The announcement that Governor
WarfieId had appointed William Pinkney
Whyte TO succeed Arthur Pue German
as Senator from Maryland. came quite
unexpectedly to Washington
The selection of Governor Whyte puts
an end to the speculation. and con-
firms the opinion of those who have
pordicted that Governor Warileld would
act promptly.
The field in the Senate viii not be new
to Governor Whyte, who served several
terms in the Senate in earlier years
The appointment of Ex-Governor
whyte is only for eighteen months, or
until the next Legislature makes a
choice. 1t is not expected he viii be a
candidate to succeed himself in that
position.
One of the motives which may have
animated Governor Warfield in naming
him is the fact that he believes the ap-
poIntment OF Ex-Governor Whyte to the
unexpired term will leave the field open
for a fair fight when the Legislature
meets, giving no man an advantage
over another.
The appointment Of Mr.. Whyte will
recall TO hundreds of Democrats

POLICE SUSPENSE
OVER PROMOTIONS
NOT YET BROKEN
Sylvester Says He viii
Not Announce List For
Week Longer.

Announcement of the promotions in
the Police Department viii not be made
for about a week. said Major Sylvester
today when asked at what time the list
OF names would be given out
Major Sylvester stated that he had
made up his mind and determined who
would be advanced along the line, but
1t lay IN the hands Of the Commissioners
TO change all Of his plans, and for that
reason he would not announce his recon-
mendations until after they had been
passed upon by his superiors. He added
that at noon today he had received no
official information 70 the effect that the
reorganization bill had been signed by
the President
After a careful examination Of the
records Of each and every man who has
shown ability TO I'll a position Of higher
rank. have made the selections" said
Major Sylvester. They are. OF course,
subject TO change at the hands of the
Commissioners. who can, II they are SO
inclined. disregard all OF the recommen-
datiGnS"
Major Sylvester knows the Police De
partHlent and the men in Il, and II IS
safe to say in view OF the fact that noua
him in the past have been diSregarded
that the slate he presents next week will
be approved Major Sylvester will ex-
plain 70 the Commissioners the exact
reasons Cor the promotion OF each man
who is slated for advancement
Speculation IS rife among the poIice-
men regarding the promotions but no
one has the slightest clew as 10 the
identity of these who are now standing
under the plum tree SO for as the in
spectors and capt ms are concerned
there is little conjec .uring. but there are
a number of ergeantS-forty-one to be
exact-from which ten men are to be
selected for promotion, and Major Syl-
vester found ii no easy task TO pick out
the ten
The consensus Of opinion among he
wise ones IS that Major Sylvester will
advance to the rank OF lieptenant men
who are the type of Lieutenant Daniel
Sullivan, OF the Second precinct. Others
who must l1age been given serious con-
sideration ~ Major Sylvester in making
his selecti-.Is are: Sergeants Andersen
Of the Anacostia district: Duvall, OF the
second; Harley, of the First; Judge
and Williams, of the Third; Sprinkle. of
the Second: and Keefe, OF the Sevent,.
zach of these men is strongly fndors-
ed. not entirely by prominent political
men who know but little OF their worth
70 the department, but by residents and
business men who have come IN con-
tact with them daily.
