nickel was illegal Following the decision there
were riotous scenes when other passengers refused
10 pay more than five cents Beginning his de-

visions OF the railroad law. Justice GaynOr con-
tinueG:

For several DAYS after Justice Gaynors decision
the company gave out rebate checks with the sec
ond nickel The necessity Of cashing these checks
obviated by the reversal of Justice CTaynor's
decision.
Justice Gaynor's decision in the case OF Charles
Guden, who removed from the ofice OF Sheriff
OF Kings County in the spring of 1902. rendered
in granting application Of Guden for a peFemp-
tory writ Of mandamus TO compel Norman 5 Dixie.

him all the books and papers Of the Sherif's Office
Dixie had forciby taken possession OF the Ofice
after his appointment as Ciuden's successor. Jus
tice Gayuor's decision follows:
II is found that the act OF removal of the elected
Sheriff by the Governor was without Jurisdiction,
unconstitutional and void. and that he is still
Sheriff
month later the Appellate Division unanimously
decided thai Charles Guden had been removed
from the of1ce OF Sheriff CT Kings County by Gov
ernor Odel in a legal manner.
Justice GaynOr decided in August 1915. that an
ordinary bet between two friends was purely per
sonal matter. and not crime George Sterling had
been arrested the Salisbury golf links after he
had made a bet of a box of golf balls the out

The fact that 100000 gallons IF water lost

that there was lost daily. principally by leakage,
approximately 2o00no000 gallons out of the 550,OO0G0
gallons delivered in the five boroughs and that OF
the amount lost $50 000 gallons could be saved
by well known. simple and comparatively inexpen-
sive engineering methods.
PlaCards on the walls Of the committees Union.

waste was investigated I'm the second year Of the
Low administration with a view to checking it,
and that during the of the investigation it
was discovered that millions of gallons of city
water were being stolen outright Two cases we're
discovered where between 1OOOOOO and 100000 gall

These pacards show that at the beginning Of
the first Mcclellan administration the water in

nearly butted down of the partitions pa-
carded with the misdoings Of Tammany and re-

howls OF derision
Mr.. Johnson had protested earlier in the day be-
cause a sandwich man" had annoyed him by pa

show, announcing that Johnson was a city en-
pioye, and that his time curator of the Acorn

the platform. Interrupting the speaker Johnson
shouted:
What do you think of Hearst?"
Il Go not care to indulge in personalities in this
campaign replied Mr.. McAneny promptly. but
l think am free TO express my opinion of Mr
Hearsts act in running for Mayor with the fusion
ticket below him. II is the act of a public spirit
ed and is in the best interests of the city"
Isn't it a fact" Johnson asked. that Controller
Metz is an efficient official and that he is not a
Murphy man."
Yes" replied Mr.. McAneuy and isn't that the
reason Tammany Hall turned him down? Why. the
two typical Tammany officials in the Mcclellan
administration were both removed by Governor
Hughes-Haffen and Ahearn. This is the fairest
arraignment of Tammany Hall"
When the applause following Mr. McAnenys s
answer had died down the Tammany goat" was
making bee line for the exit and left the room
amid the jeers and boots Of the gathering.
Patrick Cotter, Assistant Corporation Counsel
undertook later to heckle Mr.. McAneny When
he had been disposed of much in the same manner
as Johnson one of the audience suggested that
heckleIs be prohibited because Justice GaynOr had
refused 10 answer questions

the chairman, "because We have the facts, and
