 at Elks' Home

Sergeant P. A. Cochran is being con graduated by his many friends upon his appointment as captain of the Ems lev police department to succeed Capt M. J. Donlan. whose resignation goes into effect May 1. The other changes that have been made in the local de- partment to go into effect the same date are, c. B. Wiggins, head of the detective department, to take the place of Sergeant Cochran. Detective O. b. Brown will succeed Detective Wiggins and Patrolman McDuffy c. White will take Detective Browns place. N. w.. Howell will be supernumerary at the local station.
 Sergeant Cochran has been on the Ensley police department for I2 years and has been very capable and effi- cient officer. While he is to take the place of perhaps one of the best cap tains in the Birmingham district, his many friends do not hesitate to say that he will fill his new office with much efficiency and ability. They wish him much success in his new posi- tion. His many years of service and his ability to handle men will no doubt make very efficient head of the Ems ley department, which is the largest in the Birmingham district.
