Takes Place.
one OF the earliest fakes Of the cam
paign has been exploded in statements is
sued last night by p. II. Shields, formerly
chief detective OF the city. 1t had been
said that In the event p. J. Trainor was
elected mayor. p. II. Shields would be APP
pointed chief Of police. Democratic spell
binders hoped to draw a few Bohemian
votes. 1t was confidently affirmed by the
same parties that in the event Of the cleo
ton OF w. II. Queenan, Captain James
Sheehan would be promoted to the office
Of chief OF police.
Last night p. H. Shields put an e~ffectual
end to the talk OF his position by stating
emphatically tina he did not want such
a position under an elective board and that
he would not seek nor accept the place If
offered. He said he resigned his position
expressly because the board had been made
elective. He was offered the position Of
chief Of Armour & Company's special police
and considered It a far better place in
many ways than service for the city.
From the above statement which Mr..
Shields authorized II will be seen that the
democratic plans will have to be altered.
The fact that James Sheehan Is openly
named as chief Of police will not be pleas
ant for the electors the story sought to
draw.
First Day of registration.
The first day for the revision Of regis
tration for the election Of April 8 will be
March &c. The revisions will be conducted
by the Board OF Registrars at the several
polling places Of the city as heretofore.
The revision will be completed on the last
Of three separate days. The fact that
many unregistered voters swore in their
vote at the primary does not place them
on the poll books for the election. These
men will have TO appear before the
boards of registration and be enrolled.
Mayor Frank Koutsky has been busy
with his election proclamation and will
soon have the same ready for publication.
In connection with the use of the Aus
tralian ballot 1t is expected that the man
damus proceeding will be prepared and
filed today, so that the questions involved
may be settled in time to determine what
must be done.
VRssar Girls a Hit.
The last number Of the Young Mems
Christian association last night drew the
largest crowd OF the season. The enter
tainment was furnished by the ~well-known
Vassar girls troupe of musicians. They
gave a program OF twelve numbers cover
ing a wide range of sentiment and inter
probation. Nearly every number was given
a second and third encore. In their happy
responses the young women chose the
common and bestowed folk songs of the
immediate past and the present.
