tempts to repeat the Socialist custer
proceedings of last year fell fat in the
Assembly to-day when that number OF
custer resolutions were sent to the
Judiciary Committee, where they will
be allowed to die, according to leaders
The introducers of the custer reso-
lutions were Assemblymen George H
Rowe, Of Erie; J. r. Carroll of Brook
lyn, and Ralph Halpern, of Queens
The resolutions presented by Halpern
and Rowe were confined to demands
for the expulsion of Assemblyman
Charles Solomon, of Kings, on the
ground that evidence obtained at last
years Socialist trial was sufficient
proof of Mr.. Solomon's unftncss to
serve.
Assemblyman Carroll had two custer
resolutions. One was directed at As
semblyman Samuel Orr, Of the Bronx,
and the other against Assemblyman
Henry jaeger, of Brooklyn. The rea-
xpns advanced in support of the unseat-
Ug of Orr were similar to those pre-
sented against Solomon. Both were
and targets for the crusade begun by
the Sweet-Daly forces. AS far as jaeger
was concerned, it was said his con-
nection with the Socialist party and
his adherence to the constitutional
provisions of that party precluded d
him frcm participating in the deliber-
ations of the Assembly.
Resolutions Go to Committee
The resolutions were referred to Ju-
dietary Committee on motion of Simon
l.. Adler, majority leader. There was
no debate on the resolutions, and their
lntroducers made no attempts to over
ride Adler.
Similar fate awaits q set of custer
resolutions to be introduced next
Ea,sa MednsSday rd evening eEysning by tAssemblyman
county.
No custer proceedings were insti-
tuted in the Senate against Senator
Edmund Seidel Of the Bronx, who was
allowed to take his seat without being
subjected to embarrassment of snv
sort.
The Legislature convened shortly
after noon. In the Senate the greater
part of the session, following orpani-
zatlon and the reading of the Gov
ernors message, was taken up with dis
cusslon of the Lockwood committee
and the MISUNDERSTANDING resolution
TO investigate the City Of New York.
Inc appointment by Governor Miller
cl Charles l.. Caddle, of Rochc;-
ter, to the post Of Superintendent If
Public Works was referred to the
Finance Committee on motion Of Sena
tor Walker.
A bill introducct by Senator John j.
boylan, Democrat, of New York, pro-
viding that ex-senator Henry M. Sage
and Speaker Machold be retained IS
members of the State Hospital Devcl-
opment Commission was the first to ye
ceive consideration this year. 1t was
advanced to third order of reading.
RESOLUTIONS extending the lives Of the
Mul!an committee, investigating school
coma llons and tsacncrs' salar.cs, and
the Knight committee, created to re-
codlfy the labor laws, were introduced
and referred to committee.
Urges Voting Machines
Among the bills introduced in ,he
upper house was one by Senator Schuv-
Ter Meyers calling tor the use of voting
machines in New York City. 1t was
estimated by Senator Meyers that great :
sums could be saved annually by the
Use Of SUCH machines, in that a reduc-
ton of the number Of voting districts
would result. In addition, it was said,
voting machines virtually would elm
mate fraud.
The administration measure propos-
ing changes in the election law for tn c
establishment OF official nominating
conventions VII be brought before the
Senate next "Wednesday by Senator
Charles W. Walton, of Kingston.
SO tar as can be learned, the prevail
ing sentiment seems to be for the re-
peal of the primary law to the extent
of the reestabishment Of official nomi-
mating conventions for state and judi
