Albany. March 29-The Assembly Judi
ciary Committee this afternoon gave
hearing or the Merritt-Coats proposed
constitutional amendment. permitting water
storage under certain restrictions in the
forest preserves. There were present large
delegations from Vatertown, Fort Edward
and other places in the northern part OF
the state, and strong arguments in favor
OF the measure were made b. representa-
tives Of the InternatiJGIi Paper Company.

1T by the flooding Of the state lands.
William Mcconnell. assistant secretary
OF the Board Of Trade and Transportation
Of New York City. spoke against the meas
ure. He believed that the Legislature
should take up one proposition at time
ana that the Merritt measure was too
broad BESIDES the water storage pro-
vision affecting the forest preserve, the
resolution would permit tina laying out Of
camp sites, the building Of highways
through the forest preserve under the d.
rection of the Highway Commission and
tic cutting OF dead and fallen timbe- in
the forest preserve
Mr.. Mcconnell declared that the Board
Of Trade and Transportation was opposed
TO any schens OF water storage in the
Adirondacks which did not provide for
state supervision ana ownership. He said
that the board four years ago favored a
law directing the State Water Supply Com
missio.: to make plans for water storage
system under the direction OF the state,
and that the recommendations OF the COM
mission We're worthy OF attention by the
state. lie said that bill was now being
prepared 10 carry out the plan Of the CON-
mission and that constitutional amend
ment would be necessary.

Ia Congress Senator's Root and Depew

themselves on the findings OF the state
Senate. There was 4 unanimous opinion
that the verdict was rendered on tLe evi-
dence presented and without regard to per-
sOnal opinion or outside influence. II was
also generally agreed that the resignation
Of Senator Aids and the slacrity with
which his record was investigated will have
a beneficial effect in the campaign.

an insult TO the New York Senate"

New York, Sept 20.-Vice- Presi-
dent James s sherman, candidate Of
the old guard for temporary chairman
Of the republican state convention, was
defeated in his own assembly district,
the second of Oneida county and in
his own ward in the city of Utica, at

According to reports received at re-

night that Mr.. Barnes claim that Mr.
sherman would have a majority OF
55 in the convention was absurd and
expressed confidence that Mr.. Roose-
welt would be named. Mr.. Griseom
said:
THE action of the republican vot-

repudiating him at the polls will have
profound effect on the party
