OF PUTTING OTHERS IN, AND

The announcement by Capt. Frank
d. Sanders, the newly-elected marshal
of Pensacola, that he intends to rec
ommend l.. J. Anderson and J. A. Daw
to the Board of Safety for appoint
ment as deputy marshal and night
captain, respectively. has caused the
officers at present holding the posi-
tiOns to cast about for means to pre-
vent their removal.
Capt. w. T. Etheridge, the present
night captain, said last night that he
did not intend resigning the position,
and that Captain Fondebila, the pres
ent deputy marshal. also intends to
resist. Capt Etheridge advances the
argument that both have been elected
to these positions upon the recon-
mendatiOn of the marshal. by the
Board of Safety, and holds that a
change in the head of the department
does not necessarily mean that they
are TO be removed, and that they
should remain in their positions until
the Board of Safety removes them for
cause.
Another View.
One of the newly elected members
of the Board of Safety last night said
that it was his opinion that an officer
could not be dismissed, except for
cause, but that the Board of Safety
which has the power of promoting or
appointing, has also the power of re-
ducing, and that, in such case, any
of the present ranking officers could
be reduced to the rank of patrolman
Regarding the question or selecting
deputy marsnals and captains from
the ranks, the board member stated
that Anderson and Daw could be elec
ted officers. and then promoted if the
Board so desired.
