BUILDING REGULATIONS
CASE IS POSTPONED
Judge Pugh Defers Hearing of
Arguments Until Next
Friday.

Judge Pughs decision in the hearing
of the motion to quash the information
against Francis III. Javins, charged with
violating certain provisions of the build
ing regulations, was not given today, as
was expected. Assistant Corporation
Counsel c. l.. Williams asked that the
hearing Of arguments in the motion be
deferred until next Friday. and the
court granted this further continuance.
This motion, if allowed by the court.

latiOns in the city. which We're formu-
lated by the Commissioners and have
been in force for many years
The motion to quash the information
charged with constructing wooden
shed on mis- premises without having first
obtained permit to do So was brought
into court last Monday by his attorneys.
Robert :. Miller and George c. Gertman.
Arguments on the motion were deferred
until today at the request of the govern
ment.
Attorneys Miller and Gertman said to-
day they were entirely ready to present
their arguments, and expressed con-
fidence that they would have no difficulty
in convincing the court that the build

ure of Congress to empower the Commits
sioners to enforce them by providing

Claim Power Is Provided.

1t is understood that the prosecution
will argue that the wording of the act
Of Congress Of June IA, 1873, which
gives the Commissioners power to
make the regulations. will be used as
evidence to show that the intent of
Congress was that penalties should be
provided. The act says that the Com
missioners shall have the power ito
make and enforce building regula-
tons"
The prosecution will contend, it is
understood, that the word enforce"
must be construed avs meaning that
power is granted the board of Com
nissioners to provide and enforce the
payment of penalties where any one is
convicted of infract1ons of the regula-
tions.
Attorneys for Mr.. Javins, it is under
stood, will answer this argument by a
decision of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, in which it was held
that nothing could be read into or i'm
piled by criminal statute.
Both Attorney Miller and Attorney
Gertman expressed regret that the hear
ing of the motion to quash was not held
today, and endeavored to have the hear
ing scheduled for an earlier date than
next Friday. but the prosecuting attorney,
Mr. Williams, insisted on that day.

Senator Works, author of the original
resolution, Endorsed Senator Hitchcock S
plan. He said his resolution had been
SO amended that if the Vice President or
Secretary of State should serve any
length of time. even one day, they would
be disqualified from further election.

phatic exception to his position.

country that a great principle cannot
pass this body unless three great partisan
leaders are recognized and cared for in
the legislation.
II am not in favor of any Limitation on
the right of the people to choose their
own executives, continued Senator
Clapp. but if such a principle is to be
established / regard ii as triffing with
the fundamental principles of govern
ment to recognize the personal equation
and exempt three gentlemen from the
operation of the constitutional amend
ment. One of these gentlemen l hold in
close friendship. yet in the interest of the
main l would not like to see a new prin-
ciple put into effect from the operation
of which he would be exempt.

wise, and if this limitation is to be
adopted. let us rise to the occasion and
apply it to every man..

Opposes Reference to individuals.

Senator Sutherland urged the adoption
of the Root amendment setting March 4,
1917, as the date for becoming President.
He said he wanted the fundamental prin-
ciple passed on without reference to in
dividuals."
This brought another protest from the
progressive ranks, Senator PoindeXter de-
claring that if there was any danger OF
a man '.perpetuating himself in office"
because of his ability and popularity
as the friends of the single term claimed.
that danger should be met by making
the resolution Immediately effective.
Senator Cummins favored and Senator
Lodge opposed the exemptions of Wilson,
Roosevelt and Taft.
IF the amendments are adopted" de-
clared Lodge, Mr.. Wilson would be In
a position to serve ten consecutive years.
That would be a contradiction of all that
this resolution is trying to do. LII the
principle is worth anything, it should not
start with the recognizing of a person
ality.
Senator Lodge declared it would be an
INEQUALITY to so amend the Constitu-
ton that Roosevelt might have a service
of thirteen years. Wilson ten years, or
Taft eight years. while all other men
would be limited to a service of six years.

Williams Voices Warning.

The significance of the attempt to
amend the resolution became apparent
when Senator Williams. democrat, de-
clared that the single-term proposal would
proba bly, be defeated by the states unless
Roosevelt were exempted from its pro-
visions.
those who oppose the amendment, said
Senator Williams, they would De able 10
say to the people:
They are after one mans scalp; he
received more than osn,ND9 votes of the
American people, and now they are try
ing to make him ineligible.
aft would be unWiSe for those who
favor this amendment TO handicap them
/ selves with the active anta2onism OF
those who could make this point against
it."
Decried by Cummins.

Col Roosevelt said Senator Cummins
today, in advocating the Works single
term amendment, but it has been very
busily urged throughout the United States
lately that we are legislating to make
Roosevelt ineligible. There Is no truth
in such statements. and l know they
must he a bhorrent to Col. Roosevelt.
The debate centered about the declara-
tion by Senator Williams tdem.) that UNI

ih,e for another term. the friends OF
Roosevelt and others might oppose ratifi-
cation of the constitutional amendments

"I think IL is of low plane to put this
debate on to intimate that the resolution
is being opposed because it might bar

GRANGERS ASK REFORMS.

A challenge to State Highway
Commissioner Bigelow to debate
questions of road building with VIII
liam T. Greasy, master of the State
Grange, was issued recently by the
Legislative committee of the state
grange which was in session last
week, discussing its legislative pro-
gram. The details and questions are
left to Messrs. Bigelow and Greasy to
arrange.
The committee also recommended
the following legislation to the gen.
eral assembly: Direct election OF
United States senators, a senatorial
preference primary; equalization OF
taxation by relieving real estate or
increase of state appropriations for
schools and roads; payment of the
minimum teachers salary for the

taxation of all classes of subjects
An honest initiative, referendum and
recall; a larger appropriation to
State college; prohibition of use OF
any coloring matter in oleomargar-
inc.
Regarding liquor legislation the
resolutions are as follows:
Since all parties are agreed on
the initiative and referendum a local
option bill should be passed. We
heartily second the approval by Gov,
Tener of law requiring clubs that
wish to dispense liquor to take H.
cense the same as hotels. And, fur
ther, we demand the passage of a
rigid anti-treating law. Peddling OF
liquors should be prohibited as COW
cred by house bill No and the
courts should fix the hours of open
ing and closing of bars.
Recommendations on national leg
islation were made as follows
Perfection of the parcels post; re-
moval of tariff on all articles con-
trolled by monopolies; a graduated
income tax; physical valuation oi
railroads; legislation to make manu-
facture of denatured alcohol posi-.
BILE; and conservation of timber and
mineral lands and water power. Op.
position was voiced to central bank
legislation; ship subsidy, federal
charters and shipment of liquor into
dry territory.

the theatregoers of Honesdale John
Hyams and Leila Mcintyre in the de-
lightful musical play 'The Girl
of My Dreams" This highly sue
cessful musical production which

New York City.

bachelors downfall before the
charms of demure little Quaker
girl. These roles will be those of
the principals, John Hyams and
Leila Mcintyre. The bachelor is
much of club man and has the
cynical attitude of his class toward
the feminine sex. The piece is chuck
full of catchy musical numbers, 'I'm
Ready to Quit and Be Good" effec-
lively rendered by Mr.. Hyams and
Miss McIntyre's delightful "DocSr
Tinkle Tinker" being the most pop
ular. The supporting company
numbers among the principals Alice
Hills, Francis Gaillard, Neil Burns,
Silvia frankie, Della Niven, Irving
Brooks, Frank McEwen, Adele Bou-
lais and Joseph Harris together
with a splendid male chorus and the
original De Luxe Pony Ballet. The
