Explanations Fail to Explain.

Explanations offered by Governor Dix.
Mr.. Collin himself and others fail To
explain the mystery Of his presence and
activities in Albany. The presence Of
1, Charles f Murphy Of Tammany, there
is recognized by many Democrats as
scandal at which they invcigh bitterly.
But he Is boss Of the Legislature and
the state administration, and has nu-
merous things for his minions TO do. in
Guiding the election Of a Senator. and
many little pieces of patronage To pick
up. SO his presence. though more or less
unwClcom. TO many. is eXplainable. Mr..
Collin isn't very mum about what he IS
doing in the Capitol. He couldn't con-
ceal his tracks very well. But when
asked whom he represents there. and
VINO is paying him, his answer is:
I'm damned if ! know
Governor Dix doesn't shed much more
light on the subject In view of Mr..
Collins activities. the Governor was
asked to-day if he intended to throw
out William Church Osborn and put Mr..
Collin in his place.
"Oh, no, l hadn't thought Of it," he
replied.
In what capacity is Mr. Collin act
ing? Is he a special counsel or al
visor" was asked.
NO. / believe he is deputizod by the
Attorney General to act in certain mat
ters of legislation with which he is IA
miliar" ansv cred the Governor.
"Mr. Collin appeared Yesterday before
the Senate Canals Committee To advo-
cate the bill putting control Of the Barge
Canal Terminal Commission into the
hands Of Democratic officials, and admit
ted to the committee that he drew it,"
was suggested.
We'll | believe he was acting accord
ing 10 an arrangement with the Attorney
General and State Engineer Bensel." re-
piled the Governor
"He IS said to have told people that
he drew the Murtaugh- Collin highway
commission bill. which is called your
bill in the Legislature. Did he consult
with you about it,"
81 don't know anything about that. /
never see, bills until they come to me-
the Governor answered.
Conflict Of Opinion About Collin.
st the Attorney Generals Office there
WAS n lamentable conflict of opinion
about the functions Of MIR. Collin. A
aepdty, who was asked about the mat
ter first. said Mr.. Collin had nothing TO
do with that department. but was work
ing for the Governor in drafting bills
and could be found any time I'm the
executive Offices. Mr.. Carmody. the At
tornev General. first said that he had
consulted with Mr.. Collin about mat
| ,.rs outside the routine work of the
oGice. but that he had NJ connection
with that department. Later he issued
this formal statement:
"Mr. Collin is engaged on work con-
nected with the legislative branch Of the
executive department, and II was
thought best TO have him assigned under
| come designation from the Attorney Gen
erals office, the form of which has NOT
been decided upon. The matter ~ his
compensation Is not for me 10 deter
mine"

The senate. however, presented

lowing bills:

Ruef, San Fraacisco's convicted
boodling boss, was rearrested and
taken to Jail early to-day following
the sudden action OF the California
supreme court in vacating its recent
order granting RUFF a rehearing. THIS

the supreme court will interfere In
his favor. Ruef was arrested on

The vacation OF the rehearing order
came after a storm OF criticism had
been aroused by the supreme courts
original order and after a resolution
had been introduced in the legisia-
ture for an inquiry into the supreme
courts methods.
The original order for a rehearfng
was signed by four justices at differ

order and then left the State when 1t
