Little explanation could he offered by
firm members or relatives to account for
Mr. Bruno's suicide. Fourteen days ago
he had undergone an operation for gall
stones. and from this he had not recoV-
cred. For some time previous to this op-
Grafton he had been in poor health, and

BRONX BILL TAKEN UP
Governor Dix Hears Arguments
for and Against Measure.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

lBy Telegraph TO The Tribune
Albany. April 17.-Joseph o. Hammitt.
secretary of the Citizens Union, told Gov
ernor Dix to-day at the hearing on the bill
of Senator Stlwell submitting to the voters
of The Bronx the question whether the
borough shall be erected into county
that the measure contains the most out
rageous list of patronage provisions ever
included in any county bill submitted TO the
Legislature lie declared that these pro-
visions had been inserted without consult
ing the committee which had been Or
sanized to advocate Bronx County Mr..
Hammitt said:
The mandator provisions of the bill for
subordinate positions and salaries IN the
Shcriff 5 office OF the new county cost con-
siderable more than the present cost OF
similar positions in Kings County, which
has nearly four times the population. The
positions and salaries in the County Clerk S
Office of the proposed county constitute a
payroll nearly equal to that for similar
positions In Kings County, and are more
than 80 per cent as large as the payroll
for similar positions In the Office of the
New York County Clerk, toward which
The Bronx now pays about 10 per cent. The
mandatory payroll for the Registers office
OF The Bronx Is nearly as great as for
similar positions I'm Kings, and exactly Is
per cent OF the cost of similar positions
in New York
As ali illustration OF the character of the
mandatory provisions Of the bill. Mr. Ham
mitt said the Sheriff IS to have an under.
sheriff at 5000 a year. ten deputy sherffs
at $500 a year each and five assistant
deputy sheriTs at $3.50 each.
Mr. Hammitt declared the bill was defect
I've and would cause great confusion should
II become law. Others who spoke against
the bin were william w Niles. H. A. Knox
and j. II. Jones
A delegation OF about one hundred and
nifty Bronx residents came 10 Albany to
favor the measure Among their speakers
were Senators stilwell and Grffen. ex-
Senator Joseph p. Hennessey. Lewis o.
yandoren and J. Fairfax Mclaughlin.
