BOROUGH PRESIDENTS MAD
Miller, Cromwell and Gresser In
dignant at Plan.

Borough Presidents Miller. Gresser and
Cromwell entered a loud protest yesterday
al the meeting OF the Board Of Estimate.
when President Mitchell OF the Board OF
Aldermen offered q resolution providing
that all officers or boards empowered to
spend money out Of the corporate stock
budget must lay before the board the plans
and specifications for proposed improve
nents before advertising for bids
That vas bad enough, but what the Dor
ough presidents objected to particularly
was the provision that during the ten
weeks adjournment Of the board in the
summer all plans must 90 10 the Con
troiler for his approval "Uhy, it will
make q regular czar out of him." said
President Gresser.
But the Mayor favored Tl7e proposition,
and the Controller said he would hold up
;he corporate stuck budget until the reso-
luton was passed, so the opposition was
Withdrawn.
Srnarting under the attempt Of the Con
troller al the last meeting to take the
management Of the Typographical bureaus
out OF the hands Of the borough presidents
Mr Miller introduced resolution yester-
day providing for the transfer Of control
Of the Bureau Of Municipal Investigation
and Statistics from the Controllers office
70 the Board Of Estimate.
But the Controller did not seem anxious
TO be relieved Of this duty, and moved
dryly that the resolution be put over for
considerat tion until December 81. 1918. which
IS the last day of the present adninistrs-
tion The Mayor thought there might be
some discussion on the proposition and
deferred II for week.
Headed by chief Croker, one hundred and
fifty fremen in uniform crowded 70 the
rsfl when the matter Of increasing their
pay came up- The requests were referred
70 the Committee on Salaries and Grades.
After adding S4os,0oo 70 the allotment Of
the Commissioner Of Charities and setting
aside 500 600 for preliminary work on q new
fire alarm system. the board passed the

Use Of Word May or May Not Be Lii
bellous. Rules AppelIate nivisinn

The Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court grappled yesterday with the oues-
ton Of whether the term affinity could be
applied to any one in an tnvidious sense.
The learned justices decided that 1t alI de-
pended in what connection the word was
used.
In the case at bar a newspaper had said
that Peter Geddes Grant. a broker, was
arrested for automobile speeding while ac-
o9npanied by his affinity. and had TO send
70 his vife for bail. Grant sued the news
paper for libel and obtained verdict for
$4,000. The Appellate Division reversed the
verdict yesterday, saying; The evidence
justified the jury in finding that the article
was false and libellous, but the lower court
erred in. permitting the plaintiff 10 submit
evidence tending TO show prior use by the
defendant CT the word affinity and meaning

f' preme Court for Decision.

closed Southbridge Savings Bank. from
which Treasurer John A Hall distracted
nearly half a million dollars, will have to

common Law rights Of the remaining de
positors. so he reserved the entire ques-
ton for the full bench.

Calls Situation Confused.

IF the subject of direct nominations Is
brought before the extra session, as We
assume that it will be. we shall strongly
urge the passage of such a measure as the
Governor and the Republican majority in
the Senate have favored The combinatio
of a minority Of Republicans and Of the
Democrats in the Senate to put through the
Meade-Phillips bill. which never was in
tended seriously, had the effect of con-
fusng the situation. I am confident that
a substantial measure will be passed in
time TO take effect this year"
Evidences of the second thought indi-
Gated by Mr.. Green are coming TO light
daily Whether this will he serious enough
to enable the Governors friends in the
Assembly TO pass a direct nominations bill
cannot be determined at this time Certainly
there can be little doubt about the senti-
rnent for this reform in some of the dis
tricts whose representatives voted against
IT, Judging by information received here
and the general tone Of the upstate news
papers. II is apparent that a reaction
much stronger than was expected by the
machine politicians who killed direct noni-
nations legislation has set in against the
methods used by them. This. coupled with
a desire on the part of Republicans to
take such action as may bring credit to
the party and the unquestioned demand
for direct nominations. advocates OF the re
form think may be counted on to produce
the requisite number Of votes at the extra
session

mot q Compromise Measure"


This bill has been spoken of as a COM
promise bill. AS a matter of fact, it was
not a compromise in any sense. It con-
tanned all the essential features of the bill
introduced by Senator Hinman and myself
in practically the language of our bill.
The difference between them was that the
judiciary Committees bill did not include
the state ticket the city ticket and can
didates for judicial positions. 1t provided.
however, for a statewide enrolment, for
a ballot which gave each party voter an
equal chance by permitting him to vote
directly for candidates for nominations or
for delegates. instead of the ballot in the
Meade-Phillips bill. which compelled him
to vote for bosses rather than for the can
didates themselves, and for the direct cleo
ton IN the primary of members of party
committees It also contained all the nu-
merous safeguards of our bill. Its passage
would insure the election of a Legislature
nominated by direct vote, and. as the oppo-
nents of direct nominations well knew, such
q Legislature would not hesitate to extend
the principle to all offices
There is a growing feeling among the
Republican members Of the Legislature
that the extra session will save a critical
situation. They realize that unless some
measure providing for genuine direct nomi-
nations is passed the outlook for next fall,
especially in many close districts, will not
be encouraging and the fact that the COM
plexion Of the next House of Representa-
tivee, TO say nothing of the entire state
ticket. will depend on the result next fall
has brought about a second thought which
is encouraging to the friends of direct
nominations

Albany, June 3.-Assemblynan George 4.
Green, introducer in the lower house of
Governor Hughess direct primary bill,
was here to-day to attend hearings on
some Of his legislation He said that II
the subject Of direct nominations was rec
commended 10 the extra session Of the
Legislature for consideration he and other
direct nominations men would urge the
passage of the so-called Cobb measure,
adopted by the caucus of Republican SEN
ators and subsequently passed by the
Senate.
Mr.. Green shares with many other direct
nominations advocates confidence that the
extra session will adopt the Cobb bill. He
pointed out to-day that to Republicans
the political outlook was distinctly not
pleasing al the present time. The fact
that the political complexion OF the Con-
gressionaI delegation from this state, as
well as the state ticket, easily might depend
on the proper response to the demand for
a real direct nominations law was bringing
about a second thought distinctly en-
coura ging, he said.
There has been pronounced change cf
sentiment among the members of Assem-
bly, since the adjournment of the regular
session. said Mr.. Green. THE vote taken
on the eve of the adjournment did not
fairly represent the deliberate opinion OF
the members. They we're tired. and many
Of them were inpa tent at the' night ses-
sion. Their main thought was TO dispose
of the bill and - away. Under these cir
cumstances many OF the friends of direct
nominations voted against the Committee
on Judiciary bill, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Senate had made it party

MANY CHANGES MADE
 IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
Water Power Sites and Altering For
 est Boundaries.

Washington. May 2I-Temporary withdrawals from the public domain for power sites were made by Secre- tary Ballinger today of approximately 3.440 acres along the John Day river in Oregon: j.5i1 acres along the Wind river. in Wyoming: S.63o acres along the Price river. co in Utah. and eos acres along the Blue river. in Colorado.
 Large tracts of land in Montana and New Mexico were designated for
 settlement under the enlarged home stead act. About 69.130 acres in the former state were placed within the
 terms of that act and 57.610 acres in
 the latter were SD designated as not
 being susceptible of successful irriga-
 ton at a reasonable cost from any
 known source of water supply An aggregate of nearly 100. 900 acres,
 has been thrown out of the national
 forests in oregon and added to the
 unreserved public domain by the latest proclamations issued by the president in carrying out the plan recently adopted for rearranging the forest boundaries.
 The following shows the total elim-
 nations from each of the four nation
 al forests in that state: Malheur 4.fS5 acres; Whitman. 6.756; Des- chutes, 16152. and Umatilla. 6g5IS acres. The total eliminations in the entire country amount to 721.7I4

Democratic Attack 0n Ad- minislratiOn's Sale Of Them
 10 THE SUGAR TRUST
Not Only Sold Below Their Value Says Maryland Congressman But Opinion of Attorney General Fav- bring Sale Anticipated

Washington, May 21.-An arrange ment of the administration sale oi the Philippine friar lands and of the activities of the sO-called sugar { trust in that archipelago was made in the house today by Mir. Covington of Maryland.
 He said everybody knew that the Rockefellers controlled the Standard Oil company and the oil fields and that the Havemeyers controlled the Sugar Refining company. which he denounced as crooked with d cum ming criminality unequaled in the country"
 He charged that the government sold the ma agnificent estate of 55.OOO acres of the san Jose estate on the dubious opinion of an attorney general at one-third the price the government paid at the time the lands were taken over from the friars.
 He referred to the activity in the sale of the firm of Strong & Cad wallader. of New York. of which Henry W. Taft. the presidents broth CT. was member. Henry w. Taft was q member of that firm at the time." interjected Mir. Martin.
 Yes" replied Mir. Covington, and it was under this councilship that the sugar trust destroyed and wrecked that independent concern. the Penn sylvania Sugar Refining company"
 Mir Covington stamped the sugar trust methods as insidiously cor rupt and its dominating factors as desperately criminal. He refeTred to what he described as the thirteen days discrepancy in the date of the attorney generals opinion and Ihe be ginning of the work by representa- tives of the sugar trust in advance of that opinion. under which the sale of the lands was permitted. It said it was evident that the sugar trust would not have begun operations in advance of the opinion as it did. un- less it had iron clad assurances that it would get the goods
 McKinlay. of California, replied. saying that it was a remarkable prop osition to say that the sugar company would go 5000 miles to get such lands

 This was the message that came to Gen. Juan Estrada. leader of the

Chavaris of the Madriz forces to close upon Rama. when he moved a small body of his forces in feint to attack the Chavaris forces At the same time Gen. Moncado, at the head of an insurgent force made forced march from Muelle de Bueys a distance of forty miles west of Rama, and attacked Chavaris' ammu- milton and provision train. The en- tire train. with 100000 rounds of ann intuition, and a large amount of pro- visions, was captured, and Chavaris supplies were cut off.
 Gen. Chavaris now holds a position facing Rama. with Gen. Mena at his front and Gen. Moncado at the rear Gen. Mena reports his loss in the feint attack as small.

THOUSANDS OF JEWS
 WILL LEAVE RUSSIA UNDER THE NEW LAW OF
 EXPULSION. Application Made in Vain for a
 Delay.

St Petersburg, May 21.-While the expulsion of Jews declared to be living Illegally without the pale has not yet actually begun. thousands of them will be compelled to leave the various cities
 where they are residing within a
 month To the edict banishing 9S0 families from Kiev. has been added an order expelling the Jews from Kursk. Tula. Kharoux, Yekaterinosiav and other cities. The number of families who are to be expelled from these lat- ter places ranges from five to 100.
 Numbers of those who are ordered expelled have telegraphed NJ Fried man. the Jewish member of the duma
 to secure a suspension of the order or at any rate longer delay in the order Of expulsion, so that they may arrange their affairs. NJ. Friedman transmitted the request to Premier Stolypin. who told him he could not interfere. as the law was clear. He advised M- Fried man, however. to appeal tO the senate. in cases where doubt existed as to the legality of expulsion. and in particu- larly distressing cases.
 IL is reported that in KakitarinOslav province there are five families who have been living there since 1883 and who when they asserted that they were legally entitled to remain were in formed they would ne sent out under guard like ordinary prisoners unless they left immediately. No forcible ex- pUlSiouS have been reported from Kiev and no general measures for the eN- pulsion of Jews from Moscow are con templated so far as Il is ascertainable
