ing that he has the right to make the
appointment. :,
Both will appear in the Municipal
Court at 8 o'clock this morning. So will
Samuel s. Adams, the appointee Of City
Council, who qualified before Magis-
trate Sasse on Saturday. In all proba-
bility Mr.. Garrett will be permitted by
Judge Churchman to prosecute the eases

but It is probable no formal recognition
will be accorded Mr.. Garrett.
Mr.. Adams will have no part In the
prosecutions us Mr.. Reinhardt is de-
termined to do the Municipal Court work
himself rather than recognize the ap-
pointee Of Council. Mr.. Garrett will as
sist him in the other work pertaining to
