In 1871 congress repealed the charters of both cities and adopted the territorial form of government. Under this system two governors serv- ed, appointed by the president-yiz-, Henry D. Cooke, brother of Jay Cooke. the banker, and Alexander R. Shepherd, who became known as Boss Shepherd. In 1874 congress abolished the territorial government and substi- tuted government by regents or com missioners appointed by the president.

MAYOR CANNOT
REVOKE LICENSE
Judge Ford Grants Injunction
in Flat Iron Saloon
Case.

City mayors have no authority TO
revoke saloon licenses in the opinion
of Judge Ford of the superior court
who granted Edward Keller a tenn
pOrary Injunction against Mayor Kel-
Ter Tuesday afternoon. The judge
held that the power TO grant and to
revoke liquor licenses lies wholly with
the county commissioners. The de-
tense signified its. intention of taking
an appeal TO the supreme court
The ruling was made in the hearing
on the temporary restraining order IN
the case of Edward Keller, admins
traitor of the estate OF William Bivans,
against Mayor Keller and other city
officials TO restrain them from enforc-
ing a revocation order. The saloon in
question is the Flat Iron" saloon at
los Lincoln way E., and the license
was revoked on the grounds that the
place was open on July 3, legal holi-
day.
a similar case, brought by John
Kronewetter. 314 :. Wells St. Misha-
waka, against Mayor Gaylor of Mish-
awaka was also set for hearing Tues
day afternoon Following the rul-
ing in the Keller case a change OF
venue TO the circuit court was taken
by City Attorney Ralph Jernegan of
Mishawaka.
Abatement Plea Lost.
The plea in abatement entered by
counsel for Mayor Keller and over
ruled by the court, held that the ad-
ministrator of the BiVans' estate was
not qualified TO enter action Tor the
reason that he had fled with the coun-
" auditor his election 10 continue the
license held by Bivans. 1t was also
held that he had no right TO bring
the action for the reason that the
Bivans' place had been sold by order
OF the circuit court 10 William X. Mey-
ers.
The court sustained the plaintiff in
the argument that the Proctor act of
1911 had set aside the cities and
towns act OF 1905. which had given
city councils discretionary powers in
the granting and the revocation OF
liquor licenses The court called at
tention 10 the fact that the commits
Sioners had recognized their rights
under the Proctor law. when on Mon
day hey had transferred the Flat
Iron saloon license from Keller 10
Meyers. in spite of the sact that a
revocation had been issued by the
mayor He also made reference TO the
mayors position, Oy saying that ne
believed that the mayor should be
satisfied with the powers given To
him by attending solely 10 the enforce
ment Of the law and leaving the mat
ter of license revocation 10 the coun-
" commissioners.
