QUESTION OF LEGALITY
Some Attorneys Assert Judge Kim
baIIS Decisions Are Void.

bnIIs Decisions Are Void.
Some of the lawyers yesterday found a
source Of argument In considering the
validity OF decisions given IN Police Court
by Judge Kimball, inasmuch as his com
mission as Judge expired on January u
at midnight
Among the attorneys were those who
contended that Judge Kimball has no legal
right to continue to try cases, and that
consequently decisions he hands down,
until he is reappointed or until some one
IS appointed in his place, will be null and
void. It was rumOred the question OF
legality would be raised by members of
the District bar.

two amendments designed to eliminate

Mr.. Gaines, who is chairman OF the

measure similar TO the one called up yes

/ We have all concluded that March

This measure will allow the present Prest

taken from the first Chief Executive
