WEEKES DEFENDS MARRIAGE LAW
HE OPPOSES ANY AMENDMENT. AND SAYS
PRESENT STATUTE AMPLY PRO
TECTS WOMEN.

Albany, Jan. 16 (SpeciaD.-Assemblyman John H
Fitzpatrick introduced bill to-day amending the
Weekes Contract Marriage law TO provide
that the officer executing the contract must file it
at fee of 81. Mr.. Fitzpatrick believes that such
an amendment will strengthen the law, TO
prevent fraud the part of a husband who intends
deceive his wife, and afterward TO declare that
there had been marriage because contract
had been filed
John a Weekes the author of the law sought
to be amended. has received many suggestions
along this line from persons who believe that a
contract of marriage under the present law is in
secure that he gave out a statement to-day main

BROOKLYN'S COUNTY OFFICES.
BILLS MAKING THEM SALARIED NOT RE-
PASSED OVER VAN WYCK's VETO
GOVERNOR APPEALED To.

Albany, Jan. 16.-The allegation made at yes
terday's hearing before Judge Marean OF the
Supreme Court. in Brooklyn that the bills MAX
ing the offices of County Clerk Sheriff and
Register salaried. instead of fee offices, were
unconstitutional has caused much comment
here The suit result of which an fnjunc-
ton restraining the payment of salaries has
been Issued. is brought by Thomas McCirath.
In his application ne alleged that bills Nos
704. 705 and 7O6 had been passed by the legis-
lature and sent to Mayor Van wyck for action
on April 9, and had been returned by him. dis
approved. on April %. the day the legislature
adjourned. Ii is charged in the papers that the
bills were never repassed by the legislature The
order of injunction calls for an argument upon
the matter of making the injunction permanent
January 20
II is admitted in Albany that the bills were
not repassed. The clerks Of the Senate and As
sembly hold that mistake was made in send
ing the bills to Mayor Van Wyck They con-
tend that they were county and not city bills
and that there was no need of submitting them
for the Mayors approval. The Governor said
tonight that he did not see how he could inter
fere- He declared that the questions involved
were entirely of law, and said he could not do
anything until the courts had acted.
Governor Odell was asked tonight 20 use his
authority to end the controversy existing be-
tween the Kings County officials and the Civil
Service Commission. 1t has been alleged that
all of the officers under the direction OF the
County Clerk. Sheriff and Register should be
placed in the exempt class. 1t is urged that, as
all OF the positions are semi-confdential, they
should be classed nOncoTnpetitive. The Civil
Service Commission held that the officers were
in the competitive class, and called examna-
tion for January %. Already more than eight
hundred applications have been filed.
The Governor late this afternoon telegraphed
the Civil Service Commission to call the exam
inaton of. He asked that the Civil Service
Commission meet with the OflCials-eleCt
January 81 and discuss the question. Until
that time he insists action should be taken.

CIRCUIT SUGGESTS WAY TO BUY HORSES
HE INFORMS HEADS or DEPARTMENTS
THAT CONTRACTS MUST BE BY
PUBLIC LETTING.

Controller Grout yesterday sent a letter to the
heads OF all departments stating that after Fcbru-
airy, unless constrained by contrary opinion OF
the Corporation Counsel. he would refuse audit
any bills OF 81 900 the purchase OF horses
by contract without public letting.
The Controller finds awaiting audit a number OF
bills for the purchase OF horses private sale in
sums Of less than 5000 tor each BILL but where
the aggregate amount in any month is much
in excess of the $1,000 limit These bills he will
audit. since they incurred apparently in good
faith He will pursue like course IN regard 20
purchases made In January, 1902 He suggests
that heads Of departments confer as TO a uniform
contract and specifications for the purchase Of
horses for city use. It seems to him that such
a contract could easily cover years supply re-
Quired for any department,
The opinion of eX-CorporatIon Counsel Whalen
which Controller GrOut practically overrules said
II it is feasible to purchase horses by a contract
made at public letting, il is preferable to do So
Mr.. Grout said prominent horse dealer who
sold the city a great many horses, told him that
IL was just easy TO sell horses on contract at
public letting otherwise

NEW FRANCHISE TAX ACT
SENATOR DONNELLY WANTS THE
ORIGINAL FORD BILL ADOPTED.

Albany, Jan. 16.-The feature of to-days legis-
Iative proceedings was the introduction by Senator
Donnelly, OF New-York of bill which is the coun-
terpart OF the original Ford Franchise measure
which passed the legislature in 1899 and which
classed all kinds of franchises as real estate and
made them assessabre as such by the local assess
ors After the session of 1899 Governor Roosevelt
called an extraordinary session and had the bill
amended by giving the State Tax Commission
power to levy the assessment on the franchises
and stripping the local assessors of that power.
My for taking the original Ford bill
should be understood in the beginning" said Sen
ator DonneIly. The original Ford bill, which
seek to re-enact provides that all franchises shall
be deemed real estate. and il leaves the manner
of collection of taxes to the operation of the
in the local assessors and the localities will re-
ceve the benefit to be derived from the taxation
Whatever may be the objections against the
Ford measure in its original form. there certainly
be nothing said against its constitutionality
Its strength lies in its simplicity The reason
for tacking the amendments to the original BILL
which took from the local assessors the power OF
was that Tammany Hall would the power TO
blackmail corporations. II is unnecessary for me
to say that there was no foundation for the charge
W neither true or raise, that argument cannot De
again advanced, for Tammany Hall is longer in
control of the affairs of the city of New-Tork *
have introduced the original Ford bill Ford
drew 1t, with the addition of a section which
peals Chapter III of the laws of 1899. This would
In effect be enactment of the original Ford BILL
and would repeal the amendments that were sub
sequently added.
If. however. it is necessary to amend the repeal
law, that can be done in committee. The original
Ford measure, in my opinion, tends in great
measure TO solve the problem of taxation in New
York, and TO equalize taxation 1t taxes property
and does not tax debt

Albany Jan. 16 (SpeciaD.-In line with the recon-
mendations laid down in the Governors message
for the suppression far possible of anarchlstc

Weekes. of NewYork, introduced bill IN the
lower house to-day. The bill provides that the
maximum penalty imposed for the attempt
TO commit a crime. whose accomplishment is pun

measure which will be passed.

Flsberg introduced a resolution in the Senate.
which asked that the Judiciary Committee of the
upper house draft bill to prevent as far as pos
siblc. the recurrence Of such tragedy as that
enacted last fall at Buffalo
1t learned later that in the opinion OF the
Governor IT is not in harmony with the spirit Of
the republic to distinguish between the lives Of
any OF its citizens hold the life of a President
a Governor of any greater value and Importance
than that Of any human being.

NEw-RocHELLE APPEALS TO oDELL
DELEGATION RECEIVES ASSURANCE OF
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF
TITNNEI ACCIDENT

Albany Jan 16- delegation of citizens of New
Rochelle headed h, hssemblyman Wainwright and
ex-AsssrnbIyma Carlisle called on Governor Odell
to-day in relation to the tunnel disaster in New
York. They told the Governor that they desired
him to charge the State Board of Railroad Com
missioners TO make as thorough and stringent
investigation of the disaster possible, and not
only to recommend what steps should be taken for
the permanent improvement of the tunnel, but to
suggest, the investigation develops, such
changes as may be necessary TO remove any ele-
ments of danger that may exist in the tunnel pend
ing the permanent improvement.
The Governor told the delegation that the board
had already been instructed to make a thorough
inquiry. and that he knew that il would be done.
The Governor asked if he would recommend
shy legislation to bring about changes in the tun-
mel He said that he did not know enough about

CENTRAL OFFICIALS SILENT.
NOTHING TO ADD TO WEDNESDAYS
ANNOUNCEMENT OF PLANS.

The officials of the New-York Central had
bothing to add yesterday to the announcement
made Wednesday of the plans for doing away
with the Park-ave. tunnel problem. w. H.
Newman. president of the New-York Central
said that the directory would have nothing
to announce at present. w. ]. Wilgus,
chief engineer, would not say what system of
electrical motive power would be adopted or
when the work of changing the tunnel and
building the underground loop would be started.
There are many questions that the public
would like have answered, but when these
questions were asked yesterday the officials Of
the New-York Central had nothing to say. The
first question was what electrical system would
be adopted. There was answer to this one
official explaining:
Some time must elapse before the proper
authority can be secured from the State and
city to make the changes proposed. That will
give time TO make tests of various systems and
the best and most available system will be Sc
1eeted when the time comes"
Another question was as to what would be
the terminal points of the electrical equipment
on the various branches of the suburban lines
No answer could be obtained, but it sug
gested that White Plains. on the Harlem
branch; Yonkers. on the Putnam and Green
wich on the New-Haven, would doubtless be
the points of electrical terminals. This is also
undecided.
Another point suggested is that now that the
main tunnel is to be used for steam it would
be better to retain the masonry walls, as they
would prevent smoke, steam and Vapor from
penetrating into the side chambers, which are
TO be used for suburban traffic electrically pro-
PEELED. The answer to this was that the work Of
removing the masonry and substituting struct-
ural steel was being done by order of the Board
of Health and no change could be made.
II was announced by engineers Of the New
York Central yesterday that connection would
be made direct between its proposed under
ground suburban terminal and the underground
station of the subway at Forty-second-st
II may be that connection VIII also De mace
by tunnel with the new Pennsylvania terminal In
West Thirty third-st when that improvement is
completed. ,
Health Commissioner Lederle told q tribune
reporter Yesterday that he not particularly
interested in enforcing the order passed by his
predecessors compelling the New-Hork central
Railroad to remove the side walls separating the
east and west tracks from the main tunnel.

railroad" said he. the day before the accident
They represented that they had been TO con-
siderable expense IN this work, and consented
20 allow them to try the plan on section be-
tween Fifty-seventh and SiXty-second SITS But
personally / do not think much Of the plan.
The two outside tracks have always been more
easily choked with steam and smoke, and since
the order was issued the railroad officials have
been trying to concentrate the traffic on the
two inside tracks"
