street car franchise.
He expected to have an ordinance

DOSS IS NAMED
CHIEF OF POLICE
Mayor Edwards Decides That it is His Move and
Names Successor to Chief Bailey.
DOSS Sworn In

After an executive session lasting
MI nearly o'clock, the city council
yesterday elected Julius Doss as CHIEF
OF police, confirming the nomination
made by Mayor Edwards.
Previously the office had been de-
clared vacant. Mr.. Doss immediateIv
Qualified and was sworn in as the suc.
cessor of S. H. Bailey.
For two weeks the matter of CHIEF
OF police has been up in the air. a
grave legal question existing as to fhe
right Of the council to declare the
office vacant. A new element was in.
jected into the tangle when a decision
was handed down by the supreme
court in the McAlester case, in which.
according to newspaper report, it was
held that the chief could be ousted
only through proceedings in the dis
trict court.
Mayor Edwards finally decided to
cut the Gordian knot by appointing
chief, putting it up to Mr. Bailey to
so to court in case he decided to make
fight to hold the office.
The appointment of Mr.. Doss came
as a surprise as but few people knew
he had been mentioned in connection
with the place. He was. not a candl-
date for it, but when it was rendered
to him, he lost little time in accept
ing it.
Mr.. Doss is one OF the pioneers in
this community. He was second man
in the race for the Democratic nomi-
nation for sheriff in the primary two
years ago, and later served a few
months as deputy sheriff, a position
which he resigned on account Of the
pressure Of private business.
The mayor and the police commit
tee, consisting of Aldermen Coffman,
Petty and Hale, were in conference
several hours late yesterday on the
matter of appointment Of patrolmen.
The only other appointment made
by the council yesterday was that Of
w. F. Ramey, superintendent of pub
lis schools, as a member of the Car
negie Library board.
The applications for chief that were
placed before the council were as fol-
lows: c. f. Dayton Monroe John
SON. J. A. Darnell and B. F. Lovejoy.
It was learned from one of Mr.. Bal
leys attorneys this morning that he
will contest the action of the council
in declaring his office vacant. No
definite form of procedure had been
decided upon at that time,

the company" said Mr. Martin. AT
my suggestion Col. G. F. Woodward
came here from Boston, and after
looking over the field. he said he
would build the line if a franchise were
given him. know COL Woodward
very we'll. He is manager Of a number
OF electric lines in New England and
has probably built as many miles of
electric railway as any man in the
country. l know that he and his as
soeiates will do whatever they agree
to do.
GAS far as I am concerned, you can
depend upon it that the franchise will
be issued only for legitimate purposes
and If there Should be any flare up
Of any kind, I would at once be ready
to turn the franchise over without cost
to anybody who would use it.

One item OF $3.50 was allowed Tuesday by

securing evidence against the so-caled

Sheton's bill was recommended for pay

emily necessary Tor him to secure addi-
tlonal help in getting the matter approved
by the commissioners, as Attorney f. G.
Ashton and Special Prosecutor z. T.
Farnsworth appeared before the commits
sioners and urged that Shelton be paid
for his secret work. Shelton himself
asked that he be paid at once, as he de-
sired to leave the city for Seattle. The
commissioners approved the claim and
charged IL up to Sheriff Sharp's contin-
gent expense account.
There will also be an extra charge of
about $3.50 for legal expenses contracted
