POLITICIAN QUOTES THE BIBLE WITH EFFECT.
THE REPUBLICAN, LEADER or THE ASSEMBLY
DUINFOUNDS THE DEMOCRATS.

IF Hamburger wants a reply from me. I'll give
it to him. Give him chance next time"
The next morning the Tammany Assembly
man rose again to discharge one of his gas bills.
After charging the Republican party with being
dictatoria1 and high handed. of trying to smother
his bills in committee and not permitting them
to come before the house. he said
Il suppose the big chairman from Bingham
ton thinks that my crying out against such
political methods will amount to nothing be-
cause l am a Democrat. He thinks he will
drive me to silence by his silence No, sir;
he will not / shall continue to cry out against
such a dictatorial spirit and my cry will be
vindicated by the vote of the people
The member from Broome County rose to his
full height. and it could be- seen that he was
about twice the size of the NeW-Yor Assembly
man.
Mr. Hamburger" he said. lis like to
me 1 have for him only the feelings of a
father. Therefore, L am only obeying that part
of the Bible-I think it is from the XIXth Chap
ter of Proverbs, the 18th verse, which reads:
.Chasten thy son while there is hope. and let
not thy soul spare for his crying"
There was only smothered reply from the
Tammany Hall member.
George NJ Palmer, the leader of the Demo
cratic forces on the floor of the Assembly, often
finds himself helpless before the Scriptural
shafts of Mr. Rogers.
Thus toward the close of last session Mr.
Palmer made a motion to discharge the Judici-
airy Committee from the consideration of one
of his pet resolutions. when the Binghamton
Assemblyman, who then chairman of that
committee jumped up and exclaimed:
we ought not to waste time this reso
luton. II was introduced merely for political
purposes
Mr.. Palmer turned his heel and said:
This is wholly innocent bill 1t in
troduced from high moral and humanitarian
motives"

was the quick answer but although the voice
is the voice OF Jacob. the hand is the hand OF

thoroughly democratic, Bj0rnsens action was con-

forced to exile himself from his native land TO

New-York tribune., 1903-01-25

Tn these davs when there is so much talk
about secularism and the transition OF the
use of the Bible from the Sword of the spirit
TO a book of reference, James T Rogers, the
new leader of the New-York State Assembly,
Is a striking contradiction of that tendency.
The visitor to the State Capitol who takes MS
seat ir the gallery to hear a debate will find
the big man who heads the Republican cont1n-
gent quoting every now and then, from the
Bible A sentence or verse with excellent
effect.
Though possessed of kindly face which for
the most part is lighted by smile, and perhaps
a trif1e more boyish than might be expected from
a man of thirty-nine, James f. Rogers Is not
to be trifed with. His frame is huge, ana Win
the exception of Speaker Nixon he is the
heaviest man in the legislature. The bigness
of body is balanced we'll by a large braln'
which once aroused is regarded with feelings
of dread bv his antagonists. The Broome
County member delivers one broadside after an
other and if his adversary still persists in
popping up his head he will quote sentence
from the Old or New Testament which gener-
ally leaves the enemy PROSTATE.
According to an old tradition of Albany, the
member who talks too much in his first year Will
never have a chance to talk again. Mr.. Rogers
learned of this proverb before he left his law Of
fee in Binghamton, in 1899, for his first term In
the legislature and he prohted by IT. In nlssecohd
year however, as chairman of the Committee
on Gas and Electricity and Water Supply, he
became a target for certain Tammany members,
who were accustomed TO introduce year after
wear bills for cheap gas. municipal gas. or even
free gas and when the committee took no ac-
ton they would get rise out of Big Jim as
one Of them used TO say, by moving to dis
charge his committee from consideration of the
subject.
In these petty skrnishes, however, the big
man from Binghamton showed that he was by
no means poor shot either at short or long
range. His chief antagonist on these occa-
sions was julius Hamburger. OF the Xth Dis
trict New-York who introduced so many gas
bills one week that some member Jocosely
suggested that smoking be prohibited In the
Capitol Mr.. Hamburger used to drop his gas
bills into the Speakers box, hear their titles
read once and then go down to the committee
room presided over by Mr.. Rogers only to find
a tombstone erected over each one OF his legis-
lative children.
Mr. Hamburger made several motions 10 dis
charge the committee. but was squelched each
time by the chair. Finally. Mr.. Rogers met the
Speaker and said:

bill came up for the last reading, and the op-
ponents of the measure had spoken long and
loud in their attack it. Mr.. Rogers replied
in speech full of statistics to show that the
measure would prove economical to the State
as we'll as beneficial to the inmates of the State
hospitals for insane
After he had finished a Tammany member
got the floor and shouted:

EASILY UNDERSTOOD.
derstandabIe to Deaf Mutes as
Spoken Words to Hearers.

"You need not think you are always
telephoning in secrecy" said a teacher
in the deaf mute college in this city,
relates the Washington Star, when
you go in booth and close the double
doors after you, as 1 see people doing
every day. l notice these people in
their retreats in which they think
their words are drowned from the
outer world, talking often while they
look on the people outside of the glass
doors.
'Now, do you know" he continued,
shat every word that is so spoken is
understood by a deaf mute whenever
he sees what is going on under such
conditions? That is fact. The deaf
mute becomes so proficient in learn
ing to read the language of the lips
that the motion is as expressive to
him as is the sound of the human voice
to other people. The next time you
have secret to impart-to some friend
over telephone in a public booth
where people are watching you you
should be careful to speak directly in
the mouthpiece of the phone so that
your secret be not given away to some
who happen to/understand the Ian
guage of the lips,"

establishment of the Cuban republc)
was celebrated yesterday with the IL.
luminat ton of the fronts of the princi-

In the morning business was com

President Palma, accompanied by
the cabinet officers and city and pro
vincial officials, drove to the Punta at
10 O'clock, preceded by mounted police
who opened a passage through the
great crowd gathered to see the presi

people mostly standing open moutheC

elapsed since the birth of the Cuban
republic. A review of the troops by
President Palma followed.

NEWS IN 1915 AND NOW.
The Battle of waterloo Was Not
Heard OF Till Six weeks After
1t Was Fought.

Leopold de Rothschild, at dinner
of the Newspaper Press fund, drew an
interesting contrast between the meth
DDS used for transmitting news in 1915
and now. His own firm claims to have
been the first to announce the victory
of Waterloo ir England, says Country
Life.
By the by, there is a tradition at
Somersby, where Tennyson was born
and lived, that they did not hear of
the battle of Waterloo there till six
weeks after it was fought.
Mr.. Leopold de Rothschild, however,
said that his grandfather, who was the
owner of some ships, gave his captains
direct orders that wherever they went
they were always to bring him the lat
est newspapers, and in this way there
came into his hands a Dutch paper
which contained the intelligence in one
line, Great victory of the English at
Amsterdam
His grandfather took the news to
Lord Liverpool, but was secuted be-
cause the intelligence had arrived on
the previous day that the Eng .ish
troops had been beaten
If there is Waterloo fought in the
future, we wonder how the first intel
ligence will reach London. VIII it be
by what we have come to oregard as the
somewhat prosaic cablegram? Will it
be by telephone? Or shall we have it
in marconigram? Perhaps there may
be an invention before then that will
render all these obsolete

II ESTATE
DECISION
Brown Upheld But
Injunction Is
Refused.
Whites Bill for Driving
Senator Morgan Is
Good Set-On.

Chief Justice Frear is the author of
a unanimous opinion of the Supreme
Court, which reverses the decree of
Judge Gear granting an injunction to
&C. A. Brown against A. w. Carter ct
al, trustees of John Ii Estate, Ltd.
The gist of the decision is that the in
contentious of Brown as to his position
and powers under the articles of asso-
citation are correct.
Among other things the court holds
that the former Mrs. Brown having,
while the wife of the plaintiff, signed
the conveyance to the corporation of
the interests Of herself and minor chill
dren cannot now object to the legiti-
mate transactions of the corporal ton.
Another point is that shortness of no
tice of a corporation meeting which
was not objected to at the meeting
cannot now be pleaded to avoid any
thing done at such meeting.
The court declines to construe the ar
ticles of association and decide the
many fine points of law therein raised
by the plaintiff. The case is RENTED
to the Circuit Judge with instructions
to dismiss the bill for injunction and
take such other proceedings as may
be proper not inconsistent with the
opinion now rendered.
The plaintiff is manager of the cor
poration, removable only by a two
thirds vote of the directors. Through
an attempted change of the bylaws,
his fellow directors attempted to Dust
him. To protect himself he brought
the injunction suit.
DRIVING SENATOR MORGAN
Judge De Bolt heard without jury
the suit of James Carly VS.. B. T.
White. C. G. Biting for plaintiff; j.
A. Magoon for defendant. 1t was a
suit for $77.91 for board of horses, to
which defendant offered a set-off ac-
count for use of horses and vehicles,
refreshments for man and beasts, ball
ance on sale of horse and personal SER
vices amounting to s110. The bill in
cludes charges for driving the members
of the Hawaiian Commission, especial
ly Senator Morgan, while here prepar-
ing to frame the Organic Act of the
Territory of Hawaii.
The late District Magistrate w. L.
| Wilcox gave judgment for defendant,
White, for 500, attorneys commission
! of 20 cents and costs of $3.50, making
a total of 1919, from which plaintiff.
| Carly, appealed. Judge De Bolt now
renders judgment allowing defendant 5
! counter claim up to and not exceeding
the sum of plaintiffs claim, $77.91, Mr..
/ Magoon waving the excessive amount
of his clients set-off. Mr.. Biting notes
an exception and gives notice of mo-
| ton for new trial.
| HOLT CASE APPEAL.
| In the matter Of the estate of Robert
William Holt, deceased, a brief on be-
half of appellant, Helen A. Holt, in
dfvidually and as guardian of the mi
| nor children of James r. Holt, de-
ceased, has been filed in the Supreme
| Court on the appeal from Judge Gear
at chambers. 1t is set forth that the
| Circuit Judge erred in refusing to
admit in evidence the letters of ad-
ministration to Bruce Cartwright; that
notwithstanding such refusal, the let
tiers were before him as part of the rec
ord and no formal proffer of them
