Before giving the sketches of the members of the police force it will, perhaps, be as well to present the following brief statements regarding what may be called the administrative force of the department.

MAYOR RODENBECK

Adolph J. Rodenbeck was born in Rochester and has always lived here. His parents were German. His father died when Mr. Rodenbeck was nine years of age. He attended the German Real Schule and the public schools of the city. He was graduated from the Free Academy in 1881 and from the University of Rochester in 1885. He studied law in Rochester and in New York city, was admitted to practice in 1887 in the city of Brooklyn and has practised law in Rochester since 1888.

He was appointed second assistant city attorney in 1891, and in the following year first assistant. In 1894 he was chosen corporation counsel of the city and served in that capacity until 1898. When he retired from this office the press stated: "Mr. Rodenbeck has earned the thanks of the people. It seems to be the impression that no one has discharged the duties of the office with greater ability, and in addition to ability he has shown unusual devotion to official duty and has been popular with all who have had business relations with him."

Mr. Rodenbeck was elected to the Assembly in 1898 as a representative of the second Assembly district of the county of Monroe, by a majority of 1,639. In 1899 he was re-elected to the Assembly by the increased majority of 2,125. In 1900 he was again elected to the Assembly. This time he had no opponent on the Democratic ticket. His majority was 6,337. During this year Mr. Rodenbeck performed his crowning service for the public in connection with the revision of the laws of the state. As chairman of the joint committee of the Senate and Assembly he caused to be made and reported to the legislature a page-to-page examination of every law ever passed in this state, over fifty thousand in all. He suggested feasible plans for completely revising all these laws, including a revision of the practice code. This revision was distinctly in the interests of the people. If carried into effect it would avoid the immense expense of litigation growing out of the confused condition of our laws. His report was submitted to the legislature of 1901 and the plans therein submitted have been approved by the Bar association of the state and by the bench and bar generally. In 1901 the chair of pleading and practice at Cornell university was tentatively offered to Mr. Rodenbeck. This high honor he declined.

In the fall of 1901 Mr. Rodenbeck was nominated by the Republican party for the office of mayor and was elected. He took office January 1, 1902. As mayor he has been a faithful public servant. Born a man of the people, his sympathies are theirs. He has given the city an economical, honest and business-like administration. The affairs of the police department have received his special attention. He personally directed the revision of the police rules, the separation of the detectives from the uniformed men, the installation of the modern police records, the Bertillon system and the recent general police reorganisation. In his first annual address to the members of the department he urged all officers to "carry the message to Garcia," and the present esprit de corp of the department shows the result of Mayor Rodenbeck's administration.

Mr. Rodenbeck is a member of many organisations, such as the Genesee Falls lodge, F. & A. M., the Aurora lodge of Odd Fellows, the D. K. E. fraternity, the Maennerchor and German-American societies and the Rochester and State bar associations.

COMMISSIONER GILMAN

Commissioner of Public Safety George A. Gilman comes of old Yankee stock, his ancestors on the paternal side arriving in New England in 1638 and on the maternal side in 1656. Perhaps this fact explains his success iu business and as an administrative officer. George A. Gilman was born in Westboro, Massachusetts, September 16, 1847. Bereft of his father at ten years of age, Mr. Gilman has always made his own way. He was married at Boston, February 1, 1875, and moved in 1880 to Rochester, where he has since resided. For nearly twenty years after 1876 Mr. Gilman engaged in the railroad business. He was first in the employ of the Chicago & Northwestern railway. Later he came to Rochester as car accountant of the Blue line, to which the Canadian Southern line was added in 1886, at which time Mr. Gilman was promoted to the responsible position of general car accountant. In 1894 he was appointed general accountant of the Blue and Canadian Southern lines in charge of the office. Later, at the time of the general consolidation of all the Vanderbilt lines, Mr. Gilman served as general cashier of the combined lines, from which position and the railroad business he subsequently retired. In January, 1900, he was appointed chief clerk and deputy by Commissioner of Public Safety Cutler. When Commissioner James D. Casey succeeded Commissioner Cutler, he retained Mr. Gilman because of his efficient services for the department. When Mayor A. J. Rodenbeck took office, January 1, 1902, he appointed Mr. Gilman as commissioner of Public Safety, an act which met with general approval.

The administration of the affairs of the department under Mr. Gilman has been very satisfactory. He has increased the efficiency of the police and fire departments to a marked degree. New editions of the rules of both the police and fire departments have been published under his supervision, the police department has been entirely reorganised and re-distributed, and new apparatus has been added to the fire department. Through the health department Mr. Gilman has fought through successfully a small-pox epidemic under the most trying circumstances. No department of the city government has had greater responsibilities than that of Public Safety during 1902 and 1903, and Commissioner Gilman has met them all with such common sense and executive ability as to merit public praise.

PRIVATE SECRETARY FOREMAN

Edward R. Foreman, secretary to Mayor Rodenbeck, was born in Lima, N. Y., was graduated from Genesee Wesleyan seminary in 1888 and from the University of Rochester in 1892. During his college course he was assistant editor and had charge of the publication of the general catalogue of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity issued in New York city in 1890. He was admitted to the bar in 1894 and has since practised law in this city. He was employed in the publication of the Rochester city charter by City Attorney C. D. Kiehel in 1893, and later was appointed investigating clerk for the law department. He was promoted to the position of managing clerk the following year and was appointed assistant corporation counsel by Corporation Counsel A. J. Rodenbeck in 1896, in which position he served for two years. When assistant corporation counsel Mr. Foreman had charge of the revision and the publication, in 1897, of the penal ordinances of the city of Rochester, and also of the park ordinances. He had the management of the work at Rochester for the joint committee of the legislature on the revision of the laws during the years 1900 and 1901. January 1, 1902, he was appointed private secretary to Mayor A. J. Rodenbeck and has since served the city in that capacity. Mr. Foreman has taken special interest in the affairs of the police department and in January, 1903, revised and published the police rules under the authority of the mayor and the commissioner of Public Safety.

CHIEF CLERK SIMMONS

Charles Alonzo Simmons, chief clerk in the department of Public Safety, was born in Watkins, N. Y. He attended public schools in that place and in Elmira, where his parents removed when he was ten years of age. He graduated from grammar school number 2 in Elmira. Through a contribution which struck the fancy of the city editor of the Elmira Gazette he took up newspaper work when fifteen years of age, and continued it while a student in the Elmira free academy, from which institution he was graduated an honor student, winning first prize for an oration. He then went to Cornell, where he took a years course in law and general studies. In 1894 he came to Rochester and became a reporter on the Evening Times, and later on the Union & Advertiser, finally, he was made editor of the financial page of the Post Express.

In 1898 he volunteered for duty in the war with Spain and rose from corporal to sergeant in company H, third N. Y. V. I.; he was elected second lieutenant of his company upon his return to Rochester. He is an active worker in the Union League Republican club, and captain of its drill corps; he is captain of the Eighth separate company, national guard,. and captain of L. Bordman Smith command, number 53, Spanish War Veterans. He is prominent in several fraternal organisations. He was appointed chief clerk in the department of Public Safety by Commissioner George A. Gilman, and entered upon his duties as such January 1, 1902.

BOOKKEEPER HERTEL

John W. Hertel was born in Rochester September 22, 1850. After being educated in the public and private schools of the city he went into the harness business and having spent some time in that occupation he became employed by the municipal government, in the various departments of which he has been engaged since then. On the 1st of April, 1900, he was appointed bookkeeper in the department of Public Safety, and he occupies that position at the present time. He is a member of the First Presbyterian church, of the Genesee lodge of Odd Fellows and of Jefferson tent of the Knights of Maccabees. His residence is at 157 Bronson avenue.

The Police Department

The following notices comprise all the officers and members of the police force, as well as those others who are directly connected with the operation of the department:

CHIEF OF POLICE CLEARY

Joseph P. Cleary, chief of police of Rochester, was born March 11, 1844, in the city of Limerick, Ireland. Coming to this country when twelve years old, he made Rochester his home and has since resided here. Up to the outbreak of the Civil war Mr. Cleary was employed in the nursery business.

In the spring of 1861 he enlisted in Company E, Thirteenth New York infantry, commanded by Captain F. A. Schoeffel, and served two years, the term of enlistment, being mustered out as color sergeant at Rochester in May, 1863. During the service of this regiment, while assisting a wounded comrade at Gaines Mills, Mr. Cleary was captured and was imprisoned for some time at Libby prison and later at Belle Isle. He was exchanged on August 6th of the same year and joined his regiment at Harrisons Landing, Va, Twenty-four days later, at the second battle of Bull Run, Corporal Cleary was severely wounded and lay on the battlefield for five days, being finally paroled and sent under a flag of truce to Washington. After spending some time in the hospital be was exchanged on the 11th of December, 1862, and rejoined his regiment in time to participate in the battle of Fredericksburg. The term of his enlistment having expired he re-enlisted on June 29, 1863, in the Fourteenth heavy artillery, as sergeant major of the regiment. On the second day of October of the same year he was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant of his company and performed garrison duty at New York harbor until April, 1864, when his regiment received marching orders to proceed to Washington, where it was attached to the Ninth army corps, commanded by General Burnside, and joined the Army of the Potomac under Grant at Warrenton Junction, Va. Lieutenant Cleary was acting adjutant of the regiment at that time, and took part in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, Petersburg, North Anna river, Weldon railroad and Cold Harbor. On the battlefield of Cold Harbor he was promoted to be first lieutenant for gallantry in action, and in September, 1864, was promoted captain at the battle of Pegrams Farm, after which he was assigned to command six mortar batteries attached to the artillery brigade of the Ninth army corps in front of Petersburg. In March, 1864, he was again wounded on top of the head by the explosion of a shell. In the same month he was promoted to major. While on leave of absence twenty-four hours from his battery, visiting at headquarters at Fort Stedman, the enemy attacked and Major Cleary took command of Fort Stedman during the battle after the commanding officer had been captured. For his conduct in this battle he was brevetted major of United States volunteers by Congress, and a short time later was made full major of the regiment. Just before the close of the war he was brevetted lieutenant-colonel of New York state volunteers by Governor Fenton for gallant conduct during the war. He came home to Rochester in command of the first battalion, Fourteenth New York heavy artillery, and was mustered out as major of his regiment August 26, 1865.

Chief Cleary is a member of the military order of the Loyal Legion. He has served for three years as a member of the board of trustees of the New York State Soldiers and Sailors Home at Bath, N. Y. He has always taken a prominent part in the Grand Army of the Republic, and in 1892 was unanimously elected and served as department commander of the G. A. R. of New York state.

He was appointed patrolman in the Rochester police department December 1, 1866, when S. W. D. Moore was mayor and H. S. Hebard and Jacob Howe, sr., were police commissioners. November 12, 1877, he was made day roundsman at large and about a year later was appointed to detective duty. A short time after this he was made lieutenant and assistant to Captain P. H. Sullivan. On Captain Sullivans death in May, 1882, Major Cleary succeeded him as night captain, and a short time later was appointed day captain. In 1885 he was made acting chief of police and on the resignation of Chief McLean, October 3, 1885, he was appointed chief of police, which position he has held continuously up to the present time.

As chief guardian of the peace of the city of Rochester, Major Clearys face is familiar to all Monroe county residents. His services in war are only excelled by his services to this city. He is a man of sterling character and is held in high esteem by the community at large.

INSPECTOR ZIMMERMAN

Michael J. Zimmerman is a life-long resident of Rochester, having been born here July 19, 1858, of German parentage. His education was received in the parochial and public schools of this city. In 1878 he was here married. After passing a number of years successfully in business Mr. Zimmerman was appointed on the police department as a patrolman April 1, 1882. He served in this capacity so faithfully for six years that he was promoted to sergeant July 6, 1888. This first promotion was followed by another on February 2, 1891, when he was made lieutenant. He served the department as lieutenant with great credit to July 1, 1900, when he was made captain. June 4, 1902, Captain Zimmerman was transferred to precinct number it and was made acting inspector of police with the authority of chief of police in the absence or disability of the chief. He now occupies this responsible position.

Under the advice of Captain Zimmerman, and the administration of Chief of Police Cleary, the most modern police methods have been installed recently at police headquarters by Mayor Rodenbeck and Commissioner Gilman. Complete records of crimes committed, criminals apprehended, and the general work of the department are now kept by the card system. The cards are supplemented by accurate books of record, while the department is kept thoroughly informed by the daily police bulletin printed and distributed to each officer. The institution of the Bertillon system of measurements was also advised by Captain Zimmerman, as well as the recent revision of the police rules and the general reorganisation of the department.

Captain Zimmermans steady advancement has been based on duty well performed. He has always been distinguished for executive ability and fearless discharge of duty. He is a man of high personal integrity and commands universal respect.

DIRECTOR HAYDEN

Upon the detective force of any police department must rest, very largely, the duty of unraveling the obscure crimes that are enveloped in mystery at the outset and then of hunting down the criminal, often at great personal risk and labor. At the head of this bureau is John C. Hayden, whose name has been frequently mentioned in the preceding portion of this volume, principally in connection with murder cases, of which he has worked up at least five since he became connected with the department. His duties have also caused him to become quite a traveler, his journeys extending to the Pacific coast and to the West Indies, to bring back criminals or to testify in important cases. Director Hayden was born on Staten island, N. Y., on the 23d of February, 1848, and moved to this city when fourteen years old, after having been raised on a farm. Having been educated at public schools and at DeGraffs private academy in Rochester, he went into Glen & Halls manufactory in this city, where he learned the trade of machinist.

He was appointed to his present position on January 1, 1902. He is a member of the Rochester club and of the Union club, and his residence is at 76 Frost avenue.

CAPTAIN McDERMOTT

The drill-master of the police department is the officer whose name is at the head of this sketch, and a great deal of the proficiency of the members of the force is due to his careful instruction, teaching the men first in squads at the drill hall in police headquarters and afterward in battalion drill on the University campus. John E. McDermott was born in this city on June 24, 1843, and was educated at our public schools. In early life he was a tobacconist by occupation, but he was able to serve the public at the same time as a volunteer fireman, being attached to the old hand-engine company known as "Torrent 2" from 1857 to 1862, and being also a member of the crack military company known as the Union Grays. In the second year of the Civil war he enlisted as a private and fought his way up from the ranks, being made a lieutenant for conspicuous bravery and being, at the close of the war, offered a captaincy in the regular army, which he declined. Though receiving, at Gettysburg, a wound of which he still bears the scar, he remained in the service and was present at twenty-nine general engagements, from Fredericksburg to Appomattox, where Lee surrendered. After his return to civil life he organised, from the members of his old regiment, the Ryan Zouaves, one of the very best disciplined companies in the United States, and also, a few years later, the ORorke Post drill corps.

He was appointed on the police force on June 1, 1881 he was made a lieutenant April 2, 1886; on the 15th of February, 1893, he was promoted to a captaincy as the successor of the lamented McCormick, and was lately put in charge of precinct number 2.

CAPTAIN FURTHERER

One of the oldest and best officers on the force is Benedict C. Furtherer. His long term of service in the department, extending over nearly thirty-two years, would doubtless enable him to furnish many incidents worthy of publication, but his extreme modesty, amounting to reticence, renders it impossible to obtain enough mnaterial for an adequate sketch of his career. He was born in Rochester in 1846, and after being educated at one of our public schools he worked for some time at his trade as a carpenter and joiner. On the 3d of July, 1871, he was appointed on the police force as a patrolman; September 12, 1881, he was raised to the rank of lieutenant; in 1886 he was assigned to detective service and did duty for some time in that capacity; in 1897 he was promoted to a captaincy and is now in charge of precinct number 5.
