L0UISVILLE'S POLICE
CAPTAIN AT FAULT
Let will Love Go to Mortifica-
ton OF Detective Will
Baker.

Fully exonerated from all rumored
charges on the streets since he re-
turned without VIII Love from Louis
VILE, Detective VIII Baker stands to-
day. A letter received this morning
from Chief of Police ]. H. Hager, of
the Louisville force, explains explic-
lilly the conduct of Detective Baker,
and of his own men, the blame being
placed with members of the Louis
willie force altogether.
Detective viii Baker was sent to
Louisville to arrest VIII Love, recog-
nized as a witness in the Huge Boyle
liquor case in police court. He
caught Love, but the latter got away

Vile police captain. Detective Baker

Their attempts to secure his man. but
Love had escaped to Jeffersonville.
In the letter received this morn
ing Chief Hager states that Captain
Meyers, of the night force, permitted
Love to go free through misunder-
standing of his authority. Meyers
is one of the new men installed. the
result of the recent shakeup.
Hager instructed his men to ar
rest Love as soon as he returned to
Kentucky, and turn him over to
either Detective Baker or Officer
lTrompeter. The latter secured him
but Love broke and ran, escaping.
Chief Hager regrets the occurrence
and lays it entirely to the ignorance
OF the new captain.

Outbreak ut Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-There will be
no strike OF the long distance tele-
phone men. This morning the Amer
lean Telegraph company signed an
agreement employing union operators
at an increase of 10 to 8 per cent
and recognition of the eight-hour
day.
Important Developments marked
the telegraphers' strike today. Most
interesting was the indication that
the railroad operators might be
forced to join the walkout.
This condition was brought about
by the announcement by General SUI
perintendent w. I. Capen, of the
Postal Telegraph company, who said
that his company had resumed tele-
graphic communication with all
points in Canada. At union head
quarters It was said that If this we're
true. it might percipitate the strike
