Through Assistant Corporation Counsel
J. j. Beaudrias, of Yonkers, New York
City obtained yesterday from Justice

the ground that il is excessive and Illegal.
I'm some towns the new aqueduct is as
sessed at more than 10000 a mile. Mr..
Beaudrias raised tho point that the as
SCISSORS had acted enormously, because
I'm 1905 Justice Keogh decided that the

taxation. He asked, therefore, that the
assessments against the new tunnel be
vacated
judge Keogh took the matter under ad-
visement and will appoint referees to hear
testimony I'm the different townships
In Yonkcrs alone the city assessment
has been increased from 100000 to 3d.

LAUGH, the landlady, was out. so the
man cut the gas off. When Mrs. Won
Knablauch returned she went to the
gas office and paid her bill and asked
that the gas be turned on. When an
'employe did so he noticed the meter
registering. although there were no
lights in the house. A search or the
house resulted in the discovery or gas
escaping IN Beghetti's room. The gas
man could get no answer to knocks, so
Patrolmen Mckay and Benkler were

dressed: "Signora Beghetti Angela,

BOSS RULE RESENTED
IN REPUBLICAN caucus"
Assemblymen- Elect Warned
Mistake in Electing Speaker
Will Cost 100000 Votes.

Resentment OF boss rule and strong
sentiment for constructive Legislation
were voiced last night at the Informal
caucus" OF ffty Republican Assembly
men-elect who gathered at the Republican
Club after a conference in the afternoon.
The trend OF the majority party in the
next LEGISLATURE was voiced by Wilmont
T. Knapp. OF Chemung. in a warning that
the feeling OF the country voters was
pointing toward crisis in the Republican
organization.
You have all got to get right down on
your hambones and do business next
year" he said. "or when you go home 20
your people AZ the end you won't md any
Republican party left TO belong to-
"All through the Southern Tier. from
Buffalo TO the Hudson River, the moss
backs are discussing the situation at
every grocery store and at every plough
share The men who sit around the sugar
barrel know more about what is going on
in politics than maybe you think they do.
I'm a-going TO tell you this: That
you've got to be mighty careful In your
election OF "A Speaker Of the Assembly, for
they're going TO Judge YOU as TO whether
you re 1OT lU'ln VI s'' - ~
lowing the same tactics which have cro-
ated the independent sentiment all
through the state"
1T is perfectly true" agreed Samuel A.
Jones, Of Chenango County. who was sec
retary OF the Caucus" that the country
people are asking, What are you goinG
TO do about the bosses? And | know
that IL YOU make a mistake in the cleo
ton Of your Speaker it will cost the Re-
publican party 100000 votes In 1914"
The outburst OF Mr. Knapp followed
long debate on resolution offered by
Assemblyman-elect Knight. OF Wyoming
County. This resolution, after declaring
for Constructive progression In the Re
publican Assembly, was so framed as to
put those who were present on record as
declaring for the election OF Speaker
who would conform to these progressive
requirements.
1t was in a phrase opposing the 'oostruc-
tive tactics and attempts TO block re-
form that those who opposed the ieso-
luton found opportunity TO attack IT. and
those who spoke against the measure said
they thought il might reflect on some
individual or individuals In the Republi-
can organization" The resolution was
finally laid upon the table.
