temporary illness of Donovan, decided to
withdraw the Chinatown squad. Ser

made a brilliant record. Ably assisted
by Police officers Campbell, Saye, Lyons,
ing number of games that were con-
sidered impregnable by the former squads.
In his anxiety to suppress gambling in
Chinatown Donovan overworked himself,
and as the result he became i'll. Chief
Lees, on learning of his condition. ordered
him to stay away from the Chinese quar-
ter until he became convalescent. Despite
the order of the head of the department
Donovan, evidently anxious about his
men, frequently visited Chinatown Just
to see what was going on, as he ex-
pressed it. Realizing that his impaired
! health would not allow him to continue
! in his determined fight against the law
! breakers Of the Chinese quarter, Chief
! Lees decided to withdraw him and his
! squad.
Sergeant Duke was selected by the
| Chief to take Donovans place. and at his
suggestion he was allowed to pick the men
| that compose his squad.
Donovan to-day leaves on two weeks
vacation. On his return he will be as
| signed to duty at the OFarren street sta
| ton to take the place Of Sergeant Duke.
