RED HOT ARRAIGNMEN1 l
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE HELD UP
 TO PUBLIC VIEW.
Attorney Stevens Scathing References to Warren B. Hooker Before the New York Legislative
 Committee.

Albany. N Y, April 14.-Justice War ren B. Hooker, whose relations with postals affairs at Dunkirk and Fredo mia are the subject of a legislative in- quiry, was scathingly arraigned by Frank B. Stevens. one of the counsel Of the Bar Association which are as- sisting in the investigation, in his ar gument before the committee today.
 MT. Stevens. who began his summing up yesterday, completed his discussion of the constitutional phases of the case. arguing that the legislature had power to remove a justice for alleged acts of unfitness committed before the judicial function, was assumed.
 T shall assume" continued MT. Stevens, that any man who will re- sort to the lowest vices of a ward poli- tician Is morally unfit to be over his fellow man. l shall assume that any man who will defraud the United States Government, who is capable of low deceit. connlving and robbing the government of the United States, who will instruct the youth of the nation in crime and fraud and commit acts which must be suppressed from public view. is morally Snfit to sit on the bench"
 MT. Stevens cited the case of Frank r. Ball, who was appointed to posi-
  drew salary amounting to upwards of $2,50O from the government without performing any service No man will stand up and justify this case" said the counsel. If the Fredonia post office had been broken open by d bur glar at night. the loss to the govern ment would be the same. In this case 1t was a breach of trust"
 Taking up the cases of Maurice Hooker the Judges nephew. and the other persons appointed to the Fredo- mia postoff1ce at the request, 1t Is alleg- ed, of Hooker, Mir. Stevens said:
 You find the postofflce at Fredonia debauched. You find the government defrauded. You find the youth of Ere donia instructed In crime Maurice Hooker was taught on the entrance of his life to participate in a fraud. What do the teachers and pupils at the State Normal school see. They see a nephew of Supreme Court Justice by illicit means. by wrong means. by means which will not bear the light, get the government funds in his pocket. What is the use of the State maintaining normal schools when they become nothing less than school of thleves?'
 Mir. Stevens's argument, begun yes terday coupled the entire day today.
 The committee adjourned today until next Wednesday, when arguments for Justice Hooker will be resumed. A resolution will be presented to the As sembly probably Monday night, extend ing the time for the committee to re- port on the case until Thursday the 27th.

With con ditions favorable tonight for fast track, it is believed that the field which will face the barrier tomorrow will be one of the largest and most evenly matched that has ever contested for the first real racing honors of the Eastern season.
 That the Carter handicap field will be a large one and the race hard fought contest is evidenced by the fact that tonight twenty-one horses, among posted as starters, and only four of these are said to be doubtful. The race will be run as the fourth on the program. The starters, together with weights. probable jockeys and probable betting ods are as follows:
 Carter Handicap, seven furlongs:
