Not Offered Appointment

1T must be made cIear, however, that
he never had been offered the appoint
ment or even stated his Willingness to
accept, nor ever had sought the ap-
pointment in any way Neither Colonel
Fyffe or Major Dorrance are applicants
for the position, although we have rea-
son to believe Major Dorrance would
entertain the proposition If we should
offer it to him.
The commissioners have not settled
upon any one man yet, however, both
Mr.. Weatherly and Mr.. Ward said yes
terday. They admit that they have been
devoting almost their entire time to
the matter for the past two or three
days and are endeavoring to. close up
the proposition. They state that they
realize there Is an unsettled condition
in the police department which should
be eliminated as soon as possible and
that as soon as they fined man to
suit they will make the appointment.
Many are looking for the appoint
ment at the regular commission meet
ing next Tuesday, but MIR. Weatherly
said yesterday there was no assurance
of an agreement by that time and 1t
might go over for another week or so.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-20
Ward and Weatherly Silent

Both Mr.. ward and MIR. Weatherly
fatty refuse to answer questions in re-
gard to their position as regards Cap
tain Eagan, but unless there are devel-
opments to alter the situation recent
events at the city hall strongly indi-
cate their position as opposed to him
as a chief of police.
There is no doubt but what some
time ago Captain Eagan stood strong
chances of appointment.
To those who are watching the sit
uation at the city hall, 1t would appear
that Major Dorrance is now the best
man in the race. 1t is known that his
recommendation by friends has been
remarkable and has made strong i'm
preston.
The friends of John Cole of North
Birmingham also have made a strong
impression upon the commission and he
is being carefully considered. 1t is said
that one of Major Dorrance's best
recommendations is his military ex-
perience and training. He stands high
in the militia life of the state and many
of the military officers have called upon
the commission.
There can be but little doubt" said
one of the commissioners last night,
but what Colonel Fyffe was eliminated
this morning from further consideration
when the city attorney brought up the
question of the legality of his appoint
ment on the grounds that he Us not a
resident of the state. This has since
been further Investigated and although
ii Is not a certainty it is such con-
dition that the very doubt itself would
make 1t unwise to further consider Col
onel Fyffe for even IL he were ap-
pointed it would be unjust to ourselves
and to him to bring him here probably
TO face a law suit on his right to hold
the office

terday practically eliminated from the
list of probable police chiefs the name
of Col. Fred Fyffe of Chattanooga, who
up until that time was being seriously
considered for the appointment.
1t appears that Maj L. S Dorrance
and John Cole of North Birmingham are
now two of the most prominent cam
didates being considered by the COM
mission, although the commissioners, of
course. decline to give out any direct
information
There Is little doubt but what Capt.
Martin Eagan, now acting chief Of
police, also has been eliminated from
the race. Judge A 0. Lane, as previous
ly published In several statements,
favors the appointment of Captain Ea-
gan. President Ward and Commissioner
Weatherly, although they steadfastly
maintain silence, beyond all reasonable
doubt, are opposed to Captain Ea gain S
appointment. If resolution on his ap-
pointment ever comes to a vote Judge
Lane undoubtedly will find himself in
the minority.
