tack Its Constitutionalitu

John B. stanchAeld was surprised to learn vas-
terday. when he appeared before Justice Crane IN
Brooklyn as counsel for the racetrack men that
the Hart-Asnew law. enacted in June, 1905 had
been repealed by an act OF the Legislature on
March II. 1909.
District Attorney Clarke kept the surprise to
himself until Mr.. Stanchfeld had given a preIinI-
nary outline OF the defence, in which he said the
consntutionality of the law would be attacked on
the ground that the extraordinary session OF the
Legislature called by Governor Hughes IN 1903 had
no right to enact the section under which he had
understood the men had been indicted Then the
District Attorney arose and informed the counsel
that the defendants had not been indicted under
Section S5I and that the Hart-Agnew law Was not
in existence when they were arrested, as the ra
enactment had been incorporated In the Penal Cod.
Mr. Clarke then Informed Mr.. Stanchheld that the
section OF the penal law prohibiting raeetrack
gambling was No. $50. Under this the defendants
were indicted. no said. and If this should be de-
clared unconstitutional the whole penal law OF

HEAR ELECTION CASES.
Civic alliance Wins Its Fight iR
BrOOkIun.

The first protest to be heard BY the Board OF
Elections yesterday that OF the Civic Alliance
against the use of it's name ana emOIena-the God
dess OF Justice-by some Brooklyn Democrats who
Endorsed their regular ticket. After affldavts had
been produced by Clarence ]. Shearn showing that
his organization had been the first to file the name
and emblem, the attorney for the Kings County
faction said that he had been advised by Senator
NcCarren to withdraw his clients claim If he
thought that the other party had prior rights The
withdrawal made conditional the Civic AL
lance being able to prove that its nominating pc
ttions absolutely regular and valid This the
Board of Elections subsequently admitted. so the
Alliance will obtain the place the ballot under
its own name.
This sudden change of front was probably caused
by the feeling that stealing another party's name
would not be Of much advantage when the opinions
of the voters on such transaction taken into
consideration. Also. it may have been caused by a
feeling that eventually the Hearst party was sure
TO win. The Democrats will choose another name
and emblem, and take an extra column on the
ballot
The Civic Alliance however. has not won its whole
fight yet There other Civic Alliance nominal
tons from Manhattan. The Bronx Queens and
Richmond. These will have to be disposed of be-
fore the Alliance has complete title to it's name
The fusion ticket OF the Borough Of The Bronx
was protested on the ground that Thomas w

Miller in nomination, after calling the convention
to order. This protest was promptly overruled.

ter OF routine with Thomas J. Carroll. patrolman Of

and owned by John NJ. Carroll. OF No. 1Ss Grand
street went dashing past him and directly in the
path OF a number Of women and children in the
street The team had taken fright at Leonard
street and Broadway, three blocks above and Mr..
Carroll could do nothing with the powerful pair.
Though still weak, the policeman did not waver
an instant. He stood poised the curb, waiting
. until the of horse came within reaching distance
4, when he made his spring.
The team was going SO swiftly that Carroll was
unable TO secure firm grip on the bride and was
dragged along with only hand the bit.
9 Gradually the weight OF the polcemans body be-
gan 10 have its effect on the team, and after
being dragged fun block Carroll succeeded in
p Dwerving them from the path of a number of chill
dren crossing Broadway. In doing this, however.
the plucky policeman forced TO turn the horses
1nto a pillar of the Broadway elevated road, al
though he realized the risk he was running Of
being crushed.
With final desperate leap the maddened horses
threw themselves against the stout iron pole, jam
, ming Carroll against IL and rendering him uncon-
scious Two citizens jumped into the street at this
moment and brought the team to a standstill, and
= then somebody sent in 3 call for an ambulance,
bringing DR.. Bristol. of ST. Catharines Hospital
The physician rushed Carroll 10 the hospital. where
he was finally brought around. not much worse for
