Evening Werld, which was the
first paper to expose the hidden
meaning between the lines Of the
measures.
Louis Cuvilier, Sol Ullman, Will
liam w. Pellett, pitched into the bills
and tore them to rags yesterday.
The only New York member who
openly advocated the measures was
Oscar j. Smith of Washington Heights,
who said that he would have been
glad TO sponsor the bills. But other
members from Greater New York
banged and whanged on the measures
and while they dSd not charge that
bribery had ben reSorted to they
asked in ringing tones what had beon
done over night to bring a change OF
nCart TO certain members.
1t was charged that paid employees
OF the Assembly were trying to get
votes for the jerks bills, and all the
while there were, in the room to the
left Of Speaker Sweets rostrlIm,
lobbyists Of the Traction Trust try
ing 10 direct the vote which would
make the bills the laws of the land
so far as the Assembly was con-
cerned.
And then, after assurance had been
given that the necessary seventy six
votes were corralled, a counting Of
noses again showed that there had
been defections in the traction ranks
and that Il would be impossible to
put them over at the session. Then
Speaker Sweet interrupted the de-
bate and said Majority Leader Adler
wanted to make a motion that the
entire calendar go over till to-day.
Assem7blyman Louis A. Cuvillier
was on his feet in a moment with
an objection and a point of order.
The rules, our rules" he shouted,
provide that when a bill is on the
order of third reading a motion to
adjourn is not in order until the
disposition Of the bill and that a
vote on the bill must be taken be-
fore the House can adjourn"
Speaker Sweet ruled in direct OPP
position to the rules bhat the point
was not we'll taken, and Mr.. Cuvil-
her Immediately appealed from the
decision of the Chair. Before his mo-
tion could be put Majority Leader
Adler moved to adjourn. This is a
motion which is not debatable.
The motion was put and carried and
the traction lobbyists given anothe
night to gather the needed ten votes
to put the measures through the
House.

said. They appealed to IA man they
