decision.
1t follows that witnesses examined under THIS
present cannot be compelled TO pear witness
against themselves in respect of criminal oIence.
If any part of II had be construed TO the con-
trary that part only would be void:
The part which empowers the judge TO punish
witnesses for refusing to answer does hot apply 10
under his constitutional privilege. but only to sues
tons which he may be lawfully required to answer.
This Interpretation of the statute makes II con
stitutonal is also urged that If this statute be
valid the city officials who have been ordered 70
be examined witnesses in this proceeding shoulu
not be such at all but that thelr elai am
of privilege against discriminating themselves shoulu
be allowed in advance and exempt them from pelhs

eeeding. disclosed by the affidavit on when II
has been Instituted is to show such onclals 70 De
guilty OF criminal offences. and that' thereIore,
they could be asked nothing that would not tend 10

JUSTICE GAYNOR'S DECISION.
INVESTIGATION ASKED FOR BY FIVE AS
sEMBLYMEN WILL GO ON

Justice Gaynor. OF the Supreme Court, in denying
yesterday the motion of the lawyers of Mayor
Van wyck and the Ice Trust TO vacate the order
for the examination of the Mayor and other Tam
many ohicias who hold stock in the American
Ice Company gave an interesting judicial opinion
upon Section No. 1854 Of the charter, on the
strength of which investigation was asked Tor
by five members of the Municipal Council. The
points raised by counsel for the respondents were
that this section was unconstitutional, because
1T conferred a Justice non-judicial powers and
because IL was in contravention Of the Federal and
State Constitutions. which provide that a citizen
cannot be compelled TO testify against himself
Justice Gaynor in his decision said:

given in the matter by the Judge who conducts it,

the courts OF other States or foreign countries TO

Nor Is ne inSestigstiGn without judicial object,
one OF its main purposes is TO bring out facts
which may serve foundation for a taxpayers
or property. if that be too late to compel resti-
tuition IL is also claimed that this statute is
constitutional and void, because it compels wit
nesses TO give evidence which would tend con-
Wet them OF criminal offences. without providing
for a fun immunity TO them against prosecution
for such offences.
1t provides that the answers of n witness shall
not be used against them in criminal proceedings "
Prior 10 its passage 1t had been decided by our
highest court that this degree of immunity was
sufficient 10 do away with the constitutional priv
tlegs OF witness testify against himself
and 20 enable court or judge to require him TO So
testify.
This decision given under a statute contain.
ing precisely the words in this respect as
does the present statute. which have
e been drawn TO conform to such decision. If this
decision still the law should have require
the witnesses in this proceeding to testify to mat
tiers that would tncriminare them. II such a con
tngency should arise. But in the recent case OF
Counselman agt. Hitchcock II was held by the Su
preme Court OF the United States that the mere
immunity TO a witness of not having his testimony
used against him In a criminal prosecution was not
suh1cient 10 deprive him of his constitutional priv
