feat The final vote was twenty-five ayes
to nineteen noes, seven republicans COM
bining with the democrats against the bill
ITwenty-six votes were necessary to pass the
! bin.
The bill was killed after the amendments
proposed by Lloyd c. Griscom chairman Of
the New York county republican committee,
and endorsed by Theodore Roosevelt, had
been incorporated in the measure by a
vote of twenty-four to twenty-one. An
emergency message from the governor made
/ it possible for the senate to vote on the
amended measure at today's session.
The result of the fight in the senate WAS
even a more positive refusal to accept
| Theodore Roosevelts leadership in the
matter than that of the assembly yester-
day.
The progressive inheritance tax as it was
amended and passed by the assembly was
enacted by vote of thirty-eight TO four,
and the bill providing for an appropriation
of $4,000 for the expenses of the eXtraor-
binary session was passed in both houses.
The direct tax bill failed of enactment.
! Having been advanced to third reading in
the assembly, it was sent to the revision
committee. The measure was not consid-

Frisbie democratic direct primary bill come
