Mass Convention This Afternoon Re-
suited in a Row.
The Robbins Men Captured the Coun.
ty Organization, and the White
Men Got Mad.
LARGE CROWD AT CONVENTION

The Democratic mass convention at
the county court house this afternoon
to name and instruct delegates to the
district appellate convention to be
held ut La Belle park here Tuesday
morning ct 10 O'Clock was short but
warm. Il was hardly ten minutes af-
ter the convention was called to order
until many Of the participants wanted
to fight. II seems that the Robbins
crowd stole march on the White fac
tion, and wanted to get things
through as soon as possible.
There was q large crowd present,
some Of them going as early ~
O'Clock. II had been generally con-
ceded by disinterested politicians that
the county would go for White, but
was known that the Robbins faction
was going to make good hight.
Some OF the Frankfort politicians
came down late this week for the
purpose Of boosting Robbins, how
ever, and after that II seems there was
quite change.
This afternoon when County Chair
man Emery called the convention to
order, two gentlemen were NOM
mated for chairman, Judge W. A.
Berry, by the Robbins men, and Jus
tice r. j. Barber by the White men.
Chairman Emery declared that
Judge Berry was elected chairman
although IL appeared that the White
men had 100 or more than the Rob
bins men. This at once caused roar
OF protest, but IL was no use.
Chairman Berry quickly put the
question ss to who the crowd wanted

Officer James Collins Appointed Chief
Of Police Last Night.
The New Fire and Police Board Made
Its First Appointment Last
Night.
CONFUSION SEEMS PROBABLE

II is now Chief Collins. The board
OF fire and police commissioners,
Messrs. r. R. Sutherland, Pete Rog-
ers, John Bonds and NJ. W. Clark met
last night and by the Authority invest
ed in them by the second class char
ter appointed Officer James Collins
chief of police, effective August 1.
Officer Joseph hammond, extra
policeman, was selected to fill the
vacancy on the day police force occa-
stoned by the resignation some time
ago of officer Charles Hart.
Marshal Collins will of necessity re-
sign his position as day policeman
to become chief, but the board has
net yet decided whether the city needs
another officer in his place or not. II
it does, the vacancy will be supplied
in due time.
Chief Collins will have absolute
control OF the day and night police
forces, and while the night force will
be under Captain Henry Bailey, a.
now, he will be under the direction Of
Chief Collins. By the change Mar
shall Grow will be relieved of any
authority over the police department..
The selection of Chief Collins, which
was the forecast in The Sun several
months ago, is good one, Is there 10
no one in the city more familiar with
the duties, or better able TO discharge
them, than the genial chief, who is
popular with everybody. He has been
in the police department as marshal,
captain or policeman for 90 years or
more, and is one of the best detectives
in the state. l-st
His salary will be SIS month, and
il necessary an ordinance will be pass
ed before August formally placing
him in charge of the department. but
there is at present some doubt as to
any necessity for IT,
Today there has been no little dis
cussion at the city hall regarding the
appointment. Marshal Grow was
much surprised, apparently, knowing
that his duties and compensation are
the same as those OF the police chief.
IL was intimated that he would allow
no one to deprive him Of any of his
fees, although his duties may be les
sened.
Mayor Yeiser, when asked about
how the city would arrange the mat
ter, stated that he didn't know any
thing about it, and had nothing to do
with it. He pointed out in the char
ter. however, where the fire and
police board "shall appoint" a police
chief, ETC., justifying the appoint
ment by this clause, which apparently
requires the appointment.
Chief elect Collins stated to re-
porter that he was going to do the
right thing, and didn't intend to de-
prive Marshal Grow of anything. "He
shall have charge of the police court
and get all the fees" he declared. "I
shall not accept q nickle of them. I
shall try to treat him right, and think
we can get along all right. II it had
cost Marshal Grow his job. wouldn't
accept the place at all. He will gss
Just as much as now"
Chief Collins intimated that all he
desired to do was to have charge of
the police and direct them in their
work, for which ne will be paid q
salary, allowing Marshal Grow to COL
lect his fees and serve papess, as now.
