Assembly Will
Probe CHARGES
Against Strong
Votes to Act ON Accusations
Filed by Nassau Co. Bar
Association i'm Case of
Supreme Court Justice
Machoid to Name Board
Report To BE Made at Next
Session Of Legislature
on Question of Removal
From q s.or Correspondent

ALBANY, March 17.--The Assembly
unanimously adopted resolutions TO-
day calling for an Investigation Of
charges Of official misconduct lodged
against Supreme Court Justice Seiah
3. Strong, of Suffolk County.
The charges were fled with the As-
sembly by the Nassau County Bar AS
sociation, which asks for The removal
Of Justice Strong Accompanying the
charges were two resolutions, one ask
ing the investigation and second ere
ating the committee of Investigation.
Report to Next Legislature
olution, which directs the Speaker to
appoint q committee of seven, is that
the committee is ordered to report back
to the next Legislature. Meanwhile. If
the committee finds that Justice Strong
should be removed IL would be without
power TO bring about his removal until
next year. On the other hand, IL the
charges are found untrue Justice
Strong will rest under cloud until the
committee makes it's report when the
next Legislature convenes.
The resolutions, along with the Pc
tition of the bar association, were of
fercd by Assemblyman Thomas A. Nc
Whitney, of Nassau.
When Assemblyman McWhinney wxs
asked why the resolution creating the
special investigating committee was
directed to report back TO the next
Legisle ture, he explained:
1--WE did not want special session
Y Il T. IL
committee finds the charges true tha
If the special committee had not been
especially directed to report back TO
the next Legislature, and the charges
were found to be true, the Assembly,
on the recommendation Of the commit
tee on it's own initiative, could con-
vene, file articles of impeachment sp-
point prosecutors, then notify the Gov
ernor of what 1t had done He would,
perforce, convoke the Senate in extra
ordinary term. The Senate, sitting with
tho Court of Appeals, would constitute
a court Of impeachment, and hear the
case which would be prosecuted by the
board of managers, appointed by the
Assembly. There is only one other
method of removing Supreme Court
Justice-by concurrent resolution Of
the Legislature which would have to
be adopted by a two-thirds vote in
each House.
Charges Against Strong
Among the accusations made again 81
Justice Strong is that he tried to get
grand jury to indict Senator George

bribery, knowing the charges to be un-

Hylan Calls Hearing on When
Or Why Is q Mermaid a Woman

The question as to whether the two
reclining figures at the base of the
heroic figure Of man, symbolizing
Civic Virtue" in the MacMonnies
group for the statue for the fountain
in City Hall Park, are fish or women
is to be formally determined by the
members of the Board of Estimate at
a public hearing on the matter next
Wednesday at the City Hall. The Mayor
announced the date for the hearing
yesterday at the meeting Of the board.
If the two figures are found to be
mere fsh, or mermaids, the members
Of the board were inclined to believe
yesterday that tho objections made
by the women to having representatives
Of their sex stepped on, even symbol
cally, would be removed.
II was evident that the members Of
the board had not seen the completed
group or studied pictures of it. Com
missioner Grover A. Whalen, of the
Department of Plant and Structures.
was requested to see to it that pic
lures Of the group and any other data
available be presented at to Aearikg
next Wednesday,.
New-York tribune., 1922-03-18

The Mayor brought the matter up at
the board meeting.
"There are many women In the city
opposed to the statue" he said, "and
they should be given ample opportunity
to be heard
"I understand that those aren't wom-
en- in the statue at ell, but fishes or
mermaids or something" said Borough
President Maurice r. Connolly Of
Queens.
"weil, you ought to know" remarked
Mayor Hylau.
Borough President Julius Miller Of
Manhattan declared that 1t might be
inadvisable to erect the statue, tor
which base has been prepared in City
Hall Park, too close to the members Of
the Board Of Estimate.
\ "If the Art Commission has over
reached its artful eye the women at
tending the meeting will tell them So"
said the Mayor. "If the Board of Esti-
mate decides it is not proper statue
for City Hall Park. / will find way to
keep it out Of the park. l will take the
matter up with the Park Commissioner,

ALBANY, March 13.--Democratic
members Of the Assembly started a
filibuster at II o'clock last night, as the
1922 Legislature was about to adjourn
sine die, and at an early hour this
morning the minority, with dilato1y
tactics, was still delaying the hour Of
final adjournment.
The trouble started when the Knight
Mental Deficiency bill, to which Com
missioner Bird S. Coler Of the Depart
nient Of Welfare is opposed because
he thinks it would permit the railroad
ing of persons to insane asylums, was
defeated by vote Of "a to 81.
Assemblyman William Duke, of
Allegany, who had charge of the bill
in the Assembly, Immediately asked
for reconsideration Of the vote, re-
curing q slow roll call
Minority Leader Charles D. Dono-
hue took exception to this and charged
the majority with being unable to ac-
cept defeat gracefully. He then an
nounced he would start a fiilibuster if
AssemDlyman Duke did not withdraw
his request. Duke pressed his motion
and the vote for consideration was
carried.

Derby Declined Indian Post
Prom The 7Ffbuns'a Buropcnr Burscm

LONDON, March 17.--Another nail
was hammered into the coffin of the
coalition government to night. when the
Earl of Derby, speaking at the Junior
Carlton Club dinner, violated all tra-
dltion ii, announcing that the portfolio
of Secretary for India had been offered
to him and that he hsd refused it. As
it If almost unprecedented for such
offers to be referred to in public ad
dresses, and as Lord Derbys latest pre-
vious uttcrances were at q Conservative
caucus at Liverpool, where he helped
to put down q revolt in Unionist ranks
against the coalition's Irish policy, his
speech tonight was regarded as in
dicative of the lengths to which disin-
tegration of the coalition has gone.
Lord Derby declared emphatically for
his party, asserting that he had refused
the portfolio because he believed that
the interests Of his party and the in
terests of the country would best be
served by his keeping out Of the Cab
met.
From first to last the speech was
plainly intended to back up the Union
list rank and file in It's revolt against
the Coalition. Referring to Austen
Chapbcrlain's announcement that he
would issue g statement soon on cleo
tion policies, Lord Derby said he had
no doubt that he would be able to sup
port that declaration.
"I will give my answering loyalty
and unstinted energy to the Unlonist
leaders, whether they arc in or out Of
the government" Lord Derby said.

Makes Unprecedented An

sizing Political Crisis

LONDON, March II (By The Associ-

inspired, was issued tonight denying
that Premier Lloyd George intends to

he intends to stay ct Criccieth, Wales.
another ten days or fortnight and has
definitely decided to go to Genoa, and
states further that on his return to
London he will. seriously tackle the
home political situation.'
The fact that it should appear NEG
essary to issue such statement is
commented upon as indicating the ex-
treme urgency OF the crisis, while the
delay in dlling Edwin S. Montagu's
post as Secretary for India is gen
orally considered proof OF the diff
culties under which the Coalition is
laboring. There is hardly single
newspaper now that does not take 1t
for granted that the Coalition govern
ment is nearing an end and that the
next ministry will be purely Con-
servative one.
Premier to Consult Colleagues
The Prime Minister has arranged to
hold weekend political party at
Criccieth next week, when he will con-
suit with his principal colleagues
Viscount Gladstone, an important
organizing leader of the Asquithiau
Liberals, in letter to a provincial
paper. makes what is looked upon as a
tentative offer to Lloyd George Of
leadership in a reunited Liberal party.
Pointing out that the Coalition Lib
erals would be welcome to rejoin the
old Liberal party if willing to indorse
the policy Of that party, he declares
such reunion involves condemnation bv
the Premier and his Coalition Liberal
followers OF their own policy, adding.
"Fhs decision rests with Mr.. LAoyd
George"
The Coalition Unionists won By a
plurality Of S,e43 in the recent Cam
bridge by-election against divided
opposition. The election was for a
successor to Sir Eric Geddcs, Coalition
Unionist, former Minister of Trans
port, resigned. The successful candi-
date was Sir Douglas Newton.
The result affords little encourage
ment TO the government Cambridge
might Mt any ordinary time be re
garded as safe Unionist seat, but
instead of Unionst majority of near
ly 5000 votes, such IS was given at
the general elections, the new member
was elected on, a minority vote, as the
combined votes of the Labor and
Liberal candidates exceeded the Union
ist poll, while the Labor party almost
doubled its general election vote.

JOINING THE NORTH AND SOUTH

The statement by the Clarkdale chapter of the American Association of Engineers, one of many similar statements made by civic bodies south. should awaken the people of the north to the benefit to be derived by putting through the Oak Creek canyon, or missing link" of great north and south highway. This 23 mile strip of road would bind northern and southern Arizona together, both socially and financially. It would mean a great deal to southern Arizona if part of the thousands of tourists who are pouring through northern Arizona over the National Old Trails route could be diverted by good roads south for side trips. The whole state would benefit thereby. The Grand Canyon is the great objective point for eastern tourists, and when they come, many would like to tour other DOT tions of the state if it could be done in reason able comfort. If the S2,500,000 bond issue pro- posed by Phoenix to drain central Arizona into California was bond issue for the purpose of binding the state together north and south, there would be some reason for advocating the issue of bonds, but this PhoeniX-to-Coast boulevard across the desert is in reality detriment to the whole state, including the business men of Phoe- nix, who seem only bent on getting people out of Arizona by the swiftest route. California has nothing more beautiful to offer than the wonders of Oak Creek canyon and certainly noth- ing in the way of business connections. The Oak Creek road would join up home people, who are strenuously advocating Seeing Arizona First" :" and Trade at Home.'

REAPING THE WHIRLWIND

Those democrats who would criticize the course of the administration in the strike emer- gency should pause and ponder the policies of Mir. Wilson in a somewhat similar situation. The threatened rail strike was avoided = by agree ing to everyone of the employees demands, and asking congress to enact legislation written by them in their own interest. Principle was dis carded and everything gave way to expediency. The republicans are now reaping the harvest of trouble that the democrats sowed. Both the coal and rail strikes were rought on because op- orators of the mines and the roads refused to continue in effect agreements that had been made by the Wilson administration as temporary expedients.

Some one with great deal of wisdom suggest to labor and labor leaders that they ally them- selves with the government, thus putting them selves on the side of the general public. The people are always willing to help labor fight it's battles when the battle is just, but it can't help them fight battles that are battles against the public. The government is the public.
