At II o'clock this morning the annual
inspection and review of the police de-
partment by the mayor and board OF
police commissioners will take place al
Eighth and Olive streets.
Nearly 200 men of all ranks in the
department will be in line at the time
of the inspection. The officers VIII meet
at the armory at Eighth and Spring
streets and will march from there to
Olive street, where Mayor Harper ana
the members of his commission anu
the higher officials of the department
will be gathered.
Every patrolman and official of the
department will be in full dress uni
form. and only those officers actually
required to be on duty at the time VIII
be excused.
After the inspection the first presenta-
tion of medals, one each for valor and
fidelity. will be made by Mayor Harper.
1t is understood the first medal 1or
valor will be given to Patrolman An
thony Connolly, who arrested the muir

Medal for Fidelity

This medal will be presented to the
officer of the department who In the
oninion of his superiors has been most
faithful and loyal In the performance
of his duties during the past year II II
has only been in diligence and atten-
tiveness in walking his beat.
Just who this medal will go to is
auandary. for the chief of police ana
the police commission selected Tor
themselves a titanic task when this
medal was offered. Among SO many
faithful and loyal officers 1t is hard for
them to make a selection, but that the
medal will be worthily bestowed Is be-
yond doubt.
It is probable there will be a large
crowd of citizens at Eighth and olive
streets this morning to witness the IN

Thousands of votes were cast yester-
day for the popular contestants in The
Heralds $4,000 contest. Votes came
from every nook and corner, and nearly
every candidate in the race benefited
thereby. There are several changes TO
be noted in the lineup, and others are
only in advance a place or two. but
every notch counts, and as the days are
rapidly slipping away those who get
nearer the lead will eventually come
out the winners. Anything that is
worth giving away is worth working
for and many people do not feel dis
posed to help out unless the candidate
helps herself. Every prize is worth
making a great effort to win, and the
remaining seven weeks of the contest
will decide to whom the prizes will be
awarded.
