Condition Of Building

"The county inffrmary is In excel.
lent condition, and the; man at the
head of it is the right man for the
place." declared Postmaster Beck to-
day after completing a survey of the
poor farm, with Joseph, Commons of
Centerville, as members of the county
board of charities and corrections.
Both investigators expressed sur.
prise at the cleanliness and orderli.
ness shown at the infirmary
with the facilities, nothing more
can be done than Superintendent Pc
tro is doing" Mr.. Beck said. MANY
of the inmates of the institutions are
feeble-minded and others are stubborn
and do not like to assist in keeping up
the good standing Of the farm.
"The administration is excellent. The
results produced last year surprised
us, and they showed that Mr. Petro is
farmer who understands his busi-
ness. He and Mrs. Petro should be
commended for their treatment of the
inmates. 1t is kind word here and a
kind act there and as result there is
a good spirit existing in the farm
home.'
The buildings were examined close
ly and a number of recommendations
to the county commissioners will re-
suit. The farming methods were
looked into and we're found satisfac-
tory. One of the buildings on the
farm has been condemned for five or
six years by county boards and by the
state board of charities and correc-
tions.

TAX BOARD BILL
IN SENATE TODAY
Passes Assembly After
Whitman Has Accepted
Many Amendments.
[Ernm , st.r corespondent q The Trlbuno

GFrom stan Correspondent OF The Tr0une.l
Albany, March 24.-After practically
all opposition in the Republican ranks
had been swept aside, either through
amendments or promises, Governor
Whtman's bill to reorganize the State
Tax Commission passed the Assembly
to-day by a vote of 81 to 48.
Only five Republicans voted against
it, and of these only one, Brennan, was
a Kings County man. The rest of the
Kings County delegation of twelve,
who opposed the bill because it trans
ferred the corporation tax bureau from
the offices of their fellow Brooklynite,
State Controller Travis, to the new
tax commission, were lined up after
the Governor promised he would not
take any more powers away from the
Controller.
The bill will pass in the Senate to-
morrow.
Disgruntled upstate Republicans who
objected to giving the new commission
absolute control over local boards OF
assessments, we're brought into line by
an amendment that the commission
could order a reassessment of local tax
rolls only on a court order, after in
eoualities had been shown TO exist.
The bill will legislate out OF office
the present tax commission. headed by
Thomas f. Byrnes, of Brooklyn, against
whom Governor Whitman launched bit
ter invectives in the last campaign.

SEE VICTORY HOPE
IN THORN REPORT
Christian Scientists Pleased That
Bill Won Favor in the
Assembly Committee.

Christian Scientists see hope Of ulti-
mate victory in the favorable report or
the Assembly judiciary Committee on
the Thorn bill In its amended form
the Thorn bill exempts Christian Sci
ence treatment from the provisions OF
the medical practice act provided quar-
antine and sanitary regulations are
complied with. A statement given out
last night by the publicity bureau OF
the Christian Science Church is as fol-
lows:
"The much discussed Christian Sci
ence bill, known as Thorn bill No. 927,
was last night again reported favora-
bly, by the Judiciary Committee of the
Assembly, after having been recommlt-
ted on March for hearing following
n bitter attack by Majority Leader Hin
man. Amendments accompanied the
bill
at is said that the Thorn bill has
stirred up more interest and has
caused the legislators to do more real
thinking than any bill that has been
introduced into the Legislature since
the anti-racetrack bill and the SulZer
impeachment. Tremendous influences
have been at work 70 stop the progress
of the bill, say its friends, but the
activity of the Scientists seems 70 have
been quite enough to cope with the
situation.
"The Christian Scientists say the
principle of religious liberty is at stake
and that il is therefore TO the inter
ests of all alert citizens TO support the
Thorn bill. They claim that the right
TO employ the healing system OF ones
choice is just as fundamental and sa-
cred as is the right 10 attend the

work OF arousng the people is being
successfully carried out is evident by

SULLIVAN AGAIN
DEMANDS PROBE
Says Charges of Compen-
Sation Bill Corruption Are
Not Withdrawn.

Albany, March 24.-John Leo Sulli-
van, of Chautauqua County, who
charged that sinister and corrupt in
fuences forced the passage of the
workmen's compensation law amend
ment providing for direct settlement.
is determined that there shall be a
legislative investigation of his charges
To this end, and in view of the charges
made by Hamilton Fish, jr., of Putnam
County. by the Assembly Judiciary
Committee. he will introduce 4 resolu
tion asking a hearing on Monday night.
81 did not withdraw any charge

no intention of withdrawing any. and
if it was taken by legislative leaders
that my explanation that | did not

The Sullivan resolution, which he
drafted this afternoon, read in part:
Whereas, 1t has been charged di-
rectly or by insinuation in the Assem-
bly, and public press that selfish, Sc
cret and improper influences have been
exerted for the passage of the work
mems compensation law at the present
session of the Legislature, and that the
action of the party in control of the
present administration of affairs of
this state in passing such an amend

by such influences or other and sinister
influences, now, therefore, be il

mittee Of the Assembly be and hereby
is directed to investigate and inquire
into such charges or insinuations. and

mems compensation law was passed,
and all matters pertaining thereto"
The passage Of this resolution, it is
prophesied, will be fought bitterly by
the leaders here. Charges are flying
back and forth, and prominent names
are mentioned in the same breath with
graft and corruption.
Hamilton Fish, jr, threatens also to
introduce a resolution calling for an
investigation Monday night. He inti-
mated to-day that he would mention
names in the Assembly if he found it
necessary to force an investigation.

WOMEN OF JAPAN
AID In ELECTION
FOR FIRST TIME
Make House to House
Canvass for Candidates
in Toxic.
FATE OF OKUMA'S
CABINET IN BALANCE
Premier Makes WhlrlWind Cam.
paign In Special Train-Oth-
ers Use Phonograph.

Toxic, March 24.-Closing an excit-
ing campaign, in which the wives of
several candidates at Toxic made per-
sonal visits and appeals to the voters,
a general election was held to-day
throughout the Japanese Empire to
choose new House of Representatives.
The last house was dissolved by the
Emperor on Christmas Day, 1914, be-
cause of it's refusal to ratify the mill
tary programme of the Cabinet. To-
days election, therefore, not only
brings in a new house, but decides the
fate Of the Cabinet headed by Count
Okuma.
In the last Liet the ministry was op-
posed by a majority. and should this
majority. represented by the Conserva-
tive party, be returned the CABINET
might have to retire. According to
latest forecasts, however, the indepen-
dents are likely to be increased from
twelve to forty, and thus hold the bal
ance in the House.
Premier Okuma made whirlwind
campaign, speaking from special
train, while leaders like Yukio Ozaki,
the Minister of Justice, distributed
their views by phonograph.
The government insisted on an in
crease in the army of two divisions.
The Conservatives contended that the
success of the government in pushing
this measure through would be blow
to Constitutionalism.
The appearance Of women N the
campaign for the first time in Japan
csc history, caused wonj,r. The
wives of several of the candidates
made a house-to-house canvass in be-
half of their husbands, thereby pro-
voking considerable comment in the
newspapers concerning the develop
ment of the "new woman"
The police were ordered to make
quick arrests in cases of bribe giving
or bribe taking, and fifteen hundred
persons were arrested.
The number of representatives
elected to-day was 3Sl, but in view of
the difficulty Of determining the bal
loting the result will not be known
for several days. In all, there were
about 700 candidates.

From The Tribune Burrsu.l

From The Tribune Buruau
Washington, March 24.-The attitude
of calm which the State Department
assumes with reference TO the general
situation in Mexico City is said to rest
on the belief that mo news is good
news" But while Washington officials
seemingly rest secure in the thought
that all is going well in the war-ridden
capital, Americans with business inter-
ests there are gravely perturbe1.
Unofficial reports received here from
Mexico City indicate that the foreign
element there is apprehensive that
the Zapatista army js far from q safe
reliance. Americans in Mexico City
have sent word to their firms and cor
porations in the United States that as
a corrective of the disorders of fort
night ago the so-called army Of the
South is destined to be a failure. The
absence of adequate railway connec-
tions with the north or with Vera Cruz
is also worrying the foreign residents.
Several days ago Secretary Bryan
thought that arrangements had been
perfected through agreements between
American representatives, at Vera Cruz
and General CarranZa and between the
Brazilian Minister at Mexico City and
Minister Palafox whereby Americans
desirous of reaching Vera Cruz might
make use of the railway from Mexico
City. In the face of this understand
ing within the last three days train
carrying only civilians and in no sense
a military expedition had been fired on
and several persons wounded.
Americans in Mexico also report that
the food situation. although measur-
ably relieved, is not corrected and that
supplies are not arriving at a reas-
suring rate.
Independent manufacturers of bind
ing twine, represented by Edward b..
Bayley, of Boston, and Augustus p.
Loring. to-day told Secretary Bryan Of
their need for an adequate supply Of
ssal. They said the 100000 bales
which the international Harvester Com
pany had promised to distribute among
manufe cturers would only partly sup
ply the demand. There was about a
weeks supply in the Northern mills,
they said, and it would require about
/ 100000 bales a month until August to
prevent a scarcity OF binding tWlne Tor
/ the coming harvest.
The State Department is endeavor-
ing to obtain the release of the slsal
crop for immediate transportation to
the United States. Although Secretary
Bryan has said he would send a war
ship, no definite arrangements have
been made to do so.
Los Angeles, Cal, March 24.-Dyna-
mite bombs placed by Carranza agents
were exploded last night under a
trainload of Villas advance guard near
Forton, on the railroad between Mont
Grey and Tampict, and forty men were
! killed. according TO message received
to-day from Vera Cruz by Antonio

ing all claims to the provisional Presi-
dency of Mexico, General Villa, through
his border representatives, to-day rec
ognized Rogue Gonzales CARA as
President of the National Convention
party and temporarily, at least, pro-
visional President. Villas action is
regarded as an indication that he has
finally got into communication with
Zapata in the south and that an under
standing has been reached between
them.
Two thousand Yaqui Indians. led by
Chief Urbalejo, have seized the city
of Hermosillo, capital of Sonora, have

eral Maytorena. and are defving Villa
authority. Chief Urbalejo has de-
clared himself Governor, has removed
from Office and imprisoned all the Villa
