HAMBURGER AFTER THAW
Thinks His 1000 DEPUTIES Are Likely
to Catch Him.

Sheriff Hamburger asked the newspapers
last night to notify his 1000 special dep
uty sheriffs to be on the lookout for
Thaw.
the Sheriff said that while he did not
expect Thaw 10 come within his jurisdc-
ton. this was time OF the year when his
special deputies are scattered all over the
country on vacation, and it was just as
likely as not that one Of these might come
across the fugitive or learn OF his where
abouts. In such a contingency the orders
OF the Sheriff TO his subordinates are to
notify at once the local authorities where
the discovery is made.

Function Judicial.

The Attorney General, in dismissing the
contention that the Assembly was with
ont authority TO institute impeachment
proceedings at an extraordinary session
by reason Of the constitutional limitation
of consideration at such session to mat
ters specifically recommended by the
Governor. finds that this argument lis
clearly based upon a misrepresentation Of
the nature of the functions Of the Assem-
bly, when adopting and presenting the
articles. This Is in no sense legislative
function; 1t is judicial
Continuing, the opinion points out that
the power OF the Assembly TO present
articles OF impeachment is in no manner
connected with its powers as one Of the
bodies of the Legislature. II is the pre-
sentng branch Of the court for the trial
of impeachments It occupies the same
relative position to that court as the
grand jury to the Supreme Court and
county courts"
Attention is called to the fact that
the Constitution does not specifically
provide for the assemblage of the Court
of Appeals the Supreme Court and
other courts. but jurisdiction is grant
cd them and their composition de-
fined"
The Attorney General remarks. there
fore that II this lack Of dehniteness in
the Constitution applies TO the Assem-
bly,. at can with equal force be argued
that the Court Of Appeals. the Supreme
Court and the other courts can not ex-
ercise their functions because the Con-
stitution is silent in regard 10 the
method of converting these tribunals"
That IL is not necessary that the
Senate be in regular session in order
to try an impeachment in conjunction
with other members OF the court" says

With reference 10 the authority of the

LONDON IN SORROW.

London, March 1s.-The official world
at London and the general public were
startled. this evening. by terse mes
sage from Saloniki announcing the as
sassinaticn of the King of Greece.
Interest in the troubled Balkans has
been waning of late days, but the news
Of this wholly unexpected tragedy ere
ated an instant and immense sensation.
1t was not generally known that the
King of Greece was still remaining at
Saloniki, as nothing had been heard
Of his movements for several days.
Concern regarding the details OF the
ASA sination was intense, but as the
hours passed and no further news
reached London it became evident that
rigid censorship was being main
tanned by the army administration.
Tho strained relations between the
Greek and Bulgarian eontingents at
Salohilfi gave grounds for the fears
that the assassination of King George
might have been incident to clash
between the Allies. but a message re-
ceived, at midnight. dispelled such ap-
frehensions by identifying the assas
sin as a Greek degenerate. Another
dispatch referred to him as demented
The British farign office. Marlborough
House. where the Queen Mother Alex
andria, a sister of the dead King is
residing, and the Greek legation were
besieged by reporters. but no one at
thse places had any information except

O'clock
The King and Queen of England are
stopping at Windsor Castle, and the
first official confirmation of the trag-
edv came To the foreign Office in dis
patch from King Nicholas at Saloniki:
and wa transmitted to Windsor and
10 Marlborough House and then given
10 the public. This dispatch announced
that the King had been shot and died
IN haif an hour. Another telegram, re-
porting similarly, was received from
the Greek adminstra tor at Saloniki.
Earlier in the evening, the press mes
sages had been communicated to the
King and the Queens mother as a ru-
NOR. The greatest sympathy is felt for
Queen Alexandra. King George of
Greece was her favorite brother. She
only. recently, suffered another, al
though less tragic blow, in the death of
her brother King Frederick of Denmark.
The Princess Victoria broke the news
to her and, because of the uncertainty,
she was able to hope that the report was
not true. But it was soon confirmed by
an official dispatch. Queen Alexandra
is said to be Frustrated, and King George
and Queen Mary will come from " md
sor, tomorrow morning, to give her what
consolation they can.
Even if the King of Grceces close re-
lationship with the British royal fam
lily did not exist, the circumstances OF
his death would debar the court for a
time from social functions 1t is expect
