VAN WYCK'S EYE on JEROME.
Hopes 10 Take Technical Advantage ana
Appoint Justices Succe sOr.

The possibility OF Mayor Van Wyck
having the power to appoin' successor
10 Justice Jerome upon the beach OF the
Court Of Special Sessions was subject OF
gossip In the City Hall yesterday. Under
the amended charter the Mayors term
does not expire until noon on Jan 1. Under
the Public Officers act Justice Jerome. 1t
was argued yesterday must qualify as
District Attorney before Jan l, by resign
ing his seat in the Special Sessions Court.
Should IL be held that Mir Jerome became
District Attorney one minute after mid
night, il would seem that Mayor Van Wyck
would have the appointment Of his sue
cessor, but the question was also raised
as to whether the Justice would legally be
District Attorney until he took the oath
of Office. II his term begins with the taxi
ing Of the oath at noon Of Jan. 1, II would
seem that this fact would Illustrate any
attempt on the part OF Van Wyck to name
the appontee TO AL Justice JerorGe' = seat.
LAWYERS and politicians were engaged
in looking up precedents yesterday TO settle
the knotty point. One precedent that was
pointed 20 "a having some bearing upon
the situation was that created in 1885.
Mayor Fdson. oontending that his term Of
Office expired at midnight on Dec. 81, 1854,
retired al that moment. William y. Kirk.
President OF the Board OF Aldermen. how
ever, upon advice given 20 him that the
term did not run out until noon OF Jan. I,
get himself up as acting Mayor for the
intervening twelve hours, and In that time
appointed Edward T. Wood 10 the Office OF
CORPORATION Counsel. The courts suhse-
ouentlv declared the appointment invalid
IL was rumored around the City Hall
yesterday that in the event of Van Wyck
having authority to select n successor TO
Justice Jerome, his choice would be Henry
W. Unger the defeated Tammany candi-
date for District Attorney.

J. +. Barnard May Lose His Bride and
His Liberty.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, July 29.-J, P,
Barnard, well known planter Of
Mount Zion, was arrested tonight on
the charge Of perjury.
The circumstances connected with
Barnard's arrest are interesting and
romantic. Bernard is SO years old.
Saturday he came to the city with
Florence Hamaker, girl only Is years
Of age, so the prosecuting witness
AYERS, and married her, making attida.
Wit that the girl was over Is
years OF age. Saturday night J. A..
Billions, grandfather and guardian Of
| The girl, went to Bernard's home took
the girl away and warned her husband
not to try to get her again. The young
lady, it is alleged, told her grandfather
she did not wish to marry Bernard,
but he had been so insistent that she
consented to marry him if he would not
make her live with him until she was
Is years old. She declared, so the
grandfather stated, that she hated the
man, but he had power over her nat
compelled her to obey him.
Billions engaged counsel to file bill
In the Chancery Court to annul the
marriage on the grounds of undue in
huence. He will bring suit against
Judge Morgan S.ewart for 5000 dam
ages for issuing license for a minor
to marry. He is the one who charges
Bernard with perjury.

Mississippi tbe foul blot placed upon her
escutcheon by the slayehoding repudiators
Of 1912 must be wiped from her fair fame,
and like a chaste and fair virgin escaping
from her raYisher she must be rehabllitated
with the unstalned garment Of purity and
honor by the "coloFed man and brother
now holding power in the negro legisla-
ture" to the tune Of million dollars In
subsidies from the vlrtuous, innocent and
much Injured hondholders.
As a native Of Old Mississippi, am proud
Of her ancient fame and record, both In her
moral and intellectual and social refine
ment and virtuous industries in peace, and
her heroic powers in war. | can not say 80
much for New Mississippi. / claim no ex-
emptions from the prejudices Of birth,
race or education, ] am no enemy Of the
negro race. | am no negrophOblst, yet
cordially accord TO the black man all the
social and civil rights he may desire where
he does not implgne upon the social and
civil rights Of the white man. | acquiesce
In all the political rights secured to him by
the constitution. | can not fatter his pride
by panderlng for his favor. Yet | shall be
slow to believe the negroes will ever vote
to pay one cent of the Union Bank bonds
now swelling up by compound interest .
over thirty million dollars, unless the
question Of recognition Of the bonds Is first
remtted to the people. Mr.. Blddle, or his
dupes, may be sharper In "Mobilarlzing'
the negro legislature than he was In his
Common grab but they will have a much
nicer time In convincing the voting mass of
negroes that they are morally and
equitaby bound to pay those bonds than
we old Wings with the aid Of the unhappy
"member for 1912" had In convincing the
people of Mississippi In 1912. Nous
verrons. OLD MISSISSIPPI.
