THIS BILL H PUZZLE
Assemblyman Bald1cin You'd Make
Legislative Journals E1idence

Travis H. Whitney. who watches LEGISLATION at
Albany as the representative OF the Citizens
Union, said on his return TO this city last night
that considerable mystery and mischief seemed
to Turk in a bill introduced by AssembIvman
BALDWIN, OF Syracuse. TO amend the law relat-
ing to the legislative journals
The amendment consists OF the following ad-
dition to Section % of the present law: The
record Of proceedings OF each house as con-
tanned In Its Journal printed under the direction
of its clerk when printed. shall be deemed TO be
the original record of such proceedings for an
purposes, and may be read in evidence
Exactly what was intended to be accomnIIsbad
by such as Joker was not known to Mr. More
land, the floor leader of the Assembly Mr.
Whitney said, but there was a suspicion that II
was meant TO validate some bills which passed
the serate or the Assembly when there was less
than the constitutional number of members
present, but which have been printed as having
passed in the presence OF the required three
ntths- There was some question he said
whether the transfer tax law and the law 10
which the Remsen Gas bill was an arnendr,ent
had oeen passed so as TO comply with the con-
sututlonal requirement
The danger in the proposed amendment. Mr.
hltney said, was that IL would enable the
clerk and the public printer TO validate or in
Va!lds'e any law without reference to the legal
action of the legislature II might create =
gold mine for somebody.
The journals OF the legislature are not printed

Washington, Feb. 2.-Considerablc interest at

but there are few Democrats who regard their
scheme as likely TO meet with the slightest
success
II WAS asserted in Democratic circles to-day
that aside from Senator Patterson every Demo-

lucky, recently convicted OF hazing at Annapolis
Naval Academy.
The reasons assigned for the pardon that
Miller IS one Of the best students of his class.
that his academic record is excellent, and that,
so far as known, ms case is the only OF
hazng with which lis has been connected; that
he undoubtedly committed offence against
the military laws. but that dismissal would be
a harsh punishment for single instance of
misconduct involving no cruelty or immortality
on his part and no serious hardship or ignominy
on the part of others.
Secretary Bonaparte points out in his indorse-
ment that Miller should be punished, but that
dismissal would nfiict greater injustice than to
let the offence go unpublished
