The duties of s police captain are sup posed to keep him occupied at his desk. Patrolmen and detectives are assigned the duty of looking for violations of the law. However, Captain Bailey con cluded that If lie wss to bo held respon sible he would Investigate. For the last two or three mornings he has left a sub ordinate on duty at the station and personally made a tour of the city, loolc ing for ssloons that kept open aftsr houra. He made a report to Chief Hunt yes terday that after the hour of 1 o'clock he hsd found the saloons mentioned open. In the meantime Deputy City At torney Fitsgorald, who hod taken um brage at some remsrks of the chief, supplied him with blank complaints. No SS' use was left the head of ths de partment, snd this morning he had to appear before Clerk OlsSn and swear to the complaints.
