ALBANr, Aug Seth Lows commit
tee on cities by a vote of II to 9 finally
agreed tonight to the home rule article
FOR cities which is to be reported to the
constitutional convention. While this ar
ticle gives cities the machinery to frame
their own charters and to pass local laws
Affecting the city departments. officials
and salaries of city employees, the Legis-
lature otherwise can pass genera laws
or special city bills affecting the govern
ment OF the city only. The latter are
subject to the approval Of the city au-
thorities as at present and can be passed
over a Mayors veto by the Legislature.
The provision which has been in all OF
the drafts OF the home rule articles per-
uniting the passage OF special city laws
by. a two-thirds vote in each branch of
the Legislature has therefore been elm
mated. This is AS broad "A home rule
article as a majority of the members Of
the cities committee could be induced to
approve, and this approval was obtained
only at the last moment by the diplo-
matte influence OF President Root of the
convention. who attended the meeting Of
the cities committee.
The members OF the committee who
are opposed TO the broad home rule arti-
Gle for cities favored this compromise
because they do not believe any vital
power Of the Legislature over the cities
is taken away
Those who voted for the compromise
were Chairman Low. John Lord O'Brlan.
Berri. Fobcs, T. n. Smith. Latson, Green,
Virgins. Sanders. &. Nicoll. Thomas F..
Smith. Baldwin. Weed and Shipinan.
Franchot of Niagara Falls and Senator
James A. Foley voted against the com
promise.
Article That Was Agreed On.
The article as agreed upon BY tho
committee tonight provides that
Every city shall have exclusive power
TO manage. regulate and control its owr
property. business and local affairs. sub
ject TO the Constitution and to the gen.
eral laws Of the State applying to al
the Inhabitants or applying to all thu

Says Forgiveness for Desert
ers Is just a Scheme to
Get Support Within.
PROG RESSIVES PLEASED

Ormsby McIIarg. the lawyer who
rounded up Southern delegates for Col.
Roosevelt In 1912. made the fight for
those delegates before the committee on
credentials and then refused to leave his
party and Join the Progressives. de-
clared yesterday that Col. Roosevelt's
statement forgiving his friends for re-
turning to the Republican ranks was moth
ing more than an equivocai assertion Of
his intention to be a candidate in the
Republican Presidential primaries and
TO have just as many OF his friends
there TO fight for him as he could get.
In the opinion OF Mr.. McIIarg the
Colonel made his statement we'll know
ing that there is under way a move
ment for an informal national conference
to which representatives Of both the Re-
publicans and Progressives have been
invited in the hope that their differences
may be smoothed away before the cam
paign of 1916. This movement. of which
Mr.. MclIarg is the general director. is
based on the proposition that tho most
important thing In the world for both
Republicans and proeressivcs Is TO de-
feat Woodrow Wilson and that the only
way to do II Is for them TO get together
again.

RAILROADS NOW
IS BURDENS0ME

Boston. Jan 9.-"The people
are regulating too much; the pendu-
lum has swung too far the other
way" said former President Taft In
speaking Of railroad matters at the
alumni dinner of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology tonight
Mr.. Tafts view was in agreement
with that voiced in a previous speech
by Howard Elliott, president of the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
railroad, who expressed the opinion
that the regulatory power of the gov
eminent vas going too far.
"At first said Mr.. Taft, the rail-
roads thought they We're the whole
thing. They violated the law, did
things they should not do defied the
people as they did the Interstate Com
merce commission during the early
part of its life But they found, as
everybody else will find, that nobody
can defy the people on questions of
justice.
Il agree with President Elliott that
the pendulum has now swung too far
that the people are regulating too
much and consequently the people are
hurting themselves. We must retrace

No withdrawn if American merchants
perssted in their alleged practice OF
exporting to Germany both wool and
woolen products manufactured in the
United States.
The British government IT is stated,
has received information which has
led if to the belief that simultaneous
IL with its announcement that Aus
tralian wool might be exported to the
limited states, New England mer-
chants and manufacturers began ex-
porting to Germany, which Great
Britain looks upon as an act of bad
faith towards itself
Must Observe Good Faith.
state department officials said to-
dov the United States could not be
expected to interpose further objec-
mon to the Australian embargo If
American merchants continued to
seek to supply German markets with
wooden goods
# was pointed out that it is en-
tfrely within the right of Great Bri-
tain or any other government to con-
troll its export trade through embar-
goes such as have been laid upon
wool and rubber. In the case of the
latter commodity. the same complaint
had been made by the British of
large exports of rubber, both crude
and manufactured, from America,
either directly or indirectly to Ger
many and Austria, at a time when the
American manufacturers were plead
ing that there was n great shortage
of rubber to meet the Internal de-
mands of the United States.
Illicit Traffic in Rubber.
The British government in regula-
tons announced yesterday, is trying a
new plan to prevent what ii regards
as Illicit traffic in rubber and will
closely observe its workings.
The embargo upon Australian wool
expectation never was actually lifted
The colonial authorities simply an
nounced that they were prepared to
allow individuals to ship wool to the
United States under special license in
the case of each shipment. Conse-
quently it is entirely within the power
of the British officials to punish any
American manufacturers who violate
the terms of the agreement not to re-
ship wool or wooden products to Ger
many by Withdrawing entirely the IL
cense privilege and establishing the
complete embargo.
