WANTS THE PLACE CHANGED.
MT. Van Giesen Objects 60 Place of
Holding Election for Justice.

An interesting poins Is presented TO
Judge Ferrill for his decision In a petl.
ton filed yesterday by Frank s Van
Giesen. opposition candidate for justice
OF the peace In tho Second district. Mr
Van Giescn opposes Isaac u. Nathans
the present incumbent OF the Office.
IL appears that Judge Fcrdl. az the
instance OF Magistrate Nathans. has al
ready appointed a place Tor holding the
election for magistrate, Designating the
house al "a Bryan street. west, as this
place II is oontended on behalf Of AR
Van Giesen, that this designation IL i'm
proper and Illegal
lie says In his petition that there are
two places where Justices courts for
the district are holden. one. the Office
or Magistrate Nathans, at us Bryan
street, west. and the other the office Of
Magistrate c. Noble Jones. az g Hrs an
street. west MIR. Van Gleseu says that
one OF these places should DO named as
the place OF election and asks that the
ofiice OF Magistrate Jones be so designat-
ed by Judge FerrlL hearing OF the
case will be had tomorrow morning.
Tho law says that when there IL a
place Of holding Justices court Tot tho
district. the election Tor Justice shall be
held there. and when there is no place
Of holding court. but an election precinct.
that Il shall be- held IN the latter. In
case there In neither then the ordinary
Is authorized Co name a place within the
district az which the election shall be
held.
The friends OF Magistrate Nathan con-
tend that the condition contemplated in
the last clause OF the law obtains and
that the ordinary has already and prop
eriy performed his duty in the matter.
Under the provisions OF tho state law
which permits magistrates IN cities OF a
certain size 10 hold their courts outside
the districts for which they have been
elected. both the magistrates for the Sec
ond District do hold court outside their
district. The Offices Of Magistrate Jones
and Magistrate Nathans are both located
east of Barnard street. which Is the east
ern boundary OF the Second District
Starting with the assumption that all
elections are to be held normally in the
district or other division OF the county or
state for which officers are 90 be elected.
they say that no place exists within the
district at which the law directs the cleo
ton shall be held. In this condition OF
affairs. according 10 their contention at the
OF binary has acted and has designed a
place. within the district for holding the
election. They claim that his power IN
the premises n at and end and that he
can do no more.
IL Is certain that strong and ingenious
objections 20 the correctness or this post
ton aud this contention will be made at
the hearing before Judge Ferril The
election Tor magistrate OF the second DIS.
