CLAIMS STALEY
| OVERSTEPPED
HIS RIGHT
Governor Feels Report Needed
to Guide Future Executives
! In Settling Removal Cases

ALBANY, Dec. 81 UN.S0.-
President-elect Roosevelt today
wrote the final chapter Of the
historic James j. Walker removal
proceedings-a 42-page men1oran-
dunn summarizing the major legal
points raised during the former
New York city mayors appear
ance before the governor.
The President-elect prepared the
document so that future COVER
nors, who may be called upon to
hear removal charges against
elective city officials, will be able
to find a procedure precedent in
their files.
Hits Staley DcisiOn
Every legal argument raised by
Walkers attorneys during the
trial last summer is dealt with at
length by the governor.
Nearly one-quarter Of the mem
fOrandun is devoted to a sharp at
Rack on the opinion handed down
Ny Supreme Court Justice Ellis
". Staley, of Albany, to whom
walker appealed in an effort to
prevent the governor from pro-
sceeding with the hearing on the
ground that he lacked power to
remove a mayor. Roosevelt wrote:
"Since the governors power
Of removal is distinctly an ex-
ecutive function, not only would
1t create confusion If the ju-
dicial branch of the Govern
ment attempted to direct its
exercise, but the invasion Of
the executive domain would be
Fundamentally Objecti i enable
even II temporarily expedient."
VIOLATES THE LAW
Mayor Walkers resignation fol-
lowed his Interpretation of a Sec
tion Of the Staley opinion as
bearing out his contention he
was not receiving a fair trial.
The governor, in his memo
Tandum, took issue with that
part of the opinion which ex-
pressed belief the executive might,
in the interest of fair play, have
submitted legal points involved to
the courts. Roosevelt wrote:
Insofar as this language inn
plies that the governor could
have transferred the removal
proceedings to the courts, it in
diCates an amazingly erroneous
conception of judicial as well as
executive functions and as
sumes q relation between the
executive and judicial branches
Of the Government which is
violative Of basic principles Of
constitutional law"
A Report Necessary
In no part of the memorandum
does the governor hint what his
action would have been if Walker
had not resigned. His sole ref
.erence to the resignation was as
follows:
"The termination Of a re-
mOval proceeding by the reSig-
nation Of the officer sought to
be removed, as in this instance,
would in most circumstances
render unnecessary any form
Of report, but, in this case,
certain claims were advanced
relating to the jurisdiction of
the governor to remove the
mayor Of the city of New York
and to procedure adopted by
the governor, which are of suf.

Noted Fox TrGpper
Nets More Than
Farmers

LURAY, Va, Dec. 29.-Pelt
shipments to outside markets
this winter by Joseph Richards,
noted fox hunter of this county,
represent about 6 per cent more
profit than half the farmers
of this county have realized
from sale of their produce.
Fo.: and coon hides sold by
Mr.. Richards this winter, if
stretched lergthwise, he figures,
would cover a distance of more
than a mile. They averaged
about $3.4O per pelt.

DRY Law FINES
WAY DOWN

Prohibition fine collections
dropped to a new all-time low in
Alexandria this month. Only
$523.50 was collected from rum
offenders during the month. In
November dry law fines were
$1,O49. During the corresponding
months of the past three years
these fines averaged over $4,000
a month.
Court officials give varying
reasons for the decrease, the
most popular being the failure Of
convicted persons to pay fines.

With the ingrmity of old age,
Lewis II. Ross, has been confined to

North Milfordd, for two weeks. His
son, Leonard J. Ross, of st. Louis,

depressed mind condition, which
helps to make dependence a real
illness for the aged man. Mr.. Ross

A group of friends, who had known
his recently drowned son, provided
the money to pay the fine. Recently

SALE OF OLD RESIDENCE

The property located at Front and
along North streets, known as the
Roudebush homestead, in North Mil
ford, Delaware, was sold, by the
sheriff of Kent county last Saturday
afternoon, March 18th, 1882, on a
Judgment of the First National Bank
against Mr.. and Mrs. Frank De Ar
mand, granddaughter of Mrs: Rou-
debush, who was a daughter of eX-
Governor Burton, and from whom
the property descended to her. There
was only one bid placed at the sale
and that was $4,000. Mrs. ROude-
bush spent ten or twelve thousand
dollars in reconstruction of the orig
inal house. 1t has handsome oak
joice settings and beautiful floor
ing in the many rooms of the old
home. For several years it has been
idle and lacking care, it fell into de-
cay. so that to place it i'll use VIII
have to be taken through a general
repair.
The land on which the property
stands runs north on North street
for nearl y0ne square, while the
frontage on the main business thor
Oughfare almost opposite the Cen
trail Hotel, is unusually large; i'll
fact the land without the house is
worth more than the amount paid by
the ban kat the sale, which was only
a part of it's claim, and was sold to
get title and possession.

SUSSEX COUNTY ORATORICAL
AND DECLARATION CONSISTS
ARE TO BE HELD AT LEWES

Professor !. NJ. Bcnncttc, presi-
dent of the Sussex County OratOri
cal and Defamation Association an
nounced this week that the county
contest will be held in the Lewes
school auditorium on the afternoon
and evening of April l. The oratori-
cal contest is scheduled to start at
two p. M, while the defamation
contest will be held at eight o'clock
in the evening.
Mr.. Bennett has sent letters to all
the high school principals of the
county informing them when and
where the conteststwill be held, and
who is eligible to participate.
1t was pointed out that though
the orations must deal with a sub
ject relating to George Washington,
the declamations did not necessarily
need to be of a patriotic nature. Pa
triotic subjects should, however, be
selected as far as may be easily
possible.
The judges for the contest have
not as yet been made public, but it
is understood that none of them are
residents of Sussex county.

Lining Opsr Dela70ars Things
Column Containing Some of the Thoughts of the Late
George B. HynSOn

This column will, for a number
of issues to follow, be devoted to
acquainting the people of Delaware
with the character and works of one
of the most interesting literary per-
sonages of the State of Delaware.
This man, native of our State, is
Mr. George B. HynSon. Mr.. HynsOn
was for many years in the newspa-
per work as editor of the Whining
ton Evening Journal. He was for
many years the advertising mana
ger for The L. D. Caulk Company.
After leaving the Caulk Company he
went to Philadelphia and started the
Biddle Press. However, Mr.. Hynson
found time for both sepaking and
writing. His writings contain both
humor and humanism. Most of Mr..
Hynsons writings were about the
State of Delaware and it is to him
that we are indebted for our State
Song, "Our Delaware AS Sunday,
March 27. 1882, is Easter Sunday, we
are reprinting here a poem by Mr.
Hynson entitled Easter"
The angel smiled, and leafless trees
Threw out their banners to the
breeze;
The hills grew bright; the wales
between
Put on their robes of living green;
The featured choirs all chanted
praise
And Joined in vibrant roundelays,
While sleeping lilies heard the call |
And peeped along the garden wall,
The earth revived, no longer dead
There is no DEATH" the angel said. |
