While the innocent pranks of childhood played their part in the celebration, they wýere overshadowed by virtual mob violence and property destruction far beyond the limits of lawful observ- ance. Superintendent of Police Henry Brautigam, with a depleted force of regular officers, but witb a number of 44specials"y sworni in for the occasion, spent two hectic nights in an en- deavor to protect, so far as possible, the citizens and their property. Ap- proxiniately 75 boys were taken to the police station, and held for vary- ing periods. SnialI boys were not held longer than niecessary to make a record of names and addresses, and girls were iot detained. A touch of conle(y was given the affair when a group of boys escaped from the base- ment, none having been consigned to celi.s. Want Chief "*Fired" Inii ts Saturday edition a Chicago moring paper carried a story to the effect that 78 parents of seized boys were dcmianding the resignation of Chief Brautigam for the manner in which hie had treated the boys. The implication given was tliat the Vil- lage board was yielding to the de- mands, and that a successor to Chief Brautigapi was being sought.

As fast as these ap- peals could be answered squads were sent to the seat of the trouble. Heavy Pruopmty IPamare Chief Brautigarn also stated tbat this ye ar the vandalism was being com- niitted by gangs of 40 to 50 boys and young men, many of them from vil- lages to the nortb and south.
