Chiei of Police Freeman, of Evanston, has established a record which is thought to · be unique in police annals in his three ~· ears of service here. During the three complete football seasons since Freeman has been chief there have been no complaints of a pocket being picked or a serious accident in the Northwestern university stadium. In guarding against pickpockets the chief obtained the services of Morris Byrne and James O'Brian, the famous "B & 0" of the Chicago pickpocket squad, and stationed them at the station and later at the stadium gates where they stopped every known pickpocket and sent him back to Chicago before he had any · opportunity to p]ui.lder the football crowds. It was through efforts of Chief Freeman that this record ·was established. He said that he would endeavor to prevent the picking of a single pocket among basketball crowds. The other part of the record, no less remarkable, is the absence of any serious accident. This is due to efficiency and watchfulness of patrolmen assigned to the stadium and the ushers who cooperate with them.
