SENATOR HILL MUM.
Will Not Say Whether He Is
Coaching Gov. Flower.
Refuses to Answer the Criticisms
OF Newspa PES
All Public Questions, lie Snys, He
Answers in Public.

Senator David u. Hill is at the Hotel
Normandie to-day. He came down from
Albany last night and says he viii re-
main in town probably over Sunday and
then return to Washington.
During his recent stay in Albany the
senior Senator Is credited with having
coached the Governor as to the manner
In which he should dispose OF the Re
fern bills which have been brought up
for final action by the Legislature within
the past day or two.
II is quite clear that Gov. Flowers
veto of the Ballot Reform bill, which
was made public before the bill had
reached him. and which had evidently
been prepared some time in advance.
bore the marks of Senator HIS fine
Italian hand, and they even say that the
Senator was the sole author of that doc
ument.
However that may be, Senator Hill
was as mum as the Sphinx when an
Evening World' reporter called upon
him this morning at the Normandie and
gave him an opportunity to express his
views on legislative matters at Albany,
as we'll n affairs at the National capital;
Have you anything to say in regard
to the Governors veto Of the Ballot
bill?" he was asked.
Il never discuss any public measures
in the newspapers said The senator

interest | say 1t publicly and try to ex-
press my views thoroughly and clearly:
"Is 1t rue that you prepared that veto
message. Senator, as has been stated?'
Il never reply to flippant criticism In
the newspapers" replied the Senator
almly. you must excuse me.
"Wili you say whether or not you are
opposed to the other reform measures
the Legislature?"
II can say nothing more than l have
already said. and ! do not wish to be
"''-' as saying anything upon that sub
ject" 4

gard 90 the. future of the Tariff bill In
the Senate
Il have nothing further to say upon
that subject. / have already expressed
my opinions fully in regard to the
measure. and Its future rests with the
Senate
All further attempts to draw the Sen
ator out were futile. He refused to an
swer any of the statements which have
been publicly made with regard to his
influence upon the Governors action as
Il result Of his recent visit to Albany:
IL am going to be in New York for a
some private law business, which will
occupy all my time. l expect to be back
in Washington again on Monday.
1t is rumored that an important con-
ference between Senator HIN and some
Of the leaders OF the local Democracy
will take place during his stay, in town.
but he Senator received no visitors OF
prominence this morning. The reporter
found him seated on one OF the lounges
ing papers, Of which he had purchased
large stock.

RESPONSIBLE FOR BROcKWAY.

The bill empowering the Governor to
remove the Superintendent of reforma-
tory and other institutions except State
prisons and lunatic asylums was killed
In the Senate yesterday
The reasons given for the defeat were
sound and sufficient The bill was well
known to be intended only to reach the
Brockway case. and the Senate declared
It a scandal to the State and an outrage
on humanity that the Elmira infamy
should be allowed to go unchecked. But
It was insisted that the Governor now
has the power In his hands to remove
the managers, thus reaching the brutal
Superintendent. and that It would be far
cical to remove Brockway and let the
managers remain.
This puts the responsibility where II
belongs, on Governor Flower, and the
people OF the State will understand that
Brockway Is only retained In his ill-uset
power through the grace and favor OF
the Governor.

Police Captain Cortright Begging to
Be Transferred.
Taking No Chances and Working
His Men to the Utmost.

That DR.. Parkhurst and the agents Of
his society are making the lives Of po-
lice captains anything but pleasant ones
is emphatically exemplified through GER
tain facts which leaked out at Police
Headquarters this morning.
Capt. Moses W. Cortright, Of the Ed
ridge street station, IT Is we'll known,
has been before the Police Commission
ers earnestly requesting them to re-
lieve him of the command of the Ed
rdg street station. The Captain has
made the request on several different
occasions, but as yet the favor has not
been granted.
The Commissioners have not been able
10 agree as to who they should transfer
to this station to relieve Capt. Cort-
wright. Two captains from uptown pre-
cincts have been thought Of who are
among the class of precinct command
ers known as cautious men, whose anxi-
ETY. to enforce the law has been, and
now is, the means Of keeping their SUBJ
ordinates in hot water.

Farmer Emmons considers himself

men came along on Tuesday and said
tn eywanted to dispose of some Valu-
able mortgages at a sacrifice, being in

The mortgages were produced, and

terdon County farms, bit eagerly. Driv-
ing over to the bank at Somerville, he

to the house, where the men were wait
ing. They took the cash, and placing
themortgages in a tin box. locked 1t

new BABY INCUBATOR.
To he Tried In the POSTGRADUATE
Hospital Babies Ward.

A new and improved baby incubator is
to be added to the paraphernalia of the
Post Graduate Hospitals babies ward.
1t Is provided with all sorts OF attach
ments, safeguards, automatic indicators
and other arrangements, and 1t Is ex-
pected that with It's aid the prematurely
born infant will have good chance for
life.
The variations In the weight of an in
cubator baby are of vital Importance and
one OF the faults OF all former incubators
has been that the babe had to be lifted
out of Its nest to be weighed, the process
necessarily risking exposure to a tiny
draught that might fan out the frail little
life. In the newest incubator the baby
lies on a mattress that rests on pair OF
delcately balanced scales.
All parts OF the incubator are of metal
| or glass, giving no chance for the alb
sorption of germs. An aluminium fan,
| operated by clockwork, ingentously con-
| trived, forces the air into the machine,
where It is heated by an alcohol lamp,
and an thermometer tells just how fast 1t
| Is circulating. and by means OF hampers
the supply can be regulated to a nicely.
