to Daniel r. CohsIan took turn today
that threatens TO cause a serious split
snd bitterly antsgonize Mayor Gaynor
and controller Prendergast, whose re-
istions heretofore have been har-
monious.
controller Prcndergast cut loose from
the mayor. and in a statement charged
that the Cohalan warrant for $4,000
was completed in the present admins
ration and by City Chamberlain
Charles IL Hyde, the sppointee of Mayor
ffaynor.
This move on the part OF the con
trolIer was regarded in certain quar-
ters as q break between the mayor
and the head Of the finance depa TT
fnent, which meant that the mayor
would no longer control the board of
estimate. an important body that prac-
tically governs all appropriations for
public improvements.
Mayor Gaynor would not discuss the
cOntroller's statement He called up
City Chamberlaih Hyde for the records
as to the Cohalan warrant and check
The chamberlain replied that the war
rant and check were sent to the con-
troller's Office January 4. It was on
that day that Hyde assumed the duties
Of the office OF chamberlain.
Another complication was added by
the bringing Of a suit by a woman tax
payer against Mayor Gaynor, Chamber
lain HYDE and Cohalan for the restitu-
ton Of $4,000 Of the $4,000 paid to
Cohalan on the ground that all but s10.-

Opectdt DBPdIch 10 ne Ndu
NEW YORK. May At is believed
here that Francis ]. Heney has gone to
Europe in response to a summons from
former President Roosevelt. Heney
came across the country in the same
car with Nose Gunst about three weeks
ago. Gunst does not know where
Heney is. but another San Francisco
man is positive that he has gone to
Europe.
At the Waldorf-Astoria it is stated
that Heney left there April 81 without
leaving his address and asked that his
mail be held there until his return.
His name does not appear on the pas
senger list of any steamship that sailed
the twenty first.
Just what former President Roose-
welt. wants to talk with Heney about
is problematical, but it is probably
concerning the Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy.

An effort is being made to stir
up sentiment in favor of commut-
ing the sentence ofWalter Morri-
son, the Robson county negro
who is under sentence of death
for criminal assault upon a Croa-
tan woman, to life Imprisonment.
The plea is being made that this
should be done because, for sooth.
the execution of the sentence has
been delayed from time to time
on account of delay in securing
part of the apparatus necessary
for the execution. Which is all
tommyrot. If the criminal was
delicate, sensitive, hig hly-organ-
lied human being there might lie
some force to the plea that he
has been tortured by the sus-
pense, but under the circumstan-
ces it falls flat. We are not
bloodthirsty, but we believe that
the brute who criminally assaults
a weak woman richly deserves
death. This negro has been con
victed and sentenced, and the
fact that there has been delay ii
executing the sentence is in hi
favor; he is just that much aheat
and there is not the smalles1
probability that he has suffered
at all by reason of the delay.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 81, 1910.

Many were very much dlsap-
pointed yesterday that Governor
Kit hin could not be present at
the great rally held in Lumber
ton. 1t would have done his
heart good to see that crowd and
Robson county would have been
glad to have him. 1t was never
stated positively in The Robson
ian that the Governor would be
here; it was merely stated that
he had been invited; and the
hope was INDUCED to the last
that he might come. 1t is a pity,
too, that Congressman Goodwin,
who was confidently expected,
could not come. Barring the alb
sence of these two speakers there
was nothing to mar the day,
which was great in every way.
We wish every child in the coun-
ty and every parent could have
heard the splendid address of
Superintendent Joyner and that
every farmer could have heard
the address of Mr.. Knapp. These
men delivered messages that
were worth going miles to hear
And the other addresses were uI
to the mark. 1t was a notable
day. Lumberton enjoyed having
the people and we believe tina
all the people enjoyed being
