HUGHES GUSTS CHIEF
Governor Finds J. F
Ahearn Unfit For Man
haitian Presidency.

New York, Dec, 9.-Gov. Hughes to-
night removed from office Borough
President John F. Ahearn of Manhat-
tan. The removal is based on charges
filed with Gov. Hughes last summer
by the City club of New York, which
charges were based on the report of
Mayor McClellan's commissioner of &C
counts.
This office controls the important
element of patronage for Tammany
hall but it is expected in the executive
chamber that Charles T. Murphy Will
not lose this patronage. because Little
Tim" Sullivan can persuade the board
of aldermen to name Mr.. Murphy's
choice as Ahearn's successor as Dor
ough president
Ahearn's removal from office was IN
expected, aside from the fact that rep
resentatives of the City club conferred
with Gov. Hughes before formulating
the charges, which were filed later
Gov. Hughes then told them Mr.. Ahearn
could be removed upon practically the
same lines as laid down in Gov
Hughes memorandum of removal made
public tonight.
Neglect of Duty Charged.
In this memorandum. Gov. Hughes
does not detail specific violations of
duty but scores Mr.. Ahearn upon. the
broad ground that the bad condition of
the streets between last fall and spring
has not been due to any other cause
4 than the failure of the borough pres
+ ident to do his duty" and that borough
/ president permitted favored contrac-
/ tors to furnish supplies without the
competitive bidding through the bureau
Of public buildings and Offices. The
governor finds this bureau honey
combed with favoritism." Gov. Hughes
does not advert to the other charges
filed by the city blub.
The governor says: The condition
of things found to exist in the Dor
Iough presidents office cannot be charg-
ed simply to the neglect or misconduct
of employees. That neglect or miscon-
duct for the most part was made pos
sible because Of the want Of that ad-
ministrative care which it was the
plain duty Of the borough president
to exercise
Not Personally Corrupt.
Gov. Hughes says further in his
memorandum: 1t may also be noted
prelfninariIy. that it has not been al.
LEGGED nor proved that Mr.. Ahearn per.
sona1lv has been corrupt that is, i
has not been shown and it is no
Iclainled he converted public money o.
property to his own use or has per
scnany profted in an unlawful manner
lby his official conduct

ducklngs come out OF eggs. well a multi

The egg had been used in the Jewish Feast oS
the Passover and when the Christian festival OF
Easter was established its use retained with
an added meaning, for IL became the symbol OF
the Resurrection.
There have been many curious observances in
regard TO Easter, in which hares and eggs play an
important part. Many Of the old customs are dying
out. while new ones are coming IN, but the custom
Of wearing new clothes IS OF the old ones that
IS not likely to die out. This practice has been so
long and firmly established that in parts OF
the world there Is superstition that Il would
bring bad luck to neglect IL. Even IL there were
no Easter festival the coming of spring would prob-
ably always create in the human heart a longing
for fresh raiment.
