CHARTER
I4fe FLOR Courts OF the New City Diving the
Drnfters Trouble.


The Draft Committee Of the Greater New
York Commission will hold another meeting
next Wednesday and pass finally on most of the
remaining chapters of the new city charter.
Among these chapters are those on boroughs
and local improvement boards, on the Board Of
Public improvements and its branches. on the
Tax, Fire, Parks. Health. and Building depart
ments, the city. civil, and Magistrates courts.
with q lot of miscellaneous details.
One Of the questions which has taxed the in
Kenuity of the charter drawers has been that
relating to the courts OF local and inferior juris-
diction; that Is, the courts not specially pro-
yided for In the Constitution. These include
the City Court. the Civil District and the City
Magistrates courts In this city, the Police and
justices Courts in Brooklyn and Long Island
City, and the Police justices and Justices OF the
Peace In the counties OF Richmond ana Queens.
They have civil and criminal jurisdiction and
they exercise many other functions. within the
limits OF towns. The only way they can, be
disposed OF IL by abolishing the towns OF Rich.
raond and Queens counties. Their abolition Will
necessitate the creation of some sort Of IA Court
OF Special Sessions for THESE counties, and
courts for the trial OF abandonment and has
tardy cases, for the constitutional division OF
tho city for judicial purposes into counties and
districts cannot be disturbed. ltIs the desire Of
the charter makers to provide q uniform sys-
tenn Of police courts for the whole city, 30 that
Police Justices. or City Magistrates a. they will
probably be called, may be assigned to any ono
dence, and to the end that the same mode Of
procedure shall obtain IN all the courts.
IL is said that the DRAFT Committee has had
the aid. of experts in this matter and that it has
devised a way out of all the difficulties. 1t Is
said that a consolidation viii be effected so that
the present Giiy. Magistrates at this city and
tho Polices Justices OF Brooklyn viii DO con-
t!nued In Office US part OF u board Of City

The wheelbarTows of which the greatest num-

BAI1ED IN THE MAxHATrAN CLUE.
Alleged Swindier Armistead Pleads Before
Justice Nc

Justice Nc
The Manhattan Club on Christmas night had
within Its walls a strange gathering. There
was n Justice of the Court OF General Sessions.
an Assistant District Attorney, a detective, n
woman. Il prisoner, and a friend of the prisoner.
A private room was used as a court In which
the prisoner was arraigned to plead to an in
dictment for grand larceny and to be released
on bail.
The Justice was Justice Mcmahon. the AS
sistant District Attorney George Gordon Bat
tie. tho detective John Gun, the woman Mrs.
Adah G. Sudwick, the prisoner Henry A. Ar
INSTEAD. and his friend ArmltaQe Matthews.
Tho proceeding was the result OF an agreement
by Tracy, Boardman d Plat. counsel for the
prisoner. with Justice Mcmahon and Mr.. Bat
tie. Armistead is charged with swlndling
Thomas Taylor. n farmer. OF Midway, Pa, out
of $40. 900.
Arinistead was the originator and incorpora-
tor of the Irrigation and Hydraulic Mining
Company. which had an office in tho Potter
building in Nassau street. lie was formerly in
the Land Onice in Washington. and there
learned about the lands owned by the Govern
ment. In 1893 Taylor, who had about Sb5, 900,
looked around for all Investment and came
across an attractive circular Issued by the Irri-
cation and Hydraulic Mining Company. The
prospectus set forth that the company owned
10000 acres Of mining land In New Mexico. and
had 200. 900 shares of stock to dispose of. 1t out
lined In most attractive form the investment.
Taylor entered into correspondence with Armi-
stead, and finally met him at tho Potter building.
Armlstead's arguments proved as fascinating
as the prospectus, and Taylor. sitter making u
trip to New Mexico, bought the 200. 900 shares
for $4,000. Then he went TO Now Mexico and
prospected, sinking, SO he says, $4,000. and he
hnaily learned that the land, instead OF being
the proDerty OF the Irrigation and Hydraulic
Mining COMPANY, belonged to the Government.
ATmistead said that he had been mistaken and
offered Taylor $500 and 5000 acres OF land in
Tennessee. Taylor asserts that Armistead
didn't own a single rood OF the Tennessee land.
On Wednesday OF last week Taylor came to
New York and went before the Grand Jury,
which found n true bill against Armistead. IL
was learned that Armistead was In Denver and
he was arrested by the Denver police, and De-
teGtiye Sergeant Cnff Of the District Attorneys
office was sent TO Denver with the reauisition
papers.
When 1t was learned that he would arrive In
town on Christmas Day. when all the courts ara
closed. Tracy, BoRrdman d. Plat. who had
been retained as counsel. got Justice Mcmahon
TO consent TO receive Armistead at the Man
haitian Club and accept his bail. When the
train arrived early In the evening, Assistant
District Attorney Battle was at the Grand
Central Station TO meet Cuff and his prisoner.
They drove to the Manhattan Club. where Mrs.
Sudwick and Mr.. Matthews, who were to furnish
the bond, were waiting, Armistead pleaded
mot guilty" and the Juatice fixed the hail at
$4,000. which Mrs. Sudwfok and NJ. Matthews
furnished.

Attorney Lothrop of Dayton asked
Attorney General Beatty his opinion
as to how much money candidate
can spend under the Purity of Elec
tons act. The Times prints the At
torney Generals reply in which he
directs attention to the fact that sec
ton of the Act, which covers u full
page in the Statutes, is but one SEN
tence with no full stop from the be-
ginning to the very end. In other
words when the author once got
ct lrted he did not know how to stop
and So put several separate provisions
into one single sentence. From a
careful reading of the section the At
torney General comes to this eonclu-
sion:
"That the expenses of the conduct
anil management Of ali election and
incidental expenses are intended to
be two separate and distinct allowa
BILE expenditures, and that for the
former. viz, public meetings, ETC., etc.
rs enumerated, a candidate may be
assessed or voluntarily contribute
legitmately the per centage OF his
first years salary, etc, etc., and may
in addition himself expend 800 fer
incidental expenses or by committee
5000 for the same, all Of which must
be sworn to and receipts taken or
vouchers filed for all sums expended,
either those paid for the conduct md
management or for incidental eX-
penses'.
"The reason. as take it, that COM
mittee can spend $500 more than the
candidate himself is that the commit
tee may send some candidates on
electloneering trips rs orators, or
otherwise, and in that way incur more
incidental expenses than the caudi-
date himself could who Ia limited to
500"
The Acknowledgement takes com.
mon sense view of the section re-
ferred to, which is as lohg as the Nor
al law, and while many differ from
that view, the language Of the statute
cannot be construed differently with
out violating the rules governing the
formation of sentences. However,
the opinion of the Attorney General,
whether sustained by the courts or
not, will relieve candidates who are
governed by his construction Of the
law from any intent to violate its
provisions.-Veno Journal.
