RAINES BILL IS URGENT.
GOV. BLACK MAKES II sUCH IN a
MESSAGE TO THE SENATE.

Governor Fnvors the BiII-April "a FlHed
as tho Date OF Adjournment-senntor Grady
freaks Out on the Anti-Trust nils.
ALBANY, April Gov. Black sent 10 the
Senate to-day a brief. message certifying to.the
urgency of the bill embodying the Raines law
amendments. Under the Constitution this OBJ.
viates the requirement that the bill shall be
threo days upon the members' desks In Its final
form before It. can be passed. Tho measure
will probably pass the Senate on Tuesday. and
the Assembly caucus will be held the same
night. Gov. Blacks MESSAGE is regarded as a
sure indication that he favors the amendments
just az they stand, and II is believed that he
will sign tho bill promptly when IL reaches him
next week.
When the message was read in the senate
SenatorsCantor, the Democratic leader, de-
clared that tho Governors interference In such
a matter was u~nwarrantable and was intended
to. drive the Republicans in both Houses into
line on the-amendments.
We're all 10 line now" remarked Senator
Malby.
Senator Cantor ATTEMPTED to continue his
speech, but was cut of by q point of order
from Senator Rhines that no motion was be-
fore the house. Senator Cantor then moved to
refer the message to the Committee on Taxation
and Retren chment. but Senator Ellsworth de-
clared that a message of.this sort was not refer
able. He was sustained by tho Chair. and the
Democratic leader subsidized.
Senator Grady attempted to-day to show
that he is q bigger and more bloodtbirsty trust
hunter than either Cantor or Loxow. He started
in when Senator Ellsworth moved the adoption
Of the concurrent resolution providing for fual
adjournment on April "a. Grady protested
against ordering o final adjournment until tho
Lexow Antitrust bill had been acted upon.
He declared his BELIEF that the Republicans did
not intend to BASS the bills. which arc still in
Lexnw's Judiciary Committee.
Senator'S Cantor and Lexow were both
aroused by Grady's attemp: TO steal their
thunder, and declared that there was plenty Of
time TO pass the bills. and that they would cor
tainly DO passed. Senator Ellsworth assured
senatorsGr>dy that.he would have q chance TO
vote'on the bills. The final adjournment resolu-
ton was then adopted by a vote of 80 to 4.Grady
and three of his colleagues voting against IL.
Later GU Senator Grady broke out again and
moved that the Judiciary Committee be in
structed TO report the antitrust bills on
Wednesday. Senators Ellsworth and Lexow op-
posed the motion, saving that the bills were
Of great Importance, and the committee should
have plenty Of time in which TO consider them.
Senator Ellsworth moved to lay the motion on
the table. and this was agreed to by a strict
party vote of 10 to o.
Tho Governor withdrew the nomination of
George Fl. Blaokmnn of wellsville to be a true-
tee of the Soldiers Home al Bath. and nomi-
mated Isaac w. sprill OF PcuGhke~psie instead.
The nomination was referred I, the Finance
Committee, and a similar disposition was made
of the nominations OF Russell Hedley and
Howard Thornton of Newburg as trustees Of
tho Washington Home. which were also sent
in by the Governor this morning.
