MATTER OF PRECEDENT.
Mayor of New York Tells Why lie
Did Not Lower the Flag.
Says II Was Not Done When Carnot or
Austrian Empress We're
Killed.

New York, Jan. 24-The flag on the
city hall is flying at peak as usual The
flag on the postofiice was at half-mast
as a mark of respect to the memory of
the dead queen.
Mayor Van Wyck explained the
reason why the flag on the city hall has
not been placed at half-mast. He said:
The flag on the city hall was not
ordered at half-mast because there is
no precedent for it, On the contrary,
the precedent in this and former ad-
ministrations has been against its
lowering on the death of any foreign
potentate or general. / found the flag
was not lowered when President Carnot
was assassinated, nor when the empress
of Austria was assassinated. Neither
was 1t placed at lAlf-mast on the death
of the emperor of Russia nor when King
Humbert was murdered.
you must remember that many peo-
pie come here and want the flag on the
city hall to be lowered for certain
reasons. When Joubert died had hun
dreds of letters requesting me to take
notice of 1t by placing the flag at half
mast. Almost all my personal friends
in the city asked this as favor Yet
/ did not accede to the request My
personal inclinations were strongly in
that direction, for / believed at that
time the British were numbering brave
people to rob them of their freedom and
their country"

ALL HOPE BURIED
Judge Wing Finally Gets the Federal
Judgeship For Keeps.
SEVERAL PROMINENT LAWYERS
Had Been Frequently Mentioned
For the Place, But 1t Is
Now Settled.

The last sad rites In the burial of a
lot of Canton hopes for the new district
judgeship were solemnized Wednesday
when the United States senate confirm
ed the appointment of Francis j. Wing,
of Cleveland, as federal Judge, whose
nomination had been sent to that body
by the president. Judge Wing is at
present on the common pleas bench in
Cuyahoga county, and his elevation
Will necessitate the appointment of a
successor by the governor of Ohio.
Judge George e. Baldwin was more
prominently mentioned for the place
than any other Cantonian, and there
are those who believe that had his
health not been impaired he would have
received the appointment, as 1t is urg-
ed that the president is under lasting
obligations to Mr.. Baldwin. There were
others that had lightning rods out and
who were in n receptive mood. but they
got little encouragement from the
powers that be. 1t is thought, however,
that had not Stark countys quota been
so well filed. that the judgeship would
have come to some one of her many
prominent attorneys. 1t is a notorious
fact that the Stark county bar proper
tionate to it's membership, is the strong
est in the state

Mr.. Albrecht shot at them on the run,
but he is not certain whether he hit the
robbers or not. The barking of his dog
aroused other ones and soon all the
neighbors armed with shotguns, revol-
vers. pitchforks and other weapons,
were out in search of the hen thieves
The robbers escaped. however. and 1t is
supposed they came toward Canton.
