is Chief BARLOW
GOING TO RESIGN?
Rumor and Anxiety Follow Early
Morning Call by the
Mayor.
OPEN BREAK ON GAMBLING
Many Around Police Headquarters
Assign the Rock on Which
Tic Split Is Due.

Is Mayor Brunsford about to ask for
the designations of Chief of Police Bar

stead?
This is the question asked by many
in police circles today. Rumor and
anxiety followed an carly morning call
OF the, mayor upon Barlow and Il con-
ference behind closed doors that lasted
OYER an hour.
Some say that Barlow will be asked
to resign as a sacrifice to the voters a.
the coming election, and that his detcc-
tive head will so not SO much for po-
litcai rcasons as for general incom-
potency. Barlow was silent about the
matter all day today but in tee-
phone communication often with men
who are known to be his close personal
friends.
Bcckstead spent the morning in his
office pouring over an old grip that he
had captured. 1t WAS filed with old
papers and two copies OF a lost Will
evidently made by a California man.
When he had finished reading all the
papers he gave the contents to an after
noon newspaper man who pats him on
the back through his paper, and then
went out to lunch.
There are many around headquarters
who will tell that they think Barlow
as chief of the Salt Lake police viii
be thing of the past in 10 days. They
give their reasons, and they are sup
ported In this by some persons who
openly claim that Barlow and Brans-
ford have had an open break on the
gambling situation. Barlow Is, how
ever silent about this as about all
matters relating to the policing OF the
