DIVER SAVING HIS FIRE.
At the Proper Time, He Says, He
Will Answer Everything
Declines to Resign Now in the Face
of Charges.

Police Justic, Patrick OLIVER had
cleared away the small docket OF the
Morrisania Police Court this morning
and was sitting behind his tribune
smoking and tanning himself when an
Evening World" reporter called,
The Judge looked hot. but serene. his
heat being readily explained by the
furnace-like temperature of the court
room. but his serenity offered pretty
sharp contrast to the popular notion OF
what might be the mental state OF a
man charged with such grievous and
numerous malfeasances.
The reporter read him this morning
Worlds" editorial calling for his resig-
nation, and the Judge smiled and smiled
again, until 1t seemed that nothing but
fun, wit and humor could be found In
We'll Judge, just why don't you re-
sign" was asked.
Would you nsk public official to re-
sign because OF charges preferred by a
confessed crook and perjurer?" an
swered the Judge. meeting the query
with another.
Would you like to offer some de-
fense?"
"In the proper time and place I will
have something to say.
III should resign now. the very
newspapers that clamor for me to- do so
would declare It to be n practical con-
fession OF guilt"
His Honor's attention was then called
to the story about the Diver Clubs
chowder and the queer things they did,
but particularly the queer things they
said upon that occa sion.
II am not responsible for the actions
of the Oliver Association" replied the
Justice. II the members hold a
never held any such conversation with
Malone as has been reported"
The Judge then repeated with n con-
ndent smile that he was reserving his
for the proper occasion,
when he would blow his detractors
kite high ut one broadside.
