ELSBERG BILL HELD BACK
NOT OUT or COMMITTEE.
T'5co Rapid Transit Bills Passed
Under Emergency Message
!Bv TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.

Albany April S.-There was a considerable
furry to-day over the non appearance OF the
Elsberg Rapid Transit bill from the Committee
on Rules in the Assembly and the passage OF
the two bills introduced by Senator White for
the Rapid Transit Commission through that
body, on an emergency message from the Gov
error. Two reasons were generally ascrlbed for
the failure of the Elsberg bill to appear. one was
that the engrossed copy had not come over from
the Senate and the other that powerful lobby
influences were working against the bill. X.
Fulton Cutting. of the Citizens Union. and eX-
Senator John Ford, well as Senators White
and Elsberg. were busy IN the effort To get the
bills reported but despite their efforts the bills
not reported at the meeting Of the Rules
Committee late this afternoon.
r. Fulton Cutting had a talk with the Gov
ernOr this morning, in which he discussed the
election frauds in Queens Borough in the last
election. but his principal mission was on the
Elsberg bill. and it was reported that he had not
been able to secure any definite promise from the
Governor. There is a general tendency here to
attribute the non-appearance Of the bill to the
work of a lobby. Certain street railway men
and other interests have been credited with
using undue influence to hold up the bill Inc
feature of the Elsberg bill providing for the
construction of pipe galleries In the new SUD-
ways has alienated and aroused certain powerful
gas interests and the combination of interests
affected by the bill is regarded not unlikely
to cause it's defeat. Senator White, who intro
duced the Rapid Transit Commission bill. is
strongly in favor Of reporting the Elsberg bill,
and said to-day that he would use his influence
with the Governor to secure his veto for the
rapid transit bills if the Elsberg measure failed
When the White bills, accompanied by the
message came up I'm the Assembly, MI New
comb, who introduced the Elsberg bill. made
brief speech. Later in the day Mr.. Newcomb
gave out a statement explaining why he had not
opposed the White bills in the Assembly, as
some friends of the EIsberg measure believed
he should. thus holding them up until his bill
was reported. Mr.. Newcomb said:
am strongly IN favor Of the Elsberg bill. and
| hope to see 1t enacted before the session closes
principles contained in it l could find no excuse
for opposition to the Rapid Transit Commission
bills Such opposition would have been i'm
proper on my part. I'm view Of the united demand
from the city which I i'm part represent for their
passage. The passage Of the two rapid transit
bills this morning in no way affect the city q
demand for these additional rights and priv
ileges.
The failure Of the committee TO report the Els
berg bill led to much bitterness and caused the
ex-senator Ford 10 make a personal attack on
Governor Odell. He said he was convinced that
the Governor never had the slightest intention
OF permitting the bill 10 become a law.

Albany April S.--Thc long heralded home rule
report from the home rule committee, consist
ing Of the members OF the Republican state
Committee and Republican Senators and Assem-
blyrnen was given out this afternoon by Senator
EIsherE. As predicted it is merely thesis IN
tended to demonstrate that a full measure OF
home rule is at present being enjoyed by every
municipality of the State: that many OF the alHS
presented to the legislature on that subject are
unnecessary because penary control is already
vested in boards of aldermen, and that the o'hy
complaint comes from the city of Newly ork
because of a misunderstanding by its citizens OF
the powers really granted by its own charteT.
Briefly. the presentations OF The committee are

That. taking into consideration the varying cond-
tons home rule is to large extent Sei ,t,ou
That there is no complaint from buita, ,d d" SnS
