WORLDLY
ALBANY, March Ex-senator Sal
vatore A. Gothic expressed himself
this morning as well pleased with the
advancement OF his bill for the pro-
tectlon Of the hundreds OF thousands
OF foreign born residents from their
fellow countrymen, posing as private
bankers, and through whom they
have been robbed OF millions Of dol
lars, supposed to be transmitted to
their families or other relatives
abroad
The measure has been made a special
order for Monday night II Is aimed
at the big steamship companies and
express companies which have
been gathering in the millions through
their sub-agents. Some OF the money
has found its way across the seas,
but large amount OF II has not left
the country. II has been pocketed in
many instances by INSCRIPTIONS sub
agents.
This particular bin OF Mr. Cotello's
would bring tho steamship and eX-
press companies under the super
vision OF the State superintendent OF
Banks, as well as their sub-agents,
who have been doing a private bank
ing business without regard to the
banking laws Of the State, their
clients being absolutely without pro-
tection or redress.
A powerful lobby mas been operat-
ing at the Capitol in the interests Of
the steamship lines. most OF them
foreign, and OF the express com
panies, and yesterday they thought
that they had put one over on Co
tillo--the introduction OF a bill which
would make the measures OF Senator
Cotillo harmless. so far as their
clients were concerned, Then the
lobby went home satisfied that they
had done "a good days work"

REWARD. -.
Senator Cotillo waited patiently for
a chance to have his bill advanced,
waited as he had done for three
weeks, and then his turn came. Ma
jority Leader Clayton r. Lusk had
promised him that an opportunity
should be given him to be heard on
the bill yesterday, but the hours
wore away. taken up with debate on

he would not object to the bills ad-
Vancement. He thought though, he
said that in towns like Cortland, for
instance, and other towns similarly
located. where steamship agents arr

be permitted TO do business, and ho

that the amount Of money deposited
by the immigrant on this side Is paid

This can only be done by bringing
the companies within the jurisdiction

means. These men say that they will
