lature. that would be benefit to the
people, but it contends that any ana
all of these matters could have been
acted upon at the regular session.
and that the legislature. having mad
an opportunity to act upon these ques-
tions and failed to do so, II is un-
fair to the great body Of taxpayers
to put them to the expense of spec
lal session. We take no stock in the
declaration made by some of the leg
islators, that the session would end
in thirty days. The people have had
experience in this direction. and viii
not be easily deceived 1t will be
remembered that when a special ses-
sion Of the fourth legislature seemed
inevitable, a committee OF the leaders
from the two houses conferred with
the governor and assured him that
the session, if called. would not last
longer than twenty days, and that it
could be held at a nominal cost to
the taxpayers. The session actually
lasted more than seventy days, and
cost the people more than a hundred
thousand dollars.
To sum up; There is no unusual
condition that demands a special ses-
sion of the legislature. The provision
of the constitution giving to the gov
ernor authority to call special ses-
sion was intended to be strictly con
strued and it assumes that the COVER
nor will not exercise that authority,
except upon extraordinary occasions.
We are firmly convinced that no such
occasion exists, and that to call a
special session under existing condi-
tions would be violation of the
spirit. il not the letter, of the con
stitution-a constitution the governor
has taken very binding oath to
support, obey and defend"

WHY CALL A SPECIAL SESSION.

An examination of the subjects that
the governor, In his letter to mem
hers of the legislature, proposes to
submit to that body, disCloses no mat
ter calling for immediate action On
the contrary, practically all of these
matters have been placed before leg
islative assemblies of the state In the
past, number Of them having been
brought to the attention of the pres
ent legislature at It's regular session.
The question of usury has had the
attention of the lawmakers of the
state nt every session of the legls-
lature for the past four years. Bills
of varying degrees of merit have been
introduced and debated. Acts de-
signed to place the brand of the
criminal upon the usurer have been
seriously considered. The net result
to the people has been a waste of
time and money, leaving the needy
sible with the man or institution with
money to lend.
The matter of establishing twine
factory was specifically called to the
attention of the fourth Legislature,
and was again impressed upon the
present legislature. That the COVER
nor favors installing an oil mill at
the Granite reformatory was well
known TO every member of the legis
laturc long before that body adjourn
ed. with this knowledge, they de-
libcrately turned away from the sug
gestion. Isn't it little strange that

BUCKINGHAM AND LAVERY TO TALK POLITICS TO
 UNITED BROTHERHOODS

The Federated Brotherhood of this city has developed what it has called the Civic Department through which the various men of the Broth erhoods are to be instructed in re- gard to how to carry the most weight in parties to which they may be at tached It has long been urged that if Christian men would only use the instruments which they now pos sess the situation would very ma terially change in regard to the rec ognition of the influence of these men. It is with this thought in mind that this department has been organized.
 The leaders in political life of the city, or men who have seen the in ner workings, will tell something of the secrets of political success. The first presentation Of this phase of the work will be for the Brotherhood of the First Presbyterian church on Friday evening of this week. Albert E. Lavery will represent the Republi- can party and Compensation Com mission Buckingham, the Demo cratic party and will speak from the individual standpoint as to what they consider the most potent ways in which Christian men can express their influence politically. This meet ing will be presided over by Harrison G. Streeter. principal of Map1eWood school.

WASHINGTON NOT ATHLETE HE HAS
 BEEN PICTURED
Brooklyn Clergyman, Speaking Here, Says Idealization of Patriot Has Removed Him From Common Touch.

Who would be wfl1ingsto take up the task thrust upon Washington dur ing the Revolution? He paid the price for his patriotism. He was sight was defective His hearing was poor. There are numerous items of dentists bills in his accounts. He nearly died here in your own state of Connecticut
 Thus Dr. Robert M Moore of Brooklyn N. Y-, in an address on George Washington and Patri otis1a,'' before the Get-Together club of the " Washington Park M. B. church, last night. attempted to dim the halo which almost every American places above the head of the father of his country.
 we must think of Washington as he was,'' said the speaker. He has been lifted up and placed upon a pedestal and as a result does not re- scedve the sympathetic understanding accorded Lincoln. We feel with drawn from Washington. We do not know enough of his human quali- ties.
 Washington has been greatly ideaHzed in his portraits. He was feet inches tall. He was pock- marked anud his teeth were gone early in life Later he had nothing but sea horse teeth. When an art
 
 had to stuff cotton in his mouth to shape it becomfngIy. He was a great adrnirer of the ladies and Ifk- ed dancing. He was essentially all- man and the red blood coursed through his veins tumuItu ously
 He staked all-1ife, fortune, every thing, for his country. He did 1t all without pay, with no desire for office or for gain He did what he did in the face of the most violent opposition from enemies, some of whom we are accustomed to speak of as great Americans of that day. I Washington was d man of integ- rity and of honor. He was faithful to l the last He acted for all of us in the hour of extremity There was much in common between him and Abraham Lincoln. One man made the Republic; one man saved the Re l pubhc: one man shall point out the Republics greater life. Who thai third man will be God knows and that is enough"
 Rev. Everett A. Burnes, pastor of l the church was toastmaster at the l dinner. Other speakers were Fred erick Rhodes, president of the club; A W. Burritt and Sidney ". ChaI- l lenger, associate editor of the Bridge port Post.

 LEG AMPUTATION

Bordeaux, France, Feb. 23-The condition of Sarah Bernhardt, whose right leg was amputated yesterday at the St Augustine Hospital Arcachon- was last night said to be satisfactory although she seems to be sufferine 2 considerable pain. Telegrams of in quiry regarding Mime. Bernhardtss condition were received during the day from Queen Victoria of Spain, the ex-Empress Eugenia, Paul Des- chane, president of the chamber of deputies and Albert DaIfmier, under secretary of fine arts, together with hundreds of others. Edmund Ros- tant went to Arachon yesterday and remained there until assured the op- eration had been successful.
 Surgeons and nurses present at the operation expressed themselves as deeply impressed by the calm courage with which the tragedienne met the ordeal. When the anaesthetic was administered she asked permission to embrace her son. Maurice. who was waiting anxiously in the next room She then expr essed her readiness for the surgeons to proceed.
 The operation proper lasted 19 min uteS and the leg was removed above the knee. After she had recovered consciousness Mime. Bernhardt was removed from the operation room tc the elevator and taken to her rooms on the floor below. She was com pleteIy mistress of herself and ap- peared in no way excited She will be kept in absolute quiet for two weeks and then will be removed to Andernos, near Arcachon, where she will complete her convalescence.
 It was announced this morning thai Mime. Bernhardt passed a good night She slept well and her pulse and temperature are normal.

FAST AUTOS CHASE
 MOTORCYCLIST WHO SPED FROM VICTIM
Four Dash Fifteen Blocks at 45 Miles an Hour, But
 Fugitive Escapes.


 New York, Feb. 28.-Racing south on Seventh avenue at o'clock last evening, man driving 8, motorcycle at about thirty miles an hour ignored the police signal to halt at One Hun dred and Twenty-hfth Street, and ran down a woman on the south crossing. The woman was tossed head first against the curb, where she lay un- | conscious and bleeding; the cyclist put on more speed to escape. Max Baden of No. 666 Crotona, ave- nue. driving a high-powered automo- bile, and three other automobiles made after the fugitive. Then three men on motorcycles took up the chase.
 In his report made later to the police, Baden said that his speedo- meter showed that between One Hun dred and Twenty-dfth and One Hun dred and Sixteenth streets he was making forty-ave miles an hour, but so fast was the man on the motor cycle going that he could not get close to him. Behind Baden came the other automobiles and motorcyc1ists. At One Hundred and Sixteenth St., a crosstown car going east was mar row1y missed by the fleeing cyclfst, who shot bS only a few inches from the fender. Baden and the other pursuers were forced to slow up. Again the race started The cy- cI1SC SnOL Into central Park at the One Hundred and Tenth Street en- l trance. There are three roads at this point, one to the east, one to the center and the other to tn west. Holiday crowds in the park saw the fugitive speed past, but no one seem ed certain just which road he had taken.
 The pursuers divided, some taking one road and some the others, but the cyc1ist was going at such 9, pace that he disappeared.
 Victims Skull Is Fractured.
 The injured woman was identified in Harlem Hospital, as Mrs. Han nah Adolphus, forty-ffve years old, of Mo- 53o West One Hundred and Twenty Sixth street. She has a fractured skull, internal injuries and cuts on the face and body. The doc tors have little hope for her recovery.
 Baden told the police that had the motorcycle borne a. license tag he could have seen the number. Motor cycles, however, are not required to carry numbers
 A general alarm was sent out for the man who ran down Mrs Ado1- phus, but the police have not even a description of him.
