IRE CHIEF JOYNER OCT, 1ST Hot Contest Is ou to Suc ceed to the Posi tion. t*hlef \V. It. Joyner, flow mayor-elect, after 21 years of active service, will resign his position as head of the At lanta lire department October 1, as near to that date as convenient to the city council. After Thief Joyner resigns the city council ’will elect another chief. This will l»e done at the first session of the city fathers In October. “Who will be the neat chief?” Is the question. Assistant Thief llenry I*, llayne and Hosetuan William B. Tummlnga are the* two candidates for the position. Hojh candidates have been working since Thlet Joyner first annnounced that he would enter tlie mayoralty race. Both candidates claim the majo^ty of counctlmanlc votes. Many rumors are afloat as to which will get the position. Thief Joyner states that he will not throw his Influence either way and Is "mum” as to which will succeed him. H Is evident that the city ciumcll Is divided among Itself to no little degree. Which side will be the stronger can not be said. It Is claimed that what Is known In political circles as “the Eng lish faction” Is back of Tunuulngs, while Huy no Is backed by the opposi tion. This matter has. up to the present time, been exceedingly quiet, but from now on will be a lively political topic. Both inen have served the flre de partment In nearly every capacity up to chief. Mr. Hayne has held the posi tion 6f assistant chief for some time and Mr. Tummlnga was assistant t hief before he resigned several years ago. He re-entered the department ubout eight months ago as hoseman.

"The roof garden was closed Immedi ately and Stenaland spent the morning with us moralising on the various Chi cago banka.
