FROM sToKEHoLE TO
DIRECTOR OF POLICE
UNPARALLELED Record Made b. .Bob,' McKenty Of
PhiladeLpfia
Philadelphia.

From stokehole in the gas works

Once a policeman, at an humble
salary of $2.38 per day, now head of
the same force, having full charge Of
5000 men, and enjoying salary Of
$4,000 year. RI
This little summary OF the high
spots in the life of Robert j. McKenty,
just appointed director of public safe
ty in Philadelphia, is new and most
thrilling illustration Of the opportuni-
ties of American municipal life. b
Mr.. McKenty is no politician, he
had no backing for the place save his
good record, and when Mayor Weave.
named him as successor to Col. Shell
don Potter on the latters resignation,
the most surprised man of many sur.
prised Philadelphians was Mr.. Nc
Kenty himself.
Every body calls him Bob in Pink

on calling him in spite Of his recent

him in such good stead during all the
years of danger he experienced as po-
liceman, detective and superintendent
of Philadelphia's leading penal insti-
tuition in which are kept one thousand
desperate criminals.
In 1884 he was made sub-police-
man by Mayor Smith, and SO excellent
was his record that in a short time he
was promoted to the regular force,
It did not take the Philadelphia po-
lice authorities long to discover that
in the quiet, blue-eyed little man they
had born detector Of criminality,
and he was raised to the place Of spe-
%Cial officer.
When the late William S. Stokley
was made director Of public safety he
picked McKenty to be his. especial
detective, and he was entrusted with
all the most dangerous and exacting
work.
Mayor Stuart made him detective
sergeant.
During his term as detective in con-
saection with his partner, Capt. James
/. Donaghy, now chief of detectives in
Philadelphia, McKenty was instru-
mental in running out the Roy Wilson
White murder, the Danz-Hossey pois-
oners, and famous Lambert murder
in Camden, and the apprehension and
capture of a band of burglars in Bucks
county, Pa, to which work he and
his partner were assigned at the spe-s
cial request of Judge Yerkes.
In the latter case McKenty and his
partner at great risk captured four
men who were given long terms.
When Mayor Weaver was district
attorney he selected McKenty and
Donaghy to collect evidence in the
case Of four school directors accused
of macing school teachers of large
sums Of money to get them positions.
The accused men had political influ-
ence, and the detectives could have.

, last feeble effort of the Utes, comes to
Geronimo, now prisonerfof war, what
memories must it bring back to the
grim old Apache with the cruel fea.
lures, thin mouth, eyes like the blade
OF a sword, whose bloodthirsty career
was only ended when he was captured
by Gen. Miles.
Even as late as his time the In
dams gave the government serious
trouble, and when it placed Geronimo
| a prisoner at Fort Sill, it felt that a
great advance had been made for the
peace of the West.
In 1876 occurred the Sioux war, for
ever notable vas the occasion for the
| battle of the Little Big Horn, an Incl
dent familiar to every schoolboy.
| The Sioux had violated a treaty by
/ which they agreed to abandon certain
lands, and in the summer Of 1876 a
i force of regulars, under Generals Ter
sry and Crook, were sent into the
Black Hills to drive the redskins back
to the reservation.
Generals Custer and Reno were sent
forward to find the exact location OF
the Indians. The gallant Custer, who
had had a fine record in the War of
the Rebellion. declined to await rein
forcements, and attacked the Indians
on June 25.
The force of the enemy many times
exceeded his own, but the intrepid
hero rocked nothing of consequences.
The act was braye, but foolhardy,
for while the exact details of the bat
tie are not known, every man, includ-
ing Custer himself, was killed, the
massacre continuing even after the
whites were hopelessly defeated
The Indian leaders in that last great
redskin success were Sitting Bull and
Crazy Horse. @
Time has avenged the palefaces who
fell then, for the submission of the
Indian to the United States govern
ment is now complete. Since their de-
feat in the battle OF Wounded Knee,
they have never been able to muster a
dangerous force.
The Ute failure undoubtedly ends
the chapter.
