MARTIN EAGANNOW
 CHIEF OF POLICE
Appointed Yesterday-Shir- ley Is Made Junior
 Captain

Martin Eagan yesterday was formal 1y appointed chief of police of Bir- mingham by the city commission. Pres
 ident Ward and Commissioner James weatherly were present and both voted aye" Judge Lane being absent on ac- count of slight illness.
 Sergeant Tom Shirley was named captain to fill the vacancy made by
 Eagan's promotion. No other changes
 in the police department were made although other promotions and rear engagements are scheduled as soon as Judge Lane returns to his office. Ihe appointment of Captain Eagan and
 Sergeant Shirley was not unexpected, the action having been indicated since last Saturday morning when The Age
 Herald announced that the changes
 would be made.
 It appears almost certain now that the separate detective department Is
 one of the things to be abolished when Judge Lane recovers and is back at his office. The other promotions in the department will probably be left to the discretion of the new chief Wheth- CT or not Chief of Detectives Steve Wiggns and Lieutenant Streit will be retained when the detectives and po- lice are reunited under Chief Eagan Is unknown and the commissioners de-
 cline information. They state they do
 not know what they will do until after
 conference with Judge Lane.
 Judge Lane has been opposed to the
 separate detective department since its
 organization and has been strongly in
 favor of Eagan's appointment since l Chief Bodeker was discharged. The po-
 lice department muddle Is now about l cleared up. Captain Eagan is extreme i ly popular with practically every man
 on the force and the news of his ap- pointment is being received with de- l light, while many expressions of sat l isfaction are being heard about town.

KELLEY PETITION
 DENIED BY CITY
Commission Passes ResOlu, tion Refusing to Grant
 Railway Franchise

formal resolution of but one sen tence yesterday sealed the fate of George c. Kelley and associates. who, for sev- eral months, have had a petition pend ing before the city commissioners for a franchise for general street raiway 7 route in this city. The petition was de- nied.
 The kelleys and the Tidewater com pany have had rival petitions for he same route and both companies were asked to make written propositions ct their plans which have been before the commissioners for some weeks. For sometime it has practically been conceded that the Tidewater was to be granted the franchise. but until yesterday the kel ley plans had not been refused. The ac- ton now leaves the Tidewatcr as the only applicant for the franchise and makes it a practical certainty that that company will be granted the franchise.
 The Kelley company last winter for several months held franchise to build d street railway, but was compelled to forfeit 1t by alleged bad faith of their financial packers and thereby lost some $1200, which they had already been ob- liged to pay into the city treasury. Irn- >mediately after the Kelley forfeiture vas taken several different applications tor q franchise similar to the one forfeited were filed with the commissioners. out it finally dwindled down to the Tide water and the Kelley company. The Kelley company merely asked for re- grant of the same franchise they mad been compelled to forfeit
 The Kelley companys fight for a street car franchise has been going on for couple of years, and at times has furnished much excitement in municipal affairs. What their next step will be, if any is unknown at present.

UNCLE, e. D. STRICKLAND,
FROM SAN DOMINGO.
On board the U. S. S. Machias
Puerto Plato, San Domingo,
October 20, 1914.


E. o. Strickland, Floris, Iowa:
Dear Uncle: Your letters received
the 18th and very glad to hear from
you again.
You see we finally got here. They
set the date to leave so many times
and then didn't leave, we began to
think we never would get away. We
left Monte Christi this morning at
and got here at 2:3O this afternoon
The old tub" managed to kick out ten
knots an hour, which is little better
than she generally does.
We coaled yesterday. Only took on
70 tons, just enough to fill us up. You
know we just coaled about two weeks
ago.
Our relief, the Hancock, has been at
Monty" about week. We were over
to see one of their movie shows before
we left She carries about 900 marines,
besides her crew, so you see standing
room was pretty scarce.
The election was postponed until the
last of the month (25, 26 and 27. We
brought several marines with us. They
are going to some little town up the
coast to see that the voting is straight,
guess it was our government that
got up the new peace plans, so, there
fore they aim to make the natives
stick to their part of the agreement. I
We have been in Puerto Plato 50
much of the time we've been down
around here, that we call it the "home
yards"

had splintered them.
This is the only ship here now.
guess all of the battle ships have been
called back to New York.
We are to get liberty in town. Last
Sunday at Monte Christi, the boys
went into town. They were to be on
the docks at 5 D. m. but when the time
came only a few of them showed up
so the boats showed off without them
A boat was sent after them about dark.
Today they were sent up to the stick.

inquiry and fourteen of them got a

If I dor't forget it, l will send you
the new regulations and it will give
you an idea of how we fellows are
governed.
Well, grandma, am sure coming
home, if I can, when we get to the
states, but as to my not returning to
the ship, there is nothing doing, FOR
have no desire to spend several months
in a naval prison. Even if there was
to be war, which there is no danger
would never think of trying to get
out of it. Anybody that deserts after
taking the oath, isn't very much of a
man or boy as the case may be. AS to
my paying dear for my enlisting,
don't see it that way. Of course being
away from home makes it bad, but you
know was always working away from
home anyway.
Will have to close now. Mail Is ex
pected the last of the week so suppose
will hear from you soon.

Study your capabilities. A man said
TO kid How did you learn to
skate so well?" The kid answered:
by getting up every time fell
down.
If your pockets are empty, NIL your
heart full of resolution.
In building your character, don't you
leave out religion.
There's more hope for fool than
for a swell-head.
If God had wanted your son to be
another you he'd have made you
twins; but one of you is enough.
Leave the cellar and climb up on
the roof garden.

hill, be sure he didn't light there, he
climbed.
| DR.. w. H. Sheldon, formerly con-
nected with Simpson college, now a
minister of Scranton, Pa, spoke few
minutes preceding Sundays sermon
on the lasting good the evangelist had
done in the Pennsylvania city. He
emphasized the fact that the SUNDAY
converts "stuck."
The newspapers OF Des MONIES
came in for a nice compliment from
Sunday for their courteous treatment
of him and his party and their ell
Gent handling of reports OF the meet
ings.
Des Moines bids fair to establish
precedent in the amount coilecteo

That the regenerating influence up
on q community, awakened by Billy
Sunday, goes on long after the evan
gelist has left is attested by an open
letter sent Des Moines newspaper
by Pittsburgh man. Due to the re-
vival held by Sunday in Pittsburgh
many months ago the writer says:
