CHIEF GLOVER RELIEVED
OF HIS DUTIES SATUR
DAY AFTERNOON.
COOK NOW ACTING
Mayor Names Officer Major
Cook Acting Chief Has
Beei On Force Eight
Years.
Late Saturday afternoon Mayor
McClanahan formally suspended
Chief of Police Glover and appointed
Officer Major Cook acting chief.
The suspension order was handed
to the chief by -the Mayor himself,
and the affairs of the, department
including records, arms, etc, were
turned over to Acting . Chief Cook
who immediately took charge 4t
the police department of the city.
The grounds for suspension, as
stated in the Mayor's order were
failure on the part of the chief to
adequately enforce the law. The
mayor in appointing Major Cook
acting chief instructed him to com
municate the order to the members
of his force and lay before them
the matter of the importance of
enforcing the laws of the city
against all violators.
At the next meeting of the coun
cil it is probable the Mayor's action
will be communicated to that body
for approval or disapproval. It is
believed that the council will act
on the matter at ne of the October
meetings.
Acting Chief Cook has been a
member f th police force of the
city for the past eight years. On
previous occasions he has officiated
as chief of the department, and is
familiar with the procedure of the
office and the courts before which
offenders taken hi by his men come
for trial.
Mr. Glover was elected chief of
the .police department last,. January
succeeding Mr. JoHj Morton in that
position.' ft' is undecsFood he" is pre
paring to aPP 1 bis case to the
council and will ask a hearing be
fore that bodjr at an early date.
Yesterday Mr. Glover presented
his petition to Mayor McClanahan
asumg reinstatement, ana me By-r
