Military Matters, a Hobby.


Military matters were somewhat a
hobby with Major Mitchell while still
in civil life, and during his mayoralty
he placed the police department on
military basis. He established a mill
tary training corps for policemen and
organized an efficient home defense
guard when war was declared with
Germany. He was credited with 'hav-
ing brought the police department to
high state of efficiency.
Born O descendant of a New York
family of Irish lineage and which had
figured prominently in the history of
the city, Mitchell took part in civic
activities while still in his twenties.
At the age of 27, then a lawyer, he
was appointed special counsel to the
city OF New York to investigate city
accounts and the manner in which he
undertook this work attracted the at
tention of Mayor Gaynor, who ap-
pointed him commissioner of accounts
He continued his investigation and the
revelations which resulted won public
credit for him and he was elected, at
thirty, president of the board of alder
men. In this position he took a lead
ing part in the subway investigation
in this city, which was a famous con-
troVersy in its time.
Upon the death of Mayor Gaynor,
before the end of his term, Mitchell be-
came acting mayor. but resigned to
become collector of the port of New
York.

having administered arfairs as one of
