accepted by the commissioners. Every
man now in the fire department, both
regulars and subs, will De recommend
ed by Chief Bicker for reelection to
the positions which they now hold. The

with yesterday by the illness of Police
and Fire Commissioner Pou, who was
unable to be at his office in the city
hall yesterday on account of suffering
from a nervous headache.
Chief of Police Frank Sanders told
a representative of The Journal last
night that he and Commissioner Pou
have held several conferences during
the past few days for the purpose of
investigating the official record of
each man in the police department, but

day on account of the illness of Com
missioner Pou. Chief Sanders said that
the work of revision would be COM
