AGAINST W0MEN'S COURT
Magistrates Oppose That Part
of Page Recommendations.
TBy Telegraph TO The Tribune

Albany, April eS.-opposition to various
features of the Birmingham bill embodying
the recommendations of the Page COM
mission on the inferior courts was voiced
by several magistrates OF the 1st Division.
New York, before the Senate's committee
to-day
Magistrates Butts. Herbert, Cornell and
Breen argued vigorously against the sepa-
rate night court for women advocated by
the Page commission. They maintained
also that much harm would be done If the
police probation officers and police at
tendant. at their courts were to give place
to civilians.
William ]. Wright. Deputy Commissioner
of Corrections. oIp posed that feature of the
measure providing for free telephone calls
for prisoners and the installation OF mes
senger calls in the detention rooms. He
said this was unnecessary, and defended
the present official messenger system"
There isn't any such thing IS an official
messenger" interrupted eX-Justiee Mayer
counsel 10 the Page commission. Those
fellows who hang around with badges size
UP the prisoners, and II they feel like going
on errands they GO N they don't they for-
get the messages They're not hcehsed' i
they're not appointed under any law or
subject to any obligation of duty.
Those magistrates who appeared against
the bill were not against the entire meas
ure but only certain features. Magistrate
Butts favored the domestic relations couT',
but vas against the abolition OF the police
probation officers Magistrate Cornell was
against the separate court for women. as
vas Magistrate Herbert.
Magistrate Cornell also thought II entirely
too much to expect magistrates in the night
court to work from p. m. to a. m. SO
did Magistrate Breen. He said il was no
hardship for prisoners TO wait until p. n.
10 be arraigned.
Some Of them ought 10 wait longer than
that" said he. and some Of them ought
10 stay over night in JAIL
Among those who appeared in favor Of
the bin were Miss Msude Z. Miner. secrc-
tary Of the New York Probation Associa-
ton: Mrs. G. S Mulliner. who spoke for
the separate night court for women; Ralph
Jacobs of the Juvenile Probation Commits

SUNDAY BASEBALL WINS
Assembly Passes Bill Permitting
Play Where No Charge Is Made.
IBy TeleSraph to The Tribun..

Albany. April sS.-The Assembly to-day
proved sad disappointment TO those who
come to Albany every year TO prevent the
breaking down OF Sunday laws. The lower
house had hardly .quelched the local op-
tion for cities proposition when 1t took up
the argument on the McGrsth bill. 20 per-
nit amateur baseball on Sunday after
noons where no admission fee is charged.
Speaker Wadsworth. himself baseball en-
thusiast, left his chair 10 argue for the bill
on the floor.
The bill was finally passed by vote Of
Il to 81. II was only after hard work that
its supporters got the necessary votes.
After the calling of the roll was finished
the first time two or three votes were lack
ing. The absentees were called for. One of
those who answered TO this call was the
ina 1ority leader. Mr. Merritt. who voted for
the bill. Then one or two members inciud-
ing Assemblyman Harry Haines. Of West
chester. after much persuasion, changed
their votes from the negative TO the afirrna-
tive.
Speaker wadsworth declared that he Rad
cast his vote for the bill for several years
whenever it had come up.
Il believe in Sunday laws" he said
which relate to amusements that are not
OF an innocent character, and do not act
against the poor and give advantage 10 the
rich. The poor do not complain against the
rich who go to church on Sunday morning
and then play golf. tennis or go automobil-
ing in the afternoon. The law now stares
the poor man in the face, and that's one
reason why I'm opposed to it in its present
form. The young men who work for a liv-
ing. and often for a mere pittance. have
nothing to look forward 10 but Sunday for
their recreation. What do you expect them
TO do II they can't play baseball? Go to
Coney Island and drink beer all day
Sunday"
When Assemblyman Perkins. in attack
ing the bill, said that il was favored by the
noisy element. which sometimes becomes
victorious at the polls, Speaker wadsworth
laughed heartily.
Il see the Speaker laughing" Mr. Perkins
said, and while hold him in high regard
and respect him greatly as a gentleman
am forced to the conclusion now that on
this proposition he Is making 4 mistake
personally and politically"
During the rollcall Assemblyman Nc
Inerney, Of Rochester. made a bitter at
tack on Assemblymsn Gray, who had
spoken strongly in opposition TO the bill.
He declared that Mr.. Gray had no red blood
in his veins and that his heart had
as much warmth about IL as the purest of
distilled ice water
