Advanced.
Special Despatch to TIE NEW YORK Herald.

New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, Apris !.
The Senate convened this evening FOR
its first special night session, and began
rushing through a mass OF local bils
in an effort to clear the calendars in
preparation for adjournment next week.
Scores of measures which have lain for
weeks in committee are being shot
through and all the Senators are hard
at work trying to rescue their pet home
town legislation.
One of the New York bills passed to-
night transfers from Mayor Hylan 70
the City Magistrates the appointment OF
the 200 or more city marshals.
In spite of the assurance that New
York's water supply would be pro-
tccted fully from pollution. Senator
Walker Democratic leader, made a
hard fight against the Hewitt bill, au-
thorzing the new State Board Of Esti-
mate and Control to sell the lands and
buildings in the Mohansic Lake reser-
vaticn in Yorktown, Westchester
county.
The reservation was set aside orig
inally as boys school and later was to
be useda as a hospital. After several
buildings were partly erected the site
was abandoned few years ago on the
ground 81 hospital there would pollutc
the streams and a reservoir which form a
part OF the New York water supply. Seaa-
tor walker objected that the bill would
allow the State board 10 sell the land 10
people who might build another hospital
or Use it for raising pigs He was as
sured, under the law nothing could be
done to harm the city's water supply.
Tho State has spent about 100000 on
the site The bill was advanced TO the
order Of final passage.
The Senate passed the Lussl bill. which
would allow contractors TO 80 into the
courts and recover FOR any losses they
might have sustained on State. municipal
or county contracts during the world
war. The bill would make it possible for
New York city subway contractors to sue
for losses alleged to be nearly sl0,000,00o.

FILM CENSOR BILL
REACHES SENATE
republicans Expect to Pass
Drastic Measure i'll Con-
ference.
PICTURE LOBBY is BLUE

Monday for Final Battle
Against Act.
Special Despotch 70 THE NEW YORK HERALD.

Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, April I.
The motion picture censorship bill
was reported to the Senate to-day by
the Finance Committee with the amend
ments materially reducing the license
fees as agreed On last night at the con-
ference OF Republican Senators. Assent
blv Republicans also are expected to
vote in conference TO pass the Dill, put
It's opponents have not yet given up
hope.
The bin on being reported was
ghunted into the general orders calendar
on the objection OF Senator Walker,
Democratic leader AZ it was announced
to-day that the Senate would not AGAIN
20 into general orders a special rule will
have to be adopted to pry It out. That
will be done.
The bill carrying out Gov. Miller's
recommendations for development of the
States water power by private capital
also was reported to the Senate.
In ordinary circumstances when
bill goes to the Committee of the Whole
at this stage Of the session it means its
end. The motion picture interests took
hope for time to-day when they be-
lieved the measure might have been
sent to its death. but the Republican
leaders said later that the bin would be
rescued and in All probability passed.
The measure provides for commits
sion or three members With salaries OF
$500 a year. The motion picture in
terests still are fighting to have the bill
amended to provide that the commits
sioners serve without salaries. This
proposal will be rejected.
Changes made in the proposed law
by the Republicans in their conference
last night gave little cheer to the motion
picture men. The amendments merely
cut the fees to be charged producers
for examination of films and do not
strike at the sweeping power of cen
sorship which il is proposed to lodge
with the commission. 1t is provided
that the motion picture censors shall
have power of review over motion pic
turc posters
Discouraged over the outlook. the
picture lobby which has been here all
'the week fighting the measure went
away this evening They will return
on Monday for final battle.
