EAGLE SUIT Appellate Division Says Public Has Interest in Official's Libel Action. JUSTICE MAREAN REVERSED. His Reasoning, It Is Held, Would Preclude a Special Jury In Any Possible Case.

Among the decisions handed down yes terday afternoon by the Appellate Divi sion la one, the opinion of which Is writ- by Justice Miller, which, reviewing tne -special Jury" law, decides unani mously that a special panel of Jurors nouia he allowed, unon ths nroner ap plication, in such Important actions as Borough President Coler Is pressing against the Eagle, claiming uw aamages for libel. At the conclu- lion of ths first trial of the suit, which resulted In a disagreement, the Eagle's n. Oe and and Kuhn. maoe a motion before Justice Marean. in special term, for a special Jury.

Lawyer iarun Lonboy and Mirabeau L. Towns, was then Mr. principal coun- opposed ths motion and Jostles Marean denied It. The Appellate Division nimously reversed Justlci yesterday afternoon and grants the Eagle', request. justices Hlrschberg, Jenkg and Rich sat with Justice Miller i ie argument of the oase.

In hie opinion Justice Miller Bays: "The action la for the ni.hlloatlnn bv me aeiennant of an art cle rhnreine thi plaintiff, the borough preeldent of the oorougn or Brooklyn, with being inter ested In street paving contracts In violation of Section 1533 of the Charter. The demands damages In the sum "The respondent raised on oral argt ment for the first time the point that i-Mf l.i! i for offending Article 3. Section 18 the State Constitution, provides that ihall not pass a private or local hill in auy or hi bo: in awing, summoning, or impaneling grand 1 petit Jurors." It must be conceded at said statute Is a local act, and a' it does provide for selectinz and ppncaoie to Kings county, is a specli o-t 'banter 322 of the Laws nf IRS: Chapter 10. Title 4. Article 2 of the Code or civil procedure.) The statute In oes not purport to be an of that statute, and It Is un- be sustained as being in effect an amend- of an existing act (see People i.

92 N. Y. 128), for the reason that is a general act. containlne sim ilar provisions respecting the drawing of special Juries, which is applicable to Kings County If the nartlcular nrovlslon of the statute In question relating to that subject be deemed to be Invalid. In so far as the act of 1902 provides for ptnv-nt of a commissioner of Jurors for Kings County, it does not of- oonstltutional provision In question.

(People v. Petrea, supra). The general act above referred to 1b Chapter 602 of the Lawa of 1901, as amended bjr Chapter 458 of the Laws ot snid Chapter 602 of the Laws of liMii violated Section 2 of Article 10 of the Constitution In that It provided for the appointment of a county officer by to omcors (Matter or Brenner, 170 N. 185). and it was to meet that deci sion that the statute was amended by said Chapter 458 of the Laws of 1904.

That statute Is applicable to counties aving a population or one million more according to the last fed-ral census, and hence does not of fend the constitutional provision in ical law. (People v. Dunn, 157 Y. 528.) It follows therefore that there Is a valid statute, applicable, 1Mb. 1 i orovl i for the drawing of special Jurors for the trial of an issue of fact, raised in any civil or criminal action.

'So far as pertinent to the question in- volved on this anneal, the statute nrn CHARGE THESE MEN FACE Police Nab Two Suspects Believed to Have Been Working in Brooklyn. OPERATIONS WERE VERY BOLD Two Places of Business Had Good Carried Off in Trucks by Thieves, Both on May 26. Louis Klndler of 155 Essex street, Man- ittan, and Walter Bradhenhere. alias "Lefty" and also "Bansey," of 215 Broome reet. In the same borough, were ar- lgnod in the Adams street court this morning before Magistrate Dooley.

rged with burglary. The two men had been brought from Manhattan by Detec Raphael and John Scott of the It branch detective bureau and Detectives Seleske and McCauley of the local Headquarters bureau. So much Interest in a oase had not been taken by the polkie in months, for it is claimed that the two men have been the ringleaders of a gang of thieves who have carrying on extensive robberies In tatshops in the city. Clothing valued thousands of dollars had been taken. boldly, in the daylight, a wa-jon-load at and there were four recent suf ferers In arooklyn.

The police who are willing to talk say that there has been a remarkable increase in all sorts of burglary In the city in the past month or two, and It would seem that several gangs are at work-holdup men. daylight thieves and bur glars who do their housebreaking In the darn. But the sweatshop robberies hat been so Impudently done that the opera tlons of the thieves began to get on tht nerves of the men higher up at head quarters. Of the robberies in Brooklyn there were two in one day, May 26, when ioi pairs of trousers were carried out ol tne factory of Samuel Helllnger, at 10! Debevolse Btreet, and 149 pairs wen taken from Aaron Lerner's place, in the rear of 390 Stone avenue. The robbery at btone avenue was committed In th presence of one of Lerner's workmen who was sitting on the sidewalk on a chair tilted backward.

It was at an hour operatives were all resting. wagon aring the name "Sheriff Stables Jumped out. He had a bai under his an and he went to the rear wnere the fan iry is. and emerged pretty soon with the bag, filled and over his shoulder. The man on the chair noted nis art inns, thought nothing about it but was Inter able to Identify Klndler as the person with the bag.

It was an hour Doiore tin oisooverv or tne ronnerv ttn made, and the men had driven away. They went to tne Debevoise street shop almost Immediately, it Is believed, and they found that place closed. They broke two locks to get in and they stole $500 worth of property there. Mrs. Greenblatt of 109 Debevolse street bad observed the man who drove the horses and she helped the police later by Identifying Frederick Schultz as the per- ted some time ago by Detectives '''lulev of the local detective squad, and he Is now awaiting action in i.it-e.

nnorner or tne Brooklyn robberies was at about the same time, al Duberstein's factory for making women's skirts, at 315 Osborne street. Brownsville A lot of finished material was taken from there. The detectives of the branch bureau In Allen street, Manhattan, found a it of the stolen property In a cleaner's place r.innon street and in the home of Max Lew at 3.12 East 4th street. Part of rood! found in Lew's nlace was identified as the proceeds of the three jrooKiyn ronrjenes. end Levy and his vife, Yetta, were arrested.

Mrs. Levy vas discharged by the magistrate then Ittting In the Essex Market nollce court. but her husband was held. The woman vas, later, good enough to Identify Kinder and Bradhenberg as two of the men vho brought the clothing to her house, "he result of the discovery of the prop-rty and Mrs. Lew's disclosures to the police was the arrest of half a dozen men who are said to have been concerned in the burglaries in Manhattan and Brook- yn.

"Lefty" Is said by the detectives to noted as a loft burglar. He denies the harge.

"Where, upon such application, it appears to the court that by reason of the importance or Intricacy of the case, a spo.bal jury Is required, or that the subject-matter of the indictment or the ue to be tried has been so wldelv mented upon that tbs court Is satisfied that an ordinary Jury cannot, without delay and difficulty, be ctjtalned to try such Issues, or that for any other reason the due. efficient and impartial administration of Justice in the particular case would be advanced by the trial of such an Issue by a special Jury, the court to which ihe motion is made may make an order directing that such trial be had by a special jury, and such trial shall be had accordingly." It will be observed that the statute specifies In the disjunctive different reasons for granting the application. Eliminating all but the one deemed to be particularly applicable to thin case, the statute would read as follows: "Where upon such application, it appears to the court that by reason, of the importance of the case a special Jury is reouircd. the court to which the motion is made may make an order, direct. Ing that such trial be had by a special jury, and such trial shall be had accordingly." The learned justice before whom tin- motion was made was of the opinion that the case was important, but denied the motion upon the grounds not neces sity to comment upon furtner tnan to say that they would preclude the drawing of a special jury in any case.

"The reason for granting a special jury, now under consideration. Is expressed by the statute tne language round in section 1063 of the Code of Civil Procedure which provides for a struck Jury. A similar statute was passed in this state al early as 1801. (See Laws of 1801, Chap ter 98. Section 22.) It was early held in this state that a case of public interest was Important within the meaning of the statute, and it was the settled rnle to mil.

a struck jury in actions by public oni-ials 'or llbei respecting omciai cor duct. It has lately been held bv thi uurt in the First Department, that that mln sustained bv both reason and au. thority, and should' still be followed. (Je rome vs. lorn evening journal run.

124 App. Dlv. 372.) The opinion of Mr Justice Laughlin rites the early cases, and comments upon the case of Adams vs. Morgan (21 N. Y.

Supp. 1057), which is cited bv the respondent on this appeal as authority for the contention that a different rule prevails in this department. As noted by Mr. Justice Laughlin, the General Term In this department was of the opinion that the Adams case was important only to the Immediate parties. cannot be said that the present case is Important only to the immediate parties.

The public are interested In the Investigation of a charge that so Important a 1ms faeen personally Interested In city Manv facts are adduced by the appelant in sunnort of the claim that the ease intricate. If the case Is Important within the moaning nf the statute. It is unnecessary to enter Into the consideration ihe merits of that claim. The decision upon the grouirl of Its Importance as as of Its intricacy, and. as already 11-ved.

either ground suffices for the granting of the motion.
