Tewis Coath, president _— CHIGAGO'S POLCE HEADIS DRGPPED Commissioner Hughes Has Given ~ His Resignation Chicago, July 26 (P)—Again the ax has fallen upon a member of Mayor Thompson's official family and today Chicago was wondering who the next commissioner of police would be. Michael “Go-Get 'Em” Hughes, referred to by the mayor as the *best crook catcher in the world,” last night admitted his resignation had been in the hands of the mayor for some weeks. At different times in the past, reports of Hughes’ resignation have been denied promptly by the mayor. il health was given as the reason for the resignation, but it was re-| ported that Corporation Counsel Ettelson had demanded it at the re- qQuest of the mayor. Hughes, who was recovering from an operation for the removal of his tonsils, at first doubted the sincerity of the demand, saying he had heard nothing but praise from Mayor Thompson. Later with a trace of emotion in his voice, he said: “All right, if the mayor wants my resig- nation, he can have it."” A letter of resignation drafted was handed to him and with a pen borrowed from a nurse, the commissioner signed his name. Deputy Commissioner William E. Russell will be appointed acting commissioner today, it was said. Several deputy commissioners were to be demoted to their former rank of captain, new deputies were to be appointed in their stead and a complete shake up of the police de- partment was expected, it was re- ported. Commissioner Hughes’ resignation to the mayor tollows: “It is with deepest regre am compel'ed to inform you that the condition of my health will not per- mit me to continue as commissioner of police of the city of Chicago. “The vigorous campaign to improve lotter of read as the general crime situation upon which you insist, and of which I heartily approve, brings me face to face with the problem of whether my health will permit me to under- take this program. After consultation with my phy- sician 1 am constrained to tender you my resignation as commissioner of police of the city of Chicago to take effect at once.” The rosigration of Hughes fol- lowed closely that of City Comptrol- ler Charles C. zmorris last week. They are but two of several changes in the mayor’s cabinet since his elec- tion for the third time in April, 1927, The ousting of Superintendent of Bchools William McAndrew, pledged by Thompson in his pre-clection campaign, followed a trial lasting more than six months. A few months of the school board, who took an ac- tive part in the McAndrew trial, was replaced by H. Wallace Caldwell.
