KELLOGG is ELECTED.
Fire Commissioners Fill the
Office of Chief.
INQUIRY INTO CAUSE OF FIRE.
The Vacancy Created by the Charter
Amendments Is Filled - Urgent
Needs of the Department.

The board of fire commissioners met last
night, with Mayor Ronald in the chair
and Commissioners J. L. Kahaley, J.
Foster, t. z. Jones and J. c. Masel in at
tendance.
After some routine business had been
transacted, Commissioner Jones said, in
view of the vacancy in the office of chief,
occasioned by adoption of the charter
amendments, and of the excellent condi-
ton of the department, he moved that
Gardner Kellogg be appointed chief.
Commissioner Kahaley seconded the
motion. He said the department was
second to none in the country, and it was
due very much to the efforts of Chief
Kellogg.
The motion was carried unanimously.
Chief Kellogg thanked the board, and ex-
pressed his qualification that politics was
to be kept out of the department. He
said that he felt that his nomination was
due entirely to the efficiency of the fire
department, credit for which should be
given to ali the members.
Deputy City Clerk Raglan was directed
to notify the city council of the nomina-
ton. subject to the approval of that body.
The CHIEFS report of fires for May was
received and filed. He reuews his sug-
gestion that there should be an investiga-
ton of all fires as to which there was sus-
picion of incendiarism. He also COM
plains of the salt water hydrant at the foot
CT Main street, which is out OF service, and
calls attention to the condition of sky
lights in many buildings.
Commissioner Jones SAID the attention
Of the council had been called to the con-
dition of the salt water main, but the COM
munication had been ignored. The fire
commissioners seemed to bes a supertiuity
except that they were being turned into
bill collecting agency.
Commissioner Kahaley said the hose
used at the barrel factory ought to have
been condemned before; they ought to get
pipe that would stand 500 pounds pressure.
Much of the cotton hose which was in use
by the boat could be used at stations where
the pressure would never be so great.
After some discussion it was resolved
that the board meet informally today and
instruct the corporation counsel TO draft
an ordinance covering the needs of the
department. 1t was announced that a
committee of the council would inspect
the fireboat today. and the commissioners
were invited by DR.. Kloeber, president of
the house of delegates, to meet them. The
invitation was accepted.
Commissioner Jones called attention to
the condition of engine No. 4; it has been
in use for twenty years, and the screws
and bolts were all worn out, so that when
it reached fire it wobbied like a duck.
The chief estimated that the cost of re-
pairing would be 500 or $500. and he
thought it good economy to sell the old
engines and get new ones better fitted for
the needs of the city.
Communications from o. w. Lynch &
Co., the Globe meat market and from DIR.
Reich, complaining of non-payment of
bills by hremen were referred to COM
mittee.
The board adjourned until July 5.

Board of Health Proposes to Use Fire.
boat and Save Money.

At its regular monthly meeting last
evening the board of health petitioned the
city council to allow the fireboat to be
used as towboat in taking the garbage
scow out on certain days of each week,
dumping the garbage into the bay, and
returning the scow to its moorings. The
present system of engaging tugboats to do
the towing was declared very un.
reliable and unsatisfactory and one
of the reasons advanced for using the
fireboat for the purpose is that it would
save the city 5000 each month. The board
claims that the San Francisco fireboat
tows the garbage scow out when occasion
demands it and that this is a good prece-
dent to act upon.
The usual routine monthly bills were
allowed

THE BIG MKINLEY DAY.

Arrangement for the DetIilS of tho Dom
onstrntion started Lust Night.
The officers of the marching clubs
were called to meet at the county COM
mittee rooms last night TO perfect de.
tails pertaining to the big Mckinley day
demonstration, and a good number OF
the commissioned officers were present,
The first matter taken up was the Sc
lection OF q chief marshal, chief OF stat,
aides, etc, for the parade, and after dis
cussing the matter thoroughly the fol
lowing gentlemen were selected to fill
the several positions:
Chief Marshal, DIR. H. B. Baguley.
Chief Of Staff, Mr.. John X. List.
Commander First Division, Capt.
Vim. Travis.
Commander Second Division, Mr..
Richard Robertson.
Commander Third Division, Mr.. g.
D. Thompson.
Aides, Messrs. William Mccormick,
Clarence Irwin, Frank Woods, Howard
wilkinson, Charles Bachman, William
Schwertieger, James Mccain, Samuel
H~azlett, William Otto, William Nc
Mechen, Charles VanKeuren, Osborne
Gray, Thomas Lewis, William Turner,
John Wright, Charles Dowler and j. L.
Brady.
The staff is a brilliant one, and made
up OF good, competent gentlemen, who
have had lots of experience, and as it
lies largely with them to make the affair
asuccess, there need be no fear that it
will not be a grand one.
a better selection for chief marshal
couldnot have been made. DIR. Baguley
knows all the ins and outs Of such an
affair, and is the right man in exactly
the right place.
The division commanders ire re-
quested to appoint their staff as early
as possible, and send in their list to the
chief marshal at once.
A committee consisting OF DR.. Bagu-
ley and Mr.. Dave Dinger was appoint
ted to confer with a representative OF
the county committee and arrange the
route OF the parade. The fact that the
lower portion OF the city is badly torn
up be the laying OF the new rails along
the street car line will worry the COM
mittee considerably in arranging the
route down there. They will do the
best they can under the circumstances,
however, and give everybody n chance
TO sec the biggest parade of the year.
The route will be printed the latter part
OF this week.
