GERAGHTY CASE IN COURT
Fight On to Force His Being
Seated as Alderman.

Woburn, Mass, Dec 2s.-The election
TO the Board Of Aldermen of John e.
Geraghty, son-in-law of Amos Tuck
French, of New York, and the subsequent
ruling that he was ineligible TO serve
because he has lived here less than a
year, have caused such complications that
the Supreme Court was appealed to to-
day.
A petition for a writ OF mandamus
10 compel eight members OF the Board OF
Aldermen to show cause why they should
not sign a certificate Of election pre-
pared by the city clerk was filed by City
Solicitor Maloney, at the request of
Mayor Henchey.
The aldermen declined to sign because
the certificate declared Geraghty to have
been elected despite his alleged inellgi-
bilty.
The city solicitor contends that Ger
agility was legally elected and that the
question OF eligibility is a matter for
subsequent consideration. The failure Of
the aldermen TO sign the certificate, the
solicitor holds, makes the Mayor and
members-elect Of the city government in
eligible 10 take Office

Or. Goldwater Keeps Silent.

So far as could be learned Dr. { :.
Goldwater has given no definite answer
as TO whether he would take the Com
missionership Of Health.
The Commissionership Of Bridges IS
still open. 1t is definite that Commis-
sioner O'Keeffe will be displaced. +.
J. H. Kracke, former Naval Officer, IS
not out OF the running by any means,
although he is Republican district
leader. However. Mr.. Mitchell has a
Brooklyn engineer under most serious
consideration. Leon $. Moisseiff. an
assistant engineer in the department.

been suggested
Cabot Ward is slated for Park Com

place because his first choice was the
Fire Commissionership, which has gone

Mr.. Ward is :; Republican and Will
Jams Villains and r. A. G. Smith are
being charged TO the Republican party.
The organization is not likely TO get

but ought to get fair number Of
deputyships.
So far Mr.. Mitchell has given little
attention to the minor appointments.
but he may have the Deputy Commits

Washington Dec. 29-Manuel l.. QUE
zon, resident commissioner from the

from Manila with the declaration that
since the announcement of President
Wilson's Philippine policy the Filipinos
are more friendly toward the Americans
than ever and that they look to the
United States government as well as to
It's representatives in the Philippines as
their real benefactors
The policy OF President Wilson. as
outlined in his message delivered TO the
Filipino people ~ Governor General Har
rison, said Mr.. Quezon, has met with
the enthusiastic approval of the people
OF the islands especially the step giving
the natives control Of both branches OF
the Philippine Legislature. No wholesale
removal or any political appointment of
American officials has been made. The
few changes among the chiefs OF bureaus
have been made In furtherance Of the
policy Of the present administrator in
the islands.
The 'Filipinization' OF the service long
has be n promised to the Filipinos by the
former administration, and Governor
Harrison is Just redeemng that pledge.
The ciyil service regulations enacted by
the former administration are being
strictly adhered to.
The effect OF the new policy on busi-
ness, in so far as business can be affected
by a governmental policy. has been for
the good. one immediate result mas been
the improvement of the relations between
the Filipnos and the Americans. SO that
now there is cooperation among them

This Progressively Democratic combina-

Albany Assemblyman. who is reputed 10
he William Barnes's candidate for

which cannot help but make Republicans
realize the danger OF dissensions. OF

without Republican help, but a few dis
eruntled Republicans might cause the

can. realizing this, would have anything
10 do with such a scheme"
Mr. Hinman believes that the Republi-
cans will al. join in a caucus, and later
abide by the caucus choice. on the first
votes in the caucus ballots will ne cast
for each OF these FIVE candidates: Hin
man Albany; Sullivan. Chautauqua;

that ne comedies with the views Of Mr.

expressed the belief that the Albany

There are nineteen PTogressives in the
new Assembly and in spite of all the
talk concerning them their position on
the Speakership question seems 20 be
problematical II IS not known whether
they will caucus or not. and many herC
believe that the proposition TO join with
the Democrats was made because Of the
failure Of their plan TO unite With the IN
dependents OF both OF the old parties,
particularly those with Progressive in
dorsements. and select a non-partisan
candidate
in the mean time there are dissensions
among the Democrats over the question
OF who will be the Democratic leader.

who IS the logical candidate for the place,
il is said. has aroused the opposition of
many upstate Democrats because OF MS

Of Police Commissioner.
When il comes 10 the question Of a
