INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE
TURNS DOWN HOPPER
Third of County Committee
Leave Meeting, Charging
Tammany Was in Control.
GEHRING CALLED TRAITOR
Attitude of Those Close to
Hearst Indicated Editor
Will Not Be Displeased
with Action Taken.

Declaring that Tamnaany Hall had
csptured the party. one-third of the mem
hers walked out Of the meeting for or
sen,zation Of the independence League
county Committee at Arlington Hall last
night. Later James A. Donegan. leader
~ the % District. was elected chairman
NJ the committee for the ensuing year to
succeed John J. Hopper.
There was disorder from the minute
Mr. Hopper called for the nomination OF a
temporary chairman. II had been rumored
earlier in the day that enemies of the old
chairman were preparing TO defeat him
for reelection. lie came prepared for a
close fight. but when II became apparent
that the meeting was packed against him
he refused 10 allow his name TO be con-
sdered.
From the attitude of some OF those close
N William Randolph Hearst, II seemed
that perhaps he was not at all sorry 10
have Mr.. Hopper eliminated. The editor
has been angry at the chairman since he
made his fight for the Endorsement Of
controller Prendergast and Borough Pres
ident McAneny.
Men who had worked in the league since
,ts foundation declared they were through,
that Tammany Hall had obtained control
and the usefulness Of the organization
was al an end.
The friends OF Mr.. Hopper began 10
rrotest the minute Mr.. Donegan was
nominated for temporary chairman and
William I. Henchey for temporary secre-
tarv. Yelling started all over the hall II
grew worse when Donegan was placed In
nomination for permanent chairman.
Some one nominated Charles Z. Geh-
ring. who recently started movement
with Charles A Allen TO have some OF
the Tammany nominees substituted for

that Mr.. Hopper had gone on the fusion

that Mr. Hopper had been willing TO give

could get a Supreme Court nomination
for Charles A. Allen. Allen worked every

ALDERMEN CITY MASTERS
BY NEW COURT DECISION
Franchise, Leasing, Purchasing
and Selling Powers All in
Boards Hand.
HOME RULE LAW UPHELD
Justice Greenbaum, in Pension
Case, Says Authority Can Be
Taken from Estimate Board
and Sinking Fund.

The power Of the Board Of Aldermen
was greatly strengthened by n decision
handed down yesterday by Justice Green
! baum, UNFOLDING the constitutonality OF
the home rule law. while the power Of the
Board of Estimate and the Sinking Fund
Commission is relatively curtailed. II the
decision Of Justice Greenbaum stands on
appeal il means that the power 10 grant
franchises and 10 lease. purchase and sell
real estate will hereafter be vested with
the Board OF Aldermen. and no longer
with the Board OF Estimate and the Sink
ing Fund Commission.
The law was tested In an action brought
by Joseph O. Hammitt. representing the
Citizens Union. in the form of an inJunc-
tion proceeding 20 restrain the Board OF
Estimate from paying pensions to city
employees upon their retirement after
thirty years service. Hammitt contended
that the act giving that power had been
superseded by the home rule law. and
that the pension law Of 1911 was uncon-
stitutionaL The late Justice BischoH up
held the pension law. but the justice was
killed in an elevator accident before he
could sign his findings in the case.
II was the contention Of Hammitt that
because the home rule law gave 10 the
Board OF Aldermen the power 10 grant
pensions. taking that power from the
Board OF Estimate. the pension law OF
1911 was superseded, and that there no
longer existed statutory provision for
the payment Of pensions. Justice Green
baum said IL would be preposterous TO as
sumo that the Legislature intended TO re-
peal the pension law In enacting the home
rule law
The Board OF Estimate also attacked
the law. acting on the advice Of Corpora
ton Counsel Watson. The Board Of Es-
innate contcnded that the home rule
law applied particularly TO New York
city. and as such was special legislation
ard should have been submitted 10 the
Mayor for a hearing and approval before
II became a law. Justice Greenbaum said
in his decision that there is no Internal
evidence i'm the bill of any attempt on
the part OF the LEGISLATURE 10 evade or
override the constitution. The reasoning
Of the Corporation Counsel is not per
suaslve"
The court said that while the home rule
law gives the Board Of Aldermen the
right 70 pension city employees until the
board decides 10 exercise such function
tho power heretofore conferred I'm the pen
sion law Is effective. Thus the Board OF
Estimate and Sinking Fund Commission
may continue TO exercise their present
powers until the Board ~ Aldermen as
sumcs these powers The court said that
the act does not compel the city to exer-
else its broad power ~ granting pensions.
1T confcrs the right 70 exercise them.
and until exercised the limited powers are
In fun force and effect" said Justice
GrAenbaum. who added that any other
Interpretation would mean that the Leg
islature intended "to create a condition OF
chaos and paralysis Of existing laws af-
fecting tho municipality"

Such is the National Conservation
