SIGNING ms OFFICE.
WAS TOO MUCH FIGHTING
VIII Take Effect December Is. May
or VIII Appoint His Success
sor in IA Few Days.

The special session Of the board Of
city commissioners which convened
yesterday morning for the express
purpose Of investigating the charges
Of graft preferred against former
Water superintendent c. w, Collier
by Mayor Wooden, resulted In the re-"
sgnation Of Charles w. Conneely as
commissioner of water and sewers
and an indefinite postponement OF
the allegations against Collier,
Immediately after the meeting was
called to order Commissioer Connee-
ly arose and asked Mayor Wooden in
the presence of his fellow commits
sioners whether any charges OF any
kind had ever been filed against him
and IL he was at present under any
suspiclon by the members Of the
board. The mayor gave him the SAL
isfactory answer, "no" and Mr.. Con"
necly Immediately rendered his re-
signation to take effect December H.
In his resignation Mr., Connecly
gave as his reason for resisning, the
excuse that he has pressing business
matters that will henceforth requT"
all his time, making 1t impossible Tor
him to give proper attention To the
duties Of his office as water ana sew
cr commissioner. In an oral state
ment to the mayor and board of com
missioners he gave this reason ami
the additional explanation that the
lack of harmony" In the board or
commissioners prompted his resigna-
ton.
~ hope there will be no more iric'
ton in the city commission" conclud-
ed Mr.. Comedy. ''and that every
thing will go smoothly from now on.
Things have not been as harmonious
as they might have been" Mr.. Con-
neely expressed a deep interest IN
the success Of the administration OF
the city's affairs and wished the may
or and remaining commissioners god
speed in their work
The mayor had been approached
early in the morning by Mr.. Collier
who stated that q telegram relative

necessary for him to leave the city
at o'clock and requested that his
investigation be continued until some
time later This was agreed to by the
mayor and the commissioners at the
regular session an hour later.
The vacancy created by COnneely's
'esignation will be filled by an ap
pointment made by the mayor and
ratified by the commissioners. There
is much speculation as to who Will
fill the office but no intimation Is
forthcoming from the mayor or com"
missners as to who the new com
missioner will be. Mayor Wooden in
timated last might that the vacancy
will not be filled before the regular
session of the commission on Decem-
Der 10. as care will be made In the
selection Of man whose commercial
success and interest in the city viii
be a chief qualification.

to strive for something which anoth-

He quoted testimony of railroa l
men that that Is what the Unian Pa
cific and Southern Pacific were doing
by the purchase. Competition as 10
rates was not the only aim Of the 'aw,
he explained, but there was compcu-
Ion as to the character of the SER
