San Francisco is a great city and
no matter what setbacks may occur,
it will hold its commanding position
as the metropolis of the Pacific coast.
1t has things to offer that no other
city in the west has; it is built on a
solid foundation.
--The New Years eve downtown cele-
bration will give an opportunity for
the people Of San Francisco to show
their appreciation of the enterprise of
local merchants"

COOK NOW IN RACE
FOR POLICE CHIEF
Property Clerk, Former China

as Compromise Choice
Deadlock in Board Appears TO
Eliminate Cutler, Seymour
and Whelan

The police star OF Captain Jesse b
Cook, property clerk. is in the ascend
ant Just now when a successor TO Viii
liam J. Bisgy is discussed. He is re-
Earoed by many OF the wise ones" as
The most likely candidate for the po-
sidon and the opinion was expressed
in many quarters yesterday that the
commissioners, deadlocked on ell otl.er
candidates. would agree upon him as a
compromise choice.
II is not likely that the city will
have 20 wait long for a new chief
OF police The board of police com
missioners will hold a meeting at >
o'clock tomorrow afternoon to dispose
Of The charges against Captain Duke.
Il is regarded as extremely probable
that the new chief of police will be
chosen at an executive session imme-
diately preceding or following this
meeting.
Notwithstanding the secrecy main
tained by the commissioners it has
leaked out that the first choice Of the
four members of the board has been
announced in executive session Com
missioners Cutler and Keil are said TO
have gone on record as favoring Cutler
for chief Of police, while Commissioner
Leggett declared for former Sherin
WheIan, and Commissioner Sweigert for
former Captain Seymour
As neither Leggett nor Sweigert will
stand for Cutler for chief and as Cut
ler and Keil are said to have reciprocal
ed by declaring that they would not
stand for either Seymour or WheIan.
a deadlock has resulted.
That this deadlock viii be broken
on Monday by the appointment of Cook
IS now whispered by those few who
have some claim TO consider themselves
in The know" Cooks name has been
discussed by the commissioners and
none Of them has said anything unfa-
vorable to his candidacy. Every mem
Der Of the board has freely expressed
himself, it is said, as perfectly salts
fed that Cooks integrity and ability
are unquestioned.
Captain Cook is aware that his name
is being seriously discussed He has
stated that if he took the position it
would only be with the understanding
That if he failed to give satisfaction
and was removed he should regain his
rank in the department and assure
himself OF a pension upon retirement.
Jesse B. Cook ranks as a sergeant
in the police department, but his posi-
ton as property clerk gives him the
brevet rank of captain and captains
salary Of $500 a month He was ap-
pointed to the force on February 1S.
1889, and has therefore had nearly 20
years police experience He was made
sergeant in February, 1895, and ap-
pointed property clerk in September
1907 Cook was born in MarysviIle 4s
years ago and was taxidermist before
he entered the police department.
