Application for Writ Of
Certiorari Will Be Made
Tomorrow.
.FACAN MUCH DISTURBED
Street and Water Commiss
sioners Authorize Legal
Fight-He Would Like
to Veto Their Reso-
luton.

The courts will be called upon to pass
upon the validity of the so-called Single
Headed Street and Water Commission
act. This decision was reached .yester4
day afternoon by the Street and Wates
Board, which adopted this resolutions
Resolved, That Mr.. Allan L., Nc i
Derrnott be authorized and request- Il
ed to take such action as5isfnecess
sary to secure a judicial decision
upon the validity of Chapter 258' Of
the Laws of 1902.
The Board of Finance and the Mayor
have made it obligatory upon the part
of the people to vote on the question OF
accepting or rejecting the act at the en-
suing election. If the proposition is re-
jeeted the people will continue to elect
their own Water Board. If it is accepts
ed, the Mayor will have authority to ap-
point one Commissioner with all the pow
ers of the present Board, including the
power to override the Mayors veto. 4
Mr.. McDermott fears that an attempt
to vote on the ballots viii result in
markings which may cause many thou-
sands of votes to be thrown out as de-
fectiye. For this reason and because it
is believed that the act is undoubtedly
defective an effort will be made to secure
a judicial opinion before election, if pos
sible.
1t was said at the Mayors office this
morning that His Honor would probably
exercise his prerogative to veto the
Street and Water Boards resolution.
This will not put stop to the proceeding
of having the act tested.
Mr.. McDermett has served notice on
the city's law department that he will
make an application to Justice Collins at
9.45 o'clock tomorrow morning for writ
of certiorari to remove to the Supreme
Court for review the resolution of the
Board of Finance referring the Single
Headed Commission Act to the people for
their acceptance or rejection on election
day.
The notice was served today upon
Corporation Attorney John W. Queen.

Both Neal Ransom, of No. T3 Clifton

Hanks, New York private detective
was arrested in Jersey City on Monday
night as a pickpocket, and Paul >.
Wisch, representatives of the Thiel De
tective Service Company, when seen at
so declared.
Mr. Ransom told a reporter for ''The
News" that he knew of no reason, and
in fact there could be no reason why a
private detective should shadow him.
''Can you imagine any trouble, Mr..
Ransom?" he was asked.
Il have had no financial troubles, nei-
ther have had any personal difficulties,
he answered. ''As | said in the police
court on Monday morning, | saw this
fellow following me, suspected him as a
pickpocket, gave him the opportunity
thought he wanted, and when l found
my watch fob missing, handed the man
over to the police. My jewelry was
made that the part l took in the matter
was a plant is absurd. never saw the
fellow before in my life and could have
nothing against him.
SIS there any reason you can assign
for such a shadowing?
Mr.. Ransom hesitated a moment, and
then in suggestive way answered, II
your employer thought that another pa
per wanted you and that You might flop
over, and you We're valuable man with
valuable information in yonr possession,
he might have you watched. That's all
i have to say just now"

superintendent Wisch, Of the Thiel
Detective Bureau, when seen at his office
in the Broadway Maiden Lane Building,
was extremely reticent concerning the
case.
He finally admitted that he knew moth
ing of the case further than that ne had
himself taken Hanks, who was arrested
as pickpocket, to the office building,
No. 300 Broadway, where Ransom has
his office with the Mutual Reserve As
sociation, on Monday afternoon, when
and where he introduced him to another
detective employed by the agency, with
instructions to the latter to point out to
Hanks the man he was shadowing and
for Hanks to continue after and watch
the man.
NEVER SAW HIM.
81 never heard Ransom's name nor did
1 Sc him until Monday night in Police
Headquarters" said Wisch.
THE arrest of Hanks, and Ransom's
watch fob in his possession locks very
much like plant, a put up job, and !
wouldn't say that positively. There is
nothing more that 1 can say in the mat
ter. But you can rest assured that
Hanks and my company don't propose to
let the mater rest as it is.
