B4SSETT NOT TO RESIGN.
Disappointed OUer Robinson Bill
TetO. but Not "Qutter.

Edward NJ Bassett, Public Service Commissioner,
denied yesterday a that he intended to re-
sign because the Governor vetoed the Robinson
bill While the bill its way through the
Legislature Mr.. Bassett told Brooklyn people that
the commission favored 1t. and the persons he
hold supposed that he spoke for the Governor
The bill would have permitted the city 10 enlist
private capital the building OF subways under a
longer lease than permitted by the Elsberg law.
When the Governor vetoed the bill Commissioner
Bassett and his colleagues were much disappointed
I never tried 10 conceal my disappointment over
the veto Of the bill' said Commissioner Bassett
yesterday
DO you contemplate resigning?'
I DO not" said the Commissioner Il am no
gutter"
Commissioner Bassett thinks that the next Leg
islature VIII enact a law in conformity with the
Governors suggestions in his memorandum.
Controller Metz said yesterday that TO begin work
on the Fourth avenue subway, on the lines
proposed by the Public Service Commission would
cost nearer 900 600 than 100000 the figure named
by the commission
In figuring on the first and second sections the
cost of The land owned privately which is needed
must be taken into account, said the Controller.
There many parcels owned by private parties,
particularly at the turning points that would have

ing the Belmont tunnel proves that acquiring the
needed parcels viii be very costly undertaking
costing perhaps 81 600 0O1 which, added the
missions estimate Of IS Oo00eo makes the approx
mate size Of the first appropriation about S,oo07o0.
The commissions proposal that We build small
portions of various sections at a time looks well
enough its face, but must consider how long
1t would to build entire tunnel that
plan. Probably II would take five six years.

New orleans, March 29 Tony Costa sentenced to Imprisonment for life in the Louisiana State penitentiary for the part he played in the Kidnapping and murder of S-year-old Walter Lam ana in New Orleans last June. has served his time.
 News reached New Orleans today that Costa had died in the penitentiary hospital as a result of a physical break down several days ago and had been buried in the prison burying grounds yesterday.
 costas death recalls one of the most thrilling tragedies ever recorded in the police annals of the city of New Or leans. Walter Lamana, a child of a well-to-do Italian, was Kidnapped and in spite of the strenuous efforts of sew erai hundred detectives. police and vigiiantes. the kidnappers for a long time e1uded capture. The headlest body of the child was found in swamp by vigilantes ard police several weeks later.
 Costa and six other Italians were arrested and four of them sentenced to serve life terms in the penitentiary for alleged parts in the conspiracy to kidnap and murder the child for, whom a heavy ransom was demanded.

LUSK KNOCKED OUT BY PEARCE Another Bill is Declared
 Unconstitutional PET MEASURE OF c0MER Court Says It Contravenes Organic
 Law.
 sThreefold Damage Act" Drawn by the Doughty Senator From Marshall VIII Not Hold

Elba, March 2s.--(SpeciaD-Judge H. A Pearce of the Twelfth Circuit has declared unconstitutional the Three fold Damage Act" introduced by SeLIe tor John A. Lusk and promptly made a law by the Legislature of 1907 on the declaration that 1t was ''an ad- ministration measure."
 The act provided that any shipper who lost his goods on common car rier could recover from the common carrier threefold the amount of the value of the goods. The first suit in Alabama brought updcr this act was that filed by J. H. Lee. a well known citizen of Coffee county. against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad The suit was brought in a State court be- fore Judge H. A. Pearce. regarded as one of the most learned of the States judges. The railroad resisted the award of the damage claimed on the grounds that the act was unconstitu- tional. It was contended by the att torneys for the Company. first. that the title of the act did not conform with its subject matter and second that the act would deprive the Company of it's property without due process of law.
 The case was ably and exhaustably argued. The suit was regarded as a most importantSissue and the attorn- eys submitted the arguments that were regarded as being especially able. Spe- cfal interest attched to the fact that Hon. R. If. Arlington, the successful attorney in the issue, was a member of the Legislature. which passed the act.
 After considering the arguments, Judge Pearce held that the act was unconstitutionai.
 The act in question during it's pass age through the Legislature of 1907 was known as Senate Bill No. 2. Its author was Senator John A. LuSk who introduced 1t on the first day of the session.
 The bill was hurried through the Legislature Some of the minority Senators eontended that the act was unconstitutional at the time. but their objections were brushed aside with the announcement that the bill was "an administration measure"
 The bill was regarded as one of the principal features of the early acts which went to make up the Governors g Railroad code.
 The knockout blow given 1t in Judge Pearce's decision had aroused consid- erable interest, coming as this decision does. from a State Judge on the heels of decisions from Federal courts knocking out other unconstitutional acts.
 It is not yet known whether an appeal will be taken.

QUIET IN NEW YORK
ROBERT HUNTER DEFIEs METRO
 PoLITAN POLICE.
Says He Would Have Spoken at Union Square if Riot Had Not Be- gan--SOciaIints Deplore
 Violence. 2

New York. March 2s.--Robert Hun ter. the noted sociologist, tonight de- sclared that he was not only present Fat yesterdays demonstration of the un- employed in Union Square, that ended in bomb explosion, but that had op- portunity offered he would have ad- dressed the crowd in defiance of police prohibition and so brought about a test in the courts of the rights of free speech.
 It had been advertised that Mir. Hun ter would address the meeting but in the excitement that followed the action of the police in driving the crowds from the square he was lost sight of and not until today was it generally known that the settlement worker was on hand prepared to carry out his part of the program even if 1t had led to his arrest.
 This proved to be a busy Sunday for the police and the Socialists who were responsible for yesterdays demonstra- tion. There was no act of violence or disturbance of any sort but the police were busy looking up the record of the bomb thrower and others under arrest while the Socialists were as active in repudiating symathy with the outrage and knowledge of the perpe- trator.
 Selig siIverstein, the youth in whose hand the bomb exploded as he was about to .hurl 1t at Captain Miles o'Reilly and his squad of twenty men. was still alive in Bellevue Hospital to- night.
 Though the explosion tore off his right hand and caused frightful bodily injuries. he may survive. As yet he cannot see. but the sight of one eye may be restored.
 Seven men arrested after the bomb explosion were arraigned in court to- day. Of the number six called them selves Russians. One of them was an American. They were held in S3.000 bail each for further examination. while the American wal held without bail They are charged with taking part In a riot.
 The police today examined & half dozen persons. including S. Yanofsky. editor of Freie Arbeitersteimme. All declared that they had advocated peace in the adjustment of industrial dis putes. It was also announced that the police were looking for Alexander Berkman and Alexander Havey, who Is connected with the publication, Moth CT Earth" Several other men are also sought and 1t was given out that two detectives had been sent up State instructed to make certain arrests.
 The general committee of the local Socialist party met today and set forth their side of the story. They claimed that the meeting was made up of law abiding persons and accuse the police of melting the people to riot. Many statements were issued by committees, all deploring the acts of violence.
