Y. Beasts a Versatile Career— First Mayor to Come From “Tin Pan Alley” ‘New York, Jan. 2—()—Tammy Hall has presented to America’s largest city a new type of man to wear its mayoralty robes—James J. Walker, product of Greenwich Vil- lage, pianist, composer of popular songs and legislator. In the past, the city’s mayors have come from many walks of life, but this is the first time “Tin Pon Al- ley” has_seen one of its sons in the office. The new mayor boasts a versatile career. In Colonial times up to 1774, the mayor was selected by the governor of the province, and he was always a man of high standing. Until 1820, the appointing hoard of the state, headed by the governor, named the mayor, and from 1821 to 1829, when the charter was amended, the com- mon council chose him. After that the city made its se- lection by popular vote, but it was not until 1898, when consolidation with nearby communities was effec- ted, that the first mayor of Greater New York was elected. Father Came from Ireland Mayor Walker's father was an im- migrant-from Ireland, and as a dis- trict leader became a frjend of the jJate Charles F. Murphy, Tammany leader. “Bill” Walker, as he was known on the West Side, was an al- derman when “Jimmy” was a boy of seven. He twas a prosperous Jum- ber dealer. He later served two terms in the State Assembly. Young Walker attended La Salle College and then St. Francis Xavier, and later entered New York Law School where he studied three years. He had starred in school athletics und one season played semi-pro bas hall with a Hoboken team. For a while, he held a secret: position in an accounting conce jater he was a member of a corps y launching an ill-destined subway project to go under the East River to Brooklyn, then a separate mu- nie! Song writing was a hobby. His flair for the stage led Walker*to an association with members of “Tin Pan Alley,” many of whom he knows intimately today. He is a_ pianist of ability and for a while played the piano on the vaudeville stage. One of his lyrics was set to tune by Ernest Ball, the song composer, id achieved something of a hit as he song, “Will You Love Me in De- cember as You Do in May” Entered Assembly In 1909 Walker was elected to the Assem- bly at Alb; in 1909, taking the sume seat representing his home dis- 4, 1926 -THE BISMARCK TRIBUN. a ae Leh | This remarkable photograph shows the downtown district of Chicago at night.

In 1912, he married Janet Al- len, a childhood sweetheart. The same year he was admitted to the New York bar and became sucess- ful as a lawyer. For five years, Walker sat in the Assembly. In 1914, he was elected to the Senate, where from 1920 until his resignation to assume the may- oralty office he was leader of the Democratic forces. His legislative récord was identified on the side of Governor Smith, He has always been a partisan. He fought for Sunday baseball and movies, sponsored legalized boxing and the bill that hears his name, sup- ported 2.75 beer (afterward declared unconstitutional), voted for the res- olution to Congress asking modifi- cation of the Volstead Act to per- mit the use of beer and light wines under proper state restrictions, and helped es the law which forced the Ku Klux Klan to make public its membership and the laws bringing about reduction of 25 per cent in state income tax, workmen’s com- pensation, widows’ pensions and emergency rent laws. In his campaign speeches for the mayoralty, Walker promised to dig new subways, maintain the nickel subway fare and give the city a clean, economical adminstration. New York Democrats gave him a plurality of 100,000 votes over Mayor Hylan in the primary fight, and the city elected him over Frank D. Wax terman, Republican nominee, by a majority of approximately 400,000. SNAGGING OF MISSOURI RIVER IS UNDER WAY Work of “snagging” the . Missouri river from Standing Rock northward to Sanish was commenced Saturday by three crews of men under the su- pervision of Capt. W. I. Maulding of Pierre, 8. D., who has arrived here to direct the operations. Capt. Maulding plans to work one cre’ northward from Standing Rock an two crews out of. Bismarck, one working. southward to eventually meet the crew from Standing Rock, and the other working in the op- posit direction, Each crew will con- sist of seven or eight men. The men will headquarter in Standing Rock and Bismarck and will journey to and from their work by automobiles. The work consists of blasting out all rocks and trees in the river chan- nel which might interfere with water transportation, clearing the channel far enough below the’ low water level so that boats will not encounter any difficulties in negotiating the course. All overhanging trees along the shores will be eut down and project- ing rocks and stumps taken out. The work will continue at top speed just as long as the condition of the ice permits, which will probably be about six or eight weeks, Last Winter Work Done 5 Years Ago ‘This is the first time work of this kind “has been done in this vicinity for about five years, acéording to Capt. Maulding, although since the last winter work was done a snag boat has gone up and down the chan- nel two different summers, pulling out stumps and snags. Two years ago Capt. Maulding was in charge of: the work of riprapping the shores of the Missouri near here to protect the highway ani railroad bridges. Thjs work was done co- operatively by the U. S. Engingering department, the state highway de- tment and the Northern Pacific ilway eee pene: . Capt. Maulding was accompanied. here by: two men who will act. as’ foremen’ of two of the crews. “Local men are being employed for the County Judge C.

All three were to be equal partners. This barn was later sold, and it is alleged by plaintiffs that most of the property standing-in Mr. Hinckley’s name at the time of his death was secured with the proceeds of the sale of this barn and the profits from operation of the barn,-and that all the prop- erty mentioned was purchased by Mr. Hinckley for the partnership. dt is alleged that while Mr. Hinck- ley was in the hospital, shortly be- fore his death, he executed deeds to this property to the two daughters, Mrs.‘Towne and Mrs, Farrin, and the plaintiffs ask the court to set aside these deeds and to declaré that Mrs. Towne and Mrs. Farrin hold the; property in trust for Mrs. Hinckley, ‘Mr. Larpbert, and the estate of Mr. Hinckley in equal shares. | Wants Deeds Set Aside ‘The second il action is brought by Mrs. Hinckley against the” same defendants.
