MURPHY WHIPS MURPHY.
Tammany Mans Senators Vote for
Republican Troy Measure.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE-l

Albany, April 1.-Charles F. Murphy, through
his representatives in the Senate, to-day took a
sly dig at ex-senator Edward Murphy, OF Troy
IN return for the latter's desertOn to ex-senator
David B. Hill and his mounting the Parker
band wagon. Incidentally. the Tammany
Murphys action showed that Democratic mar
mony is still problematical-
The opportunity the Tammany leader has been
waiting for came when a Republican measure.
introduced by Senator Barnes. Of Rensselaer,.
was under consideration. This bill increased
the municipal commission Of Troy from three 10
five members by adding the Mayor and Cor
poration Counsel to the existing board In SIM
pie terms this means that ex-senator Murphy
through his two representatives on this board
is able to control the important patronage dis
pensing board against Mayor Hogan. the Dem
ocratic Mayor formerly the former Senator
protege. but now in rebellion against his author
ity. Adding the Mayor and the Corporation
Counsel gives this board over TO the control OF
the Mayor. and gives him chance to turn out
the Murphy oficeholders and replace them with
his own and the Republicans he has agreed to
appoint to square the matter with Senator
Barnes.
When this bill came up party vote was ex-
pected. but. to the surprise Of all except Sen
ator Barnes four Tammany Senators-Foley'
Martin Hawkins and Bailey-voted with the
Republicans, carrying the bill by p vote or III
to 10, Senator McCarren. who watched the
maneuvre. smiled grimly and took notes
against an appropriate moment Ior revenge.
The Tammany men were sleeful at their re-
venge on ex-senator Murphy. Beyond the mere
sDirit OF revenge this incident clearly reveals
an intention of bolstering up Mayor Hogan 10
contest the control of the county with ex-Sen-
ator Murphy. II was the realization OF this IN
tention that drove the ex-senator, assailed on
one side by Tammany, I'm league with a rebel
Iious Mayor. and ex-senator Hill on the other;
to swallow his pride and come into the Hili
camp surrenderins at discretion.

Albany April 7.-Outgeneralled by the Repub-
lcan leader and outvoted by the majority the
Democrats were forced to let Assemolymah
Prentice take up his defeated ANTHOLOGY DILL
amend It 10 answer criticisms and get Ihe
amendment accepted. While IN the ordinary
course Of legislation the amended bill would
have to wait three days for rehearing, 1t Is
believed that Captain Goddard will urge Gov
ernor Odeu to send an emergency message on
the measure, In which case il will undoubtedly
become law. AS amended, half the proceeds
from the prosecution of none but policy cases
will be turned over to the ANTHOLOGY society.
In the original bill fines for conviction In all
gambling cases were given to this organization
While there little actual debate over the
BILL there was the most spirited OF parliament
tary sparring between Mr.. Rogers. Of the ma
jority, and Mr.. Palmer. minority leader. each OF
whom whipped into line his adherents. seasoned
by caustic comment from the pugnacious MT.
McKeown, Senator McCarren's Assemblyman'
He began the opposition the minute Mr. Prem
tice mentioned the Goddard bill, and continued
it bitterly. at times hampering his leader
I'VE don't propose that Captain Goddard shall
blacIman the people by this BILL" was his
edict.
The Assembly had raced through the calendar
and supplemental business. when Mr.. Prentice
moved TO reconsider the vote on his defeated
bill. Mr.. lCheOWn ZedlOuSly tdpcu III Win N'A'
objection. and from all sides came suggestions.
Finally he forced to a vote the question of
whether the bill should be taken from the table.
Defeated on this he and his ally Mr.. Palmer,
used every effort TO shut out the amendment
which Mr. Prentice tried to offer. 1t was out or
order they declared
Clamor arose. and Mr.. Rogers came TO the de-
fence. Finally, on a call Of ayes and noes as 10
whether the amendment should be taken, the
Democrats were again defeated. From that
point until the amendment was adopted 1t was
entirely A party fight. The two leaders opposed
objection to argument and raised countless
points of order continuing to debate before the
Speaker could uphold either.
Il move the adoption of the amendment SAID
Mr.. Rogers This amendment meets all crit-
for policy cases only would be paid over TO the
Anti-Policy Society"
"A pont of order" broke in Mr.. Palmer. while
Mr.. McKeown chimed in:
THE Speaker has no right to go on speaking
for the amendment"
That is point Of order" retorted Mr.. Rog-
ers.
Il move we adjourn" snapped the minority
leader. That's always IN order" And Mr.. Nc
Keown seconded II.
Il move the previous question" cried Mr..
Rogers His opponent adhered to his motion 10

until the Speaker upheld the Republican leader
and ordered the rollcall on the adoption or the
amendment. The vote stood 81 to IS.

discounted Democrats. and adjournment came

speculation.
The absence Of debate on this measure was
the most noteworthy feature. It was explained
10 another Assemblyman by Mr.. Merritt thus:
..Thls was not my so-called grab bill" Mr..
Merritt referred to his Electoral Supply bill as
follows:
This bill is the result OF years OF etudy OF the
problems involved The state no longer pur-
cha ses forest lands which from year TO year are
becoming more denuded. The natural water
storage system is being destroyed. Millions Of
property is lost each year by spring freshets
and there is no way to stop this unless we can
control the source of the stream. To give the
people in each section that power, we need this
measure.
There were two three scattered questions
asked about the workings under the measure. an
opposing word or two and the vote. decislvely in
favor Of the bill, followed.
