Changed Hands. -
Indianapolis, January 1. XTnder
the provisions of the new cities and

ed from John W. Holtzman to
Charles A. Bookwalter at noon to
day. This change of mayo re Avas
made in accordance with the election
held on November 7, 1005, and May
or Bookwalter is once more at the
head of the administration after an
absence of two years, to remain
there for a term of four years, the
period having been extended by the
last General Assembly.
Today's proceedings were just the
reverse of what they were a little
more than two years ago, when May
or Bookwalter' surrendered the reins
of 'government to John W. Holtzman.
There was verv little formality in the
ceremony. Mayor Bookwalter took
the oath of office several Aveeks ago
in the Police Court, on his birthday,
and for that reason he had only to
accept the responsibilities in an offi
cial way from the man who laid them
down.

idents of tliis. city for a short time,
but have made many warm friends
during their brief residence.
