Fayors Stranger for Chief

To the Editor of The Call-Dear Sir:
l have just read letter in your col
umns advocating the selection of a
chief of police from outside the state.
This is no new principle. It has al
ways been done in the colonial towns
in which l have lived Johannesburg,
Pietermaritzburg. Durham, Hobart, Well
ington), and usually man from an
other country has been appointed. And
in nearly every case that I can remem-
Der he has been military man Of
high standing. 1t would not be con-
sidered fair either to the man himself
or to the tax payers to appoint man
in town in which he has had BUSH
ness dealings with anybody. L have
always heard, too, that no Londoner
ever gets position in the London
police, and that they only take men
who have done good service in other
countries and whose record, and their
fathers record before them, is un-
furnished
Our superior judges (coloniaD, too,
are now all being obtained from other
countries. Yours faithfully,
II. HARRISON.

SUCCESSOR FOR
F. P. SARGENT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Frank
M Larned, the present assistant
commissioner general of immigra-
ton, has been strongly recommend
ed to the president to succeed the late
Frank P. Sargent, as commissioner
general Mr.. Larneds friends have
urged that he is well fitted for the
place in that he is the Oldest en-
ploye in point of service in the bur-
eau and is still a young man.
When the federal government in
1891 began to supervise actively the
entry of aliens into this country, Mr..
Larned became identified with the
immigration bureau, then under the
treasury department. He entered the
service as an inspector under Com
missioner Stump, the first head of the
bureau in 1891. When Commits
sioner Owns took charge, Mr.. Larned
was promoted to chief clerk, and held
this position under the third COM
missioner, Mr. Powderly, who is now
chief of the division of information
of the bureau. When a reorganiza.
ton took place at the time Commits
sioner Sargent was appointed, Mr.
Larned was made assistant commits
sioner.
