First Effort to Limit Presenta-
ton of Constitutional Amend
ments Fails.

s. Root, found such serious opposition to
:. his plan to make June l the last day
la on which amendments may be sub
n mitted By the delegates that the sub
Il feet was put over until tomorrow
q morning. The opposition was led by
~ Lemuel +. Quigg and ex-senator Ed
- gar 7. Bracket. The proposed rule
=. was in the report Of John Lord
- O'Brian, chairman Of the committee on
= rules.
Mr.. Quigg said he wanted 10 know
=, what was in The report before he voted
-. on il, and Senator Bracket declared
% he considered 10 too early to fix date
-. FOR Che limitation Of amendments. Mr..
~ Quigg moved that the rules report be
- laid on tho desks of members to-mor-
row morning at 10 o'clock; that the
=. convention meet at II o'clock, and that
= the adoption Of the report be made a
%, special order. The motion was carried.
:. Mr.. Roots purpose Is 10 prevent the
- convention from running into next fall.
Il Under his rule only committees could
q. introduce amendments after June l..
If some such plan Is not agreed on,
b. his friends believe the convention will
e. either be unduly prolonged or rush
.. Of measures VIII have TO be acted on
p IN the closing days. Ia q time too short
10 give them proper consideration.
-. Forty-twO Jobs Given Out.

10 Jobs created by the convention took up

90 charge OF the plum tree, OF which Jesse
- S. Phillips. of HOrnell, the new Insur-
! Hnce Commissioner, is chairman, met
~ this afternoon, and A. L. Smith, one Of
, the Tammany delegates, was offered
B two places. After some pointed remarks
~ about the non-partisan character Of the
% convention, Mr.. Smith IS reported to
:, have told Mr.. Phillips he could keep
% the two jobs.
