my knees and were then tightly bound
after "A two inch oak piece had been run
between my arms and knees. A handker-
chief was placed In my mouth as a sort OF
"a gag, while a gunnysack was also placed
over my head
After ! heard the men leaving my new

have something placed over my eyes and

ADDS YEAR TO JUDGES TERM.
Appellate Decision Is Against Fall
city Court Election.

Under "A decision by the Appellate Di-
vision of the Supreme Court yesterday
there will be no election this fall for City
Court Justice. Justice Joseph I. Green.
whose term would expire this fall but for
the courts ruling. will serve another year.
The Appellate Division ruling will be
passed on Immediately by the Court Of
Appeals.
The Appellate Division heard suit by
n taxpayer to restrain the election board
and the City Clerk from certifying that a
vacancy in the City Court must be filled
at the election this fall. The suit Is based
on contention that City Court Justices
can be elected only in odd numbered
years. Justice Green was elected in 1904
to MI Il vacancy.
Justice Lehman heard the case In the
lower court and denied the application
without going into the merits of the case.
The Appellate Division decides that all
City Court Justices must be elected in odd
numbered years. and the decision affects
Justices Dechanty. La Fetra and Lynch.
whose terms end In even numbered years
and who will serve n year longer than
their ten year terms by reason OF the

Owner Cannot Lease Ii for Sign
Purposes without Consent.

A decision OF interest to property own
ers who lease the roofs of buildings for
advertising purposes was rendered in the
Supreme Court by Justice Greenbaum in
suit by the Alfred Peats Company
against the Van Beuren Billposting COM
pany and the owner of the property at
the southeast corner of Broadway and
Seventy-fifth street.
The plaintiff is one OF the tenants In
IA building on the south side OF Seventy
fifth street running from Broadway to
Amsterdam avenue, having a frontage OF
PA feet on Broadway and Atty feet on
Amsterdam avenue. The plaintiff occu-
pies all the Broadway side of the build
ing and sixty feet on the Seventy fifth
street side at a rental OF $500. The
entire roof was leased by .Le landlord
to the Van Beuren company. and the
paintiff sued to have the advertising sign
removed on the ground that its lease
covers the roof also.
The owner contended that the landlord
has control over the roof the same as
OF the stairs and Railways. Justice
Greenbaum holds that the plaintiffs lease
covers the roof as much as the outer
walls, and granted an injunction TO the
plaintiff.
