cording to schedule this afternoon.

after an executive session of the
Committee on Organization. 1t was an

taken to May 90. at p. NJ, to give the
farmers a chance to come in and sub
scribe.

Resolved That we. the milk producers belong
ing TO the Housatonic Milk Producers Associa i
ton, do not approve Of the manner in which the
New York Milk Exchange is being formed. That

GREATER CITY SAFE,
So Says Lexow, if Its Friends Are
Not Panic. Stricken.
Would Stay In Albany All Summer
Rather than Yield.
The Senator an Optinlist Also on
Police Reorganization.

Senator Lexow was in a heroic frame
OF mind this morning. and said:
II shall fight to prolong the session
Of the Legislature all Summer. unless
the Police Reorganization bill and the
Greater New York bill are passed"
What chances are there for the
Greater New York bill going through
without a referendum"
II know that the chances are ex-
cellent; in fact, that the bill in its
present form will become a law unless
its friends grow panic stricken and
consent to referendum answered
the Senator. "Why. the fight is just
beginning, but still some of the Greater
New York advocates are willing to sur
render the most important feature.
"A referendum" he went on, means
defeat tor the Greater New YORK
scheme. 1t means that the new charter
shall be submitted to vote of the peo-
pie. 1t is beyond the power OF man to
prepare charter to suit so many. BE.

Brooklyn has money to spend by the
thousands and with no such influence
on the other side. the charter would be
but you can say as coming from me"
added the Senator, Il have assurances
that the Greater New York bill will yet
pass. unless killed by its friends becom-
DUN amendment"
do you still think the Police Reor-
sanitation bill viii go through?'
land II 1t doesn't win soon, we will stay
at Albany until ii does, even If 1t takes
all Summer" .. Ar..- .sf'.
Senator Lexow thought the reformers
Of New York were inconsistent, in not
accepting the Ainsworth Police bill.
which was disapproved by the Mayor.
THAT BILL he said, placed all re-
sponsibility on the Chief, just as was
desired, and provided for trial by court
martial, which is a pet idea of DR..
Parkhurst 1t went even further than
the Xxx. s bill. But it didn't come
from a reformer. so it was opposed"
Z. us Il likely the bill will be passed
over the Mayors disapproval?' was
asked.
II don't think So" was Mr.. Lexow s
parting reply.
