LEON SCHWARTZ
 LIKELY TO WIN
 CAZALAS POST
Former Service Man Be. lieved To Hold Inside
 Track Over O0thers

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 7.-tSpecial Ieased Wire.)-Speculation over q successor to former Sheriff Cazalas, who submitted his resignation to the governor, has received increased impe- tus by reports that six or more per sons had entered the free for all scramble for the appointment. Cazalas ouit the office rather thaE fight .m- peacl,ment proceedings filed against him in the Alabama supreme court
 Applicants fo- tL. position are:
 Capt Leon Schwartz, ex-service man md Mobile business man; Frank ": Crepshaw, former chief of police and identified with political life of Aloh'!e !, Emo,s S. Thomas, defeated by Cazalas for sheriff in the last election; Col. F. G. Lawton, retired army officer, now employed by the dock board: J. Bestor Robertson, former jucy commissioner, and Harry Drysdale, sex-serfice man.
 According to int ,rrntlcn available at tic state capital Saturday two de yelopments were outstanding Tn the matter of naming a Mobile sheriff. They were the announcement ot the governor that he would not announce a successor until the first of next week in order to give all concerned fair hearing, and the other the definite elimination of Thomas as possible successor to Cazalas. Word from the State capital gave information that it was understood that the governor would not name Thomas to the position under any circumstances. Thomas entry into the race, bearing the indorsement of the Cazalas- Holcombe faction, brought vigorous opposition on the part of a number of Mobilians, the Citizens League sending resolutions to the gov ernor protecting against naming Thom- as to the position.
 From the best information obtain able indications are that Captain Shwartz will be appointed to the posi- tion. No definite announcement to this effect has been made, as the governor has given out no statement with re- gard to the naming of Mobile sheriff, but persons in close touch with the situation are understood to have been given information that Captain Schartz holds the inside track anyway, at the present time.

GERMANS PREFER
 MOTOR VESSELS
Four SteambOats Are Be- ing Constructed At
 Shipyards

BERLIN, Dec. 7.-In Germany the battle for supremacy between motor ves- sel and steam boat has been decided.
 Me for the motor" today is the slogan of German shipping men, as is proved by the orders given to German shipyards by German shipping firms during the last three months.
 Speaking in terms of tonnage, 95 per cent of these orders were placed for the construction of new steam boats.
 Germany already had achieved leader ship in the construction of motor yes sells. At present, 60 per cent of all vessels under construction in German shipyards are motor vessels. This is considerably higher percentage than the world average, which is 45 per cent The importance of the German percentage cannot be underrated. Ger man shipyards rank second in European construction with England in first place.
