Fairawn People Did Not Seem Very
Anxious for a Fire Station,
The committee on Fire Department met
last night to receive proposals to sell land
to the city for an engine house site at
Fairlawn. The only one present from
that section was man named Merrick
who offered to sell a lot on Smithfeld
avenue for 10 cents foot. Another man
named Goff submitted In writing propo-
sal to sell two lots on the same plat. The
committee talked over matters and the
conversation drifted to the desirabili,y Of
the l.. B. Darling land on Smithfeld ave.
nue.. No action was taken.
The committee was little surprised at
the lack OF enthusiasm shown by the
Fairiawn people as 1t was expected there
would be large delegation present and a
large number Of proposals.
1t was voted to frame an ordinance and
recommend II to the City Council for
passage increasing the salaries OF firemen
the increase to go into effect December l.,
the beginning OF the city's fiscal year.

Unknown Man Killed
Last Night.
STRUCK BY EXPRESS TRAIN.
His Companion Escapes Death by a
Narrow Margin.

Michael Lally, 80 years old, OF Lowell,
and an unknown companion were struck
last night Mt Horizons Grove just below
Woodlawn, by the local express from
Boston, due In Providence at 10 30 o'clock.
They were taken To the Rhode Island hos
pital where the man whose name had not
been learned died. He received COM
pound fracture OF the scull.
Lally received a two-inch scalp wound
and a confusion of the right hip. His
injuries are not liable to prove fatal.
The story OF the accident, as told by
the trainmen, Conductor James Mcclure,
Engineer Charles Grady and Fireman
Frank Lark ham is to the effect that both
men were seen walking on the track, and
that in jumping from one track In order to
avoid the approaching train, which leaves
here for Boston at 1905 O'clock, they
both got In front OF the express going
the other way. Fireman Lark ham saw by
the glare OF the headlight the body OF a
man hurled ahead In front of the engine
and drop by the side OF the rails, but far
enough out to escape being run over. The
fireman went back to find the one man
that had been struck, and found the two
lying within few feet OF each other on
opposite sides of the rails. Lally was the
one tnat had been noticed by the firemen,
and he was struck In the hip. His scalp
wound was probably the result OF strik-
ing the rocky roadbed when he fell. The
other man, who was about 40 years old,
was lying face down upon the sleepers
outside the rails, with his skull crushed
In In frightful manner, and the five fin
gers OF his right hand completely severed.
The two men were brought In on cots
placed in the baggage car, and at the de-
pot were placed upon trucks where they
received the care OF the ambulance sur
geon, and the minlstration OF priest
who bad been summoned mt the request of
Lally. The latter says he does not know
the name OF nis unfortunate companion.

BROWN VS.. BROWN.
Counsel for Democrats Makes an Abb

Counsel for Democrats Makes an Able
Constitutional Argument
Arthur L. Brown, counsel for the Demo-
cratic majority OF the House OF Represen-
tatives in the Legislative fight, has pro-
pounded this supplementary question to
the Supreme Court.
ais the governor the sole judge of the
facts and law upon which his powers are
DEPENDENT"
Counsellor Brown contends In his srgu-
ment In support of the Democratic con-
tention for meeting OF the grand COM
mittee to elect Democratic State officers
that the court can step In when the Gov
ernor overreaches his powers.
Counsellor Brown says the arguments
on behalf of the hold-over Governor and
Senate cite many authorities to the effect
that an exercise OF discretion by the Gov
ernor will not be reviewed by the court.
These authorities do not touch the ques-
tion berore the court, which relate to the
existence Of powers, not to the manner In
which they may have been exercised.
No case has been or can be produced to
show that there is any occasion where the
question OF the existence of a constitu-
tional power cannot be considered by q
court of law.
Can the governor make conclusive find
ings as to the facts upon which his juris-
diction Is dependent so as to bind the
other department of government
Judge Bosworth, counsel for the Repub-
licans, inquired: "Why is not the same
law applicable to cases of adjournment as
to cases CT convening upon extraordinary
occasionsf"
says the answer is apparent, to determine
what IL an extraordinary occasion re-
quires the exercise of discretion. To de-
termine what is disagreement requires
no discretion.
Because of this distinction his authori-
ties are inspplicable.
The provisions which empower the Gov
ernor to convene the Legislature upon ex-
traordinary occasions or the President to
call out the militia, are grants OF original
and independent discretionary power,
The constitutional section providing
for adjournment is grant of contingent
discretionary powers; the contingency
being a single definite fact, the evidence
of which is in the public record, open to
the courts, and to the House OF Represen-
tatives, as well as to the Governor.
Councillor Browns argument is popu-
larly credited with being one OF the most
vital and exhaustive yet, for In 1t he has
answered ali the knotty points submitted
by the Republ blican constitutional lawyers
the office at the present time.
