The Attorney-General having decided that the appeal to the United States Supreme Court in the application for a writ of habeas corpus acted as a siay, the question as to the legal day upon which the murderer couid be executed arose, and it was the general opinion that {f the writ was dism.ssed Buchanan would have tu be resentenced by the court in which he was originally sen- tenced.

Sitting behind the big mahogany writ- ing table that Washington used during the stirring days of the country's early history, Mayor Strong heard eloquent words of warning against indorsing the measure that, reformers claim, would undo all the guod election, Lawyer Larocque, of the Committee of LXX., was the first speaker, He be- gan by saying that he appeared in be- half of the Committee of LXX, which was opposed to the bill which he would state later. Mr. La- rocque said that he opposed the bill, not on theory only, but as a result of ex: pertenc: The Police Board had been for many years bi-partisan, and the result was always a deal of some sort, i Bl-Partisan Means Blackmail. There was a continual dispute, Mr. Larocque declared, over patronage, and the result was finally the establishment of w market for the sale of appoint- ments, from patrolmen up, and that a continual system of blackmail had to be established by the men, who had to pay for thelr promotion, in order to recoup themselves. “Poiittes," salt Mr, Larocque, “should not enter into the Police Board,” and he then quoted from the platform of the LXX., the paragraph which asserts tha municipal affairs should be entirely di- Vorcea from polities Mr. Larocque gre warmed up. ‘I wish to say, Mr. measure in question is an absolute de- parture from the platforin upon which the citizens of New o¥rk eecied you last Fall. “If you sign the bill it will reflect on the party and the organizations that placed you where you are.

In it the points are made that the Bi-Partisan bill, violates one of the essential principles for which the h made in the recent municipal that in it the most Impor- pinciples of vlvil-service reform are violated, and that the bill shows on {ts face the effort upon the part of its framers to fasten more securely upon the Police Department a system of up- polntments and promotions by which it has suffered in the past, Mr. Nevins added that he represent- ed 5,000 good men, “This is the politi- cal opportunity of your life.” he sald, addressing the Mayor, “but with you or without you, this reform will go on." George L. Rives, of the City Club, and Chairman of the Committee of Ten, sald that he represented the element that helped most to elect Mayor Strong. Mr. Rives first appealed to the Mayor from a purely business stagdpoint. He way i ft “What are we going to get for eur work last Fall?” Mr. Rives read such portions of the bill as, in his opinion, were inimical to the proper administration of police affairs.
