Ment, has not exerted itself to prevent
the spread Of the anti-American boy

DONAHUE WILL BL
ELECTED CHAIRMAN
VIII be at Head of Police
Commission
ELECT FORCE TONIGHT
Only a Few If Any Changes VIII Be
Made In the Personnel of the De-
partment-The Chief Has
More Authority.

At the meeting of the police commits
chairman to succeed Thomas Parker. who
will not stand for reelection. 1t is said
that Mr.. Donahue will be the unanimous
choice of the commission.
The commission will also elect two lieu
tenants, two desk sergeants and patrol
men for the ensuing year. So far as is
known practically the same men will be
elected to their present positions.
Several days ago it was thought that
possibly Sid B. Jones would be candi-
date for the craftsmanship, but when Mr..
Donahue announced Mr.. Jones immedi-
ately withdrew his name, and stated that
Mr. Donahue was agreeable to him. 1t is
probable that no other name will be men,
toned at the meeting tonight in connec-
tion with the craftsmanship.
The commission does not elect the chief
and the captain tonight. These two Of
ficers were elected at the last annual
meeting for "A term of two years. The
present officers of the police department
are Chief W. f .Wier. Capt. John S.
johnson, Lieut. T. Y Hagood, Lieut. Mar
tin Eagan, Sergt. T. j. Shirley and Sergt
Atticus Muilin
1t may be that several patrolmen will
be let off the force tonight, but If this
happens there Is no slate to that effect.
It may be, however, that some men will
not be reelected on account of the more
stringent enforcement of the rules and
regulations of the department made neces-
sary by the change from twelve-hour
shifts to eight-hour shifts.
The commission has already given the
chief more authority to enforce discipline.
He has the power now to suspend patrol
men for minor offenses after hearing the
evidence In the cases against them. This
was done In order that the commission
would not have to hear the numerous
cases for petty offenses such as smoking
on duty and failing to have the coat but
toned.
The commission desires an increase in
the number of patromen but 1t does not
seem as If additional men can be secured
at the present time 1t is probable that
no steps will be taken at present looking
to larger force.
Chairman Parker of the commission
stated last night that he had several
reasons for not desiring the place again.
Among other things he stated that he
did not think 1t democratic to hold the
office several terms in succession. He said
he thought some of the other members of
the commission were entitled to the place.

ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT
IS NOW BEING TALKED

euss the matter of eneampments. He
said that a circular had been received
from the secretary of war relative to
the Alabama National Guard going into
camp with the United States soldiers
at Chckamauga park between August
and September 80.
As yet no action has been taken in
Alabama regarding the circular sent out
by the department. It may be possible
that a provisional regiment will be sent
from Alabama to Chickamauga park, but
the conditions are not yet settled and
until they are understood nothing definite
will be decided.
A number of the officers in the Third
prefer going into regimental encampment
somewhere In the state, and they do not
desire to take part in the maneuvers at
Chickamauga park, claiming that the
drills and the work at government en-
campment would be too severe for ma
tional guardsmen.

The matter of the annual encampment OF
the Alabama National Guard is the alb
sorbing topic interest in military circles
at present. The line and staff officers
of all the regiments are discussing the
matter and looking about for suitable
places for camps.
As usual the matter of where the en-
eampment of each regiment will be held
will probably be left to the regimental
commanders. AS yet Colonel McKleroy
of the Third regiment has not made any
statement about the camping grounds
for his regiment.
A number of the officers in the reg
ment favor Montgomery, but it is the
general opinion in the Third that Mobile
would be the preferable place for the an

there.
