WANTED: \ LAW TEACHER.
New York Law Makers Don't Know
How TO Deal With These Editors
(By the Associated Press.

Albany. n. Y, July 17.-Tme Legis-
lature tonight spent nearly the whole
evening in coming to the conclusion
that it's procedure in reference to the
allegations in New York press OF a
big lobby doodle" and improper
political influence in the Hooker case,
had thus far probably been in excess
of the powers of the joint sessions.
The final decision was that the case
of Editor Wardman, and his assocl-
ates of the New York Press must be-
gin all over again under at least new
form Of subpoena.
Interest centered in the report that
the Legislature leaders would attempt
the punishment of Editor Wardman
for his refusal to answer questions
relating to his expressed belief that
improper influences were at work in
behalf of Justice Hooker. No such
attempt was made, for the very juris-
diction of the session was challenged
at the outset by Managing Editor
John A. Hennessay, of the Press in his
refusal to obey a subpoena, and the
whole matter went over for at least
another dav.
Mr.. Hennessey will now be subpoe-
naed under the form provided for in
the special rules of the joint session
which subpoena will definitely require
him to give testimony relative to the
Hooker case.
