POLITICAL MIDDLE.
Open War Declared Between Mayor
and Police Commission.
EACH HAS IT'S OWN POLICE FORCE
The City Marshal Refuses to Resign His
ONCE Although His Successor Has
Been Appoint ted--Claim He Can Only
be Removed for Cause.

BIDDEFoRD, Me-. July latter the
adjournment of yesterdays meeting of the
Biddeford police commission, in which
open war was declared by Mayor Staples
against the appointment of Charles b.
Harmon as city marshal. Chairman f. II.
Banks waited on City Marshal Cote and
asked him to resign.
Marshal Cote said he had no intention
of resigning; that he had been elected by
the municipal officers for year, had given
bonds for that length of time, and that it
would take more authority than the police
commission possessed to remove him. =
The marshal and Chairman Banks had
quite lengthy dispute over the matter.
The marshal argued that, under the pro-
visions of the police bill! and the rules
adopted by the board, the city marshal
Cannot Be Removed without Cause,
and that until the expiration OF Cote's
term his successor cannot be appointed.
Commissioner Banks declared that the
commission would make an appointment,
and the courts would be appealed to 70
sustain its action.
After consulting counsel the two Repub-
lican members OF the commission served a
notice on the mayor announcing that
ueetinS WOulu Dc utlu hJ ~ d CLOCK To-Day,
at which time city marshal and police
force would be appointed
The mayor and his hackers declare they
are acting under the instruction OF emf
nent legal counsel, and that the present
marshal and police force shall continue to
hold Office. even IL the commission appoints
new ones.
The applicants for policemen's berths
underthe new commission are not so per-
sistent now that they foresee
Bittey Political Fight
ahead Of them and some doubt as to their
ability to get pay from the city for their
services
The Democrats claim that Mayor Sta
pies antagonism il based on his spite
against Mr.. Harmon, who was few years
ago Democratic United States marshal,
and that had the commission decided on
the appointment OF any other candidate
the mayor would have joined hands with
them.
But Harmon's friends deny this, and
claim that the mayor would have rebelled
against the appointment Of any other Re-
publican.
The opposition to Mr.. Harmon is not en-
tirely confined to the Democrats, as num-
Der Of Republicans met last night and
started petition, in which they declare
that the appointment of Harmon would
be injurious to the interests of the Repub-
lican party.
