AGAINST RECIPROCITY PACT
Democratic Assemblymen Forced
to Take This Stand.
IBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune

Albany, Feb e--The Republicans IN the
Assembly to-day practically forced the
Democratic members 10 place themselves
on record IS being against the reciprocity
agreement between this country and Cam
ada. which is advocated by President Taft
and is now before Congress. Assemblyman
Cuvillier called up resolution he intro
duced last week. urging the calling OF an
extra session OF Congress to revise the
Payne-Aldrich tariff downward. He had
hardly made his motion when Assembly
man Murray. of New York, offered an
amendment which struck out the entire
resolution. urged the acceptance OF the reel
procity agreement with Canada, the forti-
hcation Of the Panama Canal and the APP
polntment Of the Tariff Board. as recon-
mended by the President II also congratu-
lated President Taft on the nomination Of
Chief Justice White of the United States
Supreme Court. The Democratic majority
succeeded in defeating this amendment. the
vote being Y to 49, BY the same vote the
Cuvillier resolution was adopted
Mr. Murray characterized the Cuvilier
resolution as 'invidous, chimerical. I'M
grammatical. false In point Of view" and
as transcending the legitimate purposes OF
legislation. lie declared that Canadian
reciprocity would do more TO lower prices
than anything else, and said that the crea-
ton of a tariff commission would take the
tariff out Of politics. whereat Jimmy
Oliver calculated. 20 Lord.''
Mr. Murray thought that President Taft
was Just as big and brainy as Mr.. Cuvil-
lier and was we'll able to handle the stu
alton without any of the latter's advice
Mr. Oliver then took turn at abusing
fhe present tariff law. which he said was
"legalized robbery" of the poor. Mr.. Mer-
rift. the minority leader. took part in the
argument long enough to announce that
the next Ways and r.eans Committee of
the House of Representatives would prob
ably be made up of free traders from the
South and Southwest. and called attention
to what happened when the country had a
tariff on the free trade principle. New
York, he said was not one of the free
trade states.
Assemblymen Drummond, Levy and
Hoey all spoke for the Cuvillier resolution.
after which "Al" Smith, majority leader
gave the tip that the majority should vote
for ii unamended.
The Senate to-day adopted the resolu-
tion Of Senator Gittins asking New York
States representatives, In Congress to IA

on account Of a protracted illness, was

CANAL BOARD HEARING
Many State Organizations Viii
Send Representatives.


Albany. Feb. ga hearing Will be held
on Thursday afternoon on the bill OF Sen
ator Ramsperger. sbolishlng the Canal Ad-
visory Board Of Engineers. This bill. like
that other measure. following out the rec
concentrations Of Governor Dix, to abolish
the State Highway Commission. is creating
much adverse criticism. II was reported
to-day that even though it is enacted into
law il may be declared unconstitutional by
the courts. Many organizations from all
over the state are preparing 10 send deless-
tons 70 attend the hearing and oppose the
legislation. II is argued by those who are
against the bill that II the State Engineer.
before the creation Of these commission
a past records show, was unable to pre-
vent the misuse Of 20 per cent OF the money
set aside for highway construction. II
means the loss to the state within the next
two years OF s12,Wo.0Dn for in that time IT
ia intended TO spend SO, mo for highway
and canal construction.
With Bensel as state Engineer. Tammany
Hall under the proposed legislation. will
have absolute control Of the awarding OF
the contracts. Among associations which
will send representatives 10 the hearings
are the New York Canal Association and
the Board Of Trade and Transportation.
The reason the Ramsperger act could be
declared unconstitutional, It is said, Is be-
cause the advisory board was provided for
In the original barge canal Jaw, and was
voted for by the people IN the referendum

say that e. is in effect ? constitutional
amendment, and cannot ho finally passed
upon by one Legislature.
The purpose Of the al -isory board was

carried out that duty. fts efficiency has
been demonstrated by the fact that II will

state Engineer Bensel, In a recent speech
ar Lockport attacked the records Of the
engineers now in charge OF the canal work,
saying. among other things. that the board
was continually refusing to decide inpor-
tant questions.
When members OF the board were asked
to-day 20 make statement in connection
with Bensels speech they refused TO talk.
pointing 10 the record for proof Of what
they had accomplished. This record shows
among other things, the continual frustrat-
Of the PEOPLE OF the state. such as stopping
a Cohoes company from obtaining valuable
water power privileges at Crescent dam
and taking part in blocking the knitting
mills grab AT Oswego.

ANOTHER JUDGE DECIDED
BUCKET SHOPPING LEGAL
Justice Gould, of Supreme
Co@.!t District of Columbia,
Sides With Wright
CBy Associated Press

WASHINGTON, March 31-Justice Ash
ley NJ Gould. of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia, announced today
his determination to adopt the opinion
of Justice Wright, declaring unconstitu-
tional the attempt by congress to pass
special "anti-bucketing'' legislation.
Justice Gould is in full accord with the
finding of Justice Wright that the statute
violates the liberty of contract protected
by the constitution and that it attempts
to penalize an innocent customer, If the
broker intends that the transaction shall
be 'bucketed.
Justice Gould has had under considera-
ton the demurrers filed by Price g. Co,
of Baltimore, to an indictment charging
William B. Price and eight others with
conspiracy and another Indictment with
conducting a bucketshop.
That the victory gained by the decision
of Justice Wright and the coincidence
of Justice Gould will be a vacant" one
If the court of appeals should sustain
the invalidity of the law, is an opinion
expressed today by members of the local
bar.
Since the court of appeals, they point
out, has decided in the case that BUCK
etshop is a gambling place under the code
which prohibits setting up gaming
table, it will only be necessary for the
government to secure new indictments
charging conspiracy to commit the crime
of gaming.
The belief is expressed that such m
dictments would hold, in view of the fact
that the federal court of appeals In Grim
inal cases in the district has decided
against the bueketshops.
