{. O.PFE|L WINNER
IN AUDITORIUM
PLAN CONTEST
Building Commission and Ad-
visory Architects Select His
Plans for Municipal Audi
toriula and Market House.

C. o. Pfeil, one Of the leading archi-
tects Of the South, will draw the plans
for the new municipal auditorium and
market house.
Five Memphis architects submitted
tentative plans for the two new munich
nal buildings. which were passed upon
this week by three of the leading ar,
chitectural experts of the United
States. The result of their checking
and final decision was given to the
building commissioners Friday evening
and the commissioners, after consulta-
tion, voted to accept Mr.. Pfeirs plans.
These will have to be redrawn In
some particulars and complete working
be made, so that the completed, plans
and specifications probably will not
be available for at least six weeks,
POSSIBLY for two months. When the
specifications have been completed,
bids will be asked for and probably
and October.
Mr.. Pfeils plans were awarded the
decision In the contest not only for
beauty Of architectural design, but on
tfs general interior plan and the other
details which enter 'S,n Int the constlTuc ,tlI .,
B, timer, of st. Louis, will be en-
ployed as advisory ARCHITECT for the
commissioners and the successful ar
chitect.
The special advisers Of the building
commission, Benz 8. Hubbell of Cleve
land, O., and Frank L, Packard, OF
Columbus, were much pleased both with
the plans submitted to them and with
the site, which they regard as an ideal
one in every way.
More attention has been paid by the
public to the long campaign to secure
municipal auditorium, than to the
work of the various committees which
originated the movement for munich
pal market. The market, however. per-
haps will prove OF more immediate
value to every citizen OF Memphis than
will the auditorium, as II Ia planned to
make It q distributing center for the

that the location OF the site ana The
general plans of the commission were

CLEARY GOOD OFFICER.
BUT HE WASN'T FRIGHT"

Martin Cleary who was dismissed
from the police force Friday by order
Of c. n. Quinn, Republican police com
missioner, had no charges placed
against him
In fact during nearly 25 years serv-
Ice on the force Cleary was never rep
rimanded by his superiors for any neg
lect of duty. for the simple reason that
he never neglected any duty. He had
for years been considered one of the
best men on the force He was fear
less, but never overhenring, and knew
how 10 be courteous in his relations
with the public II was largely for
that reason that he was assigned TO
the traffic squad last year.
He had been sergeant for several
years and had been on the force con-
tinuously for Il years He served twice
before as a ratromAn and had given
nearly half his lifetime to the service
Of the city.
No reason is given by Mr.. Quinn for
dscharging him, except that it Is "for
the good OF the service"
Mr.. Quinn started in as soon as he
was transferred TO the police depart
ment to dismiss all men who are not
ready to stand with him politically,
Sergt, Cleary, however, never played
politics in his work on the depart
ment He was a lifelong friend, II Is
true Of John r. Walsh, and some of
the older men who have figured in city
politics In the past, but was In no way
partisan and he took no part In polit-
ical factional fights.
