much stealth as possible. and going in and COM
ing out of the courthouse by the Livingston-st.
entrance. With one accord, however. these per-
sons denied that Mr.. Guden was in his office.
A Tribune reporter held conversation
through the glass panel In the door OF the Sher-
if's office with burly man who refused to give
his name.
us the Sheriff imp was asked.
NO"
Where is hep
AT his home in Dean-st."
1T is rumored that he is going to sleep here
all night"
That isn't so. There are no cots here. The
Sheriff is in bed at home"
Isn't it rather early to go to bed?'
Go away and don't bother me! with
growD.
What is going in there?"
"Some of just finishing up a little
work. We are going TO close up and go home
sOOn.''
The office was still lighted at late hour. At
Mr.. Guden's home. in Dean-st, it was said that
he at his office.
Election Commissioner Michael J. Dady
kept out of sight last night. He was finally
traced to the Ist Assembly District Republican
Club, in Schermerhorn- st, of which Mr.. Guden
is a member. One OF the members declared that
anybody. anyway and that it was shame the
newspaper men had to go around bothering peo-
pie at night Everybody in the clubhouse
seemed to be in an ugly mood On Thursday
Mr.. Dady declared that he not trying 10
influence the Governors decision in the Guden
case, and that he did not care how 10 came out.
Jacob Brenner, chairman Of the Kings County
Republican Executive Committee. said last night
that he believed the decision OF the Governor
would be satisfactory to the organizatio
'It has been desire from the very be-
ginning" he added that entire justice be done.
1t has never been our belief that the Governor
would render anything but a fair and impair
tial verdict in the case. The executive COM
mittee will acquiesce most heartily in his de-
Cision
There seemed to be nothing except praise
among Republicans in Brooklyn last night for
Governor OdelFs action The impression seemed
to prevail that IT would strengthen the party
immea surably. Independents were particularly
pleased. The appointment of Norman S. Dixie
will bring that class OF men into closer relations
with the organization than they have been for
some time. His acceptance of the office will
set example for others of his class.
Mr.. Dixie could not be seen last night, but IL
said that he would file his bond and make
a formal demand for the office to-day. In view
of the fact that the Governors action in remov
ing Guden cannot be stayed by mandamus
Brooklyn politicians were wondering last night
If Guden would be forcibly removed from the
office in case he refuses to vacate.

1T is a grand victory for truth and REFORM, Dis

Asked what classes of crime could be lncluded ~
such proceedings, the District Attorney answered.
He said that the decision would have a good
effect on jury. When a captain was tried Tor
allowing simply illegal resort to remain open
the jury would be likely to think that one place
might naturally be undesgnedy overlooked When
however a jury was shown that a captain had
allowed place after place to remain open tney
certainly would decide that the captain had talled
do his duty. The decision would amount 10
revolution in the law, he said.

When I came into the department I found that
IN order to give good service as had been given
In years past one Of two things must be done
either must return TO the old two platoon system
or must have authority TO appoint l605 additional
patrolmen with the necessary sergeants and
roundsmen and an appropriation of s. 10000 to pay
them. Not having the latter, and feeling nv re-
to do but to return to the two platoon system It
seems TO me 1t is question for the people to de-
police protection than they have had in the past
or whether they are willing TO pay s. 5O00 900 more
annually to secure protection as formerly, under
the three platoon system. Until Deople decide
to do the latter see no course for ne ~ i,ri'ie
than to adhere to the two platoon system.
