George Raleigh, whose name was
sent to the council by Chief Barlow to
be confirmed as a member of the police
force, will be turned down tonight by
the city fathers 1t is understood The
police and prison committee refused to
stand for Raleigh's appointment be-
cause OF the charges that were made
against him IN connection with the Nc
Whittier robbery. 1t Is claimed that
Raleigh's appointment was a deep
seated scheme of Chief of Detectives
George Sheets to place him on the de-

will add about $40, 200 to the city's pay
rolls each year.
The meat ordinance will come up to-
might for it's first reading. There are
several butchers who are opposed to It,.
The committee has reported faroraibly,
upon it, however, and it will probably
