Unfortunately for St. Louis, it has one or
two newspapers that have for years used their

upon the St. Louis department for political
effect.
The bad conduct Of one policeman is made

partment- Charges are made against the in
tegrity and personnel OF the department. but
are 50 wurded that no direct charge Is made
against any particular officer.
Charging the department with being in pol

Mile T~rbojevich, brother-in-law of Mich
olas Marovich, who. witt Mrs. Marov:ch,
was found almost dead from the fumes of
escaping gas in their room in the rear OF
the saloon at No. 21O South Broadway,
yesterday morning, was arrested at $3.50 p.
m. when he returned home. He says he
was in no way responsible for the uncon-
scious condition of his sister and brother
in-law.
Marovich and his wife were reported last
night to be improving. Marovich recov-
cred consciousness yesterday afternoon,
but his wife was still unconscious last
evening.
AS the trio speak almost unintelligble
English, it is difficult for the police to %
anything in the case. Their language is
a Slovak dialect, which is said to be
spoken only in the south of Austria.
Marovich was i~nterrogated last evening
at the hospital, but little could be learned
from his remarks. He spoke several times
of a man he called John" saying that
he did not know his last name. He said
h had in some way been responsible for
the occurrence, though it could not be
gathered from his remarks whether or
not he thought the mans part in 1t was
the couple.

who slept in the room next to them, and
who is held by the police. cannot make

what door he had gone out by. One door
OF his room leads TO the room where the
couple We're found. another opens into
Trldeau street, and a third opens into the
hallway behind the saloon.
T~rbojevich denied that he used a bunch
of keys which the police found inside the
front door of the saloon. He did roy Gp-
pear TO understand questions nut to him
by a Polish woman who was acting as in
terpreter.

and and, her dau shj Mrs: John
about $50 O'clock in the morning, il was
noted that Irbojevich was not in his

who was at that time conducting a sa-
loon in East st. Louis.
Joseph Haas, who delivers beer to the
saloon, says that he tried to get the oc-
cupants of the place to let him in at about
8 a. m. and that a response came from
the rooms, but that no effort was made
to let him in. He drove away, and on re-
turning later found the couple nearly suf-
focated.
The police hope to clear the mystery up
to-day If Marcvich and his wife recover
sufficiently and a good Interpreter is
found.
