CHICAGO STARTS.
SMASHING DRIVE
AGAINST CRIME
Public Clamor Stirs Police

Unifcd Press

BIZ URitcd Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Keyed to its
highest pitch OF indignation, public
opinion clamored today for a purg-
ing of Chicago, a general house
cleaning of the gangster element re-
sponsible for the murder CT seven
mel on Valentines day.
The result has been the greatest
drive on crime in Chicago history,
started with a bitter denunciation
Of the police by John A. Swanson,
states attorney.
Calling his police captains before
him, Swanson delivered a singing
Indictment Of their records, warned
that "it is easier to send a police
man to jail than it is to send a
gangster there" He laid the entire
blame for the shooting at the door
OF the police department and the
sheriff's Office.
Immediate activity throughout
gangland resulted. Patrols we're.
sent out to clamp down the lid on
all drinking places, gambling houses
and iisorderly houses. Scores OF
men we're taken to police head
quarters for questioning.
Police Link Denied
Photographs Of three Detroit
gangsters were identified Friday
night as those Of three men who
occupied a room in a house across
the street from the garage where
the men we're murdered.
Mrs. Michael Doody, who owns the
rooming house. made. the Identified
ton. Police believed the men might
have been spies for the killers.
A group of five men, leaders in
Chicago business and social life,
stood beside the stiffened bodies of
the seven men and solemnly we're
sworn in as a coroner'5 jury to in
vestigate their death.
The federal government aided in
the drive to clean up Chicago but
was a more or less passive assistant.
If aliens are found. the federal gov
eminent will see that they are de
ported.
Suggestions that the two mon
seen in uniform after the shooting
actually we're members of the po-
lice force and had taken part in the
murders because their cut from the
beer profits had not been given out,
were not credited by police.
Jury Probe Demanded
Swanson left police captains a
broad hint that unless their dis
tricts are cleaned out a grand jury
probe will result.
Never before had such an ulti-
matum been handed out by a states
attorney.
The cleanup drive began within
an hour.
The Chicago Association of Com
merce, representing business inter-
ests and the public in general. de-
manded a special grand jury inves-
tigation. In almost identical Ian
guage the Illinois Association for
Criminal Justice made the same de-
mand.
Swanson's order emphasized that
all saloons must be closed, all houses
of ill-repuate shut down, all gang
ster hangouts shut down-in short
that the lid be clamped on effective
ly all over the city.
Orders Lid Kept Down
He told the police every COM
handing officer in every district,
every highway policeman and the
