RIOW To PiR7I BACKING.
Court Says Election Law Doesn't Require
Mayor to Act on ecOmmenda tiODS.

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn yesterday unanimously
sustained the decision of Justice Marean
denying the application OF James Kane
for writ compelling Mayor Gaynor to
reappont him to his former position as
the Democratic representative from
Brooklyn in the Board Of Election Com
missioners. The Mayor ignored the in
dorsement of Kane for reappointment
by the Democratic organization and
named j. Grafton MacNiahon in his place.
Kane. who has long been the Demo-
cratic leader in the Third Assembly dis
trict, in his application for the writ con-
tended that MacAinhons appointment
was invalid. ina smuch as he had not the
party Endorsement. The opinion OF the
Appellate Division. written by Justice
Woodward. holds that nowhere In the
election law is there provision requiring
the Mayor to make appointments from
the names recommended by the chairmen
of the Democratic and Republican county
committees
Justice Burr. while concuring in the
conclusion that Kane has no legal right
to n maridamus. filed an opinion dissent
ing from some OF Justice Woodward q
views and holding that the party recon-
mendation for Kane's appointment not
being approved by the Mayor the proper
procedure was for another name to be
recommended. and 20 on until the Mayor
and county committee could agree.
II is understood that Kane will now
abandon his fight and will not carry the
case to the Court Of Appeals.

LAKE NOHONk ~ DANGER.
CatskiII Forest Fires Threaten 10 Destroy
Cottage Colony.

PouoHKEEPslF. April 2s.- Famed by
breeze from the southeast forest fire
is sweeping over the foothills OF the lower
Catskill ranges toward Lake Mohonk
tonight and thousands Of dollars worth
Of property has been destroyed. There
is fear that unless the army Of fire fighters
is able TO head of the flames, or rain
comes the settlement at Lake Mohonk
will be damaged
The fire started last night in the woods
between Highland and New Paltz by
spark from locomotive on the Central
New England Railroad. Before o. clock
there was fierce fire sweeping up through
the valley and scores Of families remained
up all night to guard against the flames.
The family Of WILDER Stark. living on q
cross road nca~ liu:d, were saved by
girl. who rode up ON Il horse at midnight
and awoke the household The flames
had nearly reached the stark home The
family packed up their belongings and
made their way o,it of the path Of the fire.
The girl on the horse rode on to alarm
others in the district without telling her
name
Hundreds of men fought the flames ali
night and this morning thoir places were
taken by recruits from more distant
points All Of to-day the woodsmen and
farmers have made desperate battle
against the flames. but the thick carpet
Of pine needles which covers the ground
holds the fire. and even after the fighters
have passed on the flames break out anew
and burn az fiercely "a before.
There is great stretch Of pine trees
extending up the hillsides to the noun
tains that bank up against the exclusive
settlement at Lake Mohonk and there is
fear tonight that the flames will be car
ried in that direction. Should the fire
get into the woods on the mountainside
near Lake Mohonk it would be almost i'm
possible to save that resort.
