Legislature Adjourns Wednesday.

The legislature will adjourn with
out date next Wednesday at p. m.
Whether it will meet aiagnalmos a.
Whether it will meet again almost i'm
mediately in extraordinary session
to continue the battle over apportion
ment of senatorial districts depends
largely upon whether the deadlock
between the two houses on this sub
ject can be broken between now and
the time fixed for final adjournment
of the regular session.
With the final adjournment both of
the apportionment bills, one of which
has been passed by each house, die
where they stand. The caucus obi
cation upon each Republican member
of each house to support these bills,
and these only, expires with the reg
ular session and the whole matter
can be taken up comparatively
afresh.

Robbery a Dangerous Trade.
The confession of Chris Schang, a
19-year-old prisoner at the Jail in
Mineola, l.. l., will prove, the police
believe, the undoing of the gang of
burglars which for six months has ter
rorized the wealthy colonies of Mas
sau and Suffolk counties.
According to Schang the series of
burglaries was conducted in a sys-
tematic business-like way with start
lingly successful results. Schang told
the district attorney that the pro.
ceeds of the robberles were taken 10
a Freeport hotel, which was the head
quarters of the gang, and from there
shipped to New York.
In describing the methods employed
he said that when he and his two nc.
completes entered house they worid
invariably squirt ether through the
key holes of the bed rooms in which
persons were sleeping, SO that the oc-
cupants might be affected by the
fumes, and the robbers could conduct
their operations without being dis
turbed. After carrying their plumber
from house, he declared they would
bury it in some convenient place, and
return the next night, dig it up and
take it to the hotel.

PENSION BILL VETOED
Assemblyman Burns Bill Gre
ates a Discrimination.

In Civil War All Veterans Should
Participate - If Civil Service Pen.
sion Is Intended It Should Not Be
Limited to Veterans.
Albany, June Ex-Governor Hughes
sent to the assembly last night his
veto of the veterans pension bill of
Assemblyman Burns, passed by the
senate on Decoration day, and then
described by Senator owens as "a
tribute to the boys in blue" The
governor says of the bill:
This bill provides for a pension
for every soldier, sailor or marine
honorably discharged from the army
or navy of the United States in the
late civil war, who served therein at
least 80 days, and who has been EN-
ployed for a continuous period of ID
years or more in the civil or military
service of the state, or of any city,
county, town or village thereof, upon
reaching the age of G5 years, and be-
coming incapacitated for performing
the duties of his employment
apart from the question of the ad
visibility of establishing a system OF
pensions either for the veterans OF
the civil war or for those who have
rendered service to the state, this bill
is clearly Objectionable 1t is just to
neither class and involves an inde
fensible discrimination.
IF the state were to allow pensions
upon the ground of service in the civil
war, there is no reason why the bene
fit should be limited to those veterans
who have been employed by the state
or by a municipality. On the other
hand, if a civil service pension were
to be established, there is no reason
why the benefit should be limited tc
veterans and other civil servants
should be debarred."
