sion 10 any appointments In the de-
partment OF police. After the meeting
had oeen dissolved, however. the alder
men were called together for a confer
ence along this line of responsibility.
The meeting, however, was void of any
results lnasmuch as the mayor, wish
ing to place Charles Harrington in the
Office OF city marshal could not get the
confirmation Of the board, the members
being opposed to electing Republican

was unwilling to back down and so
were the board OF aldermen. AS a re-
suit OF this deadlock it is said by re-
sponslble parties that Marshal Adams
Is likely to be held in office by the
Democrats another year before this
alternative will be accepted. Marshal

continue to wear it until the next reg

cision OF the mayor and aldermen, if
possible, will be made to agree.
