It seems to us that it is high time
the special judgeship matter between
the supreme court and the governor
was being settled. It is clear that
the supreme court only has the right
to appoint special judges, who are to
be commissioned by the governor,
and it seems there is or should be
some way of forcing him to carry out
the recommendations of the court.
Are the courts of the State to be alb
selutely under the control of Blease?

In refusing pardon to j. j..
Jones, the Branchville lawyer who
killed Abe Pearlstine, Gov. Blease
stated that the petition was prema-
ture and should never have been pre-
sented. Mrs. Pearlstine, widow of
the dead man, wrote letter to the
governor protesting against the par
don. Other people also wrote letters
for and against the pardon.

The governor is at least to be COM
mended for his refusal to pardon IN
the Jones and Avant cases.

The governor is working a right
good bluff in stating that he will
ask the dispensary commission to
summon Lawyer Fielder to testify.
He knows very we'll that Fielder is
too shrewd to testify before COM

whom the governor states are his

HamDlin Issues Statement Explaining
His Position.

term of court ordered to convene
here to-day for the purpose of hear
ing cases not requiring jury failed
to materialize on account of no judge
being commissioned to hold it,
AS has already been told in The
State, petition for this special term
Of court was circulated among the
members of the bar here a few weeks
ago by John H. Hamblin, member
of the Union bar. There never was
q meeting of the local bar associa-
ton called in this matter, but Mr..
Hamblin secured the signature of a
majority Of the attorneys here to the
petition asking for the special term
and requesting that Ernest Moore, OF
Lancaster, or some other man learn
ed in the law, be appointed to hold
this court.
Much Correspondence.
There has been considerable cor
respondence and telephone communl-
cation in regard to the appointment,
Mr.. Hamblin having it in charge, and
being very anxious to get the appoint
ment of a special judge made.
When the petition for the special
term was forwarded to the chief JUS
tice of the supreme court, Mr.. Hamb-
lin notified Gov. Blease, who inform
ed him in communications between
them that he would not appoit Mr..
Moore under any circumstances.
1t was on this assurance from the
governor that Mr.. Hamblin wrote the
letter relative to others who would
be acceptable as special Judge as
printed in The State.
In view of the statement made
by the governor, and his giving out
for publication the letters which ap-
peared in to-day's State, Mr.. Hamb-
lin made the following statement
this afternoon.
Mr.. Hamblin's Statement.
"Not caring to take part in news
paper controversy, have heretofore
refused to have anything to say as to
the appointment of a special judge
to hold an extra term of court for the
purpose of getting the equity docket
of our court somewhat cleared. I
now feel it my duty to make state
ment in the facts in the matter in
justice to myself and the members Of
the Union bar, with whom I have
acted in this matter.
''The equity docket of Union coun-
ty has for a long time been congest-
ed. Cases have been passed over at
regular terms of court from time to
time, until they have become almost
an eyesore to those of us who desire
to see our causes speeded. It seems
impossible to get relief through our
regular terms of court, so the mem
bers of the bar agreed upon an extra
term of court to relieve the con-
gestion.
"It was further agreed that Ern-
est Moore, of Lancaster, should be
recommended to hold this court, the
recommendation being without dis
sent from any member of the bar ap-
preached on the matter.
''The petition for such court and
the recommendation of Ernest Moore
to hold such court were accordingly
filed with the chief justice and the
governor notified of the recommen-
dation.

Talk Over Telephone.


'The governor, in conversation
over the telephone and in reply to
my letter informing him of the rec
ommendation, stated most emphati-
cally that he would not appoint
Ernest Moore to hold the court, and
mailed to me a list containing the
names of those whom he would ap-
point. AS stated, the need of the
court was urgent, and while the
members of the bar of this county
signing the petition for special
term of court were unanimous in the
recommendation of Mr.. Moore, yet,
in order to avoid conflict in the mat
ter and obtain the court, we were
willing OF withdraw our recommended
ton of Mr.. Moore and ask the ap-
pointment of some other suitable and
available lawyer to whom there
would be no objection. This, I un-
derstood to be done, and the name of
Mr.. Moore to be withdrawn. How
ever, as to the withdrawal, there
seems to have been some misunder-
standing between the chief justice
and ourselves, which it is not neces-
sary to state, as that misunderstand-
ing does not enter into this contro-
versy. The name of Mr.. Moore was
withdrawn for the reason, and only
reason, that the governor notified me
that he would not, under any circum-
stances, be appointed.
"My letter to the governor bear
| ing date March %, 1911, and pub
lished in The Columbia State of the
9th inst. was based upon the pre-
vious notification from Gov. Blease
to me that he would not appoint Mr..
Moore, which notification was given
to me by way of reply to my letter
bearing date of February 2S, 1911,
and also published in The State of
the 9th inst.
eff Gov. Blease had published all
of his letters to me and related our
conversations over the telephone, it
would have appeared, beyond any
doubt, that the sole and only reason
for Mr.. Moore's not opening court at
Union this morning is because Gov.

CONVERSION OF ALLEYS
INTO MINOR STREETS
Another Step in Plan to Get Rid
Of Insanitary
Buildings.

Another step in the eradication Of
densely populated courts and alleys in
the District was taken by the Commits
sioners today, when they ordered the
conversion into minor streets of alleys in
Hughes court, between 25th. 26th, | and
X streets northwest, and Navy place. be-
tween 9th. 7th, / and G streets south
east.
The plans call for the opening Of
Hughes court from / to X streets to a
width Of thirty feet. necessitating the re-
moval Of two houses on I street. and
Navy place. from I to G streets, necessi-
tating the removal of three buildings on
each thoroughfare.
Corporation Counsel Thomas has been
directed to institute the necessary con-
domination proceedings. 1t is said that
the buildings facing the courts will not be
demolished at present. although they
doubtless will be condemned later by the
board for the condemnation of insanitary
buildings
The action of the Commissioners is in
accordance with recommendation of the
board for the condemnation OF insanitary
buildings This board is engaged in an
endeavor to compel the removal of all In

TRUST COMPANY CONTESTS
FINDING OF TRIAL JURY
Contends That Verdict in Favor Of

Court No. in favor of DR.. Joseph ].
Kaveney for medical service rendered to
the late John L. Herrell. prominent
banker. was the result of chance and

ment of the twelve men, the American
Security and Trust Company, executor
of the Herrell estate, has filed motion
for a new trial.
The company claims the jury arrived
at the amount of the verdict in an .rreg-
ilar and illegal manner. 1t Is alleged in
an affidavit accompanying the motion
that one of the jurors stated that for
some time the jury was In hopeless dis
agreement as to the amount to be

agreed. it is claimed. that each should
name the amount Of money to be award
ed, that the total should be divided by

The executor also seeks new trial
on the ground that the verdict is I'M
