most peculiar cases of insanity was
reported, affecting Leonard G
Schancke, an employe Of the cement
plant, who was sentenced to the
asylum at Cherokee. A few months
ago Schancke had his foot smashed
while at his work, and while the In
jury yielded readily to treatment the
patient complained Of pains In his
back. Later these pains were felt at
the back Of his head. Schancke re
covered and went to work. Monday
for some trivial act Of one of his chill
dren, Schancke gave the child severe
beating, using his fists and backing
and bruising its face seriously. The
strange conduct led his wife to think
something was wrong and had an IN
vestigation made.

Heinze Counsel Find another
Statute FaUoring Plea.

We've got them on the hip was the
attitude OF the United States Attorneys
Office yesterday. and the same feeling per
vaded the offices OF counsel for :. Au-
gustus Heinze regarding the proceedings
against the latter so far as the application
TO the court TO have the Indictment dis
missed was concerned
The government counsel believe that tbs
presence OF Iaynan as Special Assistant
Attorney General before the federal grand
jury was proper Counsel for Heinze be-
Heve otherwise. and ir was learned last
evening that more statutes will be brought
TO the attention OF the court supporting z
each side when the briefs are submitted to-
day.
One unearthed by counsel does not give
much comfort TO the prosecution This was
Section S6S OF the Revised Statutes. II fol-
lows:
The Attorney General shall. whenever
IN his opinion the public interest requires
il. employ and retain IN the name OF the
United States such attorneys and coun-
sellors-at-law as he may think necessary
TO assist the District Attorneys in the dis
charge OF their duties and shall stipulate
with such assistant attorneys and coun-
sellors the amount OF compensation and
shall have supervision OF their conduct and
proceedings
The foregoing and an act OF June 10. 1sSo.
were said TO be the only provisions OF Law
giving the Attorney General power 10 ap-
point assistants, and each specifies that
they shall be lawyers. The counsel for
Heinze declared that the statute quoted IN
court on Monday was not an appointtvs
one, that IL only directed the nature OF
the employment to which officers OF the
Department OF Justice may be assigned

4 MOVE ON WILLIS.
Gaynor Takes Step That May
Eliminate Him.

The method by which Mayor Gaynor
hopes 10 get rid Of William A. Willis. ex-
ecuttve secretary in his office at a salary
of 5000 year, came out yesterday. Mayor
Mcclellan had the place put in the classified
Civil Service list, and Mr.. Willis therefore
had hoped to retain it. But Mayor Gaynor
holds that the place is a confidential one
and did not take kindly 10 the idea of hav-
ing in his Office man who had been so
close TO his predecessor.
The Municipal Civil Service Commission
yesterday appointed a public hearing for
Friday. at 10 a. n, TO consider placing the
place of executive secretary TO the Mavor
on the exempt list. II is understood that
this action was taken at the request of the
Mayor. who found that Mr. Willis was NOT
inclined TO resign. The Mayor has not
given Mr.. Willis any work to do since the
first of the year, although he has been at
the office almost every day
Mr Willis became executive secretary
succeeding Frank O'Brien, who became
chief secretary, when John H. O'Brien, his
brother, was made Fire Commissioner. in
January, 1906 He had not been there long
when his salary was raised to 5000. the
same as that of the chief secretary. and if
was generally understood that he was
closer to the Mayor than Frank O'Brien.
The Civil Service Commission will also
consider the placing of two new places in
the office of the Borough President of The
Bronx in the exempt class, those of the
consulting engineer and chief engineer. of
the Bureau of Highways
The State Civil Service Commission will
have to pass on the exemption of all these
places
