"Gives Hint That He Will Not Step In Till Deal Is Signed. Justice Davis in the Supreme Court this afternoon continued the injunc- tion issued on Tuesday by Justice liendrick restraining the Public Ser- vice Commission from signing the subway operating contracts. The de- alsion of Justice Davis was in the nature of a compromise looking to speed in eettling the dispute over the contracts, ag argu the matter permanent, close on Morgan J. O'Brien, Justice Dav ents before of making the suggested that the injun tion against the Public Service Comn fon be dissolved and an fasuaction issued in its stead against the Board of Estimate, ‘This would give Chairman Willcox a chance to sign the contracts before retiring from office, and would, Judge O'Brien asserted, protect the in- terests e public, inasmuch as the soard of Estimate must approve the contracts before they are ‘nally signed. SHEARN TURNS DOWN THE PROPOSAL OF O'BRIEN. Clarence J, Shearn oposed the aug- gestion. He adinitted that the chief point of the injunction was to restrain Mr. Willeox from aseting on the tracts, Mr. Shearn sald he was willing to trust Judge McCall, Willcox's suce cessor, to deal falrly with the p put he didn’t want Willcox to carr: his progray after his term of five had expired. Final Justice Davis suggested that counsel for both sides agree to submit the matter to the Appellate Division, This was agreeable to the lawyers.

FREDERICK, Md, Feb. 6—Released from the jail window bars to which he had been handcuffed while given fifteen lashes for wife beating, Robert Phillips, @ white man and city employee, the manacies still clinging to his hands, turned to Sheriff Fagan, who applied the lashes, and clasping Fagan's band, seid, “Much obliged, Shertft.” Phillips, who had been convicted of as- sault after brutally beating his wife, had been given his c! of sixty days in jail and @ fine of the whippiag post. He chose the latter. The court @ecreed that he be given 15 lashes, “Twenty-five dollars is @ whole lot of money and sixty days is a long time to spend in jal,” sald Phillips when asked his reasons for his choi “The law won't get anything out o: me unless it takes it out of my hide.” So it was taken out of his hide and the whipping ‘was administered by Sheriff Fagan, who was his friend, However, just before the whipping Phillips sent word to Judge Andi that he had changed his mind and would rather «0 to jail. The Court declined to change the senten ing that Phillips had chosen when he had the opportunity. ‘The third floor of the jail was se- lected as the place for the whipping. To the bars of @ window about the middle of the large room the prisoner had been fastened by two pairs of hand- cuffs to the bars. His hands had been} raised above his head, before any persons were admitted to the room, and when the fifty visitors walked into the apartment they found Phillips very nervous, grasping the grating over the window and shakii lke an aspen leaf. His undershirt had been him, Sheriff Fagan walked to the pris- oner with @ short plaited whip in hand, known as a stallion whip and sald: “I am now about to carry out the order of the court.
