(Cont5Nned from yesterdays Avjs.)
Government Secretary (TGmmonS) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. With regard
to authority vested in the President |
wish to remin the Honorable Member
that the President, by Executive Order,
reserves the right to approve and set
aside laws. With reference to the Mem
ber's proposal that the President be
vested with power to appoint the judges,
that would be super1uous, the President
has already received that power from the
Congress Of the United States.
With reference to the printing of the
code, no one regrets that more than |; it
is aimed at me and | wish to explain that
it is through an oversight the section
was not sent. The original Of the code
was sent instead of the copy passed, and
this error was only lately discovered.
LIST Me nber for Christians ed Country
District (StnkemdnnJ remarked: Mr..
Chairman. | fully agree that according
to the Organic Act the Governor is au-
thorized to appoint the officials OF the
Virgin Islands. If the bill had not been
approved it would BE- all right to move
the section and the Council would not
have any say; but it has been passed and
approved by the Governor and become
law, therefore the President has,
, 1921-05-06

through HIM, decided that there Snal De
two judges, and that cannot be changed
unless by legislative amendment. It 1t
had not been made law, it would be a
different thing. You cannot make a law
today and have it changed tomorrow by
the President; no! If that is so then the
whole code would be changed. If that
section is taken out it might change the
whole code. The President could have
said he would not approve the law, bat
he cannot approve it and Iater change a
part of it. According to my legal know
ledge, and according to the nature OF the
matter, this is a law that is in existence
and cannot be changed in that way, In
order to have it changed it must be acted
upon by the Legislative body with the
approval of the President or the Govern
or. | take up the ordinance, if it be We
toed, then two judges will remain.
Government Secretary (TGmmOnS) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. Just one word.
With regard to the Organic Act and the
Executive Order, the Act also reads:
with the approval Of the President
and sunder such rules and regulations as
the President may prescribe etc. The
Interpretation pu on that is clear; all the
legal minds agree that. that is clear. He
might not find it convenient to take action
OD d Id " lOI SlA lI1OIILIS VI pei ldpS q SCti,
but he has vested the power in the Gov
ernOr.
1st Member for Ghristiansted Country
District (StakemGnn): | believe the sec.
tion TO which the Honorable Government
has reference begins with Except as
hereinafter provided ETC." Some words
are omitted.
Government Secretary (TGmEnons); May
| ask if the Honorable Member refers
to the Organic Act or the Executive
Order?
1st Member for Christiansted Country
District (StdkemGnn): The Organic Act.
Government Secretary ~(I3mNon8) read
the section referred to.
1st Member for Christiansted Country,
District (Stakemann) remarked: Mr.,
Chairman. The President has already
made use of his right. he has approved
the law, he has used his provocative, and
after it becomes law he cannot change
it.
Government Secretary (TjmH1on8j re.
marked: Mr.. Chairman. The local Cow
eminent maintains thai the Governor
has the right 10 approve a law, after it
is done if it is changed by the President,
the quarrel is with the PreSiden, and not
with the local Government.
LIST Member for Christiansted Country
Disttict (-Stakemdnn): And who knows
whether the President has changed the
law?

strongly enough when they spoke at a
mass meeting and through the Colonial
Council a short time ago and asked for
two Judges; and now for the Government
to bring in a misprinted code with that
particular section left out simultaneously
with a new proposal for but one judge,
makes me feel that matters are not car
ried on d fair way towards US.
This is an American Island now, and
while we know that the law and the
courts are the backbone of the Ameri-
can Constitution it is int0lerable for Us
to go around with the feeling that our
Courts are being medd!ed with. We
certainly would feel safer and more
satisfied in this island it the judges were
appointed by the President. | recon-
mend that the Council vote that we have
two judges il the Virgin Islands, and
that they may De appointed by the Presi-
dent OF the United States.
4th Appointed Member (B~Jackwood):
On the road the Council had nothing to
say, but on the law Members have much
to say.
Government Secretary (1jmmons): |

has no objection to the President ap-
pointing the Judges
LIST Member for Frederiksted Country
District (Ander8enj: | canno under

draws the bill.
Government Secretary (Tjmmoms):
Simply because OF the action that has
been made clear.

District (Stdk6n1o30g) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. / appreciate the stand the
Government has taken, that is to have
the President appoint the two judges.
| d. not believe the President will, in
this little matter, refuse to follow the
views Of the people. The Naval Depart.
ment or some one IN Washington is prob
ably a the back Of this matter. ! do not
believe thai for the sake Of saving Four
Thousand Dollars this section of the code

OUTLINE PROGRAM OF
WORK FOR SEASON

The directors of the Y. w. C. A.
met at headquarters Tuesday after
noon to discuss the program of the
organization for the fall and winter
Miss Alma Blandin, secretary of the
association, gave report of the ac-
tivities for the summer season, with
especial reference. to the summer
camp, the Lake Geneva conference
and the use of the headquarters build
ing. On this latter subject Miss Blan-
din stated that the building was used
every day, some visitors being strang-
ers stopping in the city between
trains, tourists, and girls wanting a
place to spend the time while waiting
for late trains out of the city The
room registry showed that thirty-two
persons had applied for rooms, among
that number saleswomen, clerks, stem
Jgraphers. factory workers, students,
eaeEers, demonstrators and members
of theatrical troupes
Forty-five girls took part in the
summer camp activities and nine at
tended the conference at Lake Geneva.
The playground work, undertaken for
the children of the city in cooperation
with the Y. M. G. A. showed a total
attendance for eleven days on the four
Fairgrounds of Pip children, an aver
age of 1872 per day. 1t is felt that the
success of this project warrants at
tempting it on larger scale next year

HORSE BEATEN
AND BURNED
ANIMAL MAY LIVE BEN
SCHILBREK AWAITS
HEARING

Beating horse because it would
not move and then lighting a
tire under it to force action, is
the charge of cruelty to ami
mails against Ben Schilbrek, of the
town of Flieth, as result of which a
warrant was sworn out But Mr.. Schil-
Drek was already under arrest on a
search warrant charging larceny. 1t
is alleged that he recently drove to the
town of Ringle, stealing scythe, hoe,
pick, chains, bed blankets and pillows,
later taking them to his shack.
Horse Treated
The treatment of the horse. wit
messed in part by neighbor, aroused
the ire of Mrs. K. F. Stockum, secreta-
ry of the Federated Charities, who
swore out the warrant and who i'm
mediately turned the horse over to a
veterinarian for treatment. The horse
will live, 1t is reported, although it is
burned about the belly and swollen
two to three inches. Its skin is cracked
in many spots and according to the
veterinarian, there is a large cash
on its neck.
Both charges against Schilbrek are

Fred Schroeder who arrested the man.
On the charge of larceny, Schilbrek
was permitted to give bail in the
amount of 5000. This he furnished,
but when the charge of cruelty to
animals came along, bail was fixed at
$500 and this amount he could not OBJ
tain. AT the present time he is in
Jail waiting hearing this afternoon
Wife Divorced Him
Schilbrek was acquitted some time
ago of charge of having set fire to
his neighbours house. A year ago his
wife, who is now living on a forty
near him with their nine children, di-
vorced him. According to Mrs. Stock
UNI, despite the fact that the mother
and children are making their living
off sandy forty, they are faring bet
ter than they were year ago, and
they are, at least, happy.
