Meets Al Objections Noe.
[By Telegraph TO The Tribune ]

Albany. March 5.-Senator Page tonight
amended in several important particulars the
City Clubs Rapid Transit BILL which he has in
troduced. AS the bill bears his name. he is de-
termined, he says, To have II a bill which he can
approve. The amendments limit the time of con-
tracts for operation to twenty and twenty-five
years instead Of fifty years. and forbid the giving
of perpetual franchises TO any road save an in
terstate one having a terminal in New-York
City. the franchise to the terminal and
trackage in New-YoIk City.
The bill cOmpels the printing of advertise
Inents calling for bids for Joint contracts for
construction, equipment and operation and
other advertisements for separate contracts for
construction. equipment and operation. Abso-
lutte discretion is left to the Rapid Transit Com
mission and the Board of Estimate, having both
sets OF bids. to choose the more advantageous.
These amendments, which represent the labor
of eminent transit specialists with Senator Page.

EXPECT STORMY DEBATE
Committee Nay Be Discharged from
Considering Bank Inquiry.

Albany, March 5.-If the meeting OF the Senate
Finance Committee tomorrow does not result in
the reporting of the Assembly resolution for an
investigation of the State Banking Department. a
motion on wednesday 10 discharge the committee
from further consideration Of the resolution Is ex-
pected. Senator Stevens probably will take this
course. He intended last week to protest against
further Delay OF action the resolution. but was
forestalled by Senator Markss speech in behalf Of
his resolution for a blanket resolution. Senator
Bracket also is stirred up the continued
delay.
Senator MaIby. chairman of the committee. was
expected here tonight. but did not come. Whether
he viii be able attend the meeting tomorrow
seems doubtful and in the present condition within
the committee where Senator Stevens and Senator
Armstrong about the only ones trying TO get
out resolution for thorough investigation, his
absence may be made the excuse for more delay. -
From all indications, the committee meeting Will
be stormy Debate Will be on the question 10
ing the ecope OF the inquiry 70 the actual charges
fled against Superintendent Kilburn, on which the
Governor already has passed another limiting
the investigation TO the laws governing the State
Banking Department. Over these issues last week
the committee reached deadlock.
Senator Raines said that probably resolu-
ton would be drafted at the committee meeting to-
morrow and reported. The resolution will be so
worded as to limit the inquiry 20 the banking de-
partment. and there is impression that the
power to appoint the committee will be vested in
the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the
the Senate will have to go to the Assembly for
concurrence,

the deed. Carl Schroeder. of No. l34 East 4oth
street. the watchrnan, was lured away by the
receipt of a false message that his house was
burning, and when he returned he found the
place almost wrecked
The same firm had a derrick dynamited at
ll5th street and ST. Nicholas avenue two weeks
ago and at that time the firm laid the blame
for the outrage on the Housesmiths and Bridge

II was Just about midnight when Schroeder
received q telephone message that his home in
10th street burning and that his mother
was being burned TO death. Almost frantic, he
hurried home There he found the message had
been false one.
Suspicious by this time he hurried back to
the foundry quickly possible. but was too
late to stop the attempt to wreck the place. He
