 Albany, Sept Sensational devel- ,opments as to how graft and vice have fIourished in the State capital for years are expected as soon as the legislative probing into the affairs Of the city is commenced under the guid- ance Of James w. Osborne, as coun- sel for the investigators. The ac- ceptance of the position as counsel by Osborne, today, left no doubt in the minds of AlbanianS that the in vestigation will be complete and thorough When the investigators start no one will be spared.
 It is we'll known that poolrooms and gambling houses, where all kinds of games of chance could be played, were conducted openly and only closed when the Legislature ordered the in- vestigation. The famous red light district has been the scene of several raids by agents of State Commissioner of Excise Farley, and it is believed that many persons were selling li- quor without certificate. The man. agement of city affairs, particularly the finances, will be another subject for the investiga tors
 It is said that Republican leaders declare they have nothing to fear. They say if any corruption is found at all, it will be in isolated cases and will give the organization an oppor- tunity of unloading some deadweight.

The lOrimeP Scandal.

For more than a year during the
Lorimer controversy, the name of
Hines had been the overshadowing
one in connection with every grand
Jury Investigation, every trial in the
courts, every inquiry by legislatures
or their agents. Hines had frankly
gone to Washington to take charge
of the Lorimer lobby when Lorimer@
seat was in controversy. Hines had
been talked about in committee
rooms and grand jury rooms and
Prosecuting attorneys offices. Week
after week, Hines had been pointed
out in the galleries of the Senate
at Washington, and in the cafes OF
the capital city, as the real man be-
hind the scenes, the maker of Lori
mer, the financier of the Chicago
boss's Senatorial ambitions. Yet, I'M
til he was summoned before the
Helm committee, Hines had never
been called upon by any authority
to tell what he knew. He had new
er been subpoenaed or placed I'M
der oath in regard to the matter.
Why? What mysterious protect
ing power made this man immune?

munity because he was rich, and be-
cause he was associated with other
