ALBANY, March %. - Senator Clay
ton 4. Lusk, president pro TEN. Of tn,
SENATE, and Senator James J. Walker
minority leader, had their first seriou,
tilt OF this session to-day during de-
bate on the annual appropriation bill
which came up for advancement u
third order of reading.
The argument arose when Senate,
Lusk accused Senator Walker of en-.
gaging in grandstand play in his OBJ
Jections to features of the appropria
tion bill dealing with the State Hospital
Commission. Mr.. Lusk told the Tam
many spokesman that he was taking
and that Mr.. Walker, if he had attended
70 his duties as a member of the
Finance Committee, would nave had all
the data in his possession without
wasting the time of the Senate.
In return Senator Walker character
lied Senator Lusk as "the thin skinned
head Of the legislative Kn-Klux Klan.'
and said he was sacrificing efficiency
at the altar of economy
The alteration occurred when Sena-
tor Walker began to cross-question
Senator Charles J. Hewitt, chairman
OF the Senate Finance Committee, as to
reduction Of nearly $2,2O0,000 in the
appropriation for the State Hospital
Commission
After protracted argument between
the leaders, during which nearly all
parliamentary rules were thrust aside,
Senator Walker moved that the bill be
put over until tomorrow in order that
a member of the hospital commission
might appear before the Senate and
express the attitude of the commission
toward the bill.
Commissioner Summoned
eve won't wait until tomorrow" ex-
claimed Senator Lusk. eve will do it
right now. Let US see how much taking
there is about this thing"
The outcome was that the sergeant
alarms of the Senate was sent down
to the offices Of the Hospital Commits
sion with orders to have one of the
commissioners appear before the Sem
ate. He returned shortly, accompa-
MED by Commissioner Frank A. Hig-
gins.
Those that had expected Commits
sioner Higgins would pour oil on the
troubled waters were disappointed.
Mr.. Higgins at the very outset gave
evidence that he, at least, was not sat
isfied with the slash in the commits
sion's appropriation requests. One of
the points on which Senator Walker
asked information was if the Commits
sioner considered the ratio Of one at
tendant for every ten patients a suf-
ficient allowance. Mr.. Higgins's reply
was that there should be a minimum
of one attendant for every eight pa
tients to insure proper care

From a staff Correspondent


ALBANY, March Mayor Hvlar
told the Senate Committee on Public
Service at hearing to-day on the bill
giving the city permission to own and
operate motor bus lines, that only 1O.-
0W residents of Greater New York nre
opposed to the plan, and these for
purely selfish reasons or because they
do not realize the urgent need for bus
| lines.
Members of Mayor Hylan's cabinet,
including F. II. La Guardia, President Of
the Board of Aldermen, joined with the
Mayor in his appeal for favorable con-
ssideration of the bill. They denied
charges that questions of politics plav
any part in the Hylan demand for the
establishing of municipality owned bus
lines.
"Of course" interrupted Senator
John Knight. chairman of the Public
Service Committee, 1--WE are looking on
.nls with an open mind and the dues-
ton OF politics will have nothing to do
with ,s our consideration of this bill"
me opposition to the bill was led by
Job n. Hedges, receiver for the New
York City Railways, who said that the
real plan behind the measure is to
drive street railways out Of business
This measure" he said, "under-
takes to solve one problem by substi-
tuting something which in the end
would prove even worse than the pres
ent traction problem. We know that
bus lines can't handle heavy traffic
we nave seen it dem monstrated.
but ne continued, looking toward
Mayor Hylan, I'VE are all above voting

hear so much about this terrible trac-
ton trust which has the public bv the

might have been solved long ago"

=, Il am firmly convinced" said Timothy
Shea, representing the B. R. T.. "that
the traction bill now before the AS
sembly will meet and solve the trac-
ton problem. Intelligent people in
New York City have great faith in this
Dill, and feel solution is near. Most
of those who take the motor busses
seriously are those who want to use
them as vehicle for their personal
political ambitions"
B. Il. T. and the personal representa-
tive of Lindley NJ. Garrison, Federal
receiver for the road, said that there
is no serious objection to the estab-
fishing of bus lines in outlying sec
tions not serviced by trolley lines. but
that the tendency had been to operate
bus lines in congested districts. He
also objected to the failure of the bill
to include provisions for the issuance
of transfers.
-, Edward A. Maher, speaking for the
Third Avenue Railway. said that if the
street railway companies we're to en-
Joy the same exemption from taxa

Mayor Agrees to Amendment

"Only 10000 out Of more than $500

IDEA Is not to scrap the street surface
lines: They are scrapping themselves
by the poor service they are giving.
The bus lines can operate at five-cent
fare and show profit and give trans-
iers, too. We are willing to have the
LII amended so as 70 include transfers.

est traffic New York has to offer. He
said it would be a blessing If the troll

that even IL fare increases are granted

overhead is too large and their form Of
transportation too slow.

attacked Governor Miller's rapid tran

TO get very far and that the court may

tion Of constitutionhlity of the pro-

Mr.. Higgins, II nxy As we'll say that
the only real obstacle to IN eficient
administration Of the State Hospital
for the Insane is the very measure un-
der discussion"
Senator HeWitt objected to this. He
said that Commissioner Higgins had
not been called upon to lecture to the
Senate, but merely to answer ques-
tions. Mr.. Higgins's reply was that
it might have proved better If the
Finance Committee in making up the
budget had consulted more closely
with the commission.
Senator Walker fed the flames once
more when he asked Commissioner
Higgins If the appropriation granted
the commission was not too small to
meet the commissions needs.
Mr.. Higgins had begun to answer in
the affirmative when he was cut short
once more by Senator Hewitt.
Senator Lusk informed the New
York Senator that every department
head looks upon his apprpriation re-
quest as his own particular pet and
Finance committees.
"You win find a lot of soreheads
all about the Capitol If you start to
look for thcm," he told Senator
Don't sduawk and be 50 thin
skinned" retorted Mr.. Walker. sI
don't give snap for your soreheads,
but as long as you have mentioned the
subject, might say that, in my opin
ion, you fall within that category
