FATAL BATTLE IS
FOUGHT BY RIVAL
POLICE SQUADS
One Detective Dead, Three
Wounded in Chicago Vice
Raid Fight.

| CHICAGO. July 17,-With one de.
tective dead and three wounded. as
result of a revolver battle last night
in Chicagos vice district, officially re-
ported closed. police officials attempt
ed today to untangle the accounts OF
the fatal ARRAY between members of
the department.
The dead detective, Stanley J.
Birnes. was a member of the regular
plainclothes force John C. Sloop.
Birnes's partner. was shot through
the thigh Joseph Merrill and Fred
Amart, detectives of the morals
squad. were wounded less seriously.
James c. Carroll, who said he was an
Investigator and railway fireman. also
was wounded.
Failed TO Recognize Detectives.
In the Investigation by Chief of Po-
lice Gleason two facts appeared to
stand out; that the killing and
wounding of the policemen were pre-
cipitated by a gang of levee charae-
ters, and that many Of the volley o.
shots fired came from weapons in the
hands of the gangsters. II was
thought that several of the crowd Of
vice district characters were wounded
and had been hidden by their friends.
The affray was possible. because
the morals squad men, Merrill and
Amart and Carroll, who was not a
member of the force, did not rec
ognize Birnes and Sloop. Merrill
and Amart had been policemen but
a short time. They had just raided
a disorderly resort and sent wag-
onload of prisoners to the station.
A gang of levee hangers-on followed
and hooted Merrill and Amart as
they walked away from the place.
Look at the stool pigeons" thev
shouted Look out for the stool
pigeons"
stones and bottles were thrown and
the detective drew their revolvers.
Birnes and Sloop ran UP to dispersc
the mob.
Clash OF Police Disclosed.
Look out. They have guns!" some
one cried. Then the shooting began.
Merrill declared that the first shot
was fred by a man in the crowd,
who lodged behind woman. An
other woman had just fallen, he said,
from having been hit by a brick.
Merrill said that he emptied his re-
volver at the man.
Clash of police activities in the
vice district was disclosed in the
shooting. Merrill and Amart were
members of Morals Inspector w. Z.
DannenberR's SQUAD which he had
unexpectedly sent into the levee dis
trict to make raids. At the same
time Second Deputy Chief OF Pohee
M. l.. C. Funkhouser had detail In
the district for the same purpose,
thinking that Dannenberg was on
the north side of the city Birnes
and Sloop were attached to the de-
tective bureau. which is said to re-
gard with jealousy the activities of
the special details.
The situation was finally dominated
by the uniformed police. who dis
persed the mob and held Merrill and
Amart as witnesses.

Yeggmen, believed by the police tt
be members of the same gang whict

Market streets about two weeks ago
last night chiseled off the lock or
the safe in the store OF the Atlantic
and Pacific Tea Company, 730 Broad
street, and obtained $500 The thieves
made their way into the place through
the scuttle on the roof of the four
story building of which the tea store
occupies the ground floor. They reach.
ed the roof through the four-story
building adjoining
Although the safe which was robbed
stands directly beneath a gas lighi
which burns all night and can easily
be seen from the street. the yeggs
worked undisturbed. After cutting
off the dial. they thrust back the
plungers and swung the door of the
safe open. Then they removed Its
contents to the second story of the
building, where they examined at
their leisure, every bit of paper they
found in the safe
The floor of the room where the
men went through the contents of the
strong box, today was found to be
Uttered with cigarette butts and
matches, showing the police that the
thieves did their work without hurry
and in a systematic way. Envelopes
and documents found in the safe were
not thrown away after they were
examined, but were carefully de-
room.
Edward Schwartz. superintendent
OF the bureau of Identification in po-
lice headquarters, shortly after the
robbery was discovered began search

nngerprints of the robbers. He found
some, and these he will pho tograph

and found that $500 in cash, which he

but a few days ago Milly Gibson,
manager of the Garden Athletic club,
decided to postpone the bout because
the original day selected was a holi-
day. and bitter experiences have taught
boxing promoters in this city that a
holiday Is a poor day to select for a
bout in Manhattan. The old conditions
regarding weight are still in effect.
Ever since the change in the date of
the bout an idea has pre-
vailed in Chicago that the bout was
declared Off. Gibson has tried TO ex-
plain by saying: .aa
1.-THE bout Is not off. but merely post
poned to a more suitable date"
Thursday night Gibson again heard
that many fans considered the bout
was off. He said:
Il intend to Jump to Chicago and
straighten out this affair. That the
bout Is still on you may judge by the
fact that the Garden Athletic club has
selected March 8. as the night on which
it will take place in Madison Square
garden. .f...'
Il will leave for Chicago on a late
train Saturday night. While in Chi
cago I will get in touch with Mike
Gibbons and his manager. Eddy
Reddy.'
Packey Mcfarland did not come to
New York as expected. Packey'S man
ager said he had received the following
telegram nearly a week ago from Billy
Gibson:
For reasons which will be explained
in letter, bout postponed until first
week in March,"
According to the manager no letter
was received. Manager Reddy also
seems to be at SKIES and sevens re-
garding the bout, for he wired from
st. Paul asking by the bout was de-
clared off.
