thew Wo,dd Ieave the work. Thcy are
stiif on the job. Visitors Of the Charity
Organization Society report that they have
never seen more h nine children at the
rooms, and often one at all. Before the
hue and cry started, this brano was housed
at 43S West Fortieth street In a basement.
Although il was called a day nursery, there
was nothing in the place but an office I'M
a bedroom. The Brooklyn branch is at
1877 Adams street. Twice lately visitors
have gone there to spy out the n On
the first occasion, there was not a child in
sight, although Il was 4 O'Clock in the after
noon, too early for any working woman
TO come for her children. The other time
the place harbored one solitary child. The
matron said that she sometimes had as
many as ten children. Yet collecting is
going right on in New York and Brooklyn. =
A pure accident revealed the method OF
working Auburn, n. Y. There a solicitor
dropped a list Of subscribers on the foorof
a business office. This was headed ,lhe
National Sunshine League and bore
underneath it's motto, which appears on all
its letters and publica tions--a .pious pledge
to do q kind deed and think q kind thought
every day. The finder Of the paper, who
had been under the impression that ne vas
eiety, sent the list to the Headquarters OF
that society in New York, and it was turned
over to the Charity Organization Society.
A visitor went to Auburn and saw the men
whose names appeared on the lSt' 49,,
Some time in 1904, 1t appears, a ONO NIUE
blonde appeared in Auburn with that list.
She went through the business district,
laying them all down. To those who didn't
want the paper she said:
well. give a dollar, anyway. You
don't care where the money goes Tha
plea always brought a dollar. The sus-
picions Of one citizen were reused when he
found that the solicitor for funds to lit the
poorof New York was living at the best hotel
in the town. Afterward he called on her
there. So did some Of the other people
who had subscribed.
And" adds the report OF the visitor.
"these gentlemen didn't seem to care to say
much abut it

STICK TO STREET CLEANING
And Let Other Investigation Wait Is Alder.
mems Decision.

AUu Ltt VtitCi
mems Decision.
The Aldermen approved yesterday the
resolution appropriating $4,000 for the
street cleaning committee to allow that
body to engage special counsel TO assist
in the investigation OF the Street Cleaning
Department. Before the money becomes
available the Board of Estimate must sane
ton the expenditure. The committee had
intended to begin its inquiry to-day. but
Beipbridge Colby, who had been selected
as the special counsel, has declined the job,
and the committee must now hunt for an
other inquisitor. The probability is that
the investigation will not begin until next
week.
Alderman Wafer Dem, Brooklyn OPP
posed the granting Of the money, and re-
marked: "We had a similar investigation
in Brooklyn, and all that came OF 1t was
the discovery that some poor devils OF
ashmen had been paid a few dimes for
moving ashes from stores and hotels. The
investigation showed that no one with any
authority in the Department wa at fault,
and this investigation will probably turn
out the same way; 80 what sense is there
in going ahead with it and spending a lot
OF money for nothing"
Alderman Olvany Tam, MANI declared
that the board had no legal authority to
employ special counsel. He added that
as the committee had no power to compel
the attendance of witnesses or the answer
| ing Of questions. the investigation would
be a farce and would make the Aldermen
q laughing stock.
Alderman Meyers, the Republican leader
of the board, insisted that the. Aldermen
had full power to employ special counsel
and explained that il the Aldermen had
no such power it could be depended upon
that the Comptroller would not certify
the bills. Ultimately the bare sixty votes
which the resolution required were OBJ
tanned after three roll calls. Little Tim
Sullivan was not there. He is at some
hot springs resort. In his absence the
Tammany men voted almost in a body for
the appropriation.
A caucus of the Republican and M. o,
members before the board met decided that
until it was seen how the inquiry into the
Street Cleaning Department turned out
no more investigating resolutions should
be entertained. Alderman Meyers sale
Tint the invest cation business was trans.
forming itself into a farce. The caucus
was called because OF the knowledge thai
at least four Aldermen had prepared reso
lutions demanding the investigation O.
other departments.

LOBBY ASSEMBLIES
THE "OLD GUARD" PREPARING
FOR WORK AT ALBANY,

Understood That an Attempt Will he MADE
O Take the Sting Out OF the More Dras-
tic Armstrong Committee Bills-he-
formers Must Recko on With the senate.
ALBANY, March l3.-The insurance COM
panies do not propose to let go without d
struggle. The hearing last Friday evidently
was not the only kind OF opposition they
propose to bring forward to try TO Geo
changes in the legislation proposed by tne
Armstrong committee. The underground
system Is at work.
Evidently the insurance companies are
not quite ready to expose their mana as
yet, but it was considered quite signlncah.
when several of the "Old Guard assembled
In the Senate lobby to-day. 1t was the
frat time that they nave been out IN toroe
since the opening Of the present session
Indeed, this Is the first time that there has
been any need for them.
To-day the Senate lobby contained many
faces familiar in years gone by. ANY tlme
they were seen they were ged in earnee.
, conversation. This was taken to indicate
that they are preparing for the operations
that they are to carry on. 1t is a life ana
death struggle for them, for It the pils go
through their usefulness is at an end Tor
some years to come.
While il has been decided that as far as
the Armstrong committee is concerned
| there will be no changes in the bills OF any
consequence as far as the desires OF the
insurance companies are concerned, there
la the Senate to be reckoned with. n
extent that the Senators will go in the race
of public opinion wab never better SHOWN
than last year when the 80 cent gas Dill
was killed. And knowing that the vote on
that bill Is going to defeat many Tor re-
nomination, there is nothing to fear, as far
as a political future is concerned, by voting
against the insurance bills.
Senator Grady last week made what
many consider to be a significant remarR
In the Senate when he said he was OF the
Old Guard who voted against repeating
Section SO of the insurance law, and would
vote that way again. One OF the most
important Of the Armstrong bills repeats
that section. The repeal of this section
has been Senator Brackett's pet hobby for
several legislative sessions.
The insurance companies, apparently. dc
not plan to kill the bills, but have them &c
amended that provisions regarding the
investment of funds, limitation OF business
and reserve funds, as we'll as deferred
dividends, will have the sting taken out
Consequently. the work of the Black Horse
Cavalry, which Ia already beginning to as
semble. will be to emasculate the bills &c
that the insurance companies need feai
nothing.

HAMILTON NOT TO TESTIFY.
isn't LIKELY to Accept the Fowler Com.
mittee's Invitation.

mittee's Invitation.
Judge Andrew Hamilton has not yet
received the letter which the New York
Life Insurance C%ompany's self-invt sti-
eating committee announced had been
written to him offering him an opportunity
to appear before the committee II he de-
sired to say anything relative to the CON-
rany's %affairs.
10 n G. Milburn, counsel for the Fowler
investigating committee, has b cen out of
town for several daye. II was suggested
yeste rday that possibly Mr.. Milburn had
advised that the matter Of inviting Hamilton
befG re the committee and the proposed
D stponement Of the suit against him
until he had had q opportunity to testify
were N alters which ought TO- be passed
ON by the New York Life's board oftrustees
before t g letter was sent.
The regular meeting OF the board will be
teld to-day, and it is expected that the
Hamilton matter will be brought before it.
Hamilton has said that any communioa-
ton which the New York LIES. self-in.
vestiRatiug committee shall send him will
reoeive due and courteous consideration
II Is practically certain now that Hamilton
will not appear before the committee.
The New York LIES board OF trustees
has recommended That an action he brought
against him for an accounting and the
recovery OF a COOL deal Of the money which
the New York Life paid him.
For Hamilton to go before the committee
with the suit pending and attempt to ac-
count for his expenditures would, 1t is
declared, be tantamount TO exposing his
defenos in detail before the action Is begun.
There is nothing, it Is said, which Hamilton
would tell the committee that would not
be brought out in the trial OF the action
| against him. =.
Hamilton spent all OF yesterday in his
offices on the eleventh floor OF the New
York Life building. He was visited by
scores of his old friends. He refused To
make any statement. He will return to
Albany this morning.

The Senate, by a vote of IL to 5.adopted the
Judiciary Committees adverse report on
his inquiry resolution, and his motion to
reconsider the vote was tabled. The con-
tention Of Senator Hillery, chairman Of the
