JOYCE ALREADY OUT BY LEGAL PROVISION

i    Startling Discovery Made By Lawyers   In   Hearing   Of '        Case Against Senator
[ OLD LAW CHANGED
Appointment Taken From Pi:esident Judge And Power Vested With Entire Body
WHOLE BOARD ILLEGAL
At tho conclusion of a legal areru- ment before Judges Fuller, McL<oan, Jones and CouKhUn on Friday after¬ noon in thc proceedings that havo been brought to oust Senator P. F. Joyce froni tho Ransom Poor Dlfitrl<;t board, Attorneys W. A. Valentino and Her¬ man A- Goldberg were shocked to learn that under tho provisions of an Act of Assembly passed In 1915 all the ap¬ pointments made to the Ransom dis¬ trict were made in violation of the law.
Tho ouster proceedings against Sen¬ ator Joyce were brought many months ago by Attorney General WoodrufC as a result of a petition flled in the iittomey-general's oflflce by John J. Kehoe of Plttston.
In the original petition It Is contend¬ ed that Senator Joyce la sci-vlng as a poor director In plain violation of tho follow Ing provision of the Constitution ^of  rennsylvanla:
M    "No senator or representative «hall, ^Jdurlng   the  tlmo  for  which  ha shall
iVe been elected, be appointed to any under the United States or this fcommon wealth."
This was deemed sufflcient to ou.^t Senator Joyce and his attorneys con¬ tend that it was regarded by. the ap¬ pointing power, as Senator Joyco con¬ tinues to serve without reappointment since the expiration of hla term soveral years ago.
, During the argument on Friday, Attorney Valentine flashed beforo tho court a law recently pushed through the legislature by Senator Joyce's Harrlsburff supporter.i as a last effort to save for hlni hi.'* place on the Ran¬ som boanl. Under this law any municipal offlcer, elected or appointed, would contlnuo to servo until his suc¬ cessor is duly elected or appointed.
Attorneys in charge of the ouster proceedings believo this law Is un¬ worthy of consideration, as Senator Joyce is serving In violation of the Constitution of the Commonwealth. An Amended Act
Neither side seemed to be familiar with the aet of 1915, which makes It very clear that neither Senator Joyco nor Ills colleagues in control of thc Ransom Iward ure serving legally. Tlie law of 1915 i.s very clear on the man¬ ner of appointing directors of the Ransom district. This law Li an amendment to the original act of 1857 and gives the power of appointment to the entire court and not the presi¬ dent Judge.
The act of 1915 Is an amendment to ^ the act of 1857, the year ^n which the - district known as the Ransom district * was created.
Uniler this amendment the president Judge has authority to make the orig¬ inal appointments hut has no more to do with succeeding appointments, when terms expire, than the other Judges. The power Is vested la the court as a whole.
The law of 1915, the latest govern¬ ing the selection of directors for. tho Ransom district, is as follows:
*'An Act to amend an Act. approved
the eighth day of May, one thousand
eight hundred and flfty-geven, entitled

Ouster Ordered In Amended Act
Automatic ousting of Senator F. F. Joyce from the board of direct¬ ors of Ransom Poor Di-strlct Is foreseen In discovery of an amcnd- meat to the legislative act that created the position, the amend¬ ment coming to light through legal proceedings tnken to nccompli'^h Iho samo object. The amendment lakes away from the president judge of Lfuzeme coimty court the ripht of fllllng a vacancy and vesta power in the court en banc. The amendment reads:
"The said board of directors shall consist of ono director from tl»c territory originally included in Jen¬ kins township; one director from the city of Piitston, formerly the borough of Plttston; onc director from the territory originally in¬ cluded in Plttston township; ono director from the territory origin¬ ally Included In the township of Lackawanna; ono director from the bot-oufTh of Duryea: and two di¬ rectors from tho district at large, l^pon tho approval of this net the president Judge of the court of common pleas of -^jUzt-ne county shall appoint one director from the borough of Duryea and one direct¬ or at large, to serve for a term of four years.
"Hereafter, when tho term of any director oxpires THE COl'RT shall appoint one director from the proper territory, district or bor¬ ough, to servo for a term of four years. Any vacancy In the hoard shall l>o fliled by the snid Judges, by the appointment of a director Crom the proper district, territory or borough, or city, for the unex- 411 red term.

CARROLL HAS CHANCE TO ESCAPE SENTENCE

ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER
Washington. April 0—UP—Whether Karl Carroll, youthful New York theatrical producer, will serve his 366 day perjury sentence in Atlanta peni¬ tentiary depends upon I'resldent Coolidge.
The Justice Department revealed today it wns preparing a brief for the President in the ca.se after Carroll's friends had appealed through the de¬ mand  for  the   executive   clemency.
The President can pardon Carroll, commute his sentence, free him with a fine, or determine that he mu.st serve his time as decreed finally by the United States Supreme Court re¬ cently.
GIRLS USING BRIDGE PUT UNDER ARREST
As part of a determined campaign to break up the practice of pedestrians' using the railroad bridge at Port Bowkley. ofllcers Gabriel and Stlne of the local Lehigh Valley pwllce under Captain Vi. S. Hennlg arrested eight employees of the Genemi Cigar Com¬ pany, of Forty Fort, when they were caught walking the iHidge yesterday aftemoon.
The offenders, who were Mary Se- bulski, Antonette MaUg. Mary Cher- esko, Anna Chepulo, Nora Segarlski. Sofio Marko, Mary Maggoa and John Rampola. uU residents of Plains Town¬ ship, were Immediately arraigned be- ^rc Alderman Frank ^ro^^'n, city, and Jncd $2.oO and costs each. There wun default of puyment in each cast, but action will be taken and commitments made to the county jail should the flnes not bc paid withm flve days or
appeals from the flnes taken to court.
As htated by the Irfhigh Vulley po¬ lice last night, walking the railroad bridge in question is not only Illegal tre.-*pass but is an extremely danger¬ ous practice. There is no footwalk on either side of the track across the bridge, making it very probable that a r>ede»tr1an caught midway of tti*. bridge by a train would be either kill¬ ed by the tmin or drowned. The rail¬ road |H>lice promise that they will not relent in their action against trespass¬ ers nnd if neces.sary more severe measures will be tuken.
The testimony yesterday called to attention the fact thut the General Crgar Compan> i."; t'ooi>eraling in an effoit to prevent.it.** employees risking life and limb on this bridge, in the fact that tt provides a bus fi>r em¬ ployees living In the Plains district tu rkle to aod from woik. al half priCe.

Death result from pernicious aenemlu. The news of Mr. Aston's death came as a shock to his liimdreds of friend.^ throughout Wyoming Valley. Two years ago he suffered a decline in health, although at times It was bo¬ lieved that he was on his way to n complete recovery. About two week.s ago it was necessary for Mr. Aston to be confined to his home. On Frtday he became unconscious ami never rallied.
Mr. Aston was bom In Kngland in 1871. He was the son of Mr. nnd Mrs. Job Aston and cii^o to Wilkes- Barro ten years following and attend¬ ed the public schools. l.,jiter he wns responsible for the organization of A.ston Brothers, contractors In which firm he became s«»oretary and treas- iirer.

He wa.»- tir^t elected to the house In 1917, running on a law and order platform. His majority was sweeping, indicating the .strength of his candidacy as well as the support that he had received from the right thinking citizens of the rWy. Mr. Aston was su>>sequpntlv reelected, ^serving as a me*nt>er in the sessions of the House of Representatives in 1917, 1921. 1323 and a part of tha pretwnt Ne.Hslon which will adjourn fthortly after Kaster.

The anthracite Industry, \^hicll ha.- been In a slump for thc past three months, has ngaln struck Its stride und. according *.o coal rompuny of¬ flcials. full tlmo at the mines Is looked forward to during thc summer months. ! I'raclicully evcM y coal compuny, large und small, has' been operating on a curtailed hiisis since Januury 1, but tho whistles ut every openitlon are schediiletl to sound the clarion for work on Monday morning.
There aro several elements contrio- uting to tho ttablllzallon of the sn- j thracito coal markets. Tho first and j most important factor waa the an¬ nouncement of the cut In the price of I coal. Several compnnlcs mndo prlco i cuts in the past several months, Theso jciits stimulated the buying of coal by I largo dealers In the principal cities.
Tho next factor In the stahlllTntlon of the Industry is the opening of the |Oreat hakes trafllc, which will permit jthe quick shipment of coal to tho mid¬ dle western states. Ordinarily the Ice does not move out of tho lakes beforo the latter part of April. This element of trade had been somewlmt neglected since the last striko lK?cnusc of tho lateness in which empty cars were rr.- | turned. Following tho termination of the strike ftoal was sent to tidewater direct becauso it meant a quick re¬ turn In empty cars and assured thc .steady operution of thc mines.
The Ihifvl element in tho re.storatlon of thc coal markets is thft recent an¬ nouncement l>y the Interstate Com¬ merce CommLs.slon that freiglit rates from lluffulo to western points bave Ijeen sulistuntiully reducol. Combining this fact with the pric*? cut at the mines wlll Increaan the demund for coal at dl.stant points. Numerous or¬ ders havo also l>e<m received from ter¬ ritory which formerly lised MInmlnous coal but which cannot obtain the; usual fuel due to the strike of thc eoft coal minera.
