Wagner Backs Bill
To Give New York
Equality at Albany
Amendment Would Provide
State Representation on
Basis Of Population
From a stan Correspondent, Of The rribun.l

From STAN correspondent or Inc Tr1bunel
Albany, March 4.-Senator Robert
+. Wagner, minority leader of the
Senate, is sponsoring an amendment
to the constitution designed to give
New York City a fairer representa-
ton in the Legislature. Senator
Wagner contends that it will estab-
lish true representative government,
and is supported by the Court of APP
peals decision that exact represen-
tation requires that every Senator and
every Assemblyman shall represent
the same number OF people"
The Wagner amendment would elm
mate the present provisions that no
county shall have more than one-third
of all the Senators and that no two
adjoining counties shall have more
than one-half. IL also provides that
the total population of the state be
divided by 100, the total number of
Assemblymen, and that each division
so obtained shall be entitled to enc
Assemblyman.
1.-THE people of New York" Senator
Wagner declares. have been too long
denied a fair representation. The
metropolitan district has n population
amounting to nearly 60 per cent of
the entire population and pays about
T3 per cent Of the expenses Of the
state, but it has only A per cent rep
resentation.'

Taft, in Wrecked
Car, Faces Fall
From High Bridge
Two Coaches Derailed as
Boston Flyer Crosses
Mianus River
Saved by Guard Rail
Women Faint from Fright as
Heavy Train Bumps
Over Ties

Stamford Conn, March 4-The
heavy pine guard rail of the Mianus
River drawbridge, near here, was all
that prevented New York, New Haven
& Hartford parlor car, in which former
President Taft was riding to-day, from
plunging forty feet into the water with
another car of the Boston Express
which also had jumped the track.
As the train started across the draw
bridge at about l o'clock, the two
coaches were derailed and bumped
along the ties for 100 feet before the
express could be halted. Several times
they bounded against the guard rail,
but the stout wood held.
The express was making about TWEEN
ty-fve miles an hour when the acct
dent occurred. There were seventy
persons in the two cars. No one was
seriously hurt, but several women
tainted from fright.
There are four tracks across the
in length. The engine. baggage and
smoking cars, ahead Of the two coaches
that were derailed, kept the track So
did the diner, parlor cars and passen-
ger coach which followed.
Some of the ties over which the cars
bounded were ground into splinters by
their weight. One rail was broken.
The passengers were transferred TO a
train made up at Port Chester and
containued their journey after a delay
of one hour and twenty minutes. It
took wrecking crew several hours to
remove the derailed cars.
W. H. Foster, superintendent of the
New York division of the road, who
arrived at the bridge with the wreck
ing crew. said that the rear trucks of
the coach following the smoker and all
the wheels of the coach behind it left
the rails before they reached the
bridge The cause of the accident is
not known.

New Liquor Tax
Plans Threaten
To Defeat Drys
Brown and Sweet Fail to
Aid Local Option, Favor
ed by Whitman
Food Measures Dying
Suffrage, State Police and
Boxing Legislation Due
to Pass

from stan Correspondent o. The Tnbunel
Albany, March 4.-Liquor legislation
threatens to mar the tranquility tna'
exists between Governor Whitman and
the Republican leaders of the Legs
lature. The Governor insists on the
passage of the Hill-Wheeler local OPP
ton bill for cities. II has been
amended to conform with his ideas
Senator Elon r. Brown, majority leader
Of the Senate, supported by Speaker
Thaddeus C. Sweet and other infuen-
tial members of both houses, intends TO
put through the new liquor tax amend
ments before local option reaches the
floor. Therein lies the difficulty.
The Governor and the prohibition
forces fear that if the Legislature en-
acts the new liquor tax amendments
intended to drive obnoxious places out
of business as well as increase the
states revenues, it will shelve local OPP
ton and prohibition for another year
or Two 10 permit 'he
accomplish results To prevent such a
move Governor Whitman is SAID 10
have taken the stand that he Will not
sign any liquor tax amendments before
the local option bill has been passed.
Dry Campaign D'spleases
Senator Brown and other legislator.
are displeased with the character OF
the campaign that the Anti-Saloon
Leaguers, headed by William II. Ander-
SON have conducted. Mr.. Brown has
had printed as Senate Document No. 81
one of the bitterest of Mr.. Anderson
attacks upon him, so that the legisia-
tors may become acquainted with the
kind Of pressure that is brought 70
bear.
Having spent two months cluttering
I'D the committees with approximately
two thousand bills, the Legislature is
now engaged in the wedding out proc,
ess, and will be ready to consider hall
a dozen or more important measures
next week.
From present Indications there Is
small chance of passing the Wicks 1000
and market bill. Even the Governor
who is sponsoring it, admits that 1t vii
have TO be changed materially. Ihe
original proposal Of commi ssion OF
seven will probably be reduced 20
three. Mayor Mitcheps emergency bil
to permit the city to buy and sell fooc
is also in jeopardy.
State Police Bill Favored
The state police bill is expected "a
get 70 votes in the Assembly. Vote by
the Senate on amendments to the
measure was q successful test in the
upper house. Suffrage will be passed
as soon as il is reached on the calendar
perhaps late this week. The Slater
bill to wipe out the Boxing Commission
also is scheduled to be reported favor
ably to the Senate this week. The
leaders say it will pass.
Favorable action is expected on the
Graves Marsh bill limiting the hours
of female restaurant workers to fifty
four hours a week. There will be a
joint hearing on this bill on Tuesday
Senator Brown is optimistic about his
literacy test amendment
Besides these measures the Legislat-
ure must act on the annual appropria-
ton bills, general tax measures. on
which there is a hearing on Wednes-
day; election law changes, respportion-
ment and other matters.
