The Appellate Division reserved de-.
cislon yesterday on the motion of Yohn
B. Stanchheld, counsel for WiYl;an

Irregularities in connection with the
expenditure Of fusion funds in the
last municipal election, to have the
proceedings set aside on the ground
that the legal requirements for the con-
Ven'ng of an extraordinary grand jurv
were not carried out.
Counsel also asked for an order re
straining Justice Goff from taking anv
further action in the case. Three other
'no1cted men, who are affected by the
proceeding, are former Governor Will
lam Sulzer, former Senator Josiah n
Newcomb and former Coroner Timothy
Healy.
Error in Advertising
Mr. Stanchfeld based his motion on
an error made in the official ADVERTISE

court, which, he said, nullified the en-

Mr. Stanchfeld said that the order

was merely technical and should not

a reversal in this case would upset

Presiding Justice Clarke remarked d
that the argument Of the Assistant

appears criticisng the Mayor of the
city for refusing to grant DR.. Thomas
II. Curtin a leave OF absence without
pay, and alleging that he had been
caued to the service and his request
1or an indefinite leave Of absence had
been denied. The statement in ques-
ton Is not borne out by the facts
OF the case as submitted TO the Mayor"
The Mayor pointed out that an appli-
cation for three-morths' leave of
absence to recuDerate from illness had
been granted to Dr. Curtin last Jan
uary The Mayor refers to the let
ter written by Dr. Curtin on April
l6 to DR.. Charles Norris. chief medi-
cal examiner Of the city. asking for
an indefinite leave of absence, "as the
Surgeon Generals Office has informed
me that they will soon be In need of
my services for the United States
army"
1T will be noted" said the Mayor
lin DR.. Curtin's request that there is
no statement that he had, when max
ing his application on April 16, been
called to the Surgeon Generals office
but the mere statement, as borne out
by his letter, was that they would
soon be in need of his services.
"1nasmuch as DR.. Curtin had not
been requistioned or drafted at the
time of his application filed with the
medical examiner in chief of his de-
partment, as shown by his own letter

Plans Parley at Hague
On War Prisoners
Bonar Law Says Use of Cap6ves
Behind Lines VIII Be
Discussed

LONDON, May 81 (via ottawa).-
The practice of British airplanes
dropping leaflets behind the German
lines has been discontinued, it was
stated to-day in the House of Commons
by Chancellor Bonar Law, the govern
ment's spokesman, in reply to a ques
ton.
The Chancellor was also asked if
the government was satisfied that Brit.
ish prisoners were no longer forced
to work Immediately behind the Ger
man lines, and, if not, what steps had
been taken or would be taken to pre-
vent the continuance of this treatment
of prisoners. The Chancellor replied
that the treatment of war prisoners
generally would be discussed at con-
ference which it was hoped would
shortly be assembled at The Hague
The discussion he said, would include
the matter Of employment of prisoners
behind the lines.
Another member suggested the ap-
pointment of high official with the
sole duty of carrying out as soon as
possible the direct exchange of all
prisoners with Germany, Turkey and
Bulgaria. The government reply was
a promise to consider the extension
of the existing arrangements with the
two last named countries.
