to the immediate crying need of a
place for these boys to 80. They are
homeless. starving, penniless.

fast enough to suit me. Send 1t faster.

Service House where these wounded
boys may go when they come out of
hospitals to take their vocational
training.

on a tray and pay for what you get!

lieves that the state has no constl-

Intended TO license ticket brokers and
restrict their charges 10 so cents In
excess Of the box Office price. the Gov

the exercise OF the States police
powers. No ground for such exercise
had been called to his attention. he
said:

my Impressions were against the
constitutional validity of the bill

my attention has not been called to

ALBANY, March The lineup
Of interests in favor OF the Miller
Traction Bill is already in evidence
AZ the Capitol. The hearing takes
place In the Assembly Chamber fol-
lowing the session tomorrow after
noon, and the hearing may be pro-
ductive OF an explanation of Just
what the Governors measure means
No. one win venture to say what the
provisions OF the bill hold for the
City of New York further than TO
say that the city will be shorn Of all
power over its transit lines and that
the franchises will be worthless.
Senator John knight, Chairman OF
the Public Service Committee, failed
to 5yut in the promised amendments
y the bill at last nights session, but
said that he would have them ready
To-day. Evidently there has been
another hitch on the proposition to
amend the bill so that 1t will not give
the Rapid Transit Commission power
10 increase fares until the Governors
programme has been carried out.
1t was asserted last week by Chair
-ihan Knight and by Majority Leader

Machold Of the Assembly that the
amendment would go into the bill
last night But since then Gov. Miller
mas been heard from and his ulti-
