A CHICAGO POLICE BLuNDER

The case of 8. H. Hibben of Los Angeles
who fell into the hands of the Chicago DO
lice while suffering from temporary men
tai disorder, conciusively demonstrates the
insutficiency of tine police department
under the present management.
Mr.. Hiboen disappeared Wednesday
evening from hotel in this city where he
was stopping with his wife. Notice of his
disappearance was conveyed to police
headquarters. and at o'clock Thursday
morning message was sent from head
quarters to every station in the city giving
an accurate description of the missing
man and instructing the officers to keep a
sharp lookout for him, as it was believed
he was demented and might attempt sui
eide.
AT the time this message was received
and read to the officers assembled at the
Cottage Grove avenue station, Hibben was
there confined in a cell. He was arrested
at o'clock this morning by Officer Ring
ling. As the prisoners mind was affected
he could only give a confused account of
himself. He told the policeman, however,
lie wanted to kill himself. The officer be-
ing evidently unwilling to make a proper
investigation of the case, marched his pris-
oner to the station and locked him up on
the charge of disortlerly conduct. A few
hours later If this officer reported for duty
as he should have done he listened to a de-
scaiption of S. H. Hibben, but failed to
recognize the ssing man in his alleged
uisorderly prisoner,
Still later in the day the unfortunate Mr..
Hibhen was brought out for trial in the
presence of at least fifty detectives and
patrolmen who were supplied with an ac-
curate description of his personal appsar-
ance ond were anxiously looking for him.
Not one of the lot: however, recognized
Officer Ringling's prisoner as the missing
Hibbeu.
Ofcourse Mr.. Hibben was found guilty
of disorderly conduct and fined $40 and
costs by the astute justice who tried the
case, and, as he had no money, he was hus-
tied of to the bridewel to work out his
fine. When he arrived at the bridewell
Friday morning lie came in eoiitast with a
competent p'bic otfc ~.

WORKING FOR SILVER.
DENVER, Colo, April 2S.-At silver
mass meeting held here tonight l. N.
Stevens was the principal speaker Mr..
Stevens stated that the meeting was
not to be construed as the formation of
a silver party in Colorado and that the
organization would have nothing to do
with local or state politics. Its object
was to secure the signatures of at least
30, 900 Colorado citizens to a pledge that
they would support no presidential NOM
inee who was not for silver at l6 to l.
Their pledge is to be sent to the national
bimetallic headquarters in Washington.
The new organization will elect seventy
delegates to the national silver conVen-

were secured at the meeting tonight. A
letter from Senator Teller was read en-
couraging the silver men to continue
their efforts for restoration of the white
