commission and its attitude, but seemed
undistressed about the problem.

on the board?" he was asked.
why, there are no vacancies yet" he
replied. with n smile. THE gentlemen
won't resign"
The Mayor said he had received letters
from number of persons and societies
asking him to retain the present COM
mission, but he had had no opportunity
to go over this correspondence carefully.
More important things, he said, had to
receive his attention.
DO you intend to dismiss them, Mr.
Mayor"
The Mayor made no reply. He re-
marked that he thought he had done
right in asking for the designations
The Mayor said he had his new COM

Yesterday the commissioners acknowl-
edged receipt OF the Mayors letter. and

BEGIN SUIT TO RECOVER
DIAMONDS HELD BY BANK
jewelers. Allege That Ex-Polce Cap
tain Obtained Them on Memoranda"

A replevin suit was begun by A. Simon
& Sons today against John w. Emery. a
contractor. and the Guarantee Trust and
Safe Deposit Company to recover jew
elry valued at $4,000. The plaintiff also
asks $1,000 for the detention of their prop
erty The case Is being tried before Pres
Court, No. s.
1t is contended by the plaintiff that
Mr.. Emery, who was formerly n police
captain obtained the iewelry, which in
cludcd 10 diamond rings and n pair Of
earrings. on what wac known as "mcm-
oranda," and that later he needed ready
cash to fulfil certain building agreement
obligations. subsequently, 1t is contend
ed, he obtained loan from the Guar
antee Trust and Safe Deposit Company
and gave the jewelry as collateral Later,
1t Is alleged. Emery defaulted in his pay
ments to the jewelry firm for the dia-
monds and the concern issued n writ of
replevin against the trust company last
February for the jewelry claiming that
II was their property. as Emery had not
purchased the jewelry, but merely OBJ
tained 1t on "a bailment lease"
The legal question involved is whether
the defendant obtained the jewelry on a
longtime credit.
The trust company maintains that II
was an innocent party when 1t took the
jewelry as collateral for loans to Emery
as II had no reason to believe that EN-
cry was not the bona fide owner of the
jewelry.
