his intrepid conquerors of the antarc-
tic, arrived in New York harbor as
dawn broke the east.
Later In the morning they were &C.
corded one Of the greatest reception

hero. 1t was exceeded, possibly, only
by that accorded Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh on his return from Paris.
Awaiting the Byrd ship city of New
York at quarantine was the Eleanor
Boiling, the other vessel of the an
tarctic expedition. which had arrived
last night. A host of craft gathered
to escort the two barks Of the explor-
Ing party on a gala procession up the
bay.
Airplanes banked and shuttled
overhead, private and commercial wa
tercraft thanked the Byrd ships in
irregular rows, and from the lower tin
OF Manhattan the official welcoming
squadron Of the City Of New York,
including on this occasion the NUM-
cipal boats Macon, Riverside and
Manhattan, started down the bay
with bands blaring and flags waving
to greet the explorer and his party
In the name of the city from which
they departed almost a year and q
half ago for the antarctic.
Rear Admiral Byrd was aboard the
municipal tug Macon, escorted by two
other city tugs. a private yacht, three
city patrol boats and a host Of gaily
decorated smaller craft.
Following them up the harbor were
the ice-scarred veterans of~the Bay
OF Whales, the barque City Of New
York and the supply ship Eleanor
Boiling.
Admiral Byrd broadcast his greet
ings to the city from the recently in
stalled radio telephone aboard t.1e
Macon. He said:
Its good to get back again. It's
good to have this reception. It's good
to have Grover Whalen greet me here
q third time. This Is q good chance
to express my appreciation for the
send-of New York gave me-"
Three Really Interested
Awaiting the admiral at city hall
were three who really had a personal
interest In the proceedings. They
were Richard e. Byrd Jr.. and the ad-
miral's two little daughters Evelyn
and Katherine. They were fairly
dancing with excitement.

new POLICE Chief
ATTEMPTING TOR|D
CHICAGO Of GANGS
Also Seeks to Purge Police De-
partment; Says One Of
ficer in Five Is Crooked

Chicago, June 19.-ReJohn H. Al
cock. the iron man. who has been
made acting commissioner of police,
today swung a two-edged sword that
aimed at gangsters without the law
and dishonest officers within.
The new commissioner had this in
junction from Mayor Thompson:
your first Job is to capture every
gangster In Chicago. Your second is
to get evidence that will send every
one Of them either to the penitentiary
or to the electric chair. You have q
free hand. You will not be inter-
Tered with"
Alcock. then named Lieutenant
John w. Norton to be chief Of de-
tectives and appointed Captain John
Ryan to be assistant chief of detec-
tives succeeding Lieutenant John
Egan. Norton has had charge of q
supervisory squad at the detective bu-
reau while Ryan has been serving as
q relief captain.
The new detective chief has been
In the department 80 years and is 81
years old. His reputation for track
ing criminals earned him the sobri-
quet Of Nemesis" Norton.
Alcock himself announced his tnten-
ton Of purging the polio department
Of crooked officers. The Herald and
Examiner today quoted him as saying
to certain friends that out Of
every five men in the police depart
ment is or has been on the payroll
Of racketeers. The ratio, he was
quoted as saying, prevailed in every
rank, from patrolman to captain.
The murder Of Alfred (Jake)
Lingle, Tribune reporter. will have a
prominent part in the investigation
Of gangster -politico alliances, Alcock
said, for authorities believe this STAY
ing may provide the key both to gang
domination and to police scandal.
The commissioner, following his
conference with Mayor Thompson,
met with members Of the civil service
commission. which is in charge OF
trials Of police officers against whom
charges are made. He intimated
U14CA AAA6AA0 w A4A0AAy 0OCAA tA404O 6A4N
he wanted assurance that he would
get full cooperation and that political
influence would not be permitted to
protect any accused officer.
In Alcock's opinion, 500 crooks
cause virtually all the criminality in
Chicago.
Anthony Red) Kissane, well
known gangster who, when arrested
for carrying concealed weapons. was
reported as demanding freedom on
the ground that he was working for |
Lingle," was convicted last night and
faces q maximum sentence Of q year
in jail. In an interview outside the
courtroom with q Tribune reporter,
Kissane denied ever mentioning
name or of ever working"
for the newspaperman.

known physicians and scientists have
tried to solve the poisoning. They
were convinced 1t resulted from bac-
terial organism but were unable to
determine the source.
Commissioner Kegel began a check
today OF food the children had eaten
and to learn II they had played in
any mud puddles or been swimming
in contaminated water.
The infection Is believed to have
originated In the nose and throat and
then spreading through the body, de-
stroying the red corpulscles In the
blood.
Only the McKittrick's infant child
escaped the poisoning.
