the position Of chief Of police or Of

For the position Of police captain a
number OF officers are also mentioned,
among them Marshal Grow, should he
fail to land the job Of chief, Market
Master Joe Woods and Lieutenant
Frank Harlan. For lieutenant there
will also be plenty of applicants and
il Lieutenant Harlan, the most expe-
rienced man on the force, does not get

of the lieutensntcy again. This 10 all
mere speculation, however, rs the po-
lice commissioners themselves do not
seem to be quite decided on what is
going to happen.
One member Of the board at least, ID
is understood, is not oblivious to the
conditions which have prevailed in Pa
ducah OF late, and says that there must
be change or a shakeup. He says
the tin horn gamblers, Whatever this
may mean, must go. He says they
have been allowed to stand around for
months Haunting their idleness in the
face of the public, and that he is GO

They must betake themselves to some
honest calling, be tried for vagrancy
or for being common gam blers, or else

something is going to drop, for it looks
bad for the city.
But of course he is only one of four
commissioners and the other three

dioted later on, but in the meantime
there will continue TO be much specu-
lation - TO the outcome.
