Miss Jessie r.. Mccain, who has been
missing from her home since DEFENDERS
il evidently expected back home before
Christmas, according to detectives who

teur detectives Offering suggestions as TO
where the girl could we found.

the word Columbia" In the corner of a
sofa cushion. The detective casually re-
marked about the usefulness OF such a
gift for Christmas. In reply the girl said
she had taken up the work of her sister
where she left off when she went away,
and hoped 10 get II finished so her sister
would be able to send il to l.. Wendell
Squires, the Columbia student who has
announced his intention Of marrying the
missing girl upon her return home.
When Miss Ethel was asked regarding
the significance of her remark yesterday

said il was perfectly ridiculous. The re-
ported clew from Babylon as to the pres
ence of the girl In that Long Island town
proved as frultless as all the rest.

A. S. GILBERT TO BE
SHERIFF'S COUNSEL
Legal Adviser of the Republican
County Committee Chosen by
Max S. Grifenhagen.

Abraham s. Gilbert, legal adviser or
the Republican County Committee and
chairman OF the law committee, will be
the counsel TO Sheriff Max s. Grifenhagen
when the latter enters his new office, on
January l. to succeed Sheriff Hamburger
The official announcement OF the APP
pointment Of Mr.. Gilbert has not yet
been made. and, I'm fact, Mr. Grifenhagen
will not publicly announce any appoint
ments TO his staff as Sheriff until Satur-
day. But IL is generally understood that
Mr. Gilbert will be selected, although
there have been many other names men
toned i'm connection with the office.
Mr.. Gilbert is one Of the best known or
the younger Republicans. I'm the cam
paign of 1912 he was a candidate OF his
party for justice of the Supreme Court
and polled the highest vote OF any candl-
date on the Republican ticket lie Is a
member Of the law firm Of Mayer & Gil
bert. Of which Judge julius NJ. Mayer,
now Of the United States District Court
was the senior member.
Because Of the great personal response
bility and liability OF the Sheriff OF New
York County the office Of counsel 10 the
Sheriff is one Of great Importance. In
his legal work he must look after the in
terests OF the Sheriff, and at the same
time protect the interests Of those who do
business with the office.
The Sheriff IS about the only remaining
constitutional officer who assumes this
personal responsibility, not only for his
i,t,, al 10 If his sub
ordlnates. and is heavily bonded.
Mr. Gilbert has been the personal coun-
self Of Sheriff elect Grlfenhagen for many
years, and his appointment therefore, will
he OF a personal character as we'll as a
recognition Of the attorneys standing in
the Republican party.

LONG ACRE co. MAY
COMPETE WITH EDISON
Court of Appeals Upholds
the Public Service
Commission.

Albany. Dec. l9.--The Court Of Appeals
to-day upheld the Public Service Com
mission OF the lst District in deciding
that the Long Acre Electric Light and
Power Company OF New York. had tho
right TO compete with the New York Edi-
son Company.
The commission originally denied the
application % the Long Acre company
10 issue securities for the construction
Of its plant. \ long legal battle ensued.
and finally the court upheld the commits
sion by deciding that the company could
not issue securities 10 construct its plant
until the commissioners granted permits
sion. Late the right 10 construct plant
was granted by the commission. and then
the Edison company. a competitor,
brought suit in an effort 10 annul the ac-
ton OF the commission.
With the hearing OF a few minor cases
this afternoon the Court of Appeals
closed the term. Il will rcconvene in
January Several important decisions, in
cludiug those OF the Becker and four gun
men cases. probably will be handed down
early in the new term.
The Long Acre Electric Light and Pow
or Company was organized in 1906. osten-
sibly to supply current to the theatre dis
trict Its chief sponsor was John G.
Sheehan. onetme Tammany leader and
Police Commissioner. In 1898 the Long
Acre company applied to the Public Ser
vice Commission for permission 10 issue
SO. OO0 IN bonds and 100000 in stock.
The application was denied, and the COM
pany took the fight into the courts.
The Appellate Division decided against
the commission. and subsequently ma
iorlty of the commission voted To allow
the company Ia issue 100000 In stock
and 100000 in bonds. The New York
Edison Company appealed from this de-
cision and when IL lost I'm the Appellate
Division Il took the case 10 the Court of
Appeals. On March last the Public Ser
vice Commission approved the construc-
ton of the plant of the Long Acre com
pany, and specified the manner in which
the proceeds from the sale of the stock
and bonds should he used.
