NJ CARL RULING
DUE TODAY

The final decision of Comptrol-
Ter General J. R. McCarl on the
subject of overlapping legislative
and administrative furloughs,
which last Saturday was slated
for today, may be issued late to-
day or tomorrow, it was said at
McCarPs office today.
He is to rule definitely on the
protest of the Civil Service Com
mission against his previous order,
which forbade computation Sepa-
rately of reductions when indefi-
mite furlough was ordered. He
ruled legislative leave must be
deducted first, in it's entirety,
then administrative leave.
McCarl also ruled today that
charWomen, who at most can
work three to five hours day
at so cents an hour for 307 days
year, hence cannot possibly
earn more than $3.50 year, are
exempt from the 8.3 per cent
salary reduction ordered by the
economy act.
They are the only employees
thus far exempted whose rate of
pay would. if they worked stead
lily, earn them $1,000 minimum a
year.
McCarl found that the practices
and policies affecting charwomen
generally made an exception In
their case.

There were talkie newsreel
trucks to record the speech of

slow step of Libby as she ran
the gauntlet of the gaping coun-

senior and junior.
Her Doctor at Hand
That gentleman with the black
bag was a physician. He was
sticking close to Libby.
Her lawyers told the judge in
their plea for her freedom that
she was going to become
mother-that her health was
shattered by the tragedy, the
notoriety, the accusation that she
had slain the father of her child,
the boy she loved dearly.
Libby sat immovable through
it all in her black, solid black
costume of mystery.
Perhaps the tears were trick
ling from the wide brown eyes
as they did when she sobbed out
her romance before a coroner's
jury. But the black, thick veil
walled out the secret.

plenty to see for the population

which there is no provision in

of murder but qualified it by de,

might reverse himself.

COURT ACTION

ROOSEVELT
Home Rule BaCkerS May File
Challenge to Governor
In Walker Case

NEW YORK, Aug. 9 UN.S.).
A court fight to challenge Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt'S right
to sit in judgment on Mayor
Walker was threatened today.
Although Walker is taking
no part in this unexpected
move, George Donnelly, advO-
cate of home rule, telegraphed
the governor, asking for a pre-
liminary hearing to argue the
executives legal rights to act
on the removal.
Should Roosevelt refuse to
grant such a hearing, Donnelly
once secretary to former PreSi
dent Cyrus Miller, of the Bronx,
will apply tomorrow or Thurs
day for a writ of prohibition
restraining Roosevelt from act
ing on the Walker custer until
the Court of Appeals has de-
cided on the legal points in
Volved.
HOme-RuIe Point Raised
Mayor Walker, and his ad-
visors, it is understood, also ques-
ton the governors power, but
Walker has refused to interpose
technical objections, holding the
case should be settled on it's
merits.
Through his counsel, Sidney S.
Levine, Donnelly argues that the
home-rule amendment to the
State constitution (Which Walker
drew while State senator) states
that cities shall have the power
to determine how their officials
shall be removed.
Wants Real Trial"
This amendment, Levine main
tains, Supercedes Section 122 of
the city charter under which the
governor plans to preside at the
custer hearing in Albany Thurs.
day.
In his surrebuttal to Samuel
Seabury, counsel of the Hof-
stadter legislative committee,
Walker demanded the governor
hold real trial" rather than a
mere hearing.
He maintained his right to
crosS-examinG witnesses at the
trial, and to produce witnesses in
his own behalf.
If Governor Roosevelt upholds
the mayors demands, fireworks
are expected when the mayor
croSS-examineS Seabury.
