CHIEF JONES RESIGNS
TO MAKE CANVASS

Chief of Police Jones has rendered
his resignation to the board of mayor
and aldermen to take effect Thursday
afternoon at 6oclock, June 20. Mr..
Jones has recently been nominated for
sheriff of Washington county and is re
signing his present office in order to
devote all of his time until the election
on August l, to canvassing the county
in the interest of his candidacy. He
stated to The Comet that his resigna-
ton was not offered in the interest of
any one as his successor. Beyond the
fact that he wants TO see good man
selected, he is not interested. He is
neither for or against any herson and
will not be. Mr.. Jones has made a
capable and industrious official and
given the city clean and business-like
administration land retires with the
good will of all. He served as sheriff
for one term and made splendid
record in office, being one of the most
painstaking officials the county had.

His condition, while not regarded as
dangerous, is not at all reassuring. He
has been ill for the past ten days, and
it was reported yesterday that he
would soon be able to enter actively
upon his campaign for governor, but
he took turn for the worse yesterday
and spent very uncomfortable night
and was reported in very nervous
and weakened condition this morning.
1t is feared now that he is threatened
with appendicitis. While this diagno-
sis has not been announced, his physi-
clans do not deny the possibility of
such turn in his case.
The senator was stricken with what
he believed to be slight bilious attack
and thought with few days quiet he
would soon recover, but the change in
his condition makes it extremely
doubtful if he will be able to leave his
room for some days yet, even should
the threatened appendicitis be averted.
