now weeks behind. Here IS the answer;
The Tammany leader has given specific
instructions to every legislator he con-
trolls, He may use all the instruments

determined to get his programme OF con-
structlve legislation through, even II II

GOVERNOR SULZER
PREFERS CHARGES
Colonel Scott, Superintendent
of New York Prisons, Is
Scored by Executive.

ALBANY, n, Y, March 12.-Charges OF
non-feasance and neglect of duty were
preferred today against Colonel Joseph
f. Scott, superintendent of state prisons,
by Governor Sulzer. The governor in
presenting the charges wrote Colonel
Scott that he would be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard tomorrow.
The charges are based largely upon
the report submitted by the governors
committee of inquiry and in substa nee
arc as follows:
That Colonel Scott Intentionally and
wifuIy neglected and rcfrained' from
dlsmlssing a sales agent OF the prisons
department until his dismissal was de-
manded by the governor: that Scott
appointed DR.. James v. May as super
intendent OF the Mattcawan asylum in
stead OF DR.. Amos T. Baker. assistant
superintendent OF the institution. who
stood first upon the civil service list; that
Scott failed to investigate reports that
Dr. May altered the hospital case book
containing a record Of an examination
OF Harry X Thaw made by DR. May and
DR.. John w. Russell, "and that even
Thaw himself was allowed TO alter such
record, and that Dr. Russell then super
intendent of the institution. was not sus-
pended nor dismissed"
That because Of neglect to maintain
proper supervision over Matteawan State
hospital Thaw was permitted TO receive
and have large sums Of money in his
possession: that DR.. Russell permitted
various persons to see Thaw practically
without restriction, and to transact busi-
ness with him without official surveil-
lance over him: that Thaw was per-
mitted to 'give large sums OF money to
some OF these persons and money to all
OF them" and that DIR, Russell knew
that John Nicholson Anhut had received
S25, 900 In cash and marketable securities
for the purpose Of releasing Thaw from
the hospital.
That Colonel Scott neglected to sus-
pend DIR. Russell after he learned OF the
alleged attempt on the part of Anhut to
bribe DIR, Russell and after Anhut had
testified before the committee OF inquiry
that DR.. Russell had told him "hc would
not do anything for ThaW without being
paid for It," and that 100000 would not
begin to compensate HIM." and that by
accepting DR.. Russel's resignation as su-
perintendent over the telephone, Colonel
Scott Intentionally attempted to defeat
any demand Of the governor for the dis
honorable dismissal of said supcrintend-
ent OF said hospital"

PAVING BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Relieves Cities of Cost and
Assesses Owners of Prop
erty Benefited.
MAJORITY WILL DECIDE
If Fifty-one Per Cent Object
Improvements Will Not
Be Made.
WILL DECIDE

The now famous senate bill 90 was
passed by the house yesterday after
an hour s discussion. The bill provides
that cities shall be relieved of the cost
of paving intersections.
The bill has been the cause Of more
lobbying than all the other measures
introduced this year together. Daily
for more than n month men and women
have crowded the halls and the house
gallery, and every member has been
subjected to arguments long and
ardent either for or against the bill.
The bill provides that the property
owners Of any part of the city may
petition for the establishment of a
paving district. In case 81 per cent
of the owners protest against the
project the district shall not be
created

Dispute Is Prompt.

When the bill was placed before the
house on special order at 1880 o'clock
yesterday morning the fight about the
dormitory was quickly precipitated.
Morris of Washington moved to strike
out the appropriation Of S2j,0 900 for the
dormitory placed in the measure by the
senate. In support OF his motion Nor
ris said that the country members had
given up all their demands for appro-
priations for roads and bridges that the
state institutions might be maintained.
He said the appropriations committee
had been given to understand by the
board Of regents of the University
and by the leading instructors at the
school that the committee S stand was
iust.
Barnes of Salt Lake opposed the
motion. He said that the dormtory
was for the benefit Of the country
people for the reason that the Salt
Lake girls who attended the University
lived ut home, and therefore the dormi
tory would be used by the girl students
from outside the city,
