and is ready for the occupancy of IG

There seems to be no question how
ever. but that the appointment will 60
to Mr.. Moran, in view of the unani-
nous recommendation Of the state com
mittee.
Mr.. Moran and Mai Childs present
cd petitions of about the same length.
It was argued that Mr. Childs had
held the office II years. later holding a
government position in Washington
five wears, and this doubtless had some
influence with the committee IN voting
in favor of Mr.. Moran.
The term of Col. Kittredge Haslins
will expire Jan. q, 1915. The salary
of the office is &3.200.
The committee voted to recommend

with the ordinary spherical bomb.
Mr.. Y studied the operation from
the roof of the house through a pair of

themselves against the chimney. Luckily
the shots were fired from considerable
distance, So he had time to beat retreat
