Brooklyn Senators Defend Home
Rule BHI-4ttack by VeiHer.
FBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BuxE.l


Albany, March THE hearing the Gardner
Brooklyn Home Rule bill this afternoon demon
srated that the love of city is greater than that of
party In the discussion of this measure before the
Senate Cities Committee political affiliations were
forgotten. While Senators Gardner and Cooper,
both Republicans sided with Senator McCarren in
a heated defence of the proposition. Senator Els
berg stood by Senator Grady in equally warm
opposition. The bill attacked by Secretary
Lawrence Weller of the City Club. who character
lied il as a political grab, and by Assistant Cor
poraton Counsel Charles Guy, who SAID that its
passage would be followed by complete democrat
ization of government in New-York City. To this
the advocates of the measure replied that Brooklyn
was seeking only for the right OF self government
intended bv the origina charter and that the pres
ent situation was intolerable Mr.. WELLER said:
This is bill practically undo consolda-
ton between the various boroughs of the city of
Nevy-York except in regard the finances OF
the greater city 1t is the most vicious piece of
legislation that has been presented at any
session of the legislature in many years. While
in the guise of giving so-called home rule or
autonomy. TO the various boroughs of the city,
it is really a grab for political patronage, its
PROPONENTS being quite willing sacrifice the
tire scheme of the government of NewYork City
and it's successful administration to the accom-
plishment of their purpose TO strengthen local po
ltical parties in the Borough Of Brooklyn
while the bill Ostensibly purports to place all
basis IN FLOWING the Borough Presiden, to appoint
each branch of the municipal government in that
borough the proponents of this measure conttnu-
ally depart from this idea and in various sections
of the bill inadvertently limit their extension of
powers solely TO the Borough President in Brook
iyn. word, the measure is political job of
the worst kind 1t is uncomfortable that the legis
Iature will give il serious consideration
TO this Senator Gardner replied that the best
evidence of political graft the fact that

Hugo Hirsch said:
1T is shame that Brooklyn city of a million
and a half inhabitants. should be governed by
clerks who have no authority. When you 90 to a
borough officer he has telephone to Manhattan
before he can act; Charter consolidation would
never have taken place had it not been practically
agreed that local self-government should be pre-
served"
ooh. Mr.. Hirsch,'' interrupted Senator Grady Il

of Brooklyn came and shed tears because dear
Brooklyn was to be wiped out
Ex-senator Walter Burton declared that there
could be worse decentralization than existed in

ure was bitterly and unsparingly criticised, the
Assembly to-day killed the Bedell bill. designed

Mr. Redell made a hard fight for his measure
He pleaded the cause Of the long suffering bond
holders explaining that the measure was only
intended 10 give these bondhoders of the Third
Avenue Railroad Company a right to a connect
ing line if the present union with The Metropoli-
tan Street Railway was ever dissolved but all
his protests were Of no avail
Representatives Of New-York City without

Assemhlynan Rogers attempted 10 refute the
assertion made by Assemblyman Prentice that
the bin would render ineffective Justice Amends

forfeited Assemblyman Calm retorted
All right Will MI Bedel consent TO the in
sertion of the usual clause, providing that the
bill shall not apply 10 any pending case?
II shall have TO consider that" explained Mr..
Bedell, lamely A second later he asked Assem-
blyman Calm IL he had read the bill.
"Oh. yes" was the sarcastic retort. Il have
& read this bill with the same care that reallze
! is due all the gentleman's railroad measures
Assemblymsn Tompkins read the editorial
printed in The Tribune this morning exposing
: the measure and advising its defeat.
This expresses my feeling exactly, said he
An upstate member offered an aI2l"ndment
which limited the effect of the bill to New-York
City and Mr.. Bedell accepted It. explaining with
frankness that the bin was designed TO meet the
Amsterdam-ave. situation. Replying to the
criticisms he said bitterly:
Not man in a hundred understands the
bill, but the fact is that whenever bill is in
1roduced affecting the interests of a railroad
corporation a universal howl goes up through
the medium of the press and various civic bodies
that the measure is a grab that it is wicked
and nefarious grab bill. l want to stand right

ure."
BY accepting the amendment Mr.. Bedell at
tempted TO postpone the defeat of the measure,
but Assemblymen Wainwright. Agnew, Calm.
Fuller Tompkins and score of others opposed
the suggestion.
Let's kill il right here and now they shout
ed Accordingly the amendment voted
down. Then Mr. Bedell made final effort by
moving TO recommit. Again the howl went up,
and the proposition was lost In the end Mr.
Agnew made motion TO strike out the enact

amid general applause. This terminates the
