and Then Wipe it Out,
SECOND ONE CHANGES ALL BUT ONE PLACE

tain Robert Jones 10 BE chief Of
Fire Department-MRyor
Appoints Police.

Republican cOunclmen-elect and other
party leaders held a caucus Tuesday at
which the council appointments were de-
cided upon and the policy OF the republican
majority in the city council practically
defined
Later in the day a second caucus OF the
councilmen was held and the result of the
first one overturned. The slate as finally
agreed upon is as follows:
City Clerk-W f. Sapp.

Sidewalk Inspector-Jm Peterson.
Custodian Of City Hali--William Larson.
Poll Tax Collector-D. J. Whitaker
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Burke.
w. f. Sapp, who headed the republican
ticket, is to be compensated for his defeat
at the polls by receiving the appointment
of city clerk. No decision, however, was
reached as to the deputy city clerk. The
city clerk, theoretically. has the naming Of
his deputy, but it is no secret that the
councimen have a good deal to say as to
the appointment. Mr. Sapp, it is under
Stood is anxious to retain e. b. Bowman
the present deputy, but II. A. Baird. d. j.
Whitaker and T. l.. Hall are applicants for
the position.
The first caucus favored John l.. Temple
ton for chief of the fire department Two
years ago Templeton had to step down and
out to make way for Charles NJ. Nicholson,
the democratic appointee. and many repub-
licans now feel that it would only be fair
to Templeton to reinstate him.
The caucus decided on replacing City Elcc-
trician Atkins with a republican and II is
understood that the position will be offered
to Ed Carr, electrician for the motor COM
pany, but it was not known yesterday
whether Mr.. Carr would accept the place
or not James G. Bradley. who held the
position for a number of years. but was re-
moved to make way for Mr. Atkins, is an
applicant for the appointment.
Theodore Guitar was slated for street
commissioner, but he yesterday stated that
he did not want the job and would decline
the appointment. John Halle. formerly trus-
tee for Kane township, was to be rewarded
with the appointment OF sidewalk Inspector
while John Taylor to be offered the
appointment of poundmaster.
William Larson. ianitor at the North
Eighth Street school, was the choice for
custodian of the city hail. the salary of
which is s72O per annum.
The appointment of the members of the
police force is one of the perquisites of the
mayors Office and it is understood that at
the caucus Tuesday night it was decided
to respect the mayors prerogative and not
interfere with his appointments. The -chief
and members of the police force will be
named next Monday night by Mayor
Macrae, while the chief of the fire depart
ment and other appointees will be elected
by ballot by the eight members of the city
council, six Of whom are republicans
