OF Leutenant-G eneraI.

WASHINGTON, March s.-The Eouse of
Representatives paid strict attention to
business to-day, with the result that the
provisions of the Indian Appropriation bill
covering seventy-six pages, were con-
sidered under the five minute rule, and
approved by the committee of the whole
practically as proposed by the Committee
on Indian Affairs. 1t was then reported to
the House and passed.
A filibuster was started by the House
leaders at a late hour in the afternoon to

Assembly Adopts Resolution InQuiring
About Recount OF MsyoraIty Vote.
ALBANY, March s.-Charges that W. R.
Hearst was not sincere in his desire to have
a recount in New York city, were made in
the Assembly to-day. The Judiciary Com
mittee reported the resolution introduced
by A~ssemblyman Percy Hooker Of Genesee,
asking the Acknowledgement il Mr.. Hearst
had brought Quo warranto proceedings to
have the election investigated.
When the resolution was reported Assem-
blyman Campbell, who is looked upon as
the leader of Hearst's Assemblymen, made
a vigorous attack upon it and asked that it
be laid aside.
Not muchl Not much" interrupted As
semblyman Paradise Jimmy Oliver.
As%semblSman Burnett demanded to know
il the Hearst men were sincere in their
efforts to secure a recount. IF the Mu-
nicipal Ownership representatives in this
House are as sincere as they would lead us
to believe they are, why don't they work for
the bill which seeks to secure a ~reoount2"
The resolution was adopted by a vote OF
SO to 20, all OF the Municipal Ownership
~Assemblymen voting against it's adoption
The resolution is as follows:
Resolred, That the Acknowledgement be
requested to inform the Assembly whether
in his opinion. in proceedings in accordance
with Chapter 10 Of the Code of Civil Pro-
cedure, the ballot boxes containing the ballots
cast at the last election in New York can be
opened and the ballots recounted, and whether
the said William r.. Hearst or any candidate
upon the said Municipal Ownership ticket
has made complaint to him or request that he
such action.
Should the Attorney General decide
that a quo warranto action could be be-
gun under Chapter 10 of the Code OF Civil
Procedure, it may embarrass Mr.. Hearst
in explaining why he had not done this
before. The only answer is that it would
be too expensive for Mr.. Hearst, costing
in the neighborhood of $3.50, 900, which
Mr.. Hearst would nave to pay should the
ballots show that he was elected.

GREGG SCENTS BRIBERY.
Says Money Is Being Used to Defeat His
Bill TO Prevent Gambling At Races.

Bill to Prevent Gambling At Races.
ALBANY. March s.-A. 8. Gregg, the
field secretary of the International Reform
Bureau, scents bribery in the efforts to de-
feat the Cassidy-Lansing bill to repeal the
Peroy-Gray horse race betting law. He
describes bribery as a fine art and says it
isn't practised in the crude way OF passing
money over to members. One Of the ways of
influencing members, he says is to remind
him that some Of the campaign money used
to lift him up to his present Office came from
the pockets of men who are interested in
races. Then another way, he declares,
Is to buy up his debts, mortgag es and notes
and then quietly inform him that they
will be forgotten il he votes a certain way.
in regard to tn e method to defeat his
bill, he says that members of the Legislature
are being informed that they are entitled
to 80 many tickets for the races next season,
and if they don't care to use them they will
be bought at a certain figure, He says
one Assemblyman was offered S125 for his
tickets, which means that the price of votes
to kill the Cassidy-Lansing bill is to be
SIPS.
Members Of the Legislature will be angry,
no doubt, to learn that Mr.. Gregg holds
them so dishonest and also so cheap.

SHIPPING BILL MAY FAIL.
Ma Certainty OF q Favorable Report From
the House Committee.


WASHINGTON, March s.-The House Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries
to-day agreed to begin consideration Of
the Shipping bill on March %. At that
time it will be decided whether or not fur
Their hearings will be had. The friends
of the measure will put forth every effort
to get the bill reported out Of the COM
mittee.
1t is understood, however. that Speaker
Cannon is still opposed to the measure
and is not likely to give any encourage
ment TO a proposition for its consideration
ey en- il it should be reported. Represent
alive Tawney, chairman Of the Committee
on Appropriations. is pronounced in his
opposition to the bill. He is seeking to
make a record by keeping down the appro-
priations to the lowest possible figure and
Is unwilling, In view Of the large necessary
expenditures, to 60 into the Treasury and
take out funds for ship subsidy. He in
tends to ight the bill II 1t should come up.
Notwithstanding this opposition friends OF
the measure profess confidence in their
ability to pass 1t.
The committee also agreed to, a favor
able report on the Omnibus Fish Culture
bill, which carries an appropriation Of
approximately $780, 900 for twenty-one fish
culture stations and two biological stations
in different States.

READY TO ADJOURN ON APRIL 7
THAT WAS DECIDED AT CONFER
ENCE OF ASSEMBLY LEADERS.

II Was Also Decided That Every Good BILL
Must BE Out OF Committee Next Week
No Bad Bills VIII Pass the Assembly
Committee on Rules This Year.
ALBANY, March s.-As far as the Assembly
is concerned, it will be ready to adjourn
on April 7. This was decided upon at a
conference in Speaker Wadsworth's room
this afternoon. For the first time within
recent years a Speaker Of the Assembly
has conferred with all of the chairmen Of
the different committees. In the past the
plan has been for the Speaker and his one
lieutenant to ak matters over. But this
afternoon Speaker Wadsworth and Ma
iority Leader Moreland conferred with the
ohairmen and it was decided that every
good bill must be got out of committee
next week, as it is the desire of the leaders
in the Assembly to adjourn on April Z.
This is the Assembly plan, but what the
Senate will do is a hard matter to deter
mine. The Senators undoubtedly want to
get away as much as do the Assemblymen,
but they don't like to rush matters In the
upper house.
During the last ten days of the session
the Committee on Rules will nave charge
of all legislation in the Assembly; but
things are going to be different this year,
as the committee will see that no bills that
should not be passed com from that body
and all bills that should be passed will be
reported, The Assembly's record thus
far this year is clean. Not a bill that has
the slightest suspicion to it has been re-
ported from the committee or passed. No
corporation grants have got through and
no strike bills lave been permitted to
see the light Of day after they reached
the committees.
But there are quite a number Of important
measures that are to be acted Upon before
final adjournment can be had. In the first
place the corrupt practices and ballot bills
must receive some consideration. Then
the question of a substitute for the present
mortgage az law will occupy some time.
The question of local option is bound to
occupy some attention, and there are a
number of bills of minor Importance to be
acted upon, insurance legislation, of course,
being paramount. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that the Senate will permit final
adjournment in the third week of April,
which means that there remains six weeks
Of the present session.

given on the Local Option bill blythe excise
committees Of the two houses, and tho
threat was made by the Anti-Saloon League
that 1t proposes to carry the temperance
question into politics.

Two Lutheran ministers, the Rev. ]. A.
Reichert Of Buffalo and the Rev. George
Miller of New York city, Joined with the
brewers and their agents in protesting
against the bill. Mr.. Reichert startled his
brother c ergymen on the other side of the
question by saying that he had found that
there were good lawyers and bad lawyers
good saloon keepers and bad saloon keepers
and good ministers and bad ministers.
He had two saloon keepers in his congre-
CATION, who were good, honest and re-
spectacle men, and he believed they should
be permitted to carry on their business: =.
John p. Smith of the Wine and Spirit
Gazette in his attack on the bill said:
I'VE find that the Anti-Saloon League
has raised during the past year or 80 $780,
campaign. Yet every time the brewers
organize and subscribe money for the pur-
pose OF opposing Legislation aimed at their
interests, the cry is raised Of bribery. We
might ask the Anti Saloon League to tell us
what they do with their money"
w: 5. Foster of New York city. repre-
senting the State Brewers Association;
Edward O'Maley, representing the Buffalo
Brewers Association, and Eugene j.. Dwyer,
appearing for the Rochester brewers, also
opposed the bill.
br. Russell, I. H. Reed, State superin-
tendent Of the Anti-Saloon League, the
Rev. NJ. r. Webster of Rochester and
Congressman W. S. Bennett of New York
city favored the bill in lengthy, speeches.
From questions Of members of the com
mittees 1t was inferred that the bill did
not stand much show Of passing. Under
its terms the clubs would have a monopoly
of the drinking business in residential dis
tricts and In no.license towns.

limit, to the Stony Point Reservation, and
thus preserve from the inroads of quarry
men Hook Mountain, opposite Ossining,
one of the most, picturesque features OF
Hudson River scenery.
The principal objection which has been
urged against the bill has been that the
requirement of the necessary property
would call for an appropriation by the State.
This has been urged in spite Of the fact that
the bill does not ask for an appropriation,
the fear having been expressed that after
the grant Of power to establish the reserva-
ton had been secured a demand for an
appropriation would follow. At yester-
days hearing witnesses emphatically as
sured the committee that the necessary
funds would come from private sources.
Senator Carpenter in an interview said
that he was receiving hundreds of letters!
not only from the counties along the Hud.
son but from places throughout the State'
asking for this legislation. He said that
never in his experience had he introduced
a bill which received such q; tremendous
backing Of public sentiment.

WASHINGTON, March s.-President Roose-

to the convention of the National Lumber

place In the East Room. He shook hands
with each OF the delegates and made the
following address:
1 wish to state what q very real pleasure II
Is to have the chance Of greeting this body
here on this occasion. hope l need not say
the very deep interest l take In not only
your business itself but in the way In which
you are carrying it on. I want to congratu-
late you with all my heart, and l congratulate
the country upon the way in which the ex-
ceptionally intelligent and energetic men
who have been engaged in numbering have
met and are meeting the changed conditions
Of their busin ess: the way in which they are
now seeking to put 1t upon a footing not OF
exploiting a given area of forest and leaving
nothing behind. but of so handling the forest
that in using it it is yet left as an asset for
their children and children's children.
The great desire | have in connection with
the Government forest service is that you
lumbermen should make the fullest use Of
that service. and l think I need not say that
II Is absolutely at your disposition. and that
the more you use 1t, the more you work in
conjunction with those engaged in managing
Il. the better it will be for the service. and /
think for you, l am pleased to learn that
you are to help in establishing a chair In
numbering at Yale.
There is no business in the United States
in which there is greater need Of having 1t
carried on with a combination of scientific
understanding and practical horse sense.
And. after all. that is the way in which every
successful business. including the business
of Governing. has got to be carried on.

show that large rebates on the transporta-
ton of sugar had been given to the American
Sugar Refining Company by the trunk lines
Of railroads running out of New York city.
and asked him II the Department of Justice
desired to use the in legal pro-
ceedin gs. An examination Of the matter
submitted showed clearly that 1t was highly
important and tended to show the giving
and receiving OF large money rebates. The
subject was then brought TO the attention
