Thirteen appointments under the ex-
Mormon administration were sent TO the
city council last night and al were con-
firmed unanimously. Two hours Of eau
cusing during the afternoon and about
ten minutes in the council session suf-
feed TO put the list through.
Three communications from Mayor
Ezra Thompson covered the list one
communicative called Tor the removal
OF Police Chief Lynch, another. carried
the names of twelve appO1ntees, and the
third carried the name OF DR.. NJ. h

over the always Gentles' IN the ad-
T Illustration.
The Fourth ward is not represented in
the list and Raleigh, who IS appointed
as from the First, is said to be a tenn
DOrary reSiden+ there. 1t IS understood
he has merely rented a house in the
First and intends to move back TO his
old home in the Third in the near
future.
No Action on Bywater.
No action was taken in connection
with the offices of fire chief and super
intendent Of waterWorzs. 1t IS under
stood some of the American party mem
bers are still opposing the removal Of
Fire Chief ". II. Bywater. The sltua-
ton with reference to him is comphca-
ted further by the difficulty OF agree
ing on his successor in case he is re
moved.
The fight on superintendent Frank L
Hines of the waterwOrks department IS
based chiefly on the charge that he was
not an 'avowed and active American
party worker last fall. 1t is believed
his chances of remaining in office are
good, although ms resignation was pre-
\ pared and forwarded before Jan. /.
I Some Of the appOinteeS were cand1-
Mates on the American party ticket dur
Ang the last election, and others were
Unsuccessful candidates for nomination
on the ticket. With possibly two eXcep-
tons all were Republicans formerly.

Prussia, and before he held hlmseiI
forth as an engineer, and he refused 10
