TAYLOR SUCCEEDS BERRY.

Little Rock, January 2S.- Since the announcement was made yesterday that J. k. Fay Tor of Paragould will on April 1 succeed l.. P. Berry, jr., as as si5tant adjutant general of the Arkansas State Guard, there is some speculation as to who will make the tour Of inspection with the army officer detailed to that service in March. It is thought the army officer will be ac- companied over the different sec tions of the state by ranking of ficers in those districts, and thus do away with the, touring of the state by one officer from headquarters Assistant Adjutant General Berry has been a very popular and efficient official.

GARBAGE QUESTION
Berkeley Commissioners Turn
Supervision of 'Scavengers
Over to Chief of Police

BERKELEY, July -15.-Garbage dis
posal hereafter will be done under the
direction OF the police department, ac-
cording to the decision Of the council
this morning. Chief Of Police Vollmer,
working in conjunction with Christian
Hoff, commissioner of public health and
safety, will have direct charge OF the
garbage question, and an end of the
troublesome problem is promised.
The new rule is the result Of a
conference OF the councilmen when a
report of a committee composed of
Commissioners w. F. Mcclure, E. 3.
Norton and Christian Hon was heard.
They stated that the committee had
conferred with Mayor Frank Mott of
Oakland and secured continuance of
the present arrangement whereby the
Oakland contractors will haul Berke-
leys garbage to sea for dumping ,but
at lower rate than the $400 a month
now charged.
In. order to fix the responsibility of
collecting OF refuse matter the COM
mittee recommended that this business
be assigned to the department of pub
lie health and safety. Commissioner
Hof of that department made the ar
rangements with Vollmer today and
the chief of police will act through
FREDERICK MARITIME, head scavenger.
These arrangements will be carried
out until the erection Of an fncinerator
in the near future.
The council this morning prohibited
smoking in the council chambers dur
ing sessions. Policeman Charles Beck
er will attend the meetings to see that
the rule is observed. The presence of
women in the lobby at the meetings
is the reason given for the new order.
The city seal was slightly changed,
the words, Incorporated July l. 1908"
being changed to new charter July
l. 1902" as the city was incorporated
in 1873.
