Conner was chosen lc« of the city of Macon Ing two years at the ses- Ity council last night. All council voted for him In except Alderman Damour, on-elect Leon Dure, who /as absent Alderman Damour pre- emed the name of Arthur Golden and oted for him. Mr. Conner was nominated for the chiefs place by Alderman Massee. He merely presented the name with no remarks. A second was found m Al derman Jones. While nomination* were still open Alderman Damour arose and stated that he wished to place before council the name of Mr. Golden. In doing this he spoke in very high praise of him. “He may not have his college educa tion and he may not be familiar with the Lord's Prayer.’’ said the speaker, “but he is as brave as a lion and as fearless as any man on the Macon force.” “He knOws 'Now I Lay Me Down to Bleep."’ replied Alderman Jones. When the vote was taken all mem bers of council coat their ballots for G. C. Conner except Alderman Da mour and the absent member. Mayor Smith then' presented Ihe name of Chief Murphy to fill the va cancy in lieutenant's place by the promotion of Mr. Conner. He also pre sented the names of Lieutenants Grace nnd Mosely In their places. Then the names of alt the men on the force were read by the mayor for con firmation. There was not a single change reeommendedd In the present force. Alderman Chestney asked at this point if there was any objection to the list as submitted by the mayor for confirmation. He said if there was none, every member of council should forever thereafter hold his peace. Alderman Jones arose and said: “I suppose these remarks are directed at me. I know* something should be done in order to secure good service on the police force. Something simi lar to a civil service examination should be held and the men should be subjected to this before coming on the force. If not this, then some oth er method shuld be pursued.. I don’t know the names of the tpen who are sometimes negligent, but I can see instances of the failure of some of the members to do their duty. A railroad was torn up In this town the other night nnd no member of the force found the men who did the work. There was a man on the beat, I believe.'* When Alderman Chestney again arose nnd insisted that the Investiga tion should be made nnd the men who had come short ns to duty should be made known, there was an interfer ence by a motion for the confirmation of the appointments to the positions on the force. All appointments were confirmed. Reeord of Chief Murphy. Alderman McKenna then presented s resolution relative to the record of Chief Murphy. He spoke in very high praise of the retiring official and then read the resolution, which was as fol lows: Wherrns. Chief Patrick Murphy has rendered the city of Macon thirty-four years of faithful and efficient service ss s patrolman, lieutenant, and chief, And does not desire to stand for re- election. be It Resolved. That the mayor and council ainesrely appreciate the long and valuable service rendered the po lios department and the city of Ma con. and be It further Resolved, That hi* honor, the may or. be authorised and directed to pre sent to Chief Murphy on behalf of the mayor nnd council a gold headed cane as a token of the respect and esteem In which he Is held by us." In presenting* the resolutions Aider- man McKenna also spoke of the new chief in terms of praise. The mayor. In presenting the resolution for the vote of council, asked that every mem ber rise ns he voted and this was done. All fnember* voted for the adoption of Ihe resolution.
