urged him to reconsider his determination,
and reinstate Mr. Paulhamus. Several
well-known attorneys have circulated petit
tions in his behalf. and others have written
letters 10 the sheriff. II is understood that
one OF the A. Z. y. councils passed resO-
buttons last night requesting the sheriff
TO declare an armistice, and consider the
question Of withdrawing his demand for
Mr. Paulhamus' resignation. The sheriff
promptly anticipated these measures this
morning and informed his chief deputy
that his tenure Of office would expire with

They are Fred T. Taylor. state secretary
OF the organization; II. A. Badecker and

step for a long time. and my action Is taken
after mature deliberation. Mr.. PaulhamuS
leaves the office and Mr.. Perry takes his
place That IS all there is In It,"
When Sheriff Parker made up his mind.
II is understood. ne saw Prosecuting Attor-
new r w. Conner ana notified him Of his
determine ton, as Mr. Coiner had been in
strunental in getting Mr.. Paulhamus ap-
yl0tnted. Mr. Conner declined TO offer any
advice in the premises. The sheriff posi-
lively asserts that the removal of Mr.. Paul

and that no pressure whatever has been
brought ID bear On him BY MS associate Of

sponsible for TIE conduct Of his Office, and
that he would bear the consequences or his
