S ept ept the assignment in case It is given g him him and ma may even go so far as to vote for himself But Hut while they claim to be sure that at Mr 11 Crabb and Commissioner Herman Her IIer- man H. H Green will vote against the m mayor or when the public safety department depart- depart ment nent matter comes up but whether tho those men will vote for Mr 11 is another nother question r From Prom the standpoint of the opposition opposition tion lion the situation became still further complicated yesterday when Mr Mi- Scheid announced definitely th that t he will vote for fot tp mayor to head the public safety j. j 1 department Mayor Ferry will un- un vote for himself so Mr l Scheid's announcement ment means that if r lr Ir eslen Is to become commissioner r l public jc he must receive the otes of df r Mr Crabbe Mr Green GrE-en and c i lt j i f f Neither r Mr 11 Green nor Mr 11 Crabbe T commit himself f Mr 1 said L If when the time comes I it should hould sem seem e m my duty to take the public safety department and if f I T should head that it would not be because I Ir Ir r r anted to tal take e it but because I T felt sir t my mv duty to do so and I am not notI I 0 Afraid fraid of it r f If I do take public safety r I will ent enter en- en t ter r the department unhampered by an any promises I will be in a position So o act With entire Independence In that connection connection con eon I wi wish h to say that Sheriff John S. S Corless has been put in a wrong z light CORLESS SILENT I The Th Th impression ha bali hafe been allowed to toKO togo too KO go o abroad that the sheriff is trying to I dictate the appointment of the chief of police Sheriff Corless has never intimated intimated intimated inti inti- I mated anything of the kind to me and has never llever even eyen discussed it with me nor 1101 have he oi or any of his associates attempted to Influence me in the mattel mat- mat ter tel I am convinced however that for forthe forthe forthe the good of the city cily and count county of Salt Lake it is time this friction between between be be- tween hveen the police poUce and the sheriffs sheriff's departments departments departments de de- de- de ceased and if I should become become be be- come ome head of the department of ot public safety I would insist that the two departments departments departments de de- de- de work In harmony Each has its Hs province but th they y can cooperate In Ina ina a great many ways Mr 11 said he does not know whom he might name as chief of police In case he Is given that department By reason of the the situation situation in which Mr Crabbe and Mr find themselves themselves themselves them them- selves it is possible that they may not noth b h be in a position to vote for Mr In that event it is possible that the three might combine to vote Mr Scheid in as head of the public safety safely department and it is a 1 possibility that is IB receiving grave grae consideration There also remains the purely speculative possibility that Mr MI Crabbe or Mr Green may yet vote ote with the mayor and Mr Scheid t to keep the ma mayor or at atthe atthe the head of the public safety depart depart- ment POLICE CHIEF QUESTION Hardly secondary to and much In Involved Involved Involved In- In with the question of who is to be commissioner of public safety safet is the problem of ot who is to be chief of police Interest was added ad ed to that question during the latter part of the week when it became known that B.

I Park whom Mayor layor Ferry succeeded is isa a candidate not only receptive but butt active tive for chief of police t Should Mr be ma made e commissioner commis sion r of public safety it is known that Mr Grants Grant's name would receive erious serious consideration It Is even hinted Jn n some quarters that his hig name would M tl he le e the first one put before lefore the com corn by Mr s Joseph Sharp chief of tho the detective 4 department is said aid to be another pos- pos Mr 11 Nesle-n Nesle me mentioned I nay the names iiames of two other men whO wh I v are te being weighed in m the police bat bal I I They The Theare are A.
