Identity of New st. Louis Police
and Election Commissioners
Known Only to Governor.
MUCH GUESSING BEING DONE.
Executive Refuses to Give ANY
Indication of His Intentions
Announcement of Sew
eral Appointments.

81 STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Jenerson City. No. Jan. Sit is a safe
guess that every rumor in circulation in
81 Louis regarding the identity of the new
81 Louis Police and Election Commission
efs and regarding the time when they will
be appointed is baseless. If any such rumnr
should eventually prove to be true it would
De simply because in the vast number of
con1ectuTes that have been ventured IL
would be likely that the true one would not
be omitted.
To Judge from the varied character Of the
rumors that come TO Jefferson City from ST.
Louis"on the trains. by mail and by wire,
ST. Louis is busy guessing. The guesses
cover the entire gamut Of the possibilities.
For instance. the assortment of rumors
to-day included one that the name OF the
Republican Election Commissioner would
be sent 10 the Senate to-day because Of the
vast pressure brought to bear on the Gov
ernor by the Republican factions In ST.
Louis. Another specified with great cir
cumstantiality that Colonel Wetmore would
be appointed temporary Police Commission
er to NIL the vacancy caused by the death
of Atmore. and that the rest OF the ap-
pointments would be deferred until after
the April elections. This after-the-April-
elections rumor has proved futile and per-
sistent. Another rumor had IL that Andy
Blong's name was to be sent to the Senate
to-day.
Governor Is Keeping Mum.
The wish as the father to the thought is
doubtless responsible for many OF these
rumors in their origin They can safely be
pronounced nothing but guesses. Governor
Dockery, it is believed, has not told anyone
whom re would appoint or when he would
make the appointment. His closest asso-
ciates entertain a grave doubt as to wheth-
er he himself has finally decided upon his
course. II he has decided on his course 1t
is certain he has taken into his confidence
no one who would betray IL.
Late this evening Governor Dockery was
asked the direct question as to whom he
would appoint in st. Louis and when he
would make the appointments His answer
was a dec c.araIion that he was not announe-
ing his deliberations from the housetopS
and that he would decline to answer such a
question IL it were propounded by the per-
son closest to him on earth.
Governor Dockery to-day announced the
following appointments:
Doctor u. /. Martin, physician of the peni-
tentiary for a tei m of six months.
NJ. X. Myer. Coal Oil Inspector, Ripley
