Albany. April 20 (SpeciaD-Even the state senate
raf,ses to pass Senator Ellsworth's grab for the
patronage of the Niagara Reservation commits
sion Mr. Ellsworth attempted at a conference OF
the Republican Senators this morning to have this
bill made a party measure, but nine-tenths OF the
members present refused to support him.
When the biz was announced in the Senate later
in the day, Senator Ellsworth had II set aside
This meant that he foresaw its defeat If ne should
press H. The Senators are all well aware that be-
sides being a grab for the patronage, the measure
is intended as a punishment of the Niagara Reser-
walton Commission for defending the reservation
from vandals and the Niagara River from having
its water diverted by power companies
