HOUSTON RESIGNS
FROM CITY bench
POLICE JUDGES RESIGNATION
WILL BE ACCEPTED BY COM
MISSION TODAY.
Tom MunrOe and Judge Curry are
Two Most Likely Candidates
for the Position.

Police Judge Chauncy A. Houston
has resigned. III health and his own
Increasing personal business are the
reasons given in his written resigna-
ton now in the hands Of Mayor
Wooden which will be accepted By
the city commission this morning.
His successor will also probably be
ramed today, but If any agreement
as to who 1t is, had been reached
last night 1t could not be learned.
The commissioners for several days
have been quietly discussing among
themselves, a new judge. City prose
cutor Tom Munroe and Judge Frank
H. Curry have been among those dis
cussed and the appontee may be one
of these two.
For a long time rumors Of Judge
Houston's resignation have been rife,
but on several occasions he has taken
occasion to emphatically deny that
such was his intention. However
these rumors have become more in
s'stent of late and last night Mayor
Wooden stated that he had Judge
Houston's written resignation IN his
pocket.
In this written resignation Judge
Houston asks that it be accepted at
once and gives as his reasons his fail
ing health and his increasing per
sonal business AT least two doctors
have advised him to give up his po-
sition and Of late his friends have en-
tertaned serious fears for his health.
His oil production has also been in
crcasing. adding much to his business
affairs
Judge Houston has been on the
municipal bench for almost four
wears and would have been completed
his second full term IN May

In a telegram to A. P. Strub, Presi-
lent Justice of the Central Baseball
Association, practically assures the
fans of Marshalltown that this city will
be given an opportunity to enter the
league this season, negotiations at Mo-
line having practically come to an end.
In his message President Justice said
that the committee selected to recon-
mend the eighth city to make up the
league, succeeding Kewanee, ILL.,, which
has dropped out. will visit this city this
week to AXE up with local fans the
purchase of the KeWanee franchise.
While President Justices message
was indefinite. it is taken to indicate
that negotiations with Moline are at
an end, especially so since the Pillow
City fans failed to exercise their OPP
the time for the expiration of the OPP
ton. Mr.. Justice has written Mr..
Strub fully and until his letter is re-
case will not be definitely known.
Moline "Falls Down."
AS to the situation in Moline it is
believed there is little or no chance
of that city being considered further
as a contender for the place. AT a
meeting in that city Saturday evening

While it was indicated that the en-

with the small portion OF the sun

which could not be overcome. Moline
is without a ball park. Browning field
had been selected but, when an investi-
cation was made it was learned that
to the ownership would preclude all
possibility Of securing that particular
tract.
Moline Asks More Time.
