TRAFFIC.
Congestion of traffic in the loop district has been given our
most serious attention. I believe that the control of pedestrians
at street corners is a step in the right direction. The plan
to regulate traffic in alleys should be adopted, and, I think, would
materially assist in relieving congested traffic. Provisions should
be made to take care of automobiles in the loop district during
t.he day.
MOUNTED SQUADRON.
On January 1, 1912, the Mounted Squadron was composed
of 77 men, including officers, and 59 horses; the territory covered
was the business district from Kinzie to 16th streets and Canal
street to Michigan avenue. Today the roster consists of 158 men
and 136 horses, and the territory covered during the year was
extended along the principal thoroughfares such as Milwaukee
avenue, Clark street, North avenue, Blue Island avenue, Harrison
and Halsted fltreets. In addition to this extension of the mounted
Rervice, mounted officers have been detailed at seven of the outlying
precincts to perform regular patrol duty as well as to regulate
traffic. This branch of the service has been favorably commented
upon by citizens and I believe that it should be increased
at least 50 per cent.
MOTORCYCLE SQUADRON.
Notwithstanding the fact that the members of the Motorcycle
Squadron were detailed on the newspaper strike for several
months during the past year, they made 3,190 arrests. Fines in
these cases amounting to $27,270 were imposed, and $23,755 worth
of stolen property was recovt:red. As soon as the finances of the
city will permit, I believe that at least two motorcycles should
be provided for each station for emergency and patrol work.
MOTOR BOAT.
Motor Boat No.2, launched last summer, has more than
paid for itself if we can reckon the value of lives saved. Eighteen

TEI:.EPHONE AND PATROL Box SYSTEM.
Owing to the adoption of the alternating current for street
illumination by both the city and Sanitary District the servi'ce on
patrol box circuits has been greatly impaired by induction. Burt
Thompson, Chief Operator of this department, 'has designed a
circuit to overcome this difficulty. There is urgent need that the
entire telephone and patrol box system of the department be
changed. This would involve an expense of anywhere from
$100,000 to $300,000, a.ccording to the number of relocations of
stations.
DOG POUND.
An automobile dog wagon was installed at the dog pound and
the results obtained have been more than satisfactory. On account
of the tremendous distances which have to be covered by
dog wagons the horses are usually played out before they arrive
at the location where the service is needed. It is necessary that
two more automobile dog wagons be established if the public is
to be protected from unmuzzled dogs.
CUSTODIAN.
On May 1st, I established a new system for caring for property
coming into the hands of any member of the department.
As soon as the property is brought into a police station it is the
duty· of the desk sergeant to make out an inventory in triplicate;
one copy is sent to the Custodian immediately, one is kept with
the property and the third remains in the inventory book. By
this system the Custodian is ad vised daily of the receipt of property
at all police stations throughout the city and the officer receiving
the property is charged with it until it is delivered to the
Custodian or otherwise properly disposed of. This system has
increased the efficiency of this Bureau at least 100 per cent.
AMBULANCE SERVICE.
Emergency hospitals have been established at the 2d, 27th
and 38th Prllcincts and have been of great value in saving runs

than a detriment. There is nothing that will instill fear into the
heart of a criminal more than speedy punishment for infractions
of the Jaw. No other city in the United States is more open to
the depredations of criminals than Chicago. Its area is large,
and it has been made the dumping ground for paroled convicts
not only from Illinois penal institutions, but also those of surrounding
states. Chicago, being the greatest railroad center in the
United States, pays the penalty in a way, because thieves traveling
north, east, south or west find Chicago a convenient place to
stop, and they do not become good citizens as soon as they arrive
here.
Chicago needs a new vagrancy law, drastic laws governing
the carrying of concealed weapons, at least 1,500 additional patrolmen,
new police stations and a better street lighting system.
No city can hope to be well governed unless its streets and alleys
are well lighted. Crime flourishes in dark places.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN MOWEENY,

Patrolman Henry L. Bussian, TWElnty-first Precinct, on June
17, 1907, was summoned to a hoqlile at 98 West 13th street, where
employes of the Gas Company were making some repairs. Escap-
ing gas had filled the basement where Frank Steichler and Martin
McLaughlin were working, and when Officer Bussian arrived
Steichler had just been rescued unconscious and was thought to
be dead. McLaughlin was still in the basement and his fellow
workmen said there was no hope of rescuing him alive. Officer
Bussian proceeded to the rear, and placing some wet cloths over
his mouth and nose, crawled on his hand and knees to where he
had been told McLaughlin could be found. Finding the sup-

His reply was several shots. Both pursuers then returned the

for life, where he died of his wound.
CARTER H. fuRRISON MEDAL-l9l0.
Patrolman Joseph Devaney, Twenty-seventh Precinct, on
November 22, 1910, attempted to arrest two men at Randolph
and Peoria streets. One of the men drew a gun and opened fire
on the officer, one bullet striking him in the left cheek and one
in the neck. Although severely and painfully wounded, Devaney
regained his feet and gave chase for four blocks, firing as
he went, finally falling exhausted from loss of blood.

CARTER H. HARRISON MEDAL-1911.
Patrolman George Newhaus, Fifth Precinct, July 2, 1911,
3 :15 o'clock a. m., while patroling his post, observed, three suspicious
looking men near Thirty-ninth street and Rhodes avenue,
and followed them. Securing the assistance of the owner of an
automobile, he was driven to Thirty-eighth street and Indiana
avenue, where he got out of the machine and walked up in front
of the three men and asked to know their bnsiness on the street
at that hour. One of the men, Steve Kelliher, on parole from
the penitentiary for his last job of shooting Policeman Miller,
drew a gun and fired at Newhaus, who returned the fire, neither
of which shots took effect. The three men then ran, followed by
Newhans exchanging shots, when one of them, James Hines, was
captnred in a yard. Tnrning Hines over to some citizens, Officer
Newhans contilllled in pursuit of the others, overtaking them a
block and a half away, where they were captured with the assistance
of several other officers who had been attracted by the
shooting. The third man proved to be William Weber. They
are three of the most desperate criminals in the country, and in
their possession was found the proceeds of several burglaries.
They were tried. convicted and sentenced to from one to twenty
years each in the penitentiary.

82 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE
REPORT 01' ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT 01' POLICE.
December 31, 1912.
John McWeeny, Esq., General Superi'lltendent of Police:
Sir :-1 beg to submit the following annual report, covering
the inspections of uniformed men of the Police Department held
during the year 1912.
The total number of inspections held during the year was
three, being the spring and fall dress coat inspections and the
overcoat inspection. The regular summer blouse inspection was
not held, owing to the fact that so many of the uniformed men
were detailed on the newspaper and other strikes during the
summer.
The system of inspection now in use has resulted in a marked
improvement in the general appearance of uniformed officers and
men. A comparison with the inspection records of previous years
shows fewer condemnations for clothing each year.
The absentees. as shown at the various inspections, are men
who were unable to be present at inspection, for different reasons.
Those marked "Excused," are men who have been detailed in
plain clothes for the past three years or over or who have been
detailed on special duty at various places. The drivers at the
several stations· were also excused from the regular spring and
fall inspections, as they are not required to wear dress coats.
The attached table shows the final order of merit of uniform
inspection for the year 1912.
Respectfully submitted,

GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 129
Additional telephone lineR were built connecting with the
department system at the following offices:
Captain's office-17th precinct.
Captain's office-Mounted Squadron.
Captain's office-44th precinct.
Lockup Keeper's office-21st precinct.
Lieutenant's oftice-44th precinct.
Squad Room office-Detective Bureau.
Custodian's office-City Hall.
In my report of last year I called attention to the condition
of our signal and telephone circuits, they being, in most cases,
useless for telephone purposes, on aCCOllnt of induction from high
potential power and light circuits.
Formerly, police circuits were designed mainly for signal
purposes, and as such, were of the closed series type, a form
('onsidered best, as the wire was under constant supervision, but
on account of the unbalanct;>d condition of this construction were
not adapted for perfect telephoning.
To obviate the difficulty now experienced in telephone transmission,
I have designed a circuit for both telephone and signal
purposes, which has proven entirely satisfactory after seven
months' actual service in the 26th precinct, where 25 patrol boxes
are operated on two circuits. Signal bells or lights on the patrol
box, for attracting the attention of officers, can be readily attached,
without detracting from the efficiency of the circuits for
telephone use, and the cost of rebililding many of the eircuits
and equipping the sta:tion for this improvement will not be large
and I expect to extend it to a number of stations in the near
future.
A report of the services rendered by the patrol wagons,
ambulances and operators, in detail is attached.
Respectfully submitted,
B. E. THOMPSON,
Chief Operator.
