BEGUN IN U. S. COURT
District Bench Hears Argu-

Is Unconstitutional.
DECISION IS RESERVED
Company Contends Its Prop

out Due Process Of Law.

Arguments were heard yesterday in
case of the Marcus Brown Holding Com
pany Of New Jersey against Arnold Pol
lax, a tenant in the apartment house at
215 West Ninety-fifth street. The COM
pany is suing Pollak as a "treaspasser"
and in an effort TO have the new rent
laws declared unconstitutional. Judges
Martin T. Manton. Julian W. Mack and
Learned Hand. after hearing tho argu-
ments. reserved decision and ordered
counsel on both sides to file their briefs
by tomorrow.
j. A. Seidman appeared for the Marcus
Brown Holding Company. and with him
were George l.. Ingraham. representing
the Real Estate Board of New York, and
Louis Marshall. representing the Apart
ment House Owners Association. Attor-
neys for the defendant were Edward

II Is alleged that Pollak's two year
lease on his apartment expired Octo-

company seeks to GUST Pollak and TO
restrain District Attorney Swami from
enforcing the rent laws. which make 1t
a misdemeanor for landlords to fail to

Few sim Operating.

There are few that must be name
less until District Attorney Weeks sue
ceeds in obtaining evidence against
them; they are still operating, but not
in the old free and open way.
Fifty-four indictments on charges OF
common gambling Is the record in
Nassau county for the last twelve
months. II is doubtful II any county in
the United States can equal II. Thirty
five men have pleaded guilty, fourteen
have pleaded not guilty and are await
ing trial.
Those who pleaded guilty have been
fined from $50 To- $1,000. Most of them
left the county TO seek safer fields after
the John Doe inquiry had pumped them
OF any information that might help to
involve others.
The most sensational of the many
raids was one which Neil II. Vande-
water. counsel for the Nassau County
Assertion. pulled off last July. Mr..
Vandewater brought State troopers into
Long Island. who smashed their way
into one of the most fashionable houses
in woodmere and made five arrests.
This raid. which was made over the
head OF the District Attorney, almost
started feud between Mr.. Vande-
water and Mr.. Weeks. but they patched
up their quarrel and have since been
working together.

Argument for Plaintiff.

Mr.. Seidman, appearing for the PLAIN
tiff, said the defendant had deprived the
plaintiff of property right and a right
to receive and recover under a binding
contract the sum of $4,000. He con-
tended that Pollak was a trespasser and
would remain such unless restrained.
The claim of Pollak that he had
right to remain in possession of the
property, Mr.. Seidman said. was based
solely upon the housing laws enacted
by the Legislature in September He
contended that the housing legislation
is unconstitutional for the following four
reasons:
l. 1t takes away the contract rights
of the complainant and impairs the
obligation of contracts existing at the
time of the passage of the law.
2. 1t takes away the property OF the
complainant without consent and with
out due process OF law.
3. It denies the complainant and other
owners of buildings in the city of New
York the equal protection of the laws.
4. II compels the complainant against
it's will to render service to the defend
ant in violation of the Thirteenth
Amendment to the Constitution.

HIGH SCHOOL LAD
DIES IN ACCIDENT

The State.
Darlington, April 19--Andrew D.
Cauthen, star high school athlete and
one Of the most popular young men
of the city, was almost Instantly
killed this afternoon near Society
Hill when the automobile in which
he was riding skidded and turned
over. Young Cauthen and four other
members of the Darlington high
baseball team were en- route to
Cheraw to see Columbia and Cheraw
schools play. The other members Of
the party. were: Theron Mozingo,
who was driving the car; George
Theton, Hampton Skinner and Tom
Sharpe, none of whom were serious
ly injured.
The young men left Darlington
about 3 O'Clock and the accident oc-
Cured half an hour later, two and
one-half miles from Society Hill. The
machine had climbed a long hill and
on the crest struck sand, skidded and
turned completely over. Hampton
Skinner, with a painful injury to his
hand, walked to Society Hill for
medical attention, but when the doc
tor arrived, Cauthen was dead.
Sharpe's legs were hurt. The
Columbia high school nine was
scheduled to play Darlington Tuesday
and the young men were on their way
to Cheraw to get a look at the team
preparatory to the game here. The
date has, of course, been cancelled.
Darlington is saddened by the dis
tressing accident. Andrew Cauthen
was the son of the Rev. and Mrs.
Henry j. Cauthen and was youth of
sterling character and rare worth.
Exceptionally we'll liked, his death
has cast gloom over the entire city.
The chamber of commerce, scheduled
to meet this afternoon, Immediately
adjourned out Of respect to his men,
ory, and the school will attend the
funeral services tomorrow in body.
Young Cauthen was in his 18th
year and gave promise of a fine COL
legiate athletic record. He had al
ready made for himself a strong place
in high school circles, being valu-
able member of the football team and
a mainstay on the baseball nine. He
was without a doubt one of the very
best high pitchers in the state. He
had already pitched his team to sew
eral victories this season and in ad-
dition to his work in the box was hit
ting well.
Funeral services will be held at
Grove Hill cemetery, here, Tuesday

ANDERSON MIDDLE
GOES INTO COURT
Right Of Governor to Remove Ap.
pointee Sheriff to Be Determined.
The State, 2lst.

The State, 2lst.
Argument n the case Of c. G.
King and the State Of South Carolina
against J. DIN Sanders, which case
involves the title to the Office of
sheriff of Anderson county, was heard
in the supreme court yesterday morn
ing. The petitioners were represent
ed by B. ?. Martin of Greenville and
S. NJ. Wolfe, attorney general. with
Gen. N. L. Bonham and G. p. Greebe
of Anderson for the respondent.
Governor Cooper removed Sanders
from the office of sheriff January %,
because of alleged immoral conduct,
and on the same day appointed G.
G. King to fiji the vacancy. Sanders
refused to surrender the Office. A
few days later an order was given,
requiring Sanders to show cause why
he should continue to perform the
duties of the office.
The chief executive has not the
power to remove a sheriff elected, but
Sanders had been appointed by the
chief executive to fill the place made
vacant by the resignation of former
sheriff, Joe NJ. H. Ashley, and the
governor has the authority to remove
an appointee "for cause" This au-
.hority is given in Paragraph 2 OF
Section .695 Of Volume l, Code of
Laws of 1912, which reads as follows;
"Any vacancy in county Office, by
reason Of death, resignation, refusal
or neglect to qualify, of the person
elected or appointed The eto, expira-
ton of the term of Office or any
other. cause. The person SO appoint
led to hold Office, in Rll cases in which
tthe office is elective, until the next
general election and until his sue
cessor shall qualify, and in cases OF
offices which are originally filled by
appointment and not by election.
until the adjournment OF the session
of the general assembly next after
such vacancy has occurred. The gov:
ernor may remove for cause any per.
son SO appointed by him to fill such
vacancy"
An: interesting angle developed
during the procedure yesterday when
a second affidavit was introduced by
counsel for the respondent, Sanders,
in which affidavit E. M. O'Bryant
withdrew some statements he had
made in his original affidavit on
which Governor Cooper took action
In his last affidavit Mr.. O'Bryan says
that he was surprised on looking over
his first affidavit to find that he had
sworn that 81. Olin Sanders and the
wife of the deponent had both ad-
mitted that they were guilty of the
charge of having Illicit sexual rela-
ton"
The court is not to pass on the
merits or dement's of the cause lead
ing to removal. the sole question to
be determined being that of the gov
ernor's authority to remove.
