'>@ POLICE. HUNT GOES ON
With P. D. O'Brien, captain of the
detective bureau, fired out of office
temporarily and possibly permanent
ly, the rumor persists that more
higher-ups of the police dept will
have their official heads Topped off.
Capt O'Brien was so close to
Chief Healey in the inside politics
of the police department that it's
anybody's guess what will happen
next.
On the face of police records, burg
laries in Chicago have increased 35
per cent since Mayor Thompson ap-
pointed Charles Clarence Healey as
police chief with orders to "drive all
crooks from the CITY," Official rec
ords of the police show 1852 burg
laries the last five months, as against
1881 in 1914 and 1924 in 1913.
Burglary insurance rates, already
higher than any other large Amer
lean city when Healey went into Of
flee, promise to go higher.
Capt O'Brien was suspended last
night by Chief Healey on request of
the civil service commission. That
body is probing charges that O'Brien
was leader among those who raised
slush fund in the department for
the defense of Walter O'Brien, de-
tective sergeant who was convicted,
and John Halpin, Capt. O'Brien's
predecessor, now on trial charged
with graft and conspiracy.
Judge Barrett in circuit court yes
terday ordered the police to quit their
trickery in the secret holding of four
garment strikers, neither booked on
charges nor permitted to see their
lawyers or friends. Habeas corpus
writ was granted. The four were
then boxed on charges of murder on
complaint recorded as by the wife of
Michael GusZkowsh.

'fPatrolman No, 3,705 took hold
of one of the ministers by the coat
collar, bawled him out, and threat
ened to arrest him. When he found
out that he had hold of a minister
and that the minister knew his rights
as a citizen, he stopped his rough
talk.

hcemen shaking women and showing

Members of the ministers party
were: Revf Herbert L. Willet of the
divinity school of the University OF
Chicago; Rev. Edward S. Ames,
Hyde Park Christian church; Rev
W. G. Vim, Irwin ozark Christian
church; B. S. Jeuseff of the Russian

CANNOT FIX THE
RESALE PRICE
ON CORN FLAKES

Detroit, Mich. Sept. 2s--The Kellogg
Toasted Corn Flakes Co. OF Battle
Greek Is permanently enjoined from
fixing the resale price on its product,
by a consent decree announced yester-
day in United States district court
here in the governments anti trust
suit against the kellogg concern. The
decree takes effect after Oct Is, Of
this year, and is considered highly i'm
portant because 1t establishes prec-
edent against the fixing OF resale
prices on food products. -, s
The government brought suit against
the Kellogg company in December,
1912. alleging the defendants had no
legal authority to fix the resale price
Of their property. or to suggest or
warn jobbers that if they refused to
carry out the fixed price agreement
they would be cut of from further
supply Of toasted corn flakes.
The defendants contended they were
not violating the law inasmuch as
the notice to 1obbers concerning the
RESALE price was printed on a carton.
containing the product which had been
patented with the notice on. The pat
ent. they claimed. made it legal for
them to handle their product in that
way. . d.
