CHIEF CAMPBELL TALKS.
He Declares There Is No Need for
the Militia.

Chief OF Police Campbell remained at his
desk at the -Four Courts until after mid
night. when all the cars on the transit
system ceased running. About midnight a
Republic reporter asked him what he
thought Of the situation. IL the days de-

bired forces of the police and the Sheriffs
posse can control the situation said he.
land / don't think l would recommend
that the State troops be called upon just
yet. The developments of to-day. l think,
show that we are able TO handle the situa-
ton. There were a great many shot and
several killed to-day. 1 deeply depiore the
necessity for such action, but il only
shows that the force is equal to almost any
occasion.
"A meeting of the Police Board will be
held at the Four Courts this morning to
consider the advisability of calling on the
Governor for the militia. but / shall not
recommend 1t until matters grow worse.
There vas naturally more trouble to-
day than on other days. In the first place
there were more idle persons in the city.

to a picnic in East st. Louis, where they
drank a lot OF beer and got drunk, a good
many Of them. 1 don't doubt they were
rather hilarious and did some things they
would not do under ordinary circumstances.
I saw a bunch of them going over Twelfth
street at noon to-day. They were jeerinS
car then and 1 warned them they would
get into trouble before night. They jeered
