the bill ought to be amended 80 as to give
the commission power to make leases which
would expire simultaneously with that Of
the marlborough subway. 1t was pointed
out that it would be useless for the city to
attempt to operate the subways successfully
when the time came to take them over
unless the city was in a position to enter into
joint possession of all.
Mr.. Boardman condemned the attempt
of the Legislature to interfere in matters
which it could have but little knowledge of.
Why should these representatives of
Podunk and Cohoes in the Legislature be
permitted to dictate to the city OF New
York when the authorities Of the city are
trying to deal adequately with extremely
difficult conditions?' he asked.
President Orr, speaking for the COM
mission, said that the board had no objeo-
ton to b clause Of the bill doing away
with the present self-perpetuating power
of the commission by authorizing the
Mayor to fill vacancies In future.
Mr.. Boardman reported that the work
the Third, Seventh, Eighth and Lexington
avenue routes and the Coney Island ex-
tension had been 80 nearly completed
that If the Legislature imposed no OBJ
staoles it would be possible to advertise
for bid for construction by July /.

KNIFE AND CLUB MISSING.
Swede Arrested for Murder Of Woman He
Lived With.

Charles Anderson, a Swede, ~ years old,
of 90 Catherine street, was arrested early
last night on the charge of numbering
Lizzie Anderson, a woma Of about the
same age, with whom he lived and who was
known as his wife, by stabbing her in the
face with a knife and crushing her head
with a club.
Anderson drew his pay as a ongshore-
man yesterday and went home drunk.
According to Mrs. Bergman, with whose
family the couple boarded, he started to
quarrel with his wife about money, which
be said she had taken to buy whiskey.
The quarrel became so heated that Mrs.
Bergman says she went downstairs to get
out Of range Of hearing it.
She returned to her rooms about 43o.
She found Anderson ,kneeling over the
figure of his wife, who was lying on the
floor with blood streaming down her face
from a large knife wound on the left side
of her nose. In addition the side of her
head was crushed in. Mrs, Bergman says
that Anderson told her that he had gone
downstairs for a few minutes and when he
returned he found his wife lying on the
Hoor dying.
Anderson was taken to the Oak street
station. He told the sergeant that he did
not kill his wife. The left side of his face
had a great brulse on IL near the eye ,Whlch
the police think might ave been caused
by a blow from a club. Anderson said
that he had had the bruise for q week. The
bruise was bleeding slightly.
A man named Frank McHenry, who was
drinking with Anderson during the day,
was arrested. At first he denied knowing
anything about the murder. After a cross
examination by the police McHenry adj
mitted that he had been in the house after
Mrs. Bergman had gone downstairs. He
said he found Mrs, Anderson lying on the
floor and he heard Anderson say:
Poor Lizzie, I didn't mean to harm a
hair in your head
The police made a thorough search Of
the house, but failed to find a knife with
any blood stains on it or a club of any
description with which the woman could
have been killed,

~.TOMFOOLERY TACTICS."
Phrase of the Police Commissioner vexes
q Recreation Centre.

In a curt letter, in which he expressed
himself as opposed to the introduction OF
'tomfoolery tactics" into the public school
system of the city, Commissioner Bingham
Of the Police Department declined to be
present at a public demonstration Of the
physical and mental work Of some 200
embryonic patrolmen at the evening recrea-
ton centre in the High School of Commerce
Building last evening.
The demonstration was intended as a
kind Of trial heat for some $50 men and
boys who think they'd like to be policemen.
1t was an imitation civil service examina-
ton. Fred E. kirchner, who has charge
Of the mental work at the evening recreation
centre. conceived the idea at the openin g of
the school year last fall Of forming a class
to fit men and boys for the civil service
examinations for patrolmen, hremen and
other city and State departments.
Miss Evangelne Z. Whitney. who has
general supervision Of the work in the
evening recreation centres, said last night:
Commissions Binrham seems to have
taken offence at the i.4|itiation TO be present
tonight. but he doesn't give any reason
for his resentment. We began this work
only last October, but we now have an
average attendance of 100 in the class.
There are over $50 registered, and they
come from all parts Of Greater New York.
The work has certainly an objective point,
and the men and boys seem to appreciate il,

TO PUSH ELSBERG BILL.
Grady Amendment Dropped-Assembly
Committee to Report Favorably.

w eofS
ALBANY, April S.-After comforting with
William NJ. Wins and John Ford, it wa de-
termined by Senator Elsberg to-day to
press his rapid transit law amendments
through the Assembly without change
and just as the bill passed the Senate. Ao-
cordingly, the Assembly Cities Committee
decided tonight to report the Elsberg
bill favorably. Rapid Transit Commits
sioner George L. Rives appeared before
the Assembly committee to urge several
amendments, but the committee decided
to let the bill go as it passed the Senate.
Senator Elsberg had made up his mind
last night TO restore his bill to the shape
it was in before the Grady. amendment
was adopted in the Senate and endeavor to
have it passed by the House in that shape.
He made a canvass Of the Senate to asoer-
tain what chance the bill would have If it
came back thus amended, and quickly
was made aware Of the fact that II the bill
again came before the Senate it would be
killed.
In case Senator Elsberg can't get his bill
through the Assembly, 1t is his purpose
to endeavor to get the Prentice bin, which
is like the original Rapid Transit law amend
ment bill, through the Assembly and then
make a final fight for it in the Senate.
