NEW DISTRICTS UPHELD
Decision Of Justice Howard Con-
firms ReappOrti0nmcnt Act.

Albany. Aug 13.-Justice Howard of the Supreme
Court to-day upheld the consttutionality OF the
act of the last Legislature reapportoning the Sen
ate and Assembly districts of the state. The dec-
sion is rendered the applications of George E
Payne and Harry f. Perley. of Queens County and
Walter Pendleton, of Richmond County. for writ
d mandamus requiring the Secretary of State to
send out election notices under the reapportonment
OF 1874 The applicants held that the reapportion-
lnent act of 1905 unconstitutional because the
constitution of Queens and Richmond counties as
one Senate district gives that district population
'cDo IN excess Of the ratio. Another point raised
was that the combining of the two counties did NOT
create district of contiguous territory
