The mass of records on file in the police headquarters and in the office of the clerk of the municipal and criminal court demonstrate conclusively that he has made one of the most remarkable records of any police officer in the United States if not in the world. Mr. Wooldridge has seen twenty years of experience and training in active police work. Ten years of this time he was located in what is commonly known as the Levee district, a territory where criminals congregate and where crimes of all degrees are committed. BORN IN KENTUCKY. Mr. Wooldridge is therefore of Southern extraction. And in spite of the "big stick" which this terror of the grafters has carried for twenty years, he still "speaks softly," the gentle accent of the old South. But behind that soft speech there is a determined soul. The smooth-running accents of the South are in this case the velvet which hides the glove of iron. The following are some of the deeds of valor, work and achievements he has accomplished: AN UNPARALLELED RECORD. 20,000 arrests made by Detective Wooldridge. He keeps a record of each arrest, time, place and disposition of the case. 14,000 arrests made for violation State and city misdemeanors. 6,000 arrests made on criminal charges. 10,500 of these prisoners paid fines. 2,400 of these prisoners were sent to jail or the house of correction. 200 of these were convicted and sent to the penitentiary. 1,000 get-rich-quick concerns were raided and broken up. 60 wagon loads of literature seized and destroyed. A conservative estimate of the sum contributed annually by this highly civilized nation to "safe investment" and "get-rich-quick" concerns is $150,000,000. 300 poker, crap and gambling games raided and closed; $1,000,000 lost. 200 wine rooms closed up. These wine rooms were the downfall and ruination of hundreds of innocent girls. 185 wildcat insurance companies raided and closed. 2,500,000 bogus securities and 10 patrol wagon loads of books, papers and literature seized. These companies paid no losses, and there were, it is estimated, 1,000,000 persons who had taken out fire insurance policies in these wildcat companies. They had sustained fire losses and were not indemnified. The conservative estimated loss by these wildcat insurance companies is $10,000,000. $200,000 of lost and stolen property was recovered and returned to the owners by Detective Wooldridge. 129 slot machines seized and broken up; valued at $10,000. 130 policy shops raided and closed: $100,000 would be a conservative estimate of the amount lost by the players. 125 matrimonial agencies raided and broken up. 4,500,000 matrimonial letters seized and destroyed. 1,500,000 matrimonial agencies' stock letters seized and destroyed.
