a model. To him caty meant more than the mere answe?ing to roll call or keeping the peace in various ways or as a guardian of th» public. His Christian character and his de- votion to his church was &welt on at some length. Continuing. the speaker said: “His death, his devotion to duty, we feel assured will recommend him favorably to the generous Christ, and of him like- wise we know it will be said: ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant: rvice the Church | to | these twere The casket was fol- | al and his | The illustration represents the N while her cargo is being taken out b from a fifty-foot cliff on the shore a the ship.

These, with a | squad of twenty-five policemen under command of Sergeant Bethel, escorted the body to the Holy Cross Cemetery, | where it was interred. | The escort from ti# church to_the train consisted of Chief of Police Lees | with fifty men from Company A, Cap- | tain Wittman; fifty men from Com- | pany B, Captain Spillane; and fifty men from Company C, Captain Gillin. Following the police the representa- | tives of the Widows' and Orphan: sociation marched. The officers were: John Martin, president; John Fitz- henry, vice-president; Sam Rankin, financial secretary; and Directors But- » | terworth, Williams, Houghtaling and Anderson.

The floral offerings were numerous and expensive. It required two wagons to convey them to thecemetery.

COWARDICE SUSPECTED. The -Actions of Officers Ken- nedy and Wilkinson to Be Investigated. Detective Cody has been specially de- tailed by Chief Lees to make a thor- | ough investigation into the actions of | Officers Wilkinson and Kennedy at the |time of the murder of Lieutenant | Burke. | Just what they were doing when their | officer lay in front of the miser’s cabin has been & matter of some conjecture, and it is strongly suspected that they | behaved in a most cowardly manner. | If it can be proven that they willfully | got themselves out of the way of dan- ger and allowed the wounded man to take his chances at the hands of the frenzied assassin no time will be lost in ridding the department of the odium | of their presence. Sergeant Russell has been instructed to prepare models of the shanty and surroundings, and these will be used as | evidence in the coming trial. | Apart from the actions of the two of- | ficers and the distrust in which they | have been viewed, stands the character | of George Cashel, the driver, who is be- | ing everywhere lauded as the hero of the hour. His many friends on the force are preparing a handsome reward for him as a token of their esteem for | a man who did not know how to flinch in time of danger. | | | HOFF PROSECUTION CLOSED.

The park will be reached by 2 o’clock, and for an hour, until game is called, the fans will be given an opportunity to divide their attention between ad- miring the colonel (who will positively be on exhibition) and listenin= to an excellent concert. Jim McDonald will umpire the game. The California League has secured his services until his departure for the East to fill his | | contract with the National League, and | for the next three weeks he will give | decisions at the big park at Eighth and Harrison streets. The children of all the orphan asy- lums in town have enthusiastically ac- cepted the invitation extended by the league to attend the opening game, and | the bleachers will be given over to the little ones. The colonel will see that they are properly supplied with pea- nuts and popcorn. The grounds are in excellent condi- tion for the game, a vast amount of work having been performed during the week on them. The fences have been moved back sixteen feet, giving that much more space for the players. The opening game will be between San | Francisco and San Jose, and when Um- | pire McDonald vells “play ball” they will line up as follows: San Francisco—H. Krug., shortstop or itcher; Kelly shortstop or third ?-:ase; Murphy, first base; K. Krug, second base; Hearty, left fleld; Pyne, center fleld; Broekhoft, right fleld; Stroecker, catcher; | Lee or Iberg, pitcher.

For Sunday the league managers have secured an extra attraction in the person of big Jim Jeffries, the pusilist, | who knows all about the game and will double up with McDonald in umpiring. Charlie Chase of Stockton has also been appointed to the-staff of umpires, nndkthe third will be selected next week. —_————— . The Club Woman Finds herself wittily dissected in rhyme by Ella M.

Director Ragan & Brother-in-Law of the Man Who Has Charge of the School Buildings. John J.

Mr. O'Brien’s duties require his in- spection of all the school buildings, to ascertain what they need in the way of additions, repairs, etc., and to see that the necesary work is done. This in itself would seem to require about all the inspector’s time, and certainly | it was the supposition whenthe position was established and the salary placed at the comfortable figure named above that the man who filled the place would give his time to the city. But Mr. O'Brien evidently has dif- ferent views on the subject, and is a believer in the old adage that “a public office is a private snap.” For although the gentleman has held the position ever since the present board went into office, he has found plenty of time to engage in the business of contractor on He is also a brother-in-law of | the outside and to superintend his pri- | vate work when the occasion required. One such job in particular, which The Call has succeeded in bringing to light, will illustrate how Mr. O’Brien has used the time he should have given to his public duties to carry out his pri- | vate enterprises.

Such a rule, Mr. Bar- rington said, would work great hard- ships on many teachers, particularly those of the night schools, who are paid but $50 a month and are obliged to seek other employment during the days, but there were restrictions placed upon even the teachers in this respect. The president admitted that 0'Brien was a brothér-in-law of Director Ra- gan, but said he had been appointed to his position as inspector before the doc- tor became a member of the board. ‘What, if any, action will be taken in O’Brien’s cas: Mr. Barrington could not say. ——e———————— The raflways of the world carry over 40,000,000 pass ngers weekly.
