TAKEN FOR MOB
DETECTIVES SHOOT EACH OTHER
IN STREET BATTLE.
ed in Fight When They Meet
After a Levee Raid.

Chicago, Ill.-A gun fight be-
tween two parties Of plain clothes
police, said to be due to a misunder-
standing, resulted in the death of
Stanley Birns, a detective sergeant;
the serious w%ounding of Detective
Sergeant John Shoop, Joseph Morrel
and Fred Mart, detectives, and James
Carroll. The latter is not a police.
man.
A squad of detectives under Maj.
M. s. Funkhouser, known as the Vice
squad, had raided several resorts in
the old levee district and were follow
ed by a jeering mob who resented
their intrusion in the district. De-
tective sergeants from police head
quarters were walking west on Twen-
ty-second street, when they cncoun-
tered the mob. They did not recog-
nize the Funkhouser detectives,
Haiti" cried one of the Central
men. The Funkhouser men continued
to advance, and as the Central de-
tectives drew their weapons, believ-
ing they were hemmed in by two
mobs, the morals squad also drew
their revolvers and began shooting.
More than rs shots were fred. Four
detectives from the Central office
were lying on the sidewalk when the
firing ceased, and Carroll was in the
street shot through the body.
Ever since the enforcement of the
law against immortality was taken
from the regular police there has been
i'll feeling between them and the vice
squad.

Candidates Must Stick L Out.

Candidates for nomination before
the coming state primary, who have
any intention Of withdrawing their
names, would be wise to do so at
once. 1t is useless to apply to Secre-
tary of State Roach to obtain the
omission of a name from the ballot,
for the reason that he has certified
the form of the ballot and the names
OF the candidates to the county
clerks.
In a congressional district, for in
stance, in which there might be 10 or
IL counties, it would be necessary
for a candidate for the congressional
nomination, should he conclude he
has tsd sufficient of the game and
wants to quit, to communicate with
the county clerk of each county in
the district.

PICK, Coed Road. Day.

Picks Good Roads Day.
Gov. Major designated Tuesday and
Wednesday. Aug. IS and 10. as good
roads" days in Missouri, and this
week will issue a proclamation call
ing upon every a~ble-bodied citizen to
contribute two days labor on the
public highways or the equivalent in
cash.
Tuesday and Wednesday were BE-
lected SO that people throughout the
state might continue their road work
If they so desire, and give the re-
mainder of the week to the better
ment of highways.
This date was selected" Gov. Ma
jor explained, because the time Is
between seasons for the farmers.
They are through with their corn cul-
tivation and harvesting and thresling
and it is before the wheat seeding
period, giving them an opportunity to
do road work"
Missouri inaugurated the good
roads" days last year, when, on Aug.
20 and 81, it was estimated that about
$50, 900 men accomplished several mil
lion dollars worth of road improve
ment.
Last year, when the quarter Of a
million citizens worked the roads on
the days designated, there were few
of the counties that had road-huild-
ing machinery.
Today more than 60 per ceat of tbs
counties have in operation machinery
of the most up-to-date type and the
results in the way of srading and
ditched road are little short of mar
velous.
Many letters have come to Gov. Ma
jor in the last two months asking
what date would be named this year,
and every indication points to an in
creased number of road workers.
The program for the two days will
be embodied in the proclamation the
governor will issue this week.
