When the police commtulon meet, n L-‘
Monday night to elect a aucceaaor to
former Police Captain Moon, there la a
"rong probability that a deadlock will
result on the queatlon of civil eervlce
end that no raptaln will he choien.
It la generally believed that the com
miulon will be found equally divided
°n the queatlon of whether the new
captain shajt.be elected for life under
eervlce rule., lining up four and four.
If a motion la put to elect a.captain
under civil aervlce and only four mem
ber. vote for It. civil aervlce will be
floored. And then If a motion la put to
ele.t under the old rulca and only four
vote for thla motion, the same situs-
i on would reault. There would bo no
election.
Thla would mean that the eenlor aer-
•eant, who la Sergeant Frank Whitley,
«'ould aerVe aa captain until the com-
miwionere, could gat, together and
agree.
The proposition aeema to be one of
•he moat complex with which the Com-
jnir-lon haa had to deal In aome time.
■f an election result., it la believed the
new captain will be one of the present
forp. of aergeanta. It la the general
impression that the commission will
not go outalde of-the department to

City Attorney Mayson some time ago
submitted a ruling, which. In effect,
declares there Is no civil service in the
department, and thla opinion will play
a part In the proceedings of Monday
ight. On request of one of the com-

nlshed him with a copy of the opinion.
The city council, U will be remembered,
censored the old hoard for Its action,
