ber of Applicants.

the position Of State detective to which
he was appointed by Governor Hum.
Governor Hum will likely make an
other appointment within the next few
days. illere We're quite number OF
applicants for the position and the gov
ernor will find no difficulty in making an
other appointment.
Among others were ex-Oiiicer j. Harry
Massey, Samuel Allen, Jr. and Harry Il.
Turner.
The action of the Board of Police Com
lnissioners created some what of Il sur
prise as it was generally thought that

tion of State detective, and that one of
the sergeants would be promoted to the
position Of captain, which would cause
II vacancy among the sergeants.
