VALIDITY IS QUESTIONED
Senator Grady Said Canal Bonds
Would Have Been Subscribed
Many Times Over.

ALBANY. n. Y, Jan. 1S.-For over
two hours the senate debated the prop
Dsition to ask the attorney generals
opinion on the validity of the barge
canal act and after considering sew
eral substitute measures defeated Sen
ator Brackets original resolution by
vote Of 30 to 10. This resolution
originally introduced last week, re-
quested the attorney general to decide
whether the canal law infringed the
section of the federal constitution pro-
tecting nayigable waters.
When Senator Bracket called for the
adoption of his resolution Senator Cas-
sidy Of Watkins offered an amendment
referring TO the attorney general the
entire question Of constitutionaity He
maintained that the act contained
many questions which could not legally
have been submitted to the popular vote.
Senator Hill of Buffalo championed
the cause Of the prOcanal people. de-
claring that the amendment was not
germane and that the attorney general
should be asked only one question mt
a time.
I'VE quite understand" remarked
Senator Grady, that all this smoke
and fuss and fun is part of the cam
paign." He imputed to the supporters
of the Bracket measure bad faith, as
sorting that their course was only a
cloak for a general attack upon the
whole canal proposition, which would
eliminate as soon as the opposition
forces had had time 10 confer and ar
range their plans in bill for its re-
peal. Replying 70 question of Sen
ator Raines, Senator Grady declared
that, far from doubling the validity of
the canal bonds under present circum-
stances, he would guarantee that il
they were offered for sale today within
twenty-four hours they would be sub
scribed for ten times over.
Senator Bracket suggested that IL
the procanal men wanted the improve
ment as check upon the railroads. as
had been implied, with a portion of the
SlOl.OOOOOO they could construct rail
road across the state which would be
a more effective check than twenty
canals.

no lookup at Cobleskill that was re.
garded as strong enough to hold Shin.

TUCKER MURDER TRIAL.
Six Hours Taken Up with Testimony
of Writing Experts.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 1S.-The
sharp cross examination of Attorney
General Parker relieved the monotony
of expert handwriting testimony at
the trial Of Charles l.. Tucker, charged
with the murder of Mabel Page, at the
criminal court here.
For six hours handwriting experts
were on the stand illustrating their
points on blackboard, pointing out to
the jury on many of the exhibits what
they considered complete characters
tics of the handwriting of either Miss
Page or Tucker and answering or at
tempting to answer sharp and sarcas-
tic questions put to them by Mr.. Par
ker.
Colonel Edward B. Hay was recalled
by the defense, and he said that from
his investigations of the handwriting
Mabel Page wrote the Morton note.
The fact was further brought from the
witness with considerable difficulty
that his method was to search for sim
ilarities and that, although he found
characteristics Of fuckers handwrit-
ing in the Morton note, he did not
mention them to the jury. The an
swers made in number of instances
caused much merriment to the specta.
tors, who crowded the room Tucker
exhibited great interest in the ques-
tioning of Mr.. Parker. and his resent
ment of the attorney generals treat
ment was very apparent.
