NEW POLICE FORCE
 EXCEPT ONE MEMBER

DOUGLAS. June 10.-(Special. I- Of the present members of the Douglas police department George Cook is the only one who will hold his commission after June 15, Bob Hilburn, Lee Thompson, E. K. Martin and E. A. Farmer leaving the service at this time to be succeeded by P. Wimberley, s. G. IisIe, c. G. King and H. w. Moore This was decided upon at a special meeting of the city council held last night, the annunoce- ment following an executive session of more than an hour during which the availability of the various appli- cants was discussed.
 One change was made in the han ding of city prisoners. Hereafter one man from the force will be detailed as jailor and guard of prisoners. In the past Omar Phelan of the fire de- partment has acted as iailor and E. A. Farmer has been guard of prisoners. Phelan hereafter will be relieved of all duty in connection with the Jail and that work and guarding the pris- oners will be given one man H. ". Moore is slated for that place. To Marshal East will be left the assign ment of the new men to beats. These assignments will be announced later.
 George Cook the only holdoyer of the present police force, Is also the youngest member of the department in point of seniority, having only re- gently accepted commission. Cook has made a very diligent officer and has greatly .populariZed himself with the business men on his beat whose wish it was that he remain on the fOrcp
