tion into Office of Mayor-elect James G.
Bailey. City Treasurer-elect G. G. Bo-
land and City Controller-elcct Edmund
Robinson. 1t is safe to say that each
of these officials has already made up
his mind as to the personnel of the ap-
pointments which he will make. 1t is
difficult. however. for the public to OBJ
tain this information as all of the in
coming officials maintain a strict Sc
crecy in the presence of newspaper re-
porters.
Mr. Bailey will make the most sweep
ing changes in his department of the
city government. 1t has already been
announced that he has selected Editor
Richard j. Beamish, of the Free Press,
to be his private secretary. In addi-
ton to this Information the public may
as well know that the next chief-of- po-
lice will be Frank Robling. jr. Mr..
Bailey Is not quite ready to announce
this but one of his closest friends said
to a Tribune reporter yesterday after
noon that "he could bank on it," For
captain of police Mr.. Bailey's choice will
LAY between John Fitzsimmons, of the
Sunday News, and Patrolman John
NOlT, WITH tHe tllanCeS at tne present
time in favor of Mr.. Fitzsimmons ap-
parently.
CULLEN FOOD INSPECTOR.
For the office of food inspector there
are over a dozen different applicants
but all indications point to the selec-
tion of Thomas n. Cullen. of the Ninth
ward. Mr.. Cullen is brother-in- law
Of Editor II. j. Lynett. of the Times
and Mr. Bailey, by his appointment
will pay debt which he owes to the
editor of the Times for the services
which that journal rendered him during
the campaign. Patrolman Dominic
Boland, another brotherinlaw of Ed
itor Lynett, will be retained on the
force.
In selecting a chief for the fire depart
ment Mr.. Bailey will pay an ante
election debt by the appointment of eX-
Select Councilman o. p. Miller, of the
|, Second ward. This Is about as certain
as 1t can be except that the announce
ment be made over Mr.. Bailey's sig
nature Common Councilman =. ].
Hickey of the Nineteenth ward, is an
active applicant for this position but
many of his friends yesterday admitted
the hoDelessneSS of his candidacy and
freely admitted that it looked like Mil
Ter.

urged by Select Councilmen Wade Finn

Henry Hatton as clerk of the common
council Finley Ross son Is also to be
appointed patrolman.
