ONE DETECTIVE KILLED
And Three Others Wounded in Battle in
Chicago.

Chicago. July ls.-With one detective
dead and three wounded as result OF
revolver battle Thursday night in Chi
cago's vice district, officially reported
closed, police officials attempted yester-
day to untangle the accounts of the
fatal affray between members Of the de-
partment.
The dead detective, Stanley ]. Birnes,
was a member Of the regular plain-
clothes force John G. Stoop, Birnes
partner, was shot through the thigh. Jo-
seph Merrill and Fred Amart, detectives
of the morals squad, were wounded less
seriously james C. Carroll, who said
he was an investigator and railway fire
man, also was wounded.
In the investigation by Chief OF Police
Gleason two facts appeared to stand out,
that the killing and wounding of the
policemen were precipitated by gang OF
ievee characters, and that many of the
volley of shots fired came from the
weapons in the hands of gangsters. 1t
was thought that several of the crowd
of vice district characters were wounded
and had been hidden by their friends.
The ARRAY was possible because the
morals squad men, Merrill and Amert
and Carroll, who was not member OF
the force, did not recognize Birnes and
Stoop. Merrill and Amert had been po-
lieemen but a short time. They had
Just raided a disorderly place and sent
a wagonload of prisoners TO the station.
A gang of levee hangers-on followed and
hooted Merrill and Amert as they
walked away from the place.
'Look at the stool pigeons they
shouted. "Look out for the stool pig
cons"
Stones and bottles were thrown and
the detectives drew their revolvers.
Birnes and Stoop ran up to disperse the
mob.
Look out, they have gunsl" someone
cried. Then the shooting began. Merrill
declared that the first shot was fired by
a man in the crowd, who lodged behind
a women Another woman had just
been felled by a brick. Merrill said
that he emptied his revolver at the
man.
The clash Of police activities in the
vice district was disclosed in the shoot
ing. Merrill and Amert were members
of Morals Inspector w. c. Dannenberg's
squad, which he had unexpectedly sent
into the levee district 10 make raids.
At the same time Second Deputy Chief
of Police Funkhouser had a detail IN
the district for the same purpose, think
ing that Dannenherg was on the north
side Of the city. Birnes and Stoop were
attached to the detective bureau, which
al aaaf he nf-
tivities of the special details.
The situation was finally dominated
by the uniformed police who dispersed
the mob and held Merrill and Amert
