POLICE CHIEF
To BE NAMED
IMMEDIATELY
Captain Whitman May Be
Chosen to Fill the
Vacancy.
Commissioners Desire to AL
lay Feeling Of Unrest in
the Department.
Views Frankly Interchanged at an
Important Conference With
Mayor Phe1an Yesterday
Afternoon.

A regular session Of the Board of Po-
lice Commissioners will be held this even
ing. An executive officer of the depart
nent TO fill the vacancy caused by the
death Of Colonel Sullivan will be elected.
There was a conference of the Comnlis-
sioners and Mayor Phelan yesterday aft
ernoon. At the conference there was a
frank and vigorous interchange of opin-
ion.
1t is said that three Of the Commits
sioners maintain that the board is in
power to perform and not to shirk the
charter. They hold that the important
duty OF electing a Chief of Police now
devolves upon the board, and that failure
to exercise the prerogative conferred b.
the charter would be little short of neg
lect Of public duty. Tremendous pressure
has been brought to bear on the Com
missiOners to prevent them from taking
decisive action, or at least to persuade
filling the vacancy until the Mayor-elect
is fnducted into Office.
The Commissioners know that there Is
feeling Of unrest in the department and
are aDprehensiVe that 1t will not be al
layed until an executive officer is chosen,
hence there is q vigorous sentiment In
favor of prompt measures to preserve eff
cheney and harmony in the force.
1t is quite well known that Mayor-elect
Schmitz is in favor of the election of Jere
Dinan Schmitz and Dinan were boys to-
gether in Watsonville and entertain one
for the other the warmest sentiments of
friendship. Others than the Mayor-elecI
believe that Dinan would make a good
Chief Captain Dunlevy is said TO be the
choice Of men prominent in the Union
Labor party. Captain Whitman is held
in high favor by the conservative classes
OF the city. The election of Captain Witt
man will. no doubt, take place tonight.
Captain Esola is backed by certain influ-
ences but the chances Of his selection are
slender. 1t is highly probable that the
merits Of the several aspirants will be
considered at the session this evening,
and in the balloting after the discussion A
Chief viii be chosen.

High School Notes.

The High school dismissed last Friday
for two weeks vacation. The other

but as the High school held sessions
during institute week they get two

Frederick Warde, the actor, paid the
High school visit and gave them most
enjoyable talk upon "The Oratory of
Shakespeare. He was met at his hotel
by the Cadet corps and escorted to the
High school building, where he was
royalty welcomed.
The High school attended "The Noun

The Iron Chancellor" has disap-

much alive who is "a man of iron"
in an almost literal sense of the
term. This came out few days
ago when a young German porter

was a man of iron, since sports
man had discharged at least 90 grains
of shot into his back He would have
nothing to do with surgeons, where
fore his brother had removed about
half of the load" by the simple ex-
pedient of cutting the shots out with
knife The story was presently
brought before the authorities, and
the porter was medically examined,
with the result that his story proved
absolutely true. His back and arms
were "larded" with lead balls, which
he carried about without any dis
comfort whatever. The reason for
his reluctance to approach surgeon
seems to have been that the sports
man who had thus marked him was
a gamekeeper, and il was while he
was on poachng expedition that i'll

When the smoke OF the battle had
cleared away it was learned that Rob-

was only a flesh wound, and he is able
to be up today. Aston was shot in

The local body polite is just now
somewhat agitated over a proposition
to redistrict the city. The most siren
uous objection to the measure appears
to come from the First and Fifth
Wards, which are inhabited almost ex-
clusively by the laboring closes. Pro-
moters of tire bill, which will be intro
duced in the Legislature, claim that the
new division will obviate the use of so
much money in these wards during
campaigns, while residents in the wards
indicated who have always taken great
pride in their precinct organization,
claim that it is an attack upon their
political integrity and a reflection upon
their characters, to say nothing of the
depriving of them of their privileges
in being represented on the Board of
Aldermen by one of their class and
other considerations. The question
promises to become an important factor
in the coming municipal campaign.
