TELLS WHY POLICEMEN
WERE CALLED IN CASE

In defense to criticism made by
local authorities because the police
force was badly crippled yesterday
In order to try John O'Boyle as a
habitual drunkard, Assistant Prose-
cutor Joseph e. Stricken claims IL
was both necessary and well for the
number of Perth Amboy policemen
TO appear. He sets forth that
O'Boyie. who is commonly known as
Jack the Fiddler" was tried and
found guilty of being a hebitual
drunkard. for which the penalty Is
state prison. Sentence was sus-
oended and O'Boyle was given twen-
ty-four hours to get out of the state.
In order to convict on such a
charge, the state had to bring twelve
or thirteen men to court to testify
that they have seen the accused
drunk from time to time. AS
O'Boyle Is now barred from the state
under penalty of serving time In
state prison for his conviction as a
aabituai drunkard, MT. Stricken
concludes the Perth Amboy police
are rid OF him for some time to
come, at least. and therefore are
)othering with him. He considers 1t
was better for several of them to ap-
pear at one time to finally dispose
of the case, than to have the man
carry on as he has in the past and
almost continually be a source of
nuisance to them and the public.

FAIL TO AMEND
HENNESSY BILL
Assembly Refuses Every
County Equal Representation
speoia1 TO the EVENING NEWS

~
Trenton, March 11.--The PROPOSE
ton to make the proposed constitu-
ltional convention body compound
OF equal representations frem every
county In the state was decisiyely In
the assembly this afternoon, the vote
being 16 to 35. The question was
on the amendment to the Hennessy
constitutional convention bill pro-
posed by Assemblyman Marshall, of
Mercer, providing that the conven-
ton should be composed OF two dele
gates from each county. Mr.. Mar
shall strongly advocated his admen-
ment, basing his argument upon the
claim that IL the convention were
composed OF delegates elected by
population, as proposed In the Hen
messy bill,( the convention might
change the representation in the
state senate to population basis.
thus giving four or five big counties
in the state absolute mastery of
that braches of the legislature.
Assemblyman Hennessy stood
strenuously for his bill. He insistea
that the only real democratic basis
of representation was by population.
Assemblyman Richards, the Repub-
lican leader, spoke against any con-
vention. the Republican contention
being that the constitution should be
changed by regular amendments,
and not through convention.
When the roll was called the re-
dictionary Democrats and the Repub-
licans supported Mr.. Marshall, CIV
ing the sixteen votes in favor Of the
Marshall amendment. All the pro
gressive Democrats opposed 1t.
The Hennessy bill will come up
again later today on the question OF
action on other pending amend
ments.

THE GOVERNOR SAYS
HE CANNOT APPOINT
QUESTIONS IN REGARD TO sue.
CESSOR TO JUSTICE WOODS.
Governor Blease Quotes The COnstitu'
ton And Calls Attention to De-
fects in Amendments.

Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, April 2S.-Since the an
nouncement that Associate Justice c..
A. Woods, of the supreme court OF
South Carolina, would be made Unit
ed States judge, there has been consid-
erable speculation as to his successor
on the supreme bench Of this State,
and several have been mentioned for
the place.
Govrnor Blease takes the view that
the governor can not appoint and that
the vacancy must exist until the gen.
eral assembly elects. Governor Blease
further calls attention to defects in
the constitutional amendments pro-
viding for the fifth associate justice,
which defects are brought out by the
situation which the court will face in
case of the resignation of Justice
Woods.
The governor said:
Section S of Article of the consti-
tuition provides: ''No judge shall pre-
side at the trial of any cause in the
event of which he may be interested,
or when either of the parties shall be
connected with him by affinity or con-
sanguinity, within such degrees as
may be prescribed by law, or in which
he may have been counsel or have pre-
sided in any inferior court. In case
all or any of the justices of the su-
preme court shall be thus disqualified,
or be otherwise prevented from pre-
siding in any cause or causes, the
court or the justices thereof shall GER
tify the same to the governor of the
State" etc. Now, you will no.
notice this section provides, Gin case"
etc., shall be thus disqualified. ;"
Therefore, there is TO provision made
for filing a vacancy in the court in
case of death or resignation, the pro-
vision here being only as thus dis
qualified, which is clearly set out.
And you will notice it says, Gin case
all or any of the justices" After man
has resigned he is not justice, or
after he is dead he is not a justice.
Therefore, in my opinion, if Justice
Woods should resign the place made
vacant by his resignation could not be
filed by appointment even temporar-
ily or for any special case.
10 further strengthen this view, you
will notice that Section II of the same

Snacia1 10 The Herald and News.
Columbia, S. c., April 2S.-Attorney
General Thos. H. Peoples said TO-DAY
that he had determined not to run for
governor in the campaign next summer
Some time ago the attorney general
gave out a statement to the Colum-
bia correspondent of The News and
Courier in which it was stated that he
would be in the race. At that time
General Peoples thought that in all
probability he would enter the lists.
Since assuring the duties of attorney
general, however, he has had occasion
in the performance of his official du-
ties To enter several suits Of vital i'm
portance to the people of the State,
some of them involving questions af-
fectine not only the constitution OF
this State but the laws OF
tuition of the United Safes. He feels
that it is his duty to see these I'M
portant suits to the end, and he Will
probably be reelected attorney gen.
eral without opposition. His announc-
ed intention to be candidate to sue
ceed himself instead of running for
governor has given general satisfac-
ton. It was felt that he would be
strong candidate to succeed Governor
please. but in administration circles
and generally it is eelt that the course
determined upon by the attorney gen
eral is in the line of his duty and ne
is being congratulated upon it.

N4rticle provides: Cali vacancies in the
supreme court or inferior tribunals
shall be filled by election as herein
prescribed: Provided that if the un-
expired term does not exceed one year
such vacancy may be filled by execu-
tive appointment" Should Justice
Woods resign, the vacancy so caused
would not come within that provision.
Therefore, the governor cannot ap-
point
For these reasons, l am clearly OF
the opinion that the governor would
have no right to appoint any one to fill
the vacancy in case of the resignation
of Justice Woods; neither would he
have the right to appoint any one to
sit even temporarily in the vacancy so
caused.
1t seems, moreover, that the recent
amendments to the constitution when
the fifth justice was added did not go
far enough, and have left the matter
in a very unsatisfactory state. For in
stance, you will notice Section II OF
Article 5 provides, ~In all cases de-
cided by the supreme court the con-
currence of three of the justices shall
be necessary for a reversal Of the
judgment below, subject to the pro-
visions hereinafter prescribed" There
fore, you will see that If the court di-
vides now, three Of the justices can
reverse decision of the lower court.
But in case the court divides equally,
with only four justices upon the court,
what is the situation? The amendment
to the constitution of 1895 leaves out
the words, "But if the four justices
equally divide in opinion the judg-
ment below shall be affirmed
With the amendment striking out
these words, does an equally divided
court, under the amendment, affirm the
lower court? It certainly does not re-
verse it because it says three shall be
necessary to affirm. Therefore, it may
be necessary, which would be quite an
expense and inconvenience and when
ever there is divided court two Of the
justices shall exercise their right un-
der the constitution, which provides,
among other things, cor, whenever the
justices of said court, or any two
of them, desire it on any cause or ques-
ton so before. said court, the chief
Justice, or in his absence, the presiding
associate justice, shall call to the as
sistance Of the supreme court all OF
the judges of the circuit court"
Consequently it may be under these
various sections, necessary to call the
entire court en- banc in order to have
proper judicial decision in any case in
which the court should be divided, two
and two, until the general assembly
should fill the vacancy, in case of the
resignation of Justice Woods
It is clear that there is no provision
