PLAN TO HAUL.
MAIL BY TRUCKS
Government Has Tentative Plan
For Mail Service Out of
Columbus.

As an emergency measure the Post
Office department through Postmas-
ter 7. H. Shap, the past week made
tentative arrangements with truck
owners in Columbus for mail delivery
service out of Columbus to towns in
the immediate Columbus territory
The memorandum contracts are
with the Robinson Motor Car Co,
and the Columbus Auto Company.
While no definite policy has been
announced by the Postoffice depart
ment relative TO the handling of the
mails by auto truck, it is believed
the department is making arrange
ments so that the mail delivery viii
be assured undeg all circumstances
and in the event of any emergency
at any time The department real
lied the Importance Of mail delivery
and is taking this precaution TO in
sure its distribution.
In the event auto delivery service
is put on an active and definite basis
it is very probable that Columbus
will be the distributing center for the
contiguous territory.

some degree Of comfort and salts
faction, and enjoy the essential con-

MAYORS ACTION
Is SUSTAINED
Council Sustains Action In Sus-
pending Chief of Police
Glover Declines Position
on Force.

The actiun Of Mayor McClanahan
in suspending Mr.. A. Y. Glover as
Chie1 o1 Ponce, was sustained by
the city council Friday night after
hearing the charges and testimony
IN the case and Immediately Mr..
Glover was elected a member Of the
police force.
MIR. Glover formally declined the
position, stating to the council that
under the circumstances he did not
feel justified in accepting it.
The vote on both propositions was
unanimous.
In anticipation of the hearing
large crowd assembled in the clty
court room on the second floor OF
the city hall building and the room
was packed throughout the hearing
The hearing developed into
form of trial which proceeded III
regular and irregular style. 1t was
a general mixture of proper court
action, and loose and informal pro-
cedure.
Mayor McClanahan presided over
the session. Before the trial started
Councilman Vaughan, who Is related
to Mr.. Glover, recused himself ana
did not participate in the hearing
or in the executive session of the
council following the hearing.
Mr.. Glover was represented by
Mr.. w. C. Meek, while the interests
of the city and the Mayor were
handled by Gen. f. t. Sykes, city
attorney.
The trial opened with the formal
communication to the cOuAacil by the
Mayor of his action in suspalding
the chief. This was followed by the
reading of the formal charges Of
the mayor in support Of his action
After the reading of the charges
Mr.. Glover entered a plea OF not
guilty.
The Mayor then went on the
stand and was examined and cross
examined relative to the eiarges
against the chief. Witnesses were
introduced in support of the charges
and these were examined by both
the attorneys.
The gisr of the Mayors charges
was inefficiency and failure to en-
force the law.
MIR. Glover went on tie stand IN
defense and made clean-cut state
ment Oh All his official acts, ihd
made plain his position on all mat
ters involved in the case.
The hearing was completed after
II o'clock, having lasted nearly five
hours.
1t is probable that the council
will elect a chief of police at the
regular meeting Tuesday night. Ot-
ficer Major Cook is acting chef
on appointment from the Mayor.
