CAPTAIN OF POLICE
JUST WHO WILL SUCCEED BEkDY
NOT YET DETERMINED.
Mayor magoffln Announces that his
Mind Is Not Yet Fully Made Up
and He May Differ the Al
pojntme nj Another Week

Who will be appointed night captain
OF the police force tonight?
This question is being discussed on
every corner today and speculation is
somewhat rife.
Mayor Magoffin was seen by Herald
reporter this morning and he said that
he had not decided whether the APP
pointment would be made tonight or
not Many of the friends of the diff
ferent candidates have been to see him
but he has given them all the same
answer.
II think | will let the matter rest
another week" he said. for / have
been SO busy with other things that
have not had time to give the matter
much attention. Deniston, Winkler
and Ten Eyck are all popular candi
dates and really have little choice be-
tween them. I don't want to disap-
point anyone and think l will let the
matter rest for another week"
There are some who oppose Ten
Eyck because he is not now a member
of the force. 1t is acknowledged he
is a good officer and would probably
be the best man for the place, but they
believe in promotion and think some
man on the force should have the posi-
ton. Others still think he is the best
man for the Office and should have il
because of his qualifications
If the mayor does not end the race
by making an appointment tonight the
race is likely to become interesting be-
fore another week
Ii is said that the recent fight in the
primaries will have nothing to do with
the selection OF night captain. AS is
well known. Jim Magofiin was one of
Ten Eyck's most ardent supporters
for the nomination for Office of sher-
iff.

CITIZENS SHOW GRIT
THEY ARE DETERMINED TO HAVE
AN ELECTRIC LINE.
1--WE Will" Idea Has Taken Deep
Root In Fl paso and When Her
Citizens Want a Thing They Are
Likely To Get It.-City Council
VIII Be Asked Tonight For An
other Franchise.

Hope springs eternal in the human
breast.
Citizens of FL Paso have not relin-
uuished all idea of securing electric
street cars. but to the contrary have
uttered n vow to leave no stone unturn-
ed until perfect system of electric
street cars is in operation here.
The Chicago company gave up the
project and closely following its ac-
ton came the announcement that the
old company had abandoned its much
talked of project This does not dis
courage the citizens. however, and to-
night when the city council meets a
petition asking for another franchise
will be presented
Looking over the country, said a
citizen who is interested this morn
ing, you can find no city the size of Ell
Paso that has such a system of street
cars as we have here. Now ! do not
know whether IL would pay or not.
That is not my business, but / do know
there are many companies in the coun-
try which would be glad to have a sys-
tenn here and I am going to do all
can to help them out. Ell Paso wants
electric street cars and does not care
who owns them"
This sentiment is expressed by many
and the idea is general that il will not
take long to get a company to take
hold OF it and build also the lines need
ed.
Captain Moses Dillon said this morn
ing that he was in correspondence with
several Ohio people who wanted to put
in lines here and anly wanted a fair
charter. They do not expect IL to pay
just now" said Mr.. Dillon. but they
expect to see Ell Paso a handsome city
within few years and then they
would get their money back. The old
company never intended to build. but
that is it's business and not that of the
public. Let il do as il pleases with
its own property. but by all means let
the city council grant franchise to
any new company that wants it and
continue to grant franchises until some
company builds the line. The old
company has had every chance and
now if it wants to hold on the present
system let it do SO. but it will suffer
the consequences.
Another idea is advanced while the
new franchise matter is pending. A
prominent local capitalist said today
that he was willing to be one of the
