AUTOMOBILE BILL AMENDED
Change Prohibits Villages from
Making Traffic Regulations.
by Telegraph to The Trit

BY Telegraph to The Tr1bune.l
Albany, May 17.-Another amendment TO
the much-amended CalIan automobile bill.
this time in the Senate, has greatly i'm
proved its chances of passing the Legisla-
ture this session. This amendment. de-
signed to meet the objections of many
Senators, will take away from small towns
and villages the right they would have
under the bill as it stands to make their
own traffic regulations. That power. how
ever, will be left TO cities of the first class.
Automobile owners and many Senators
objected to the clauses. which provided
among other things that cities and in
corporated villages should have power to
make their own automobile traffic regula-
lions. The automobile people protested
that this clause would permit any village.
If It chose. absolutely to exclude auto
mobiles from a state highway that CHANGED

grams and letters in on the Senators, beg
ging them to vote down the Callan bill.
1T might take two weeks under this bill
TO run from Buffalo to New York" said
Senator Hamilton, because it might be
necessary to go around every village.
don't say villages would put such regula-
tons into effect, but they could, and it
would be dead wrong
Hearing of the opposition among the
members of the Senate, Assembyman Cal
Ian got busy this afternoon to see if some
sort Of an agreement could not be reached.
After a talk with the Governor he found.
he said, that the Chief Executive would
consent to the withdrawal of the clause
giving cities and incorporated villages the
right to make their own traffic regula tons.
The Senate leaders said that they would
accept an amendment to that effect, and
the bill was amended before the Senate
adjourned tonight. 1t is understood that
the bill will be passed at the end of three
Gays and that the Assembly will concur
in the amendment.
Alfred Ely, representing the board of
governors of the Automobile Club of
America, who was in the Senate lobby
this afternoon, said that with the local
traffic regulation clause out the automo-
bile owners would favor the bill

Democrats. and in ordinary times by a
coalition for spois''
Assembiyman Andrew F. Murray of the
18th Assembly District predicted that the
Hinman-Greene bill would be the law of
the state, if not this year, then in the near
future
The people of the state are for the di-
rect nominations bill" he said, and at
the coming election they will register their
approval and demand it's speedy enactment
by their votes
The Assemblyman said he was in favor
of the adjustment of the Rules Commit
tee in the Assembly as an institution that
was autocratic, giving the power TO a few
men to say what bills should come in and
so out.
Judge William H. Wadhams, president
OF the Direct Primary Association of the
state, said that there was never so much
fight in the association throughout the
state at this time, and that If the Hin
man-Green bill was defeated now the fight
would go on Systematically until the bill
had become law.
Gilbert E. Roe, who was associated with
Governor La, Toilette in the seven-year-
fight for direct primaries in Wisconsin,
reviewed the struggle in that state and
encouraged the fighters for a similar
measure here. Professor Charles Austin
Beard, of Columbia University, also spoke.

FOCUS FOR SUBWAY LINES
Common Concourse in Grand
Central Station Planned.

A PROPOSAL for a common concourse for
the New York Central and all the subway
lines about 42d street and the Grand Cen
trail Station, as it will be when present i'm
provements are completed. was referred by
the Public Service Commission yesterday
to the engineers of that body for consider
alton.
The proposal, forwarded to the commits
sion by Ira A. Place, vice president of the
New York Central system, provides for a
general concourse on the level of the pres
ent rnezzanine floor leading to the Inter
borough subway and extending east to Lex
ington avenue. This concousse would be
available for the passengers wishing to use
the present subway, the tracks of the New
York, New Haven Hartford, the Broad
way-Lexington avenue road. which are on
the first level, and also for the McAdos
tunnel and the Steinway tunnel, which oc-
cupy deeper levels.
The engineers Of the New York Central
have prepared plans for the proposed joint
tunnel and suggest that the express sta
ton of the Broadway-Lexington avenue
route be at 42d street. instead of at sd
street. Thus it would be possible for a
passenger reaching the city on the New
York Central to reach any of the subways
mentioned, or vice versa. without leaving
the protection of a roof.
Informal conferences have already been
held among engineers of the various COM
panies and the engineers.of the commission,
and Mr.. Place suggests that general con-
ference of all the parties interested, includ-
ing the city, might reach solution. The
Public Service Commission recognizes that
the proposed joint concourse offers many
advantages and no physical obstacles. The
questions to be examined into are those of
the legality and the cost of the proposal.

Albany, May 1.-THE Assembly to-day by
a vote of s. to Is passed the bill of Mr..
Merritt, the majority leader, placing tele-
phone and telegraph companies under the
jurisdiction of the I'd District Public Ser
vice Commission.
When the bill was reached on the cal
endar several Democratic and Tammany
members jumped at the opportunity TO
criticise the Public Service commissions.
Their opposition, however, fell on deaf ears,
for II was understood that the leaders of
the House had slated this bill to pass.
Assemblyman Oliver characterized the
Public Service Commission as the greatest
legislative fake ever perpetrated.'' He ex-
pressed regret that he had been "'buncoed'
into voting for the passage of the original
bill. AssemblyTnan OConnor declared that
the Public Service Commission in New
York did nothing for the public. snd that
the members did not begin to earn their
salaries. Assemblynan Hoey and 'Al'
Smith Joined the chorus.
During the debate on the bill Assembly
man Harwood offered an amendment plac-
ing the telephone companies of New York

trict Commission. but 1t vas defeated by

passed the Assembly, would make lawful a
marriage where the contracting parties are

both are below the age of legal consent, if
the marriage was contracted with the con-
sent of at least one of the parents Of each
party or of the guardian. Under the pres
ent law the consent of both parents must
be secured If they are living. Another Gar
fem bill passed makes it possible to annul
a marriage if one or both of the parties

The Stomach Cannot Res.

1t is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins. in the mouth and does not
end uptil the food has reached the in
testines.. The salivary glands in the
mouth. the stomach. lower stomach, liver,
spleen. etc, take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes. or any other
organ. Pepsin .paucreatin, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
of. food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri.
tating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this. They also con-
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive Rydale's Stomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way it
can be cured. Ask us about them. Eli

The Maryland Shellfish Commission
has recommended certain changes in the
Haman Oyster Culture Law, which the
Commission is firmly convinced must be
made before the law will accomplish that
for which it was enacted. The law is
one of vital importance, as though the
promotion Of oyster culture on the barren
bottoms Of the bay and tributaries, vast
possibilities are held out for the increase
Of revenues of the State for the improve
ment of public roads for, which purpose
the surplus revenues are appropriated by
the law.
AS the survey of Ahe vast area Of
Natural Oyster grounds beneath the tide
waters Of the State approaches compile
ton, it is estimated that $50 900 acres,
will ultimately be brought under state
Of profitable oyster culture.
OF this latter area, it may be conserva-
lively stated that about 100, 900 acres is

leased BY those;:desiring to engage in the
business Of bedding and planting oysters.
When It is considered by high authori
ties that the Chesapeake Bay and tribu-
taries furnish some ofthe best oyster pro-
dncing area in the United States, it is ap.
parent to those who have given the sub

Proposed Forest Fire Legislation

A bill just introduced in the State
Legislature by Senator Biddison makes
some needed changes in the present forest
FIRE laws that should prove very benefi.
cial. 1t is along the lines of legislation
in other states which are in advance Of us
in this important matter, and where such
Legislation has brought very satisfactory
results. The proposed law divides the
expense Of extinguishing forest fires
equally between the County and the
State. Under the present law the County
has 10 pay the entire expense of extin-
gushing forest fires, and then has the
power to collect the costs from the land
owners on whose account the money was
expended. This means that the land
owner who suffers most from forest fires
must not only sustain the loss, but paw
the largest share of the expense of put.
ting out the FIRE for which he is probobly
no way responsible.
The forest fire question is an important
one. Timber is becoming too valuable to
permit fires TO injure the forests year after
year without attempting TO suppress them
and give the young growth a chance TO
develop. in order TO furnish timber for
the next generation.
This bill in addition gives the forest
wardens the power Of arrest in case Of
detected violation of the forest laws, ard
also gives them the power to summon
help TO extinguish forest fires. The bill
should have the support of all woodland
owners.
