PLANS EXTRA SESSION.
Governor Hughes Eager to Secure
Anti.Gambling Legislation.
PRESENT BODY DEADLOCKED

Executive Decides to Call a Special
Election to Fill the Vacancy Caused
by the Death of State Senator Fran
ehot, Republican.
Albany, N. Y, April 10.-Governor
Hughes has decided to call a special
election May IL for the election of a
successor to the late Senator Fran
chot. The governor believes that the
new apportionment act of last year
does not preclude him from calling
such an election, as the Forty-seventh
district was not changed.
There was also an authoritative in
timation from the executive chamber
that, IF necessary, and it will prob
ably be necessary" an extra session
of the legislature will be called by
the governor to begin May II.
The legislature has set April % as
the date for final adjournment.
1t was suggested to the governor
that certain opponents of the race
track legislation had stated that in
the event of an extra session being
called recess would be taken until
the end of the year. The governor
smiled, but refused to discuss the
matter.

.cessfully 1t is alleged that the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company secured
control Of the other company and
then closed it's plant.
The action was brought under the
Sherman antitrust act. On motion
by counsel for the defense Judge Holt
ruled that the complainant had no
remedy under this act, but stated that
there should be legal redress for the
minority stockholders of the Pennsyl-
vania company, because the complaint
indicated that the American Sugar
Refining company had destroyed that
corporation to further interests which
were greater in another direction
Permission was asked to file an
amended complaint, but Judge Holt
said he would deny it unless it was
based on some law other than the
Sherman act.

State Officials Take Charge of the

institution.
ST. Louis, April 10.-The Olive Street
bank, having capital of 100000 and
deposits of $35O,OO0, has closed it's
doors. At the usual hour for opening
the following notice was placed on
the front door, signed by r. M. Cook,
state bank examiner:
"This bank is in the hands >of the
secretary of state"
The bank was organized Dec. 1,
1902, and in 1905 it absorbed the Van
deventer bank.
Secretary of State Swanger said
over the telephone from Jefferson City

four days ago that loans outstanding
and insutf1ciently secured must be
made good and after having given the
institution this notice the matter was
turned over to State Bank Examiner
Cook Mr.. Cook, who took charge of
the bank, said:
"The bank officials had been unable
to secure further endorsements on
loans made and insufficiently secured
and for the safety of the institution
we thought best to take charge of the
bank"
The sign in front of the door attract
ed nearly 100 persons, but several po-
lice officers kept the crowd scattered
and there was no undue excitement.

DENOUNCED AS Inefficient
Bourke Cochran Criticises Mccall
Publicity Bill


Washington, April 1O-The Mccall
campaign contributions publicity bill
was denounced as wholly ineffective
by Repres entative Bourke Cochran be-
fore the house committee on election
of the president, vice president and
representatives in congress. His stric-
lures provoked former United States
Senator Chandler to give notice that
he would reply to Mr.. Cockran's at
tack.
The Mccall bill is favored by the
Democratic members of the commit
tee, who, failing last Tuesday to force
the reporting of that bill, drew up
and signed statement to the press
accusing Chairman Gaines of West
Virginia of having resorted to trickery
to retain the measure in the commit
tee. .....
Mr. Cochran, in his remarks, urged
the substitution of the Mccall bill by
a bill introduced by himself, which re-
quires every contributor of campaign
money to political parties to file a
sworn statement of the amount with
the clerk Of the United States district
court in the district wherein the con-
tribution was made.

REVIEWS RECOMMENDATION
Hughes Replies to Defeat of Anti
Gambling Bills. .

Albany, N. Y, April 0.-FolloWing
anti-racetrack gambling bills Gov
ernor Hughes sent to the legislature
a message renewing his recommended
ton for the enactment of this legisla-
ton and asking for the enactment of
eight other propositions now pending
before the legislature. The recon-
mendations include:
The passage of appropriate legisla-
ton to prevent the present so-called
discrimination Of the Percy Gray law,
which practically legalizes gambling
on racetracks.
Legislation to effect reform in
banking methods.
Direct primary nominating cleo
tons.
Legislation which will place tele-
phone and telegraph companies under
the jurisdiction of the public service
commission
The passage of bills which will ia
cilitate the construction of subWays
in New York city.
The governor also urges investiga-
ton by commission of, first, Wall
street speculation; second, the ques-
ton of immigration; third, the ques-
ton of the unemployed in this state,
and, fourth, the relation of the inferior
courts to certain criminal procedure.
Relative to the Hart-Agnew bills
the governor in his message says:
Abolish Racetrack Gambling.
II again urge you to enact appro-
pirate legislation to abolish the exis t.
ing Determinations in favor of race
track gambling. ,.-
''The failure Of the upper branch of
your honorable body to pass the meas
ures designed to effect this purpose,
after their passage in the lower
branch, cannot be regarded as dis
posing of the matter The constitu-
ton, with it's peremptory mandate,
still stands.
"The evil of racetrack gambling
fourishes not in spite of the law, but
because of the law. Legislation pre-
tending to carry out the constitutional
provision in effect nullifes it. You
are not asked to accomplish the i'm
possible or to write upon the statute
books visionary scheme Of moral
reform. You are asked to rid our law
of a vicious discrimination whereby
offenses equally condemned by the
constitution are punished as crimes if
committed in one place and are en-
couraged by the absence of suitable
penalty if committed in another
place.
Governor Hughes recommends the
creation of a commission, the mem
bers of which shall give their serv-
ices without pay, to inquire into "the
facts relating to speculation in securi-
ties and commodities, with the view
to ascertaining the manner in which
illegitimate transactions may be pre-
vented and legitimate business safe
guarded"
