CHIEF PARIS MAY RETIRE.
a Report That "a Civilian viii Sue
ceed Him.

A ruuor Is current in the Fire Depart
ment and around the District Building
that Chief Engineer Paris is about to re-
sien his position and retire on a pension.
The act of Congress known as the Police
REORGANIZATION bin permits such action
on his part. and directs the Commission
ers to grant such officer pension not
to exceed S19o a month"
Chief Paris has been at the head of
the Fire Department for fifteen years,
and has been in service much longer
than that He has reached the age at
which an officer in the army or navy
would he retired Moreover, last tali
CHIEF Paris suffered from long attack
Of illness. and since his restoration to
health he has not been as vigorous as
formerly.
1t is stated that Chief Paris will take
the initiative I'm his retirement hlmseH'
and of his own volitiOn.
There is considerable speculation as to
who will be Chief Paris successor in
Office but it is thought by many that the
honor will fan either to one of the
subordinate officers Of the department, or
to a gentleman who has been studying
the Fire Department for some years, and
is said to know more Of its workings than
any man in the service.
one reason assigned for the appoint
ment of the gentleman referred 10 is that
the growth of The department has reached
a point where it would be better to make
the office of Chief Engineer a purely
executive one and to leave the manage
ment of the service at fires to the as
sistant chiefs. Those who hold 20 this
view are of the opinion that the Office
OF fire marshal should be the designa-
tion OF the official head of the depart
ment, and that the present fire marshal
should be his subordinate with another
title.
This. Of course. would require q spe-
cial act Of Congress but il is stated that
some such plan lies iu the minds of the
Commissioners, and that il is their in
teution TO appoint a civilian rather than
an expert fireman as the successor to
the Chief Engineer. Those who hold this
view also say that the ability and ex-
pcrience of the three assistant chief en-
gineerS is such that the department will
not suffer at all by making the present
Chief Engineers Office an executive one.
1t is stated that the appointment of
Frank Wagner as Third Assistant Chief
Engineer was done with Il view to the
general plan above outlined.
The man spoken Of in connection with
the position is In every way capable of
assuming its duties, and it is thought
that when his name is made public the

Local interest attaches to the appear

debut IN three leading roles with Mr..

Partisan Romance" DR.. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde" and Beau BrummeI." The
friends Of Miss Parker IN this city viii

tient and untiring efforts have so soon
brought her TO the goal she sought. Her
ability was first recognized by the late
Augustin Daily, with whom she was a
great favorite. A ceaseless worker, she
has cIung 70 her high ideals and bids fair
10 realize them through the medium Of
her industry and unusual talent. OF a
serious and artistic temperament, she has
always been too ambitious TO succeed in
the legitimate TO attempt some Of the
lighter roles which frequently bring
young actresses into fame without the
hard work and discipline necessary in
the heavier parts. Miss Parker has now
recovered from the severe illness by
which she was prostrated last fan.
