Hogue contended that since
ne was city controller under
Shank, and Shank should have
continued as mayor, he, Hogue,
legally became mayor upon the
death last year of Shank.
When Slack, who had waited in
his office far past the lunch hour,
was told of the decision, he smiled,
but refused comment.
Many Moves Held Up
However, it is known that he has
been holding up many important
administration moves until assured
he was not to be thrown out of
office.
The administration has been un-
able to sell bonds for many impor-
tant Improvements because of the
cloud on Slack's title. With this
removed, the city hospital building,
the Shelby st. pavement, track ele-
vation and street widening move
ments are expected to be given new
impetus.
1t also is known that Slack for
months has contemplated inpor-
tant changes in city hall personnel,
but has withheld action because he
did not desire to alter the municipal
machine, only to have the city
thrown into a new uproar in case
Hcgue or Holmes were put in his
place.
WilIoughby Writes Decision
Justice Benjamin Willoughby
wrote the decision upholding Slack's
claim. Justice julius G. Travis dis
sented.
Hogue, reached at his farm near
Greenwood, said:
80 far as I'm concerned that
settles it. I am glad the decision
has been handed down, although
I think it should have been much
sooner"
The mayoralty tangle grew out OF
the custer of Duvall by city coun-
Gil last October after Duvall was
convicted of violating the corrupt
practices act in an alleged promise
of the privilege Of naming officials
to William H. Armitage.
NegIey Takes Office
While city council was declaring
Duvall's Office vacant Duvall sud-
denly resigned, permitting his wife,
who was city controller, to succeed
him. She named Holmes controller
and then resigned, attempting to
let him become mayor.
Claude E. Negley, council presi-
dent, became the acting mayor, al
though he and Holmes both sat in
the Office until Negley got a court
order temporarily setting Holmes
aside. In ten days the council
elected Slack as the permanent
mayor
Meanwhile, Holmes and Hogue
began their contesting suits in
county court.
The court upheld the decision Of
Circuit Judge Harry o. Chamberlin
IN turning down Hogue's claim.
AllC Oup1CillS OOuIJ u6ClSlO0 OF
today holds that Hogue's theory of
succession is wrong because he was
not in fact city controller at the
time died, even if his theory that
Shank continued to mayor because
Duvall might not legally have been
elected.
HOgue Out With Shank
The court held that within the
statutes" both Shank's and Hogue's
tenure of office ended Jan. 4, 1926,
when Shank turned over his Office
to William G. Buser, Duvall's ap-
pointee as city controller.
Before he could prosecute his
claim to the mayorship by success
sion to the mayorship to re-establish
himself as city controller by proving
that Buser illegally succeeded him,
the court held.

OPPOSE

Amateur boxing legislation for
the District of Columbia has re-
ceived a body blow from an adverse
report from the District Commits
sioners who claim there '.is no large
public sentiment in favor of regu-
lating amateur boxing here.
The Senate District Committee
held a hearing on the Watson. Up
dixie bill, which would permit adj
mission charges and the awarding
of prizes of small intrinsic value
for strictly amateur ring contests.
There il no prohibition at
the present time against col
leges, universities and others
i'm the District of Columbia from
staging boxing contests, pro-
Vided no admission Is charged"
said the report. "The proponents
of these various measures desire
to charge admission fees in or
der to cover the expense Of car.
rying on such contests"
1.-THE Commissioners believe that
if such contests are held for purely
athletic purposes the expenses could
be borne from private funds or
funds derived from other athletic
events where there is no question
as to pugilistic encounters. To
open the door to such exhibitions
on the basis that they are amateur
will, in the judgment OF the Com
missioners. lead to abuses even If
regulated by a commission such as
is proposed in the bill"
Those favoring the passage of
the bill include Senator Watson Of
Indiana, Representative Ralph E.
Updike, Of Indiana, Senator Edwards
of New Jersey, Deets Pickett, of
the Methodist Board OF Prohibition,
Temperance and Public Morals;
Charles L. Ornstein, of the A. A. u;
