ALBANY. March 2s.-There has been some
talk recently that the Legislature may not
adjourn until the week following April II.
Last year, because Gov. Odcll was operating
on an economy platform. the members re-
ceived but few appropriations for their
localities. This year there Ii . bigger de-
mand than ever for money for local State
institutions, canal bridges. culverts. slope
walls, armores, all kinds Of canal improve
ments and the dredging Of creeks. and It IL
for this reason that the date OF final ad-
tournament Ia uncertain.
So far the only appropriation bills that
have gone through have been for absolutely
necessary fixed charges and improve
ments, and they aggregate only Nl7.OOo.
A IL IL expected that this Legislature will
appropriate about s2s 900 against t2?,.
100000 last year. and AZ the annual ap-
preparation and supply bills will carry only

Drastic Provisions IN the Biil on Order Of
Third Ueading IN the Assembly.

pvsstic Provisions IN the Biil on Order Of
Third Readins In the Assembly.
ALBANY, March 2s.-Dr. William z. Mil
bank. president Of the Albany Automobile
Club and . member Of the executive COM
mittes Of the national body, has called
attention. TO what he believes will mean
the death OF automobiling. II The bill in
troduced by Senator Bailey and Assembly,
man q. W. Doughty Of Nassau county
becomes. q law. The bill Is supposed to be
the result Of compromise between Mr..
Doughty and, Albert r. Shattuck. presi-
dent Of the Automobile Club Of America.
The amended bill is thought to be even
more drastic than when II was first in
troduced.
One OF the provisions OF the bill to which
the greatest objection Is raised provides
that upon the request Of Q person who
u driving team the operator Of an auto
mobile shall cause his engine TO stop as
long a. may be necessary to allow the
horses TO pass. r..t
The provision Is to apply to automobiles
going either In the same or in an opposite
directions No objection would be made
to this II 1t applied to automobiles going
In an opposite direction, but when going
in the same direction taken by driver Of
horses It would place the automobilists
at the mercy Of the driver, who could COM
pei the automobiles to follow him or ne
main behind his wagon as long as he saw fit.
II Is commended that the provision that
no automobile shall pass a person driving
at o rata of speed faster than eight miles
an hour is foolish one. II 10 pointed out
that horse which Is frightened by an
automobile would have his fright further
increased II the machine was TO pass him
ct SLOW rate Of speed, and while the auto
mobile u st his side he would try to get
away from IL. with the result that he would
take the wagon and driver into the ditch,
whereas II the automobile should 60 by
Ike flash at high rate OF speed the horse
would not know Of lie presence until u
had gone BY and then would have nothing
20 brighten him - ?.
Or. Milbank, who IL also a driver OF fast
horses, says he has found this 10 be the
case while driving his own horses.
The Doughty bill is on the order Of third
reading In the Assembly and it Ii the inten-
ton TO press II to final passage next week,
but conference is to be had and an effort
made to have some Of the drastic provisions
modified before that time. Senator Bailey
has amended his automobile bill 90 that
IL IL the same a. the Doughty measure,
and II wss reported In the Senate on Friday.

Fight on the Floor of the Senate

Washington, Feb. 3.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed to report favorably the treaty
with Colombia for building an isthmus
canal. The vote upon the resolution to
report was carried by large majority
Only two senators. Morgan and Bacon
his opposition was to the time of re-
porting and not to the treaty itself. The
committee recommends ratification
without amendment. Senator Cullom
says he has formed no plan for calling
1T UP in the senate. The general opin-
ion is that Morgan viii continue his OPP
position on the floor CT the senate and
several long sessions will be necessary
to secure a vote.
Bills were also passed amending the
revised statutes to allow national banks
TO keep their reserve in cities of 10000
population, instead of $4,000, as at pres
ent; for relief of officers and crew OF
the cruiser Charleston, which was LOST
in the Philippines.

VOTE ON LOCAL OPTION ACT.
Vermont Will Ratify or Reject Measure
at Today's Election.


Montpelier, VT, Feb. 3.-vermont's
voters will today adopt or reject the
recent act of the legislature granting
local option and high license for the
sale OF liquors in place of the measure
predict it's adoption by majorities
ranging from 1000 to $4,000. The op-
ponents of the law say 1t will be re-
jected by from 5000 to 1000.
/ The uncertain element is the vote
Of the cities and large towns. 1t is
thought the rural communities will be
largely in favor of the law. The
keepers of kitchen barrooms are also
opposing the measure. In Burlington.
for instance, the new law will allow on
ly thirteen licenses. where there are
now nearly 100 unlicensed dealers.
The men who can not hope to secure
licenses under the new law are natur-
ally opposed to 1t, and as the aggregate
number of these is large their influence
will be considerable. The democratic
party and the Clement wing OF the
republicans are committed to the

ALLEGED NEGLECT OF DUTG

Did His Duty and Advised Them to
Refrain From Any Act Of Violence
General News. -

Philadelphia. Feb. 3.-Daniel T. Me-
Kelvy, justice of the peace OF Hazelton.
who yesterday testified before the an
thracite coal STRIKE commission, was
recalled today for cross-examfnatiOn.
Counsel attempted to show witness had
neglected his duty as an officer Of thl
law because of his partiality toward4
the strikers. Witness did not deny hil
sympathies were with the strikers, bu(
asserted he had not failed In his duty.
He told of having been out an entire
night among the strikers pickets. Hll
object, he said, was to advise the strik.
property and to create no disturbance.
Chairman Gray appeared dissatisfied
with the witness testimony concerning
an assault upon non-union men with
which McKelvey had been charged. TnG
chairman was unable clearly to under<g
stand the witness description of til<l
occurrence, and displayed considerable
impatience. Commissioner Parker askS;
ed the witness If he had advised any o{
the men not to return to work. Mc< !.
Kelvy said he had made several addres<
ses during the strike and suggested te
the men the advisability OF remaininf
firm. j. Curry, general storekeepeN
said the prices charged in the Marklt
stores averaged 1914 per cent highal
than his prices William Mclaughlin,
of Shenandoah, said there were few
scenes Of disorder in that city, notabla
exception being the rfoting in which
Joseph Beddall was killed. which re-
suited in call for troops. Counsel
questioned witness concerning the eff
feet Gen. Gobin's celebrated Shoot to
kill'' order and said it created a gem
eral feeling of indignation. Witness
said the soldiers were frequently arr
rested for disorderly conduct. They
were invariably taken from the civi1
authorities by mob. What was Coz
bins attitude regarding the str1kerD7S -
witness was asked. Chairman Gray re-
ceded against the admission Of tA<
question. He said: "Gobin's attitude
was that OF man sent to a place fok
the purpose OF maintaining order,
suppose"
Mclaughlin was CROSS examined
concerning the riot In which Beddall
was killed. Asked II an attempt waa
|
made by any OF the mob to rescue th0
victims, witness said three men had
tried to assist him. What aTe tn4
names OF these men?" Inquired Chair>
man Gray '.They deserved to be placed
on the roll OF honor" Witness knew
two OF them. Edward McGinnis and
Michael Durkin and Gray said h4
hoped the press would publish the
names.
William Rutledge. a miner, was
questioned concerning the limitation
of production. He said ordinarily the
loading of seven cars would constitute
a days work, but since the end of the
recent strike he had not been able to
load more than four and a half cars a
day, because the supply Of cars bad
been limited by the company. The
breaker had been working an average
of nine hours a day.

Not So Much Question Of Priority as
Of Separate Payment.
London, Feb. 3.-'fhe Reuters Tele-
graph Company says it is officially in
formed that the attitude of the allies
regarding the so-catled priority claims
against Venezuela have been misinter-
preted. thus increasing the complica-
tions. 1t is explained the allies do not
insist OH the precedence of these claims
over others. but insist that they will
be regarded as separate and to be dealt
with by and between themselves and
Venezuela. Until specific arrange
ment is made for satisfaction of their
claims they are determined to continue
the blockade. 1t is further stated the
allies do not bind Venezuela regarding
the sum to be periodically paid or the
time in which the deb, must be paid or.
