VOLUME 46...... c.cccecceececsesscecee veccee ceseee NO. 16,221, A Judge’s Side Interests. The admissions made on the witness stand by Judge Joseph M. Deuel show the variety of outside activities in which a Judge may engage. Judge Deuel was a City Magistrate from Jan. 1, 1895, to Déc; 34, #903, when he became a Justice of the Court of Special Sessions. During a part of that time he was also Vice-President and counsel of the Town Topics Publishing Company at a salary of $1,200 a year. “For past services rendered” he received an additional bonus of $1,000. ‘A salary of $1,800 yearly was paid him by the Ess Ess Publishing Company. He was a director of the Ess Ess Publishing Company, the Smart Set Publishing Company, the Publishers and Printers’ Realty Company and the Charles Zaller Company. He drew the charters for the Printers’ Company, the Zaller Com- ‘pany and the Clark Economical Power Company. ‘These various interests Judge Deuel seems not to have found incom- patible with his judicial position. The fact that under the city charter “no judge shall engage in any other business as a lawyer or otherwise” did not concern him, By an economical division of his time he prevented any conflict of his several occupations. “as a Judge on the bench he did not neglect his duty as counsel for Town Topics,” and similarly as coun- sel for Town Topics he did not slight his judicial duties. Mr. Jerome’s arraignment last fali of judges for “directing business affairs” is clearly remembered. By the irony of circumstances Mr. Jerome is now in court charged with the duty of representing the people in the case which introduces Jus- tice Devel as a plaintiff in the suit for criminal libel which has brought ut this interesting testimony. A Theatre-Manager Squad? By Magistrate Steinert’s decision, theatrical managers have the right to exclude from theatres men wearing the uniform of railway companies. By recent decisions of the Supreme Court, theatre managers are em- powered to refuse admission to persons in their judgment objectionable i prs: 3 a8, ms ann theatre manager goes on gaining in authority through judicial interpretation of his functions he will become a new force to be reckoned with, a czar within the proper limits.

The Nerve-Wrecking ‘Honk!’ Mr. Alfred Vanderbilt, having built a 250-horse power automobile within the racing weight limits, proposes to keep on manufacturing these machines, but only for his own use, not commercially. ‘That is one extreme of the nerve-wrecking “honk” machine. A 250- horse power machine is unfit for the public road. It is in itself useless. The auto exhibitions now open.in town show many auto trucks and delivery wagons. These are wholly useful. Horses will be nearly, per- haps quite, ruled out of the great 45,000,000-peopled New York of the future. ° Kidnapped in New York, SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS. | plied Tom. vara “But,” asked Jennie, pointing to<the Sr it esioat in love Xorker, with musical Geughter of an old |oasket, “how can this thing help Russian music master.
