ONE COURT TO TRY

WHO ARE INDICTED
There Is Quite a Crowd of
Them-Judge Grain Sug-
geStS Special Term.

Judge T. c. T. Grain proposed 10 the
Judges OF General Sessions to-day a
modification Of the court rules by
which a special term shall be set aside
for the trial OF city officials under
indictment. Judge Grain asserts that
the city suffers by retaining these
men on its rolls while their guilt or
innocence Is in doubt, and their cases
should be expedited.
The only exception to this argument
Is the case Of Col. Augustus Drum
Porter. former Third Assistant Police
Commissioner. whose second trial for
neglect of duty has been hanging fire
for more than a year.
The others under indictment are
Commissioner of Accounts David
Hirshfield, for criminal libel; Assist
ant District Attorney James L. Smith
for conspiracy with Charles F..
Murphy and others in connection
With the HerSog glucose litigation;
Assistant District Attorney f. p.

This decision was made after a con-

GETTING

EARLY IN SESSION
Legislators Rush AdminiStra-

PrecedentS.

afEAmAM WNAAaAl
ALBANY, N. T., Feb. 2e.--Wlth q
very busy week ahead OF the legis-
latOrs II has developed that more
speed has been shown by the present
body OF Bolons than in any Legisla-
ture for many years past. The pres
ent week closes with most Of the Ad-
ministration measures introduced
and with some Of them we'll on their
way 70 the executive office.
Several Of the bills he has advocat-
ed will be in his bands before tho
end of next week and more Will be
on their way to him. One OF the most
important OF these, the consolidation
Of the tax collecting agencies OF the
State, Is scheduled for passage on
Monday night.
Prohibition enforcement will be the
subject OF a conference OF Repubii-
can Senators, and Senator Clayton
r. LuslI, majority leader. says that
there is no doubt Of It being acted
upon favorably. 50 sure OF this was
no that he declared that there would
be no need Of turning the conference
into a caucus He thought that the
bills would come I'D for debate in the
Senate some time during the week.
The bills have already been reported
out OF committee In the lower house
and will most likely be acted upon
In the Assembly before the close OF
the week
The repeal Of the Daylight Saving
law viii come up in the Senate during
the week and the leaders now declare
that the bill will be in the hands OF
the Governor by Saturday.
Reorganization OF the Industrial
Commission. another OF the Governors
pet measures, will come up for pas
sage in the Assembly, the bill having
already been passed in the Senate and
transmitted to the Lower House this
week. Senator Lusk said to-day that
Notwithstanding reports TO the con-
trary, he was confident that there
were enough votes in the Senate to
pass both the Daylight Saving law
repeal and TO put the prohibition enc
forcement bill through.
II is unusual TO have 30 many ad-
miniBtration measures 80 near the
head OF the list at this period OF the
Legislature. Generally the Governors
bills are acted upon in the closing days
off the session. That they will be
still further favored was made evident
by the statement of the majority
leader to-day that conferences of
Republican Senators will be held in
future TO discuss them after every
Monday nights session.
