Filed by Police Captain Reynolds
on Account of the Girl
Hugging Episode.
REMAINS ON DUTY.
Chief Campbell Says II Accused
Man Is Really Guilty, He
"Must Have Been Drink
ing a Little"

Captain Reynolds Of the Central Police
District filed a formal charge of conduct
un~becoming an officer with the secretary OF
the Police Board yesterday against Special
Officer T. Rosser Roemer. who is accused
of hugging three young women In a bunch
at Seventh and Locust streets Saturday
night.
Roemer WILL not appear before tho
BOARD of Police Commissioners until next
Tuesday afternoon. when It is expected that
there Will be n sitting. On account Of the
sickness OF Commissioner Atmore the board
has not met since July 20. Roemer will
continue his duties without interruption I'M
I'll his case comes to trial
Captain Reynolds. under whom Roemer
Is detailed. Is inclined to look 2 the
charges with leniency and will not ask that
he be suspended. Roemer Is an efncient
officer, he says. and this Is hts FIRST offense.
IL he has committed any infraction Of de-
corum. Therefore he thinks It Is not neces-
sary to suspend him until tne chafses oie
proved.
Tho fact that I have fled q written
charge with the board" said the Captain,
does not necessarily imply that Roemef ID
guilty. I did that because the officer Is &C
cused OF unbecoming conduct. and the
charge must be proved or disproved. 1
hope Captain Roemer can disprove the
charge, for he is a good officer.
Captain Roener is detailed to arrest the
women who walk the streets In the down
town districts. On Saturday night he ar
rested eleven women and three others es-
capped him. The way / understand the case

TUBE SYSTEM.
National Committee Will Decide
Its Feasibility.

The Executive Council Of the st. Louis
Manufacturers Association at a meeting
held yesterday took UP the question or
pneumatic tubes for the distribution of mail
throughout the city and heard a report
from Chairman J. W. Van Cleave. OF the
committee appointed to look into the ques-
ton.
Mr.. Van Cleave reported that q NATIONAL
committee, composed Of j. NJ. Haston OF
Brooklyn, ]. A. Montgomery OF Chicago and
E. W. Alexander of Philadelphia. has been
formed for the purpose of deciding the
question OF ACCESSIBILITY OF the plan as ap-
piled to st. Louis. These committeeman, ne
said, will be In the city In the near future
to look over the ground carefully.
Postmaster Baumhoff. who was present at
the meeting, was deeply interested In the
report and repeated his offer to do all that
he could to further the plan. 1t is pro,
posed to have a system OF underground
pneumatic tubes connecting the post office
with Union Station, East ST. Louis, Bremen
Station, Tower Grove Station and some
point In the vicinity Of Arsenal street. A
special committee representing all lines of
trade will wait on the national committee
men while in the city and urge the adop-
ton Of a report favorable to the city.
Several letters received by the associa-
ton asking cooperation In an endeavor to
secure lower water rates for manufacturing
plants were read, but the directors thought
1t unwise TO urge any reduction in view OF
the present status Of the city's finances.

the accident by which two policemen or
the Fourth District were shocked to death
Monday night and several others more or
less seriously injured.
Responsibility for the occurrence Is denied
by the Seckner people. who say that their
wire did not carry an excessive voltage. as
was declared by Supervisor Of City Lighting
O'Reilly. Members of the Board of Public
improvements assert that the accident was
entirely unavoidable.
Supervisor O'Reilly is as positive as ever
that the voltage of the electric light wire
was so great that no insulation would be

accident Is likely to appen at any time on
the Bell or Einloch telephone systems.
