HON. JOHN H. ALCOCK, NEW
DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT
OF POLICE, THE BRAVE AND
INCOMPROMISING FOE OF
MIDNIGHT BANDITS, RED
HANDED MURDERERS AND
AUTOMOBILE THIEVES

John H. Alcock is another instance
of the prudence shown in the drive
on crooks and criminals, also facing
forward in the right direction for the
reorganization and regeneration Of the
police department. He will positively
acquit himself with credit and high
honors. He is known all over the city
as a fearless, conscientious and pains
taking officer, and who is ever found
pursuing in the line of duty. He is
commonly known as Iron Jack" as
he uses iron tactics in dealing with
outlaws and all offenders of established
order. During the world war he was
Chicago's acting chief Of police. And
his merciless onslaught Of the BALI
wicks or criminals and denizens of the
underworld spread terror in the rank
of these social undesirables. His fame
as a great police specimen rest chiefly
upon his accomplishment while super
intending the Woodlawn district.
While. in charge there he brought
about the solution of more than II
murders. When the powers that be
were in quandry as to what to do
concerning w. F. Childs, the first lieu
tenant Of color on the police depart
ment, fearless Iron" John Alcock
came to the front in his behalf and
thereby did him a service and con-
ferred honor on the colored people Of
this city. Doubtless he will justify
and live up to the expectations and
responsibilities which Chief Hughes
and Mayor Thompson have so conf
dentially rested upon his shoulders.

HONORABLE IRA mcdowell,
DEPUTY SUPT. OF POLICE
WHO CLEANED UP THE
FLOP HOUSE DISTRICT OF

Ira Mcdowell, deputy superintendent
of police, is one Of the most energetic
and wide awake captains in the de-
partment. He was assigned to the
Maxwell street district on account Of
the difficulties that confronted the sit
uation there, but he proved himself
equal to that arduous task. And in a
short period he cleaned up the moon
sinner, safe blower and pay roll rob-
Der thereby showing the official
metal he is made. of and justifying to

sion there. He will give his full meas

ingenuity, Chief of Detectives William

Hon. William O'Connor, Chcagos
new chief of detective bureau known
all over the city as Get En- Quick"
O'Connor, will interject new life into
that branch at the police department,
and give the thieves and criminals
hot time during his reign as head OF
that department This valiant police
officer received an honorable award
for the capture of Teddy Webb, the
first offender to gain notoriety as an
auto bandit. The ms and outs of the
detective bureau are nothing new to
this veteran in the line of service, as
he has acted in the stead of Chief
Hughes when he headed the bureau
and was on the sick leave. He knows
how to pick his men for the different
kind of detective craft to be pursued.
And when he makes his assignment
and selection you may place a bet
that the work will suit the man and
the man will be suited for the work
Team work and cooperation and mag

and outstanding qualities of the man
who boasts he makes the Chicago de-
tective bureau an institution of its
kind second to none in America.

CITY

In the appointment of Hon Michael
J. Hughes, as superintendent of police,
well NAV Chicago boast of being the
possessor of a chief who never soldiers
on the lob but IS ever alert and awake
waging relentless war on crime and
criminals. For he is ever up and do
ing. He has assiduously and ener-
getically worked his way up from the
first step of the ladder of police pro-
motion to the topmost round and now
stands exalted on pinnacle OF well de-
served and hard earned victory. Fear
less Mike, as he is known throughout
the circles Of the department and the
city at large, is famous as man
hunter, a thief catcher and go-getter
of all varieties of contemners OF the
law. He is recognized from one end
of the country to the other as one Of
the most clever and successful detec-
tives that ever took the oath of Office.
He is fair and just in dealing with
his men and it may be irrefutably
stated that he will treat all Of his Off
GERS according to the merits OF their
work irrespective of race or color.
This veteran detective genius has
served on the Chicago police depart
ment for 80 years and during that long
career he has achieved many notable
captures and solved many seemingly
crimes, and has behttingly
won the sobriquet Of Fearless Mike
Recently he was appointed Chief Of
the Cook County highway police. He
is a devoted husband, loving father
and a twice loving grandfather.
His record as chief of the detective
bureau under Chief Of Police Chas
Fitzmorris during the last administra-
ton Of Mayor Thompson stands out as
one Of the browning features Of his
dashing and spectacular career. The
is to be congratulated and
complimented on the sagacity he has
shown in the selection of such COM
