Special Despatch 10 THE Sun.


ALBANY. N. Y, Jan 12.--"Well, you
much" said Mrs. Mary NJ. Lilly, the new
Assemblywoman from the Seventh New
York district, to a SUN man who wanted
to find out how the first woman elected
to the State Assembly from a New York
city district was getting along in the
State Legislature.
No wonder she likes 1t, thought the
reporter. for Mrs. Lilly had in her hand
bag $3.50 that had just been given to
her by the Assembly pay clerk. Thirty
dollars OF this wax mileage money that
member of Assembly gets but once
year. The rest was pay. and n hasty
calculation showed that the Assembly
had been in session only four times in
tho ten days for which Mrs. Lilly was
being paid. 1t seems that members OF
the Legislature get paid at the rate of
$40 day for 100 days, and If the SEES
sion drags along much after that time
they have to pay their own expenses,
for the pay clerk holds back part Of
their $500 year salary until the close
OF the last day.
Mrs. Lilly. who Is a.lawyer and was
admitted to the bar in 1896 after being
graduated at the New York University
Law School as the first woman to win a
full scholarship. has had a very pleas
ant time during her public life In AL
bany. She always has been suffrage
advocate. taught school In New York
for ten years. and from 1909 has been
deeply interested in the New York city

HUMAN CHAIN FAILS
TO SAVE COASTERS
TUo Boys DrolUned in Pres

Garrett Cooper, 10. and Fred Morley.
II. both of Paterson, were drowned in
the Passaic River, opposite West Side
Park, yesterday when their bobsled ran
on TO thin ice and broke through. A big
crowd was watching the sleighing young
sters from the river bank and men and
women shouted encouragement to them
when, after the first plunge. the heads of
both boys appeared above the surface
and they reached out with their hands to
grasp the eled that was floating near
them.
Small ice cakes got between the boys
and the sled, however, and both went
down a second time. Wilfred Ellis, chum
of the drowned boys, stepped out on the
ice. holding the hand of Percy Temple.
Slowly they edged their way nut toward
the open water. The ice began to crack
and then John Sweitzer and Herbert
Hennion crept down from the shore, laid
down on the Ice and Temple seized his
ankles. Then Temple stretched himself
fiat and Sweltzer held him. Hennon
formed the last link in the human chain
and slowly the four slid along toward
the spot where their companions still
were struggling In the water They
reached the edge of the ice just as
Cooper and Morley sank.
In their efforts to ge. back toward
shore Ellis and Temple stood up and the
ice broke beneath them. BY that time.
however men had found a rowboat and
were sliding It across the ice. and in n
moment the second pair were dragged
out of the water none the worse for their
ducking. The bodies of Cooper and Nor
ley were recovered by the police.
