ALBANY, Dec. 30.--Albany said its
farewell tonight to Alfred y. Smith as
Governor and in the saying gave re-
nrariSable tribute to Alfred Il. Smith the
man. Mr.. Smith, who celebrated his
forty seventh birthday to-day, spoke at
the same time his valedictory as the
Chief Executive of the State as he pre-
pared to step out of office, indicating
plainly he was a very happy man.
-Four hundred or more, citizens OF Al
bany, together with a hundred or more
prominent Democrats from New York
city and other parts of the State, were
present at the dinner at the Ten Eyck
Hotel Probably another 400 would
have been present had there been seat
ing capacity for them.
Nobody bothered to count noses to
see how many Democrats or Republicans
were there in fact, nobody cared. al
though the occasion marked the formal
opening of the ceremonies incidental to
the inauguration of n new Governor.
There were probably as many Repuoli-
cans as Democrats present and every

MILLER FRIGHTENS
SOFT JOB HOLDERS
But New Governors Economy
Programme Fails to Keep
Politicians at Home.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
ALBANY, Dec. 30.-Nathan l.. Miller
arrived in Albany tonight ready for his
Inauguration as Governor and found the
city filled with badly scared politicians
and Office holders. The Governor-elect's
announcement that he proposed to cut
deep into the State budget and to so
seriously at the business of saving money
has given the little army Of office hold
ers and Job seekers the worst case of
nerves they have had in years.
Apparently no one knows what is go
ing to happen There is a widespread
belief that the new Governor proposes
to look beyond the professional politi-
clans and to make determined effort
TO bring the States expenditures within
is income. That is what Is causing the
apprehension. because such course
means the Governor is prepared to cut
out large number OF useless Jobs now
cluttering all the State offices.
Mr.. Miller drove directly to the Elk
ecutive Mansion. where he was greeted
by Mrs Miller and his youngest daugh-
ter, Constance. who came yesterday and
put the official residence in order. He
was accompanied by three other daugh-
ters, Marion, Margaret and Elizabeth

THE question that presents itself 10
my mind Is. Why and how does this
happen? Could it be that certain of the
bonding companies accept collateral Sc
curity in the form of stolen jewels. bonds
or cash, insuring to them protection
against any loss in the event of the
criminal bailed by them failing to ap-
pear for trial?
1T is well known fact that criminals
who have been bailed while at liberty
on such bail have perpetrated other I'M
