BEING CONSIDERED
Men Who it is Expected Will Fill
the Appointive
Offices
UNDER THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
Several of the Present Incumbents
Appear Slated to Hold
Their Jobs.

Mayor-elect William McConochie is
not saying great deal about his plans
for the near future, but from what
has leaked out in one way and anoth-
er it is gathered that he has pretty
nearly decided upon the personnel OF
his chiefs in the various appointive
offices it will be his privilege to fill
Immediately after he takes his seat.
For chief of police, of course, it
could be no other than Phil Miller.
That was Il foregone conclusion two
years ago, even before Phil ceased to
be chief the last time. The night cap
taincy is matter of some doubt, but
that office will either fall to Richard
Carnes or else the latter viii be the
plain clothes man that the merchants
have asked to be provided for the
business district. There will be a
general wedding out of the present
patrolmen, although it is believed
that those who were on the force
when McConochie went out of office
before ana who were kept under the
Knox administration will be allowed
to remain. Among those who are not
worrying much about their future
are Desk Sergeant Andrew Etzel, Off
GERS Charles Moody and Sid Pearson,
and Chief Mccarthy, though the lat
ter will, of course, be put on a regu-
lar beat.
Bancroft May Remain
For superintendent or waterworks
it appears that Plumb Bancroft, the
Knox appointee, has reasonable
prospect of holding the place. c. NJ.
WitherelI, who held the superintend-
ency during the last McConochie adj
ministration, has received considera-
ton and may still be the man, but
Mr.. Bancroft's relations with Mayor
Knox and the part he took in the
campaign are in his favor in addition
to the fact that even partisanship
cannot be blind to that he has filed
the position well during the two
years he has been in charge of the
water department.
For health commissioner the choice
lies between DR.. J. II. Hollowbush and
DIR. G. G. Craig, Jr., who held the of
flee when Mr.. McCOnochie was mayor
before.
Few New Firemen.
1t is not anticipated that there will
DC any changes, at least radical ones,
in the fire department and in all
probability Charles Hastings will re-
main as chief. Neither is it thought
there will be new plumbing inspec-
tor appointed, as Frank Yerbury has
not been obnoXiously active political
~ and has filed the office for the past
two years with satisfaction. How
ever, the Davenport Democrat hears
that c. \. Nutting, of that city, has
been promised the appointment, and
this may be so. 1t is an old saying
that one should go away from home
TO hear the news.
1t has been conceded all along that
Fred Appelquist was to be appointed
superintendent of streets and nothing
tending to confirm a contrary belief
has developed to date.

COMPANY A GETTING
READY FOR INSPECTION

Company 4, of this city. will prob
ably he inspected by a regular army
officer during the next few weeks, the
opera ton being the same as the 9th
er military organizations throughout
the country are undergoing and being
preliminary to the bringing of the
militia of the states under the con-
troll of the regular army authorities.
1T had been hoped that the new uni
forms that will be furnished the men
when the change is made would be
ready for distribution Immediately
afterward, but it appears that the
appropriation for the clothing and
accoutrements is not yet available
and will not be for some time. 1t is
expected that a weeks notice will be
given before the inspecting officer ar
rives. The men are putting in the
time very industriously drilling in or
der to make a favorable showing.
