ALBANY DOINGS,
The Platt Men Agree to Amendments t.
the Police Bills.


the Police Bills.
ALBANY, March 2S-On the eve OF
what has promised 10 be the greatest no
litical battle seen for years in the senate
arena the Platt forces in the legislature
succumbed SO far To the bold assaults
of the independent element that they have
agreed To amend both the police reorgani
cation bill and the bipartisan police bill.
All day long the two forces fought for su-
premnCy, and pressure Of the most remark.
able kind was brought to bear to compel
the Republicans to support the bills.
1t was determined as soon as the ses
sion was over yesterday that there should
be caucus called, but OF the first five
mon asked to come in there We're four who
refused ON the ground that there was no
need Of further action by caucus Both
Lcxow and Lauterlach were very much
exercised at this. and finally after more
consultations with the governor and the
lieutenant governor 1t was decided that
the only way in which the bills could be
passed was to accept some of tho amend
meutS.
1t was decided to- allow the mayor al
ways TO appoint the commissioners and so
do away with the elective feature of the
present bill This amendment in n meas
urc does away with some II the opposi-
ton, but not all, and it is Believed that a
bitter fight will Cnsuo over the right of ap-
peal for patrulmen. 1t is possible that
there are enough vut>'s to pass an amend
mont giving the mayor the right to listen
to appeals Tho bills under today's ar
rangcment cannot be put ON final passage
until Wednesday OF next week.

The receipts of ordinary postal revenue

NO MORE A PRoHIBITIONIST
Governor Morrill, Tells Why He Favors
State Control o Saloons.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 27.-(Special)-
The position taken by Governor MOI
riIl on the principle Of prohibition was
the subject of a great deal OF COM
ment here today, especially among the
prohibition element. Many of them de-
nounced him and boldly stated that he
has been frightened by the Mystic
Brotherhood, an organization started
in Wichita and brought into existence
by his own short-sighted and cruel pol
icy toward that city. The actual m
terview, which Mr.. Morrill, had with a
Kansas City Times correspondent is as
follows, and il is said that he gave II TO
the paper purposely 50 as 10 get IL 10
reach tne anti-prohibition element, the
element he has abused most in the state
while he thought the prohibiuonists
were in the majority:
Il am a temperance man, ne SAID
70 the Times correspondent, but l have
come 10 the conclusion that prohibi-
ton is not the instrument OF reform
which its friends thought IL would be
when they voted 1t into the constitu-
ton. When people want liquor they
will find way to buy il. Appetite can
not be regulated by statute. l would
like TO see the state in control or the
LIQUOR traffic. Then people who must
have liquor could purchase a pure ar
ticie from the state. This would do
away with the saloons and reduce drum
kenness.'
The governor said that he had been
thinking along this line for some time,
but had not agreed with himself in re-
gard to the details of his scheme. How
ever" he continued. Il am sure that
such a system would push forward the
cause of temperance. Temperance ad-
vocates could work the moral suasion
plan under this system. They can't do
il now because anti-prohibitionists
laugh at them when they are at il and
point to the prohibitery law, which is
not enforced. Then, apparently as
their only recourse, the temperance ad-
vocates come to me and demand the
know how 1t is. 1t is the same old story.
Il is easy to enforce the law when pub
lie sentiment favors it's enforcement.
When public sentiment is the other way
it is next TO impossible to do it,
The governor declared that he was
an enemy of the open saloon, and did
not want to be understood as opposing
the work of any temperance society. He
simply believed the state control OF the
liquor traffic would bring better results
for the temperance cause than prohibi-
ton. IF / have occasi 10 make an
other temperance speech" the COVER
nor said, Il will talk for state control" :"
Governor NORTH also is an opponent
of the metropolitan police system. THE
law creating this system he said, is
the cause of most Of the trouble in the
large cities. The legislature ought 10
have had the courage to repeal the law
last winter. j have the power to abol-
ish the system and sometimes 1 feel like
doing ii. / guess the reason / don't is
because / am opposed to the one-man
mower idea "
