DEAL TO CONTROL CITY COURTS.
Plan to Legislate Out OF ONCE Magistrates
and MuniCipal Judges.

ALBANY, April THE judiciary of New
York and Brooklyn is to be made the means
of a big deal At first it was proposed
simply to legislate out of Office the present
Police Court Magistrates and Municipal
Court Judges in Brooklyn and replace
them by men favored by the Tammany
and Kings county Republican organiza-
tions.
The scheme has assumed more important
pretensions than that, for it is now proposed
not only to legislate out of Office the Justices
In Brooklyn, but the City Magistrates in
Brooklyn and Manhattan, the Municipal
Court Judges in Brooklyn and Manhat-
tan and the City Court Judges in Manhat-
tan and also to appoint five additional
City Court Judges in that borough, and
thirty Supreme Court commissioners, who
are to be appointed from Manhattan and
Brook lvn to take the places of present
referees in the Supreme Court in case one
of the Laws Delay Commission bills now
pending in the Legis lature is PASSED.
The deal also includes the distribution of
these offices among the Republicans and
Tammany Hall organizations equally. Gov.
odell has approved of tn, the i, ,cheme and will
introduced
The successors OF the Judges and Magis-
trates are TO be elected at the fall election.
The number Of municipal court districts
is increased from fifteen to eighteen in
New York ard from five to eight in Brooklyn.
The districts have been 80 mapped out that
the Republicans expect TO elect the ma
jority Of the justices,
To-day the Senate Judiciary Committo G
reported favorably Senator Elsberg's bill
which practically legislates out of Office
the present Municipal Court Judges.
Senator Elsberg. also, has bin that
provides for an increase Of five additional
City Magistrates in New York, the Governor
to appoint the men to serve until their
successors are elected next fall.

consented to appoint three Democrats and
twoURepublicans on the understanding that
