He arrived in the United States in
the latter part of 1916, entering, it

He at once became a member of the

Enemy influence in State
Becomes a Law
Especial Coyrespondencel

ALBANY, May 1.-The bill Of Sena-
tor Theodore Douglas Robinson,
nephew Of Colonel Roosevelt, putting
the German American Alliance in this
state out of business was Signed to-
day by Governor Whitman. 1t is one
of series of bills sent to the Gov
ernor designed to eradicate German
influence both from the schools of the
state and other civic bodies.
Two of these measures had previous
~ been signed the Slater bill, elm
mating from the textbooks of the
schools all references that might fos-
ter German interests, and the Robin
son bill, removing from control of the
GermanAmerican Alliance the home
dedicated to General Herkimer in
Herkimer County.
The bill signed to-day annuls the
corporate existence of the German
American Alliance or any other organ
ization whose objects are the estab-
lishment of educational associations as
centres for fostering the German lam
guage and literature or other purposes
German in nature. The disclosures in
the Congressional Investigation of the
German-American Alliance are largely
responsible for the passage of the
bill.
Towner Bill Hearing May 8
The hearing on the Towner bill pro-
viding for the formation of domestic
insurance corporations to transact the
business OF German companies, whose
property has been taken by the gov
ernment under the trading with the
enemy act. has been postponed to May
8 at II a. m. 1t lfad been scheduled for
to-day.
At hearing this afternoon the
Governor said he would sign three
bills which require provision for the
education of ilhterates and that cities
of all classes maintain night schools.
They are backed by the State Depart
ment of Education
In spite of the strenuous opposition
of mayors from cities throughout the
central part of the state the Governor
is expected to sign the Sage-Adler bill,
which would lease to private corpora
tions the surplus waters of the canals
for power purposes. At hearing on
the measure Attorney General Merton
E. Lewis appeared as it's only advo-
cate. Mayor John Fitzgibbons of Os-
wego, charged the Attorney General
with not treating Oswego fairly in its
water power development, and said
"there might be scandal connected
with the barge canal and tn, City of
Oswego before VIC get through with
it,"
Silent on Scandal Threat
care you looking at me when you
talk of scandal 2" asked MIR. Lewis.
NO" was the reply. "But you have
not treated lis fairly"
Mayor Fitzgibbons later insisted he
could back up his assertion about a
scandal, but he refused to make known
any further details.
Mayor Cornelius F. Burns of Troy,
president of the State Conference Of
Mayors, charged that the bill was the
greatest steal Of peoples rights ever
perpetrated" and that the corporations
would be the only ones to benefit
Peter ]. Brady, representing the State
Federation of Labor, declared the
measure was a slap at municipal own
ership. which assertion the Attorney
General denied. The mayors who ap-
peared agreed the measures would per-
nit a monopoly of the water powers
of the state.

AS far as the loafers on the station
platform at Washington, N. j., know,
the homo cat is still "holding her down"
on the brake beams
When "No. 403" drew into Washing
ton on the Lackawanna-tracks yesterday
morning d brakeman got off to investi-
gate certain dolorous sounds that had
led him to suspect a hot box some
where. Perched on one Of the trucks of
forward coach he saw the hobo cat.
Originally he had been white. Cinders
and dust had camoufaged him until you
had to look twice to see that he was a
cat at all.
Travelling had not improved his dis
position, and the brakeman fell back
from the hobo's wailing war cry and re-
turned later with a rake, with which he
dislodged the stealer Of free rides. At
least he thought he did. When 4O3
started to roll away from Washington
there was a streak of brown across the
platform, triumphant squall and the
hobo cat was back in his old place, roll
ing out, too.
