STEFFEN KEEPS UP
GOOD WORK
Alderman Walter P. Steffen, chair
man of tho police committee, started
his drivo on special dotalls nnd "soft
berths" filled by mon who nro car
ried on tho pay roll of tho pollco de
partment as crlmo dotectors.
Ilocommondntlons wero sent to
Chief of Pollco John J. Gurrlty by
tho aldormanlc pollco committee, re
questing that twenty-ono detective
sergeants bo sent back to tho dotec
tivo bureau to do detcctlvo work.
Two of tho mon havo been attached
to Corporation Hudson's olllco, six
nro on tho "bank dotnll," six havo
been on duty watching for pickpock
ets and shoplifters In tho Stnto street
stores, six dotectlvos and ono llou
tenant havo been on tho "morals
squad."
"Theso aro tho first of tho special
details to fall," said Aldeimnn Steffen.
"It was brought to my attention that
nut of tho 18C dotectlvos assigned to
tho detoctlvo bureau only forty-six
hnvo boon actually engaged In do
tectlve work. I am opposed to having
a man appear on tho books as working
in a certain jn-ecliict when as a mat
tor of fact ho is on duty olsowhoro.
If a man Is taken from Hydo Park
for threo months' duty on tho Mu
nicipal Plor, ho should not bo charged
up against Hydo Park. Thoro is too
much cnmnullago, preventing any ac
curate check on tho work being dono
by tho pollco."

finest.
Tho saloon fixtures In tho buffet
section aro tho finest and costliest In
Chicago.
It was foxmded by John Fchn, whoso
name Is a household word on tho
North Side. A reporter for tho
Hcrnld-F.xamlnotr asked Mr. Fchn
about tho whisky situation.
"Let them tnko away whisky, but It
would bo shameful to doprlvo a man
of his glass of beer after a bard day's
work."
This Is tho summary of what John
Fchn, Chicago's pioneer saloon
keeper, had to say about July 1. Fchn,
who recently celebrated bin 83rd
blrthduy, was the first to open n sn
loon In Chicago. In 1SG0 ho opened a
barroom across tho street from tho
present City Hall building.
Four years later bo moved to tho
southwest comer of Ohio nnd Claik
streets. Since tho saloon was estab
lished tbero In ISC I, Fchn has always
kept tho saloon front painted white.
Though Fchn gavo up nctlvo man
agoment to his son-ln-lnw, Thomas J.
Suuermnn. sovernl years ago, ho is to
be found thero most of tho tlmo.
"As a talker I think I'd make a hot
ter onloonkoopor," sttlil Fchn, "but
when you ask about July 1, then 1
havo only this to say: Let them tnko
away whisky. That stuff nover did
nny one any good. Hut wo must hnio
our beer and light wines."
Snuormnn told tho roportor that,
fhould tho country go bono dry, bo
would still conduct tho restnurnnt,
which, slnco Its opening has become
famous. Should beer and light wines
bo permitted, ho snld, tho Interior
will roinnlu tho snmo as when tho
saloon opened fifty-llvo years ago.
