SENATE BUR|ES
BATCH OF BILLS
Full Crew Railroad Measure Is
Killed Together With Several
Others.

Senator Bronson failed to block the
majority report Of the senate railroad
committee on the restricted train bill
and other measures fathered by the
brotherhood of railway trainmen.
The majority report was adopted
on the bill restricting the length of a
freight train. This postpones the bill
indefinitely.

Mariner on the bill permitting the
sale of pure tobacco products to all
persons except minors was adopted,
shelving this measure which would
have permitted the sale of cigarettes.
Senator Wartner declared that snuff
could be sold under this act, too.
Some merriment was caused when
the bill came from the committee on
public printing, ITO which it had been
referred. A majority report favored
its passage on the grounds that this
bill would prevent the ''pigging' of
cigarettes.

A OF REGENTS.

Agitation begun by the Tribune
several months ago for a board of re-
gents is o bearing fruit. The house
yesterday took a long step in the
right direction by passing the bill
placing tie educational institutions
under a central administrative board,
abolishing the present makeshift ar
rangement.
Great care should be taken in Sc
lecting the board of regents. They
should be men of breadth and cul-
ture. They should be trained bust
ness men and strong enough to insist
that present extravagances and du-
plications be eliminated.
The regents must be ME who can
dominate the situation if necessary
and not be dominated by the educat-
Jors: 1t is essential that the regents
in all important administrative meas
ures be masters; not servants.
Sufficient funds should be a%ppropri-
ated for an educational survey, so
that the board of regents can evolve
a plan whereby the curricula of the
various institutions will be harmon
lied.
The vote in the house on this bill
shows conclusively that the Lathrop
committee has the legislature behind
it in all efforts to increase the eff
cheney Of our state government and
the usefulness of the educational in
situations.
The educators are now showing a
better spirit toward the movement to
coordinate the various educational
units. At first there was little but
resentment and hostility. This was
first evident in the suit started
against the state board of equaliza-
ton to force the tax levy above the
constitutional limits.
Now that the institution heads have
see the absolute necessity Of a cut
in all appropriations, they seem re-
signed to shoulder their share of the
cut and trim their expenditures to
meet the income.
The recent investigation will re-
suit ultimately in great benefit to the
various educational institutions. No
paper wants to see them grow and
prosper mOre than the Tribune.

NECESSARY LEGISLATION,

Under our present law. the terms
of the board of control all expire at
the same time. This is not for the
best interests Of the state.
There should at all times lie at
least one, better two hold-overs, so
that the state may be we'll served.
Practically all states time the terms
of officers on boards so that only one
retires at a time.
This is equally true of the railroad
commission. The new members
should have the benefit of the eXpe-
rience of at least one hold-Over.
In the interests of efficiency, the
bill introduced yesterday changing
the terms OF the members OF the
board of control should be passed,
No private business would retire
all its administrative officials at once.
Why should the state?

Tiflis, May 5.-(Via Petrograd)-
The pursuit of the defeated Turkish
army under the command of Khali
Bey in the Khori-Dilman region of the
Caucasus continues, according to
trustworthy advices reaching Tiflis.
This battle, which resulted in heavy
losses for the Turks. began April 20
at Hantahta, near Urumiah. In the
beginning the Russians stood off the
Turks, but the latter received rein
forcements and on April 80 the Rus
slams abandoned Dilman and en-
trenched themselves at Magonzhio,
the first village on the way to khori
From this position they pounded
the Turks with their heavy artillery
until the arrival of Russian reinforce
ments. Three hundred refugees from
Dilman have arrived at Julia, just
over the border in Russia, and 1900
more are on their way The Russian
consul here is taking measures to pre-
vent refugees from Urumiah and Dill

we can begin-not the dispensing of q
little charity here and there, but real

Are bread-winners out of employ

ways to eliminate them"
The speaker went on to suggest that
work may be done towards bettering

pure milk and other laws are passed,
establishing meeting places for men
to counteract the influence of saloons,
gambling dens, ETC., doing charity

In closing he said:

FrOth of Political Storms on
Tides of Libel Suit.
PLATT LETTERS WITHDRAWN.
Promised Sensation of New
Evidence Blows Up.
Roosevelt on Stand Late Today:
Defense Rests Tomorrow.

Syracuse, May 5.-FrOth and foam
of past and brewing political storms
were thrown upon the tides of the
Barnes-Roosevelt libel trial today.
The morning session being devoted to
the printing matters, Rooseve1t's re-
appearance to give testimony excluded
last week was postponed until late this
afternoon.
How the Albany Journal company,
Barnes newspaper, was paid large
commisionss on state, city and county
printing contracts by the J. B. Lyon
company, who performed the work,
was told by Manager Charles Win
chester of the latter.
He insisted there was no wrong in
paying such commissions, stating it
was a usual business custom.
Winchester said he never knew of
Barnes using his political influence to
get public printing work for the Lyon
company when Barnes was a stock
holder in it.
That the Lyon company owned
stock of Barnes's newspaper corpora
ton was also developed.
1t was a tame session.
With Roosevelt on the stand most
of the afternoon, it was impossible,
the defense admitted, to rest it's case
before tomorrow.
Just before the noon recess the
promised sensation of the new CORE
spondence found in Boss Platt's files
between him and Roosevelt blew up.
Barness attorneys produced 1913 let
ters, most of them written while
Roosevelt was president but decided
not to offer them as evidence
