The attempt ve to the St. Mary's park fund the 000 originally appropriated was lost by an overwhelming vote and the amount ded among numerous funds jered to be more in need of it.

The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors was in sesslon ' yesterday morning and succeeded in getting through with considerable important work.

" === | timonial & | tions of -arrested John May, | backs of the chécks is the statement that JUSTICE TR FL[ET WILL NOT ACCEPT Supreme Court Posi- ‘tion at His Disposal. WELL MERITED COMPLIMENT ASSOCIATES WOULD ' REFUTE AN -ELECTION LIBEL. A High Sense of Honor Induces a | Declination of Any Office of an Appointive Nature. A rumor was freely circulated yester- day to the effect that Justice of the Supreme ‘Court William C. Van Fleet would probably-be appointed Supreme Court Commissioner to fill the vacancy caused by the death of 'Commissioner Isaac 8. Belcher. Members: of the Supreme’ Court who | were. approached on the subject inti- | mated ‘that if Judge Van Fleet would consent to accept the- appointment it would be given him by a unanimous vote. The members of the Supreme bench believe that such an act would | be a fitting testimonial of their appre- ciation of their fellow-Justice and a | well-timed refutation of the baseless slander that. was circulated regarding | him during the campaign for political | purposes. The circulation of the slan- | der was for no other object than to se- cure the defeat of his candidacy for | re-election to the position which he has | held with credit to himself during his term as Associate Justice. Such a tes- his appointment to the va- | cant Commissionership would be, in the opinion of his associates, ® proper ex- pression of their regard for him as a man and his integrity as a Judge. However kindly may be the inten- the Supreme Court Justices they will be doomed to disappointment, | as Judge Van Fleet will, under no con- | sideration, accept the appointment | should it be tendered him. He declares | that he will not now or at any future | time accept a position in any way con- nected with the Supreme Court that is not given him by a vote of the peo- ple. He feels that such a course is due to himself as well as to the people of the State, in view of the result of the late election. Such a delicacy of feeling is not often met with in a public officer, and | coming as it does at this particular | time, forms In itself a sufficient refuta- tion, if any were needed, of the base | libel of which he was made the innocent | victim. It is'scarcely possible that the ungenerous persons who aided in cir- culating the election story. believed it. The office of Commissioner of the Supreme Court is practically of life | tenure, and ag the salary attached to it | is-the same as that of an Associate | Supreme Justice, it is a position in all respects honorable and desfrable.
