The moon crept into the shadow Of

indianapolis, Ind. Nov 27.-In an
address to the Friday Bible class at the
Y. NJ. c. A. yesterday, J. w. Thomp-
son, a lawyer. denounced Mayor Book

he ought to be impeached because of
his statement that he will not make
any special effort to enforce the
Beardsley liquor law, which was de-
clared by the supreme court a few days
ago to be constitutional
Mayor Bookwalter ought to be i'm

He found no excuse for such an at

Members of the local police depart

probable reorganization of the force
under the Zimmerman administration.
Speculation is rife as to what republi-
can will gain the coveted plum of po-
lice chief, and some of the democratic
officers are having a spirited little con-
test for the first sergeantship. A re-
publican will be named as second SER

Staubach. like the other two candi-
dates, is very capable. having been in
the ranks for a number of years an
also served as sergeant several years
ago.
A Desirable Office.
The first sergeantship is considered
by the officers as desirable a position
in many respects as that of chief of po-
lice, although Of course there is more
honor and better pay connected with
the latter position. The salary of the
first sergeant is by no means small,
that officer receiving in all $50 per
month, $40 for his services as a police
officer and the remainder because he
is bailiff Of the police court acts as
