If the present judges of the Court of Appeals choose to depart from the course of their great predecessors, and indulge in language concerning trial courts such as that of Judge Vann in this case, they must not expect it to pass unnoticed. How much they know, and how little or great their experience was at tho bar, individually and collectively, and how fit or unfit they are to sit where they are, is very well known to the trial bench and bar of the state.

the undersigned, believe that 'recent developments have proved the necessity for the formation of a class teachers' organisation. Principals, branch principals and heads of departments each have an association to protect their especial Interests. The Brooklyn Teachers' Association, as far as class teachers are concerned, is practicallv a scholastic Institution onlv, and as such it should receive the heartv support of all departments of the educational system. The increase in teachers' salaries, received in 1.8H2. was due to the independent efforts of class teachers.

Independent action on the part of class teachers has, for a second time, been necessary. Class teachers Interested In this matter are requested to hold a meeting in their respective schools, and to elect one delegate to attend a meeting for discussion oil this subject. In schools of more than twenty five and not less than fortv classes two delegates should be elected. This meeting will be held at Public School No. 15 Tuesday.

The decision of the Court of Appeals revers ing the conviction of Fielding, former deputy commissioner of the department of city works of the city of Brooklyn, was received here by bench and bar with derision, not to say con tempt. And the feeling of the general public in respect of it is the same.

As this is the literal truth, truth requires that it be plainly stated, especially in this column, which is primarily for lawyers. In the verbose, illlter ate and sophomoric opinion written by Judge Vann there is no inquiry and not. a word con cerning the merits of the case. The reversal is not on the ground that the defendant is probably innocent, or is not guilty. It Is for remarks made by the District Attorney in summing up, and wholly without regard to the merits of the case.

The defendant brought his wife and daughter and sister in law into court and had them sit conspicuously before the jury. His counsel made the most of them to excite the sympathies of the jury. Turning to them while summing up he exclaimed: "Will you hit this woman? Will you hit her, and her?" When Mr. Marean, the District Attorney, came to sum up he answered this appeal. He told the Jurythere were other women to consider.

He told them to go into the tax office on the first day for collection. "You will And there," said he, "the widow that has starved her brood of little children, and seen their faces grow thin and haggard, in order that she might be sure that tax day should not find her with empty hands. It is that woman's money, coined out of her blood and the blood of her little children, that the defendant has stolen and squandered. If you will indulge the pitiful sentiments of your hearts look at her." He also told them to look at the men there with their fingers knotted and their bones miss shapec. from toil paying their taxes.

(This same thing was said in a political speech in Brooklyn a few years ago.) He also said that the defendant after being in office a while had "changed his style of living from a frame house on Prospect avenue to a palatial resi dence on Eighth avenue which every one knows cannot be maintained in the style of that neighborhood for less than $10,000 a year." That he had so changed his abode was tn evidence. This the learned Judge writing for the Court of Appeals denounces in heated and violent terms worthy of a schoolboy graduate on commencement day. He calls it "perni cious," "violent," "reprehensible," "harsh and unjust," and so on, and styles the Dis trict Attorney "a heated partisan." He says 'the statements of tho District Attorney were not founded on the evidence, but rested wholly on his unsupported declarations." As only one statement of fact was made by the District Attorney in the language condemned which had not been proved, that the style of living in Eighth Avenue cost $10,000 a year, tho looseness of learned judge in his use of tho plural "statements" is apparent. The learned judge also says that Mr. Marean called the defendant a thief, which by reference to the record turns out to be untrue.

And is it improper to speak of the character of a street to a jury of the vicin age? Since when have jurymen come to be deemed a pack fools? And trial judges, too, for that matter? Think of a judgment being reversed in London because the prosecutor mentioned the cost of living in Rotten Row or Belgravia. Ye gods! What have we come to. It won't be safe to mention even the Bowery or Mott street hereafter. One passage in the learned judge's opinion has excited more ridicule among lawyers than all else. It is this: "From our observation of jurymen we think the language under consideration woould be apt to turn their minds against the defendant, to direct their attention from the evidence and prevent the exercise of sound and dispassionate judgment upon the merits." Mark the loquacity, as well as the big and little tone of this.

But that is not the point. Suppose this to be written by a Judge who never tried a case as a lawyer, and then say what you think of It, and of his "observations of jurymen." People known to have honor never mention their honor, and the same trait holds good in other respects. And when wfe turn to the opinion of our learned Appellate Division in affirming the conviction of Fielding, how do we And the complaint against the District Attorney disposed of? Read it. "We find nothing in the record," they say, "to justify the charge that the District Attorney exceeded his duty either in his opening or his closing address to the Jury. His conduct not only calls for no disapproval from the thLs court, but meets with our cordial approbation." There is a saying about making dogs laugh.

If they do laugh, now is their time. The contrast between this eulogy on the summing up of the District Attorney by the learned Appellate Division, and the strident if not stridulent con demnation of it by the very learned Court of Appeals will certainly make them smile, at least. But when they learn that the very learned Court of Appeals disagrees with itself by 4 to 3 on this laughable method of letting criminals out of jail they will certainly laugh if laugh they can. Herrew, be gorra! what a great thing the law Is in the hands of great men. The trial judge, the five judges of the Appellate Division, and three judges of our august Court of Appeals, nine judges in all, say that the summing up of the District Attorney was allowable and proper.

But four Judges of the Court of Appeals say it was not. and upset a conviction which they do not pretend to suggest was unjust, and which was obtained only by great exertion and trouble. Really, what are bench and bar to expect the public to think of this? Is It not degenerating the administration of the criminal law to absurdity and maudlin sentimentality? When did it originate? With such a decision flung at him a District Attorney might well abandon all attempt to convict public thieves and swindlers. The truth is that if the attempt of counsel for defendants to excite sympathy and create an aversion to convict cannot foe met by the prosecuting officer in kind, a conviction in nine cases out of ten where there ought to be a conviction cannot be obtained. There is much being said of the fact that there is no appeal from convictions in criminal cases in England.

If injustice is claimed, a petition to the Home Secretary is the only course. The case Is then examined by competent persons not to find some miserable technicality to upset it, but to see if on the evidence the defendant is guilty. Unless it is found that the evidence fails to show that he was guilty beyond the doubt of reasonable men, the judgment is net disturbed. No maudlin sentimentality or small minded technicality avails to prevent the course of Justine. The truth is that the "law" is the same here.

The difference is the technical and "tender" administration of the criminal laws in behalf of criminlals which has grown up of late years. "This method of summing up should have been sternly interrupted by the court," says the learned Court of Appeals. "Dear me suz," as the old Yankee women used to say. "Sternly interrupted," mark you. Interrupted is not enough; it would not do at all; it must je "sternly." The judge thus criticised and told that he does not know his duty, and that he is not stern enough, is known 1 by bench and bar in this Judicial Depart ment, and by not a few laymen, to have more I Roosevelt Enthusiastic Over Possibilities of Proposed Taxation Investigation.

FATE OF THE POLICE BILL Legislators Who Are Opposed to the Regeneration of Police Departments. Gossip at the Capitol. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, N. April 22 The last week of the legislative session will start in with a debate upon the special commission, suggested by the Governor and approved of by the Senate committee of taxation and retrenchment, whose duty it will be to investigate the question of taxation and report in full at tho next session of the i.ri.i.mm The Democrats were not ready to discuss the proposition on Friday, and Senator Ellsworth agreed that it should go ever until to morrow night, in order that ample time might be given to study up on the question. There are some Democrats who do not take kindly to the proposition, upon the general theory that such investigations do not amount to much, that It is a waste of time and money and an unnecessary disturbing of conditions cither to have such a body prying into commercial affairs or else neglecting its duties altoirethor The Governor, however, is very much in favor ot the idea and very enthusiastic over the possibilities that may come out of it.

"By Jove!" he said (that is his favorite expression when he is intensely interested), "I intend to make this Jnatter of taxation the main question next year. I Intend, it it is within human possibility, to have .1 tax Iqiv that will be equal in the manner of it.s ap plication, so that all shall bear their proper share of the burden of taxation for the purposes of maintaining government. I do not believe in the socialistic idea; neither do I believe In the idea of corporations and rich men being allowed to escape from the payment of their Just share of the public burden I want, a law that shall work with perfect fairness to rich and poor alike, and I shall have It if it is possible." It is likely that the Governor may get his commission, but this Legislature is a very slippery one and there is no telling what may happen. The "White Man's Burden" in the present Legislature, Is the police bill. The endeavors of the Governor to get police legislation have been very trying and very wearing and likewise unsuccessful.

The "heathens" do not seem to care for the regeneration the white man wants to give them, and it is certainly a curious study in psychology as to the universality of the rule of two that prevails, whenever this subject is brought up for discussion. There was ono time, during the past week when the Republicans thought they had the necessary votes to win with, but the illusion did not last very long. The previous weak brother. Senator Willis, was brought into line drastic measures, and then the bottom fell out somewhere else. So it appears that the arguments against the bill are always forcible enough to knock it out.

The State Constabulary bill is where It can bo brought up for action at any time, but it is not believed it will be moved. The two Rochester men are so determined in their attitude that it would seem impossible to ever get them in line. Speaking of the State Constabulary bill there is one provision in it that Justifies the action of Assemblyman Charles Cotton in introducing his bill prohibiting the transfer of police from one borough to another except for emergency. This bill was objected to and was not advanced, but it is incorporated in the State Constabulary bill. I The Special Commissioner of Jurors' bill, introduced by Mr.

Collier, has been passed in I both branches of the legislature, and the per son holding the office will now have the pleas I ure of earning his salary. It was intended to aoollsu the ofllce and have the one commissioner of Jurors do all the work. The passage of the original bill was prevented by influence and Mr. Collier, finding he could not wipe the office out, substituted a new measure, providing work for the official. This condition will at least be better than the preceding one.

The Long Island Railroad bills, which have been dormant and which Senator Marshall had given up as dead, have been moved out of their trance, and there Is now a chance of their becoming a law. It Is true the chance is not one that would furnish a brilliant show, but still there is a chance. The one Important bill hae been advanced to the Assembly, and the other, the tunnel bill, amended to meet the approval of the Governor, can be passed if proper pressure is kept up. That progress has been made is due to the ner sistent efforts of E. F.

Linton, the secretary of the Atlantic Avenue Commission. He spent I the entire week arguing with the Senators and meeting objections that were raised, until he got the bills moving. Lieutenant Governor I Woodruff also lent his valuable influence to help pusb the bills and with this assistance, Senator Marshall found he wan able to accomplish something. He regrets the work iliu not begin sooner. Brennan's bridge bill will either go down to defeat or win out on Tuesday next.

The 1 chances are that it will pass unless it becomes i tied up hy rea.ion of some interminable debate which is likely to spring up in t'he Senate, whose "capacity for debate." as Senator Ells 1 worth puts it. "is unlimited." Brennan. how ever, is eneerful and expects to get his bill through. Conditions cannot change quicker than Brennan can. 1 Senator McCarren does not seem to have much influence with Mayor Van Wyek.

lie nan passed two bills and the Mayor has re turned them both without, his approval. The Senator is so loyal to home rule, however, that 1 he has not moved his bilk; and he has got Senator Coffey In a frame mind because he stands in the way of having the Thirtieth Ward improvement hill despite the Mayor's veto. Governor Roosevelt is delighted over the fact that he got his civil service hill through i the Senate before the latest, complications 1 arose. It. Is the one brand from the burning that he has rescued anil the one in which he was most thoroughly interested.

He is willing io have this one lull as the only mark of his I administration. It is not likely the bill would i have gotten through had it not been for his persuasiveness. The amount, of work and i energy ho expended is shown In his conver sion of M. J. Daily to tho idea, even after the Kings 1 KopuMiean organization had unanimously passed a resolution directing the Kings County members; in the Assembly to vote against the bill.

It is understood the Assemblymen will now be forgiven for what they have done, and those who were to a secluded spot at the end of this year will in all probability be allowed t0 continue in public life by their district leaders. During the past week Rochester has been bigger than Plait and the rest of the slat; The Kings County Democrats who arc eyeing the Vat offices of the county with an Idea of filling Hum next year will comforted bv knowing that the which would have made the positions far less attractive, had they become law, nre now dead. Senator McCarren has held the stopper In the bottle Assemblyman Collier la his attention now to bis Montreal school bill. ifc KOt it through the Assembly, but it was tied up in the Senate the past week. He has been working wii.h the meaibers of the finance com mitue and he feds quit; certain now that the measure will get through ail right.

Judging from tho present outlook about l.iiOO of tho bills Introduced at this session will be left in the waste basket. MR. COLER'S VACATION. Controller Color wen; to Atlantic City yesterday for two or three days' rest. In his absence the two deputies will do the work.

Veteran and Active Members Present at a Reunion. There was a large attendance of both veteran and active members of the Brooklyn City Guard, Company Twenty third Regiment, at the Clarendon on Thursday evening. Edward Ludlara, president of the Veteran Association, presided, Introducing each speaker with pertinent allusion to tho part taken by each in History Making," which was the theme of the evening. The veteran of veterans present was Dr. J.

L. Watson, who enlisted in the company in 1S42, who has since served in the war with Mexico and the War of the Rebellion, and who carries the burden of eighty years more lightly than most men of 00. He was the first speaker and spoke pleasantly of the early days and of his continued love for the company. Colonel Alexis Smith gave an interesting account of the active regiment, of Its constant readiness for action in the recent emergency and its disappointment that it was not ordered to the front. General Wingate gave his views of the attitude of the late state administration toward the National Guard and deplored the lack of an experienced soldier at the head of the adjutant general's office.

General Horatio C. King contrasted the war of 1808 with the war of 1861, and thought that the hardships in the recent conflict, such as are Inseparable from war. had been greatly exaggerated by the press and the public. He gave a graphic description of the thirty two days of Grant's advance by the left flank from the Rapldan to the James llivc where the reported los3 in killed averaged one thousand a day, and a total loss in killed, wounded and missing of about Three cheers were given at the close nf his address. Silas B.

Dutcher spoke eloquently of the duty of men in civil life toward the National Guard, which deserved the support and encouragement of every patriotic citizen, and referred with much feeling to the veterans who stood for the preservation of the nation from 1801 to 1805. Very happy addresses were made by Captain Silkman. commandant of the active company, which numbers ninety men. by Sergeant Mc Intyre. who at 12 was a drummer boy and went to the front with the regiment, lieutenant Davidson, Mr.

Plummcr and others. FERGUSON HC CAFFEE.TY. An unusually pretty wedding and one which is of much interest In Catholic circles, was that on Wednesday of Miss Mary Francis Claire McCafferty, daujrhter of Mr. and Mrs. James McCafferty of 1SS Vernon avenue, aud William I.

EM1L PAUR'S ORCHESTRA MAY PLAY AT BRIGHTOCi. President Rossiter Is Now Considering a Proposition for a Fifteen Week Season UNDER INSTITUTE AUSPICES.

Arthur Claassen May Lead in the Afternoons and the Arion Chorus Will Be Available. There is a prospect that Brighton will this summer have a series of orchestral' concerts on an even larger scale than those which Anton Seldl gave there for so many, years undo. tho auspices of the Seidl Society. No contracts have yet signed and no agreement will be completed until after May 10. But the proposition which Presi dent Rossiter of the Brooklyn Heights Rail road, which now controls Brighton Beach, is considering contemplates a season of fif teen weeks by Kmll Paur and his New York' Symphony Orchestra, under tho auspices of the Brooklyn Institute.

The details jave not! yet been fully settled, but the scheme Is for. two concerts every day. (hose in he afternoon ta be conducted by Arthur Claasson. director of th. Arion Singing Society, and those the evening to be conducted by Mr.

Paur. If' the scheme goes through Mr. Claassen's Arion! chorus is expected to bo available for musio which requires both chorus and orchestra, and noted soloists will be engaged occa'Sion ally. This would make available consider able extracts from Wagner's and other operas1 if there should be a public demand for them. Mr.

Rossiter of the railroad company. Pro fessor Frankliu W. Hooper, director of the Institute, and Mr. Claassen are to go down: and look over the ground some day this week. Mr.

Rossiter is not yet committed to Ihe but ho regards it as ihe most promising of! several proposliions made for high class music at the beach. The thing for which he is waiting is to discover whether Mr. Paur and his orchestra will draw a popular audience, Mr. Paur is now on a tour in the Wrsl and the size of his audiences is being reported to Mr. Rossiter as fast as the figures are received by his local representatives.

These figures may be expected to have some weight. but the chief test will be tho concert 10 be given at the rink on May 10 hy Paur and his orchestra and Mr. Claassen and his chorus under the auspices of: the Institute. The reserved seats for this con cert are to be sold at od cents and If the rink is crowded on that night Mr. Paur's agents will press Mr.

Rossiter with a good deal ot confidence to sign the contract. Professor Hooper for the institute is understood to have agreed informally to lend, the support, of the Institute to the concerts if the series is arranged. Mr. Rus. siior expects to spend a very large sum of money in repairing the hotel and fixing up attractive grounds at.

the beach and if the music hall is to be usctl for orchestral concerts it will be moved into the most valuable location and will be put in thorough repair. The parties in interest naturally object to talking about tin plans at ibis stage of the negotiations because the whole thing may fall through. There is no question, however, that a definite proposition has been submitted to Mr. Rossiter on the above outlines for a series of fiftvon weeks beginning June 15 and that he is giving the matter serious cou sideratiou.
