HABEAS WRITS SECURED
Counsel to Argue To-day for
Release of Paul and Weber.

Justice Giegerich issued two writs OF
habeas corpus yesterday directing war
den Fallon Of the Tombs TO produce In
the Supreme Court to-day Sam Paul
and Louis, alias Bridge" Weber, who
are held in the Rosenthal murder case.
Paul and Weber made their apphca-
tons to the court through their counsel
Hartford r. Marshall. in which they said
they were detained without due process
OF law, without commitment by any
court ION the alleged charge OF com
plicity in the alleged murder OF one
Herman Rosenthal." They contended that
their imprisonment was Illegal, contrary
to law and arbitrary, and that no suf-
fic.ent evidence or affidavit existed war
ranting their detention.
The signatures Of Paul and Weber 10
their respective petitions indicate that
they signed with some effort. In fact.
the writing OF each OF the gamblers looks
like that which schoolboy would make
who is Just learning to trace his name.
This is more apparent in the handwrit-
ing Of Paul.
II Justice Giegerich decides that tine
arrest and detention OF the two men IS
illegal he may at once order their dis
charge from custody. but such 4 move
would not prevent the police from OBJ
tanning warrants from q magistrate for
the immediate rearrest Of Paul and
Weber.

RIGHTS OF FIRE MARSHAL
Attorney General Says He Alone
Controls Electrical Installation.

Albany. July 2.-Attorney General Car
nody. IN ian opinion to-day, holds that the
State Fire Marshal has exclusive legal
Jurisdiction to name conditions. frame
specifications. or supervise the installa-
ton of electrical appliances in public or
private buildings. The opinion declares
that neither the New York State Board
Of Fire Underwriters nor any other I'M
official body has any such power.
This does not mean that the State
Board Of Fire Underwriters. or any other
similar corporation may not exercise the
powers of inspecting such electrical ap-
planes and certifying thereto for pur
poses Of insurance or otherwise. the opin-
ion continues, but merely that the state
law has vested In the fire marshal the
duty Of directing that buildings "be placed
in such condition as to lessen the danger
of fire, and has given him the right to
make orders accordingly"
