POLICE RESPONSIBLE
Grand jury Say Much of Lalvicssness
WuS Due to Them.

ST. LOUIS, July THE grand jury for
June in it's final report just rendered,
fastens mucn of the responsibility for the
disturbances which marked the recent rail-
way strike on the police.
The report denounces the police law as
passed by the last Legislature and says
that it makes it possible for the president
of the Board to step in and assume full
authority over the chief of police
The jurors declare that the law should
make 1t compulsory for the mayor to be
a member of the Board and to attend the
meetings. Police officials and parrolmen
are criticised for failure to do their duty,
and the jury says that many of the acts
of lawlessness were committed with the
apparent assent of the chief of police
The sheriff's posse was complimented
for its efficient service.

The announcement that Tommy Feltz, the challenger of the wor1G for the bantam weight championship. is to do battle in this city is exciting more and more interest as the date set for the exhibition approaches. Toney Lewis, his antagonist. has already fought one decisive battle with the champion but declares he was mis- used and is anxious to show to the public that he can blot out the stigma of that decision. That he is in earnest Is evident from the fact that he has agreed to fight fof. a division of the purse "a per cent, to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser There is also a large side bet on the result FeltZ has participated in twenty-four bat ties since January and has won them all but two.
