Mount vernon In Darkness

MOUNT VERNON, n. Y, April IS
The bursting of a large gas main here
left the city in entire darkness owing
to the reduction of the pressure. The
fire alarms and the church bells are
being sounded to awaken every one to
reduce the danger of any one being
suffocated by gas entering their homes
through burners that were lighted but
which were eXtinguished by the reduc-
ton of the pressure.

Held to Be Final and Binding.

Such decision of the controller Is thus
made conclusive by the law. and my prede-
cessors have generally held that 1t is final
and binding. and have consequently de-
clined to pass upon such questions even
where the controller had not already duly
acted.
IF a claim is presented the question of
legality of payment is one exclusively for the
controller whose decision thereon is by
statute made final as to all executive Off
GERS. 1t has been repeatedly held by At
torneys General that the questions Of dis
bursements of money or payment of claims
so by law relegated to the controller the
Attorney General should not render opin-
ions especially in view of the fact that
If the matter is doubtful it may be referred
to the court of claims for authoritative de-
cision. (21 OPP. 500
1T Is true. that an exception has been
noted in the opinions of the Attorneys Cen
eral where a question Is of great import
ance and general application, and con-
flict of precedents might ensue, and espe-
ciaIly where the controller joins In the re-
quest and states that he will be guided by
the opinion of the Attorney General.
But here the controller has already act
ed and has rendered his decision upon due
reference by you of the real question in
yolved in it's practical aspect, and this
decision under the law must govern him in
determining the matter whenever 1t Is pre-
scented to him In his function of passing
upon accounts. unless indeed, he himself
SHOULD see fit to reconsider and revise or
reverse his ruling.

Last night the survivors acknowledged
that they knew that they saved Washing

president of the Associated Survivors of
the Sixth Corps, DIR. Chas. V. Petteys, who
presided over a supper which the Sixth
Corps Association gave to survivors or the

The supper came in the nature of sur
prise to most of those who attended it, but
was none the less a delightful affair. The
organization in the city is only about 1O0
strong but it's patriotism seems to be about
enough for a million. The 122d New York
belonged to the second division of the 9Th
Corps. and so in it's honor the association
planned a little supper which was given

men, is concentrated at Pak-Chea and
Anju, only small attachments being
left in southern Korea to maintain
communication.
st. Petersburg specieI says that
Russian division of $4,000 men from
southern Ussuri is advancing in two
columns through Korea. The main
column, coming along the east coast
road, reached Pulz-Chang, $50 miles
from the Tumen river and the Hank
ing column, consisting of cossacks
and mounted artillery, coming along
the valley of the Tumen river towards
its source. has reached the coast of
Lake Tadji. This column reports that
the Japanese are advancing north
from Gensan and that their advance
guard is encamped at Chong Ping.
It is probable. however, that none of
these reports can be accepted as au-
thentic.
