ODELL SENDS A VETO.
Bill to Centralize State Hos
pital Control Killed.
no NEW YORK CITY LIGHTING PLANT
Canal Debate Rebenrscd on Two
Amendments - "PubIic Robbery
and n stupendous Humbug,"
Says senator Malby.

ALBANY, n. Y, April 22.-Governor
Odell has put an end to the reports
that he was behind the Rampsberger
bill to centralize control of the state
insane hospitals by sending veto mes
sage 70 the senate. The governor in
vetoing the bill says:
This bill, with some of whose fea
lures | am in accord, provides such n
radical departure from existing laws
governing the institutions under the
control of the commission in lunacy
that have been led to dsapprove it."
The miniature of the original canal
debate occurred in the senate on Sena-
tor Hills two concurrent resolutions to
amend the constitution 80 as, first, to
permit the payment of the canal debt
from any surplus in the treasury, and,
second, to extend the time limit of ca
nal bonds from eighteen TO fifty years.
The vote on the first resolution was 20
TO II. All the negative votes Oh both
propositions were Republican 1t was
on the fifty year bond proposition that
the debate grew lively Senator Malby
did not mince his words This Is Il
measure" said he, "to notify this gen
GRAFTON that IL will not be required TO
pay for all the crimes il commits but
that some of them will pass on to DOS
terity as inheritance from their fore
fathers.
This allows the matter to go before
the people little less bald, a little less
like public robbery. but it is still stu
pendous humbug"
These amendments If passed by the
assembly and by the next legislature
will be submitted to the people in 1904.
The senate refused to disagree with
an adverse report of the cities commit
tee on the Elsberg bill permitting New
York city to establish municipal light
Ing plant. Senators Elsberg and Grady
dissented from the report. Senator
Elsberg's motion to disagree with the
committees adverse report and to ad-
vance the bill to a third reading was
defeated by vote of Is yeas to %
nays after lively debate, during
which Senator Martin denounced
lobbyist whose name he did not give.
The bill of Senator Goodsell and Mr..
Bedell forbidding the establishment of
any hospital camp for consumptives in
any county without the formal consent
OF the county and town authorities was
first defeated and later reconsidered
and passed by the assembly. The first
vote was 0G yeas and 81 nays, failing
of the required - votes to make con-
stitutional majority. The final vote
was SO yeas and 80 nays
There was Il party division in the

7. c. Atkinson, Master of West
Virginia State Grange, in his an
nual address said: "Since the last
regular session of this grange at
Point Pleasant, a year ago last
October, it has been the pleasure of
the representatives of this State
Grange to attend two of the most
magnificent sessions of the National
Grange. One at Lewiston, Maine,
and the other at Lansing, Michigan.
The grange may not have acom-
plished all it started out to accom-
plish. but there is no doubt that it
has secured for the farmers of this
greatest of all agricultural nations,
the respect and friendly apprecia.
ton of all other classes. The
world recognizes the Importance of
agriculture, and of the agricultur-
alist, as never before, and the

had much to do with bringing this

BATTERY A NOW IN
UNCLE SANS SERVICE
Light Artillery Goes Into Camp on
July 3.

With pomp and ceremony Battery A,
Light Artillery. D. c. n. c., was mus
tered into the United States service. in
the Center Market Armory, last night.
Out of the sixty-one candidates that
were placed on the list by Captain Mar
ron throughout the past two weeks, fif
ty-one lined up last evening and raised
their right hands as Major c. II. Ourand.
inspector general of militia, called their
names and swore them in.
The four new carriages for the guns
and as many caissons, together with n
battery wagon and forage. are in the
armory and will remain there until the
battery starts to camp on the morning
of July %. The carriages are made for
81 suns. Judging from the showing
made last evening II is safe to say that
the battery will carry a full quota of
men to camp.
1t is understood that the officials of the
Guard will today ask for a Presidential
commission for Capt. Thomas Marion
who organized the battery. Henry f.

NEW FOUNTAINS FOR
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Running-Water Type Adopted by
Commissioners.

Fountains Of running water, which DO
not require the use Of cups, will here
after be installed in all the public
schools schools of the District which
are not otherwise provided for.
Commissioner Biddle yesterday after
noon indorsed the style Of fountains in
question.
The action was brought about through
a letter sent to the Commissioners by
the principal and teachers of the Hub
bard School. where the running water
fountains are at present Installed.
The matter was referred originally to
the Inspector OF Plumbing, who report
ed that the running water fixtures were
more sanitary than those requiring cups,
as they reduce the liability Of contagion.
The childs mouth does not come in
contact with the metal but drinks direct
from the flowing water.
Similar fountains were in operation at
the Buffalo Exposition for drinking pur-
poses. aud were freely used.
There is only one drawback to their
use. which is the great amount Of water
used If allowed TO run continuously. and
if the fixture is controlled by a valve the
water becomes warm by standing in the
pipes. thereby necessitating a waste
until the water can run cool.
Chester Harding, assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner. in his report on
the matter says:
There is no objection in the Water
Department to the waste OF water Incl
dent to the type Of fixtures referred to,
Drinking fountains for horses are erect
ed in numerous places in the city which
involve a continuous flow and a constant
waste of water. There seems to be nc
reason why the school children should
not be given an equal advantage In this
| regard"
