tstaH Correspondent Of The evening

ALBANY, March alt is apparent
to-day that advocates OF Gov. NIL
ler's traction bills have lost ground
and are making desperate efforts to
steady and strengthen their weak
ened lines.
Heretofore those opposing the Mil
ler programme have pinned their
hopes of defeating the measure solely
upon the Senate. The Assembly.
with its overwhelming upstate Re-
publican majority. was regarded as
safe" leaders claiming no less than
ninety votes sure for anything advo-
Gated by the Governor. To-day the
Assembly lines are shaken and the
G. o. r. leaders claim only seventy
six votes for the traction bill. just the
number required TO pass It.
This claim Is in itself regarded M,
sure evidence OF weakness, for II
there we're seventy six sure votes"
It would be against all legislative
precedents for the bosses to claim
less than eighty-six.
Tho action OF official spolSesmen Of
the upstate cities was a severe Jolt
TO the Republican leaders, who had
declared a week ago that the tracks
had been creased for the measure 70
go through both Houses. Also II is
responsible in large part for the inn
pending break in Assembly lines.
TREMENDOUS PRESSURE USED

Gov. Miller Is more determined than
ever his DILL shall become law, and
although he talks to the correspond
ents as TO what the Legislature
might do OF might not do, he is
using every influence and political
device 10 whip the lawmakers into
line for his measure.
Gov. Miller may not care for the
position taken by the New York
state Mayors Conference on the
measure, but their determined oppo-
sition has made the legislators sit up
and take notice. This is true. in

BEL AIR HAS GANG OF REAL
BAD MEN.

Bel Air has gang Of boys rang
ing in age from 10 to Is years, who
organized themselves with iron
bound oath into real "bad men,"
Judge VIM. HI. Harlan heard the
group of cases against these young
desperadoes which revealed the fact
that they had formed a gang bound
by oath subscribed in their blood to
stand together. They hung out in
an abandoned house on the towns
outskirts and had pulled off num-
ber of well-planned robberies.
Though suspected, they had escaped
arrest for some time past. They are
said to have been we'll supplied with
an array of stolen weapons. The
Times says they are sons of most re-
spectacle residents and attend the
town schools. Judge Harlan traced
their break toward rowdyism to lack
of parental control and the too great
freedom allowed the rising genera
tion. He paroled the band on the
distinct understanding that if they
strayed again from ways of nor
malcy" they would be rounded up
and put where discipline would be
taught effectively,

Result of Saturdays Games

Perryville seemed to have the
edge on Rising Sun, in the game
saturday afternoon on the local
grounds, with just enough punch
to win out, Keesey's batting figuring
largely in the result, as his three
hits, one of them a three-bagger,
helped each of the runs across the
plate.
The home team scored two runs
in the fourth, but after that Miller
held them safe. Durborow, at Sec
ond, played a fine game, accepting
eight chances. Vannort, for Perry
vile, also played a fast game at Sec
