blem of the United States. Itgrows wild in the

MAYOR HOOPER DEFEATED.

directing the Mayor 20 swear him in.
The fight was begun last winter when
Mayor Hooper attempted 10 Introduce
some reform methods In the city gov
eminent through high-class appointments.
The City Council promptly rejected them,
and adopted an ordinance, taking the
appointing power away from the Mayor,
and vesting it in the two branches Of the
city Council. The Mayor vetoed the ordi-
nance, but it was passed over his CO.
lection Under this ruling the councilmen
instituted a test case by naming Captain
Creager for the important and weli-payin8
position Of city Collector. Mayor Hooper
refused 10 recognize the appointment. on
the ground that his veto was not overrid-
den by a three-foUrths vote.
In deciding this question Judge Richie
holds that three-fOurths Of the members
present and voting was sufficient to over
ride the veto. and that the law did not
mean three fOurths Of oil the members
Judge added that he had nothing 10 do
with the motives which actnsted the city

measures. but that the vote Of 10 to
