READY TO ACCEPT
RESIGNATION OF
CHIEF HUTCHINSON
Commissioners, 1t Is Under
stood, Will Advance Officers
in Point of Rank
THOMPSON FOR CHIEF ?
Reported That C. A. Garverieh
Is Slated For Head of
Fire Department
THOMPSON FOR CHIEF ?

If Council is called upon to-mor-
row to act on the resignation of Col.
Joseph B. .Hutchison as chief of police
the commissioners, 1t is understood,
will suggest the following temporary
changes for the conduct of the office
throughout the unexpired terry
Captain Joseph P. Thompson 20 be
chief
Lieutenant ]. Edward Warden to
be captain.
c-nior Sergeant Amos Drabenstadt
to be lieutenant.
Whether or not these suggestions
Will go into Council will depend, of
course, upon whether or not the COM
missioners are called upon to act on
Colonel Hutchison's resignation"
said city official to-day. lit is un-
derstood that the chief wishes his
resignation to become effective Oc-
tober 15, and Council will be prepared
for this contingency. The majority of
the commissioners believe that the
advancement of the officers in point
of rank will solve the problem,
temporarily at least"
Whether or not Captain Thompson
had been considered as a candidate
for the chieftaincy at the close of the
present administration, the council
men declined to say. Were hardly in
position to discuss that at this time,
do W tfi7k?" one of them laughed.
City circles were busy to-day
gossiping over the report that Cap
tain Thompson is to be retained by
Mayor Meals as chief of police and
that William l.. Windsor. Jr., formerly
alderman of the Fourth ward; is to
be captain.
While the commissioners refused
to talk about the report that c. A.
Garverich, formerly fire chief, was
slated for the chieftaincy of the de-
partment under the new administra-
ton, one commissioner significantly
remarked that two years ago when
the former fire chiefs name was sug-
gested, his appointment had been op-
posed.

LABOR MEN MAKE FINAL PLEA
FOR SHIP SAFETY
Giving warning that the men OF
power would try to shove response
bility for the Eastland disaster on
some little fellow if they saw the
shadow of judgment falling in their
direction, union labor has again
asked that the men higher up in the
federal steamboat inspection service
be held accountable for the OvertUTn-
ing of the Eastland.
This last appeal was made by Sam
Gompers, president of the A. F. OF L.,
in person. Accompanied by John
Fitzpatrick and E. N. NOckles, presi-
dent and secretary of the c. F. of L.,
Gompers has just talked to U. S. Dis
trict Atty Clyne.
The labor leaders laid emphasis on
the overlooking and undermining OF
lake excursion boats. They said the
Eastland owners hired inexperienced
men because they could get them
cheapIy. Often these men were ig-
nOrant Iandlubbers, unable to under
stand a single nautical order.
The protested that an $1,8OO-a-
year inspector should not be held re-
spOnsible for such conditions, but
that the chiefs of the service should
shoulder the blame for the slaughter
of today two weeks ago.
The government has completed its
physical investigation of the Eastland
hulk and today turned the hull back
to the authority of state and county.
Judge Lands took the hulk under
government authority in the heart of
the squabble between Sec'y Redfield
and state authorities.
