COONEYCOWEST OPOWER
ZION" Says Quit "ResoIutin' and
Rip Up EleUenth 4renue Tracks.

The Eleventh Avenue Track Removal Association
held another mass meeting night at Hermitage
Hall Eleventh avenue and 9Th street It was not SO
much in the nature Of an indignation meeting as
those that have gone before-in fact Henry T.
Schneider chairman secretary of the legislative
committee and last night the principal speaker.
said the gathering ought 10 be a jubilation meet
ing because the ISOLATION had succeeded in pre-
venting. al least for the time being. the repeal OF
the SAKE bin az Albany. Mr.. Schneider however.
qualified his optimistic views by adding that the
tracks are still IN Eleventh avenue. And, besides
nobody looked upon the proceedings as true Flew
enth avenue Jubilation for not once during the
meeting did the swing that separate the meet
ing hall from the barroom in front.
SIR. Schneider told Of his visit TO Albany 70 fight
against the bill intended a substitute for the
SAKE measure and of his talk with Governor
Hughes. The Governor did not commit himself"
he said. Then, according 10 Mr.. Schneider, Gov
ernor Hughes asked about the committee OF fifty
and he explained that the only bona fde resident"
in the district the committee was the Rev. John
p Chadwick. rector OF ST. Ambrose's Church. Mr..
Schneider also mOdestly explained that he repre-
scented the real residents and let his hearers into
the secret OF how he got his associations protest
20 the Senator's. He had printed some envelopes
closely resembling those used by telegraph COM
pany and placing in each copy of the protest,
had them placed the desks of the solons. Sew
eYal Of the Senators responded in brief and dplo-
matte language. Senator Agnew said that he would
give the bin serious consideration and Senator
Carpenter SAID 4 would receive his careful
sidcration'
OF course, Mr.. Schneider resoluted some more
last night. The resolutions included vote OF
thanks 20 Governor Hughes for his promise Of
public hearing on any measure affecting Eleventh

themselves TO oppose repeal OF the SAKE law
