COURT JOKER BILL KILLED
Measure to Increase Salaries
Dies in Assembly.
[By Telegraph TO The Tribune.

Albany, March 6.-The Assembly tonight
killed the bill to increase the Jurisdiction
of the municipal courts of the city OF New
York from suits involving 500 to 1880. AL
though introduced by Assemblyman Colne,
a Republican, OF Kings County, the bill
was supported by most of the Manhattan
Democratic members. 1t lacked five votes
OF getting the required number. In attack
ing the bill Assembyman Stoddard. Repub-
ucan. of New York. said that IL was an
effort to interfere with the poor mans
court.
"At present" he said. the poor man.
who generally has cases involving less than
$500. can go into this court, without law
yer. II necessary, and have his case settled
in a few days. II you enact the Colne bill
YOU will clog up the calendar so that this
will be impossible"
Assemblyman Dana said he intended TO
vote for the bill until he looked up its
history. AS first introduced. he said, II con-
tained a provision increasing the salaries
of municipal judges from 5000 to $4,000
year.
Fearing that they could not pass 1t with
this provision" he added, they split IL
into two bills, and the one on the calendar
tonight is merely precursor to measure
nroviding for the salary increase, which is
The main purpose OF the legislation. l do
not believe the work OF municipal judges
warrants the increase of salary to $4,000"

MOVES AGAINST INCOME TAX
Assembly Committee Reports Resolu
tion to Rescind 1911 Action.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.

Albany, March 6-The Assembly Judi
clary Committee tonight voted to report
the concurrent resolution OF Assemblyman
Hinman. OF Albany County, resembling ;he
action OF the Legislature of last year in
favorlng the proposed income tax amend
ment submitted to the various states by
the federal government.
William Barnes, jr.. the Republican state
chairman. is back Of the Hinman resolu-
ton, but while he might force it through
the Assembly there Is little or no chance
for II in the Senate.
Mr. Hinman said that there has been
doubt whether the state could rescind IT'S
ratification and go on record as opposing
the present income tax amendment lie
DID not believe Congress or the Secretary
Of State could decide that by the adop-
ton OF a resolution New York has IRE
vocably given its assent. Mr.. Hinman said :
II the pOwer of the state to accept or
reject a proposed amendment is single
.ower-a power to dct-dnd II the power
- completely spent by ratlilcatioh II
must be as completely spent by an anlrm-
alive rejection; for example, the rejection
OF tho Legislature in 1910. Conversely II
the rejection OF the Legislature IN l9l0
may be revoked so may the rauHcaton OF
1911. IL Is the consent OF the states "IlCl
alone can make proposed amendment Il

OF the constitutional convention clearly
show that the actual rattication oy the

versal OF it's decision. ,,,
There Is no precedent against resembling
which can be said to have determined @ tnat
a state has no such right. In cases where
II has occurred il has developed that II
was not necessary to count the state re-
scindng because the necessary three
fourths vote had been otherwise obtained.
NV contention Is that the State OF New

Militia, who is also the president OF the

the pending hill in the Legislature for the
organization of a regiment of negroes.
Commander Raynor has no prejudice
against the negro as a soldier, but he IL
moved TO his present action by the fear, ex-
pressed by Adjutant General Verbeck, that
if a negro regiment is ordered by law to be
established, some other present units of
the National Guard Will have 10 be dis
banded TO make room and TO provide quar-
ters equipment and appropriations for II.
u is said here that Commander Raynor's

CABINET POST FOR GOMEZ
Report of Changes to Placate
Warning Mexican Factions.

Mexico City. March 6.-Cabinet changes
intended to tlacate the warning elements
are to be made in the near future. If a re-
port heard to-day from an apparently well
authenticated source proves true. The sub
stitutions will affect six of the eight port
folos, and are calculated to amalgamate
the Vasquists, Liberals. the army element
and the Maderists.
Perhaps the most startling feature Of the
alleged plan is the proposed returning Of
Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez. the "brains
OF the revolution to the post of Public
instruction. which he formerly held.
Francisco de la Barra is slated for the
Ministry of Foreign Relations which he oc-
cupied in the last Diaz administration:
General Geronimo Trevino. for the War
Office: Fernandino Iglesias Calderon. cam
didate for Vice-Presdent on the Liberal
party ticket against Pine Suarez. for the
Department of the Interior. and Alfredo
Robles Dominguez. Madero's Treasurer in
the revolution for the Department Of Com
munications.
Jesus Flores Magon. recently appointed 10
the Ministry of the Interior, will be trans
ferred to the Department Of Justice. The
other ministers. Ernesto Madero. Finance,
and Hernandez, Fomento, are TO continue
in their departments.
Manuel Bonilla, at present Minister OF
Communications. II is raid, will receive the
governorship of Sinaloa. from which state
he came at the close of the revolution.
The announced intention of Sehor de la
Barra TO return to Mexico long before he
was expected to do so when he went to
Rome is pointed TO as tending to corrobo-
rate the report At the same time, many
speculate on a possible higher post for him.
General Trevino's long service in the
army and the high esteem in which he Is
held is to be counted upon to build up the
military, while Calderon, the head Of the
Liberal party. has a large following of bolt
ing Maderists who became dissatisfied with
Madero early in the election campaign.
Robles Dominguez endured imprisonment
at the hands of General Diaz from Novem-
Der to May for his affiliation with the Ma
dero revolution. Since that time he has
repeatedly predicted the early downfall OF
the Madero administration.
The receipt OF Madero's resignation and
that Of Pine Suarez would not surprise
members of Congress when that body meets
on April or soon thereafter. according TO
reports

SHEARN BlAMES GAYN0R
Tells Senate Committee Mayor
Keeps Death Avenue"
by Telegraph to The Tribune


Albany. March 6-Clarence J. Shearn told
the Senate Railroad Committee this after
noon that the unseen power that enabled
the New York Central Railroad 10 keep
from being forced 10 remove its tracks
from street surfaces in New York City was
recognized by all as the shade OF Epicte-
tus.' Eplctetus is the favOrite philosopher
OF Mayor GaynOr. and little later in his
speech Mr.. Shearn strongly indicated that
the Mayor and the shade were identical.
Mr.. Shearn was before the committee 10
urge favorable action on the McManus-
Murray bill requiring the Central TO re-
move its tracks from New York City street
surfaces. particularly on Eleventh avenue.
This bill was passed by the Legislature last
year, but was vetoed by Mayor Gaynor.
1T was drawn on lines suggested by the
Court of Appeals" said Mr.. Shearn "It
was submitted for examination as to its
consttutionalty TO one of the ablest law
yers at the New York bar, a friend OF
Mayor Gaynor. Samuel Untermyer and he
pronounced II constitutional Yet the Mayor
pronounced II unconstitutional and re-
turned 1t to the Legislature with one cf
those letters which he ought to have apollo
gized for. as he has been forced to do with
some OF his other dlatribes."
Mr.. Shearn characterized the McClelland-
Walker BILL which was then passed and
ostensibly had the same purpose, as
fraud. He said that under It nothing had
been accomplished, and that It had given
the whip hand to the railroad, instead cf
to the city. While attributinG the killing
OF the McManus bill to Mayor Gaynor last
year, Mr.. Shearn intimated that its defeat
in previous years was due in part to the
fact that the New York Central paid $4,000
year to TanGnany Hall.
Senator McManus, ex-Assemblyman Boy
land and Assembyman Schifferdecker also
spoke for the bill. II. Leroy Austin, rep
resenting the Central, opposed it, saying
that it would impose an unjust hardship
on the railroad and bring about great In
convenience to New York shippers.
