THE CHIEFTAINCY
 OF CITY'S POLICE Mcdonald and Austin Are AvoW-
 ed Candidates M'CROSSIN WILL NOT RUN Charles J. Martin Spoken Of-Fo:mer Chief and Present Chief Point Con fdently to Their Records
 Police Commissioners
M'CR0SSIN WILL NOT RUN

There are now two avowed candidates for the office of chief of police of Birming ham, and the coming campaign promises to be one of the warmest ever waged in this municipality. The two candidates are for mer Chief Thomas c. Mcdonald gnd the present Chief C. w. Austin. There is also one strong probability in the person of Charles J. Martin. The friends of MT. Mar tin say that within few weeks he will be induced to make the race.
 From this state of affairs it would seem that the fight promises to be three-cor- nered so to speak, but street rumors have decreed otherwise and the current talk is that it will be d straight fight between Austin and Mcdonald. Both have many friends.
 MT. Mcdonald said yesterday that he would make the race On his record, and that if elected he would enforce the law to the best of his ability. There will be three candidates for police commissioners. in the field who will favor the election of Mcdonald. There will also be three who will favor the election of Austin Either can didate will have to see that two of his friends out of the three are elected that ne may De LII case OHt COulHltS- sioner from each side is elected, and an outsider gets in, there will in all probability be a deadlock when the police commission meets, and the other candidates for chief may hold the balance of power.
 Chief Austin said yesterday afternoon that he stood squarely on his record and that if the people of Birmingham did not believe he had enforced the law to the best of his ability, he did not want the office. He said he had done what he deemed his duty, and that he confidently believed the good citizens of this city would stand by him.
 T have not been at any time candidate for chief of police, and do not intend to seek in any way that office,'' said Edward J. McCrossin last night. "Some of my friends many of the people in fact, have urged me to become 8 candidate, and 1 have received such urging In the past; but I do not desire the office, and am giving it no personal consideration. This much the Ase-Herald is authorized to say com ing direct from me"
 That settles all talk about MT, McCros- sin In this connection.

 Stand Again

Former Chief of Police T. c. Mcdonald has announced his candidacy for the office for another term. Mir Mcdonald when seen yesterday .said
 "Yes, I am a candidate for chief of po- lice, and will be in the fight to a finish. The men who will stand for police com missioners and who will vote for me will commend themselves to the public as fa- vorable to law, order and morality. I feel that I can point fearlessly to my record as chief of police, and believe that 1t com pares favorably with that of any man who has filled the office. If elected pledge myself to execute the laws"
