New Emblem for Republicans,
but Old Eagle Hangs On
Ballot Box, Quill Pen and Sum
beams Are Sacrificed to Fit Re-
duced Space Under New Law.

Republicans will vote under new EN-
blem in this state this fall. When they
go into the voting booth they will look
in vain for the old familiar ballot box.
.surmounted by an eagle holding quiz
pen and backed by sun rays. Undouot-
edlv il will be a shock to many. Inc
present emblem has been used continu-
ouslv since its adoption. in 1895, the first
wear in which official ballots were used
in this state.
1t is with much regret and some mis-
Pivings that the Republican State Com
mittee had adopted new emblem-N
has the right under the law TO select any
sore of an emblem, except portrait
that it chooses. The change is due 10
the new election law, which provides that
the emblem must be placed in space
only hve-sixteenths Of an inch deep.
Experience in the county elections up
state this spring developed the fact that
when the present emblem was reduced
in size sufficiently to go into the ballot
space provided, II lost all its distinctive
character being little more than smudse
i'm some cases. On the other hand. the
Democratic emblem, the SOLID biack star
still showed up clearly in the reduced
form,
II was clear that the Republican emblem
was too complicated. that II would have
TO be changed for one more simple In
design, otherwise some voters might be-
come confused. For sentimental reasons
the state committee regretted making
arfa cd ont IN
thing that would retain some feature OF
the old design.
After consideration IL was decided that
only the eagle should be retained and
the ballot box, pen and sun rays be sac
rificed committee was appointed TO
consider and report on the kind of an
eagle II should be. Fifteen varieties OF
eagle designs were drawn and submitted
TO the committee.
The accompanying cut shows the design

Badly Burned-TWO COM
panions Leap Into Sound.

Paul Valance, civil engineer in the
office Of the Borough President of The
Bronx, is in Fordham Hospital in 6
serious condition as the result Of fight

With Walter Hoffman, civil engineer

City Island Yacht Club early yesterday
for day on the Sound. When between
Sands Point and Harris Island oil
floating on water in the bottom of the
Twin Kid was ignited by a backfire OF
the motor.
The flames spread rapidly, and when
the gasolene tank was threatened
Hoffman and Fisher leaped overheard,
calling on Valance to follow suit. Va
lance kept battling to save his boat
until, with his face and hands severely
burned and his clothes afire, he lit
orally fell into the water unconscious.
Hoffman and Fisher succeeded in
holding him up until Frank Chester.
of the City Island Yacht Club. came
up with his motor boat, the Honey,
and rescued all three. After being re-
vived by DR.. McChristie. of 1OjS Cald-
well av., at the clubhouse, Valance was

Office to Direct
Execution.

Just because Thomas ]. McCormlch'
the new warden of Sing Sing, did mol
want 70 begin his duties with an execu-
tion lanes NJ. Clancy, whose term ex-
pired officially at midnight, remained
at his post until soon after O'CLOCK inns
morning. The execution or feter ne.
bacci. the Westchester Murder King
was scheduled for 5:45 o'clock.
Mr. Clancy resigned the wardenshlp
because. he asserted, Tammany Han
politicians would not keep their hanos
off the prison. Mr.. Mccormick, VINO
succeeds him, is one Of Tammany's sup
porters in Yonkers.
Mr.. Clancy said last night that ne had
no immediate plans for the future. lie
hoped to become United States Marshal
for New York City, he said.
More than ordinary interest is at
tached to Rebacci's execution. He was
accused, in the first place, of being IN
strumental in a number Of murders De-
sides the killing Of Tony Mario, OF
White Plains, for whose death he was
sentenced.
He also was suspected of having In
cited the strike and Of terrorizing the FOR
eigners hired to work on John ID. RocKe-
felers country estate at Pocantico two
years ago. Because he told District AT
torney Frederick Weeks he could expose
other slayers, Governor Glynn gave him
a six months reprieve.
But he failed to reveal any other
! criminals. Saturday night he again sent
for Mr.. Weeks. He said he had some
thing important to tell him. But the
prosecutor expressed the belief that the
SLAYER was seeking further respite and
refused to call upon him.

Justice Lehman. in the supreme Court
Tho decision was rendered in a SUIT
brought by Mrs Nellie l.. Nought' Wl1e
If y. Frank Vought, a wealthy huild-
or NJ SAC Madison av., TO restrain

ter Of the Phi Gamma Delta frater-
nitv. which has occupied the house Tor
the last year. Justice Lehman hoios
that the fraternity houses violate the
restrictions.
Mrs. Vought bought house adJoln-
ing the fraternity house from MIS-
Bliss. and in her complaint alleges
that the use of the residence as
fraternity house was a violation OF the
restriction laid down by New YORK
University that buildings erected on
that street should be occupied as
private residences" only.
BECAUSE the students entertained
and held smokers and dances in the
fraternity house lasting until early
morning" Mrs. Vought contended,
through her attorney. that the PM
Gamma Delta house was not a private
residence. and that these practices
were a "detriment to the peighoorhood
for residential purposes"
That the fraternity houses had not
affected the value Of the section, Pro-
fessor Bliss said was shown by the
fact that DR.. w. T. Hornaday, director

If the Phi Gamma Delta had made az
fdavits that they did not consider that
the value Of their properties had been
lowered by the proximity of the fra
ternity houses.
In his decision granting a perma-
nent injunction to Mrs. Vought, JUS
tice Lehman said:
Il find that, while the young men
who are members of the fraternity and
occupy the house at all times conduct
ed themselves in a proper manner and
have caused the plaintiff no damage
other than that which is inseparable
from the use of the premises as a ira
ternity house, yet such occupancy
itself constitutes breach Of the cove
nant that the premises shall be used
for private residence only. The words
'private residence cannot be extended
SO as to permit the occupancy of the
house by an association of young men
not connected by family ties, for dwell
ing or social purposes, however close
" the admission to such associations
may be restricted"

CONFESSION
Higgins Now Denies That He
Killed His Wife and Says
Admission Was Not
the Truth.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
GAIESBURG, H., Jan. 22.-State's
Attorney Wilson of Aledo, who has
charge OF the prosecution of Robt.
Higgins, charged with the murder OF
his wife, and OF Julia Flake as acces-
sorry, is not in the beast disturbed by
the signed statement in which Hig-
gins repudiates the confession that
he made to the officers. When inter
viewed this morning he said that he
relied upon the confession made by
Higgins, supplemented by that OF the
girl and by considerable circumstantiaI
evidence that detectives have picked
up He scouts the idea Lnar any COM
pulsion was used on Higgins but says
that the confession was free and
voluntary and that wheh he made II
there were pres snt a number OF wit
nesses. The prosecuting attorney
further said that Higgins told the
same story freely at the jail to q
company OF newspaper men and thai
i he did not change his attitude unit
] after attorneys had seen hin; and ask
ed him to stop. Wilson also regarded
the insanity plea as puerile.
Friends OF Higgins in North Hen
dsrson are, however, still assertin,
their belief in his innocence an,
i doubling the charge that he suggeste'
to Julia that she write letters to G
w. Ernst suggesting the mlrder o
her mother.
