NEW COUNCIL
HOLDS CAUCUS
Men Who Are To Hold Appointive Po
sition* Are Slated—Night Po
liceman Retained.
The newly elected members of the
city council held a caucus last Sat
urday night and have mapped out the
organization for the coming year.
The council was found to be divided
four to three. The minority found
themselves without influence and
were powerless to change the slate
as adopted by the majority, consist
ing of Messrs. Boyle, King, Heckey
and Von Gunther, who have made the
following tentative slate:
For chief of police, W. Scott, the
present incumbent, at $150 per month.
For nightwatcbman, John Heckey,
a brother of Councilman Ross Heckey,
at $125 per month, who succeeds Ray
Larson, who has held the position for
four years.
For fire engineer, L. Graham, the
present incumbent, at $150 per month.
John Frame is slated for city mag
istrate and clerk of the council at a
salary of $35 a month.
Gene Ames for treasurer at $35 per
month, although one report has it
that the treasurer’s work will be add
ed to that of the fire engineer.
The city attorneyship is to be
held open awaiting the return of O I3.
Hubbard.
No health officer is to be appointed.
The appointment of Frame will
cause some dissatisfaction among the
majority party, as William Meals had
expected the appointment, having
been promised support by the “Frame
councilman.”
The promises of economy made by
the majority members of the council
prior to the election are not to be
carried out as far as the present plans
indicate, as the dropping of the
health officer saves but $300 per an
num, and the cut in wages of the
clerk and treasurer is only $15 a
month for each position.
It had been expected that the po
sition of night chief of police would
be dropped and that only one police
man be employed, as was the case
during the days when Frank Hoffman
carried the baton, but the necessity
for political plums made necessary
the retention of the office.
The council will meet tonight at
the city hall and the old council will
go out and the new one be organized.
ENGLAND AND FRANCE
BUY MUCH SHRAPNEL
WASHINGTON, April 19.—The ag
ents of the governments of France
and England have placed orders with
American manufacturers for $10,000,
000 worth of shrapnel. The order Is
a duplicate of that placed by the Rus
sian government. As all three na
tions have big plants manufacturing
shrapnel in their respective countries
the order, and especially its size,
caused surprise and indicates that the
Allies are preparing for a destruct
ive artillery campaign with the big
guns to break down the enemies’ line
instead of the desperate infantry
charges. At least that is the expla
nation given by military experts.
