Mr. Jonas of Broome, who bUU occupies hia position on the Judiciary Com islttee of the Assembly, has an Boiboed that the blUa to be fathered by,hlm are identical with those whloa ware defeated by a close martin laat April. At that time "technical trickery" vaa resorted to in that the bills were tatroduced so late In the session that tt was thought by those behind Uleni that no public hearing could be had. f Tie time had lapsed for further oori ftldcration of bills in committee for the reason that all bills In committee . bad to be turned over to Uie Ilules "Committee. ,' The engineer of the Jcnks grab measure bad overlooked the fact that the Judiciary Committee hud been granted au extension on account of the Socialist ouster, which wan still In Its keeping. The Evening- World threw tho light of publicity on the situation and forced a publlo hear ing. The bills were puclully framed .in the interest of tbe New York trac tion companies and the New York Central llallroad, and hud they passed woujd have placed the public completely at the mercy , of those combined interests. 'Itearnlng by bitter experience that the bills can't be sneaked through the Legislature, the "Interests" lmve re- ' solved to come out this time In the ' Open, curtain that they have Uie accessary men in both Houses to npeed thorn, through In defiance of public '..opinion ncY publlo loss.

(Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) ALBANY, N. T., Jan. All th. arguments on the resolution broaden ing the powers of the Lockwood Housing Committee that will be hcn'ril thin afternoon and evening before the Joint opinion of tbe Senate Flnancr and Assembly Ways and Means Com mit teo will be In favor of the resolu tion but, notwithstanding, everybody hero In on tbe tip-toe of expectation as to the outcome. Contrary to all big fight In the Legislature, the opposition, which usually leads the fight, continue un der cover. The ominous nllcncx- of the opposition Is regarded In some quar ters as an Indication that the work of the banks. Insurance companies and workings of the 11. It.

The people or llrooklyu fall to reconcile the crowded condition of the curs with the clamor of the II. B, T. that It Is losing money on the operation of Its viiHaiis lines. In their fight to secure the desired In formation the delegation realizes that the roads nnd their receiver have the United Htutes courts behind them, but cannot see where they are going to bo prevented from viewing and. studying public records In the end It Is the legislature, representing the people of the Rtate of New York, and not the United States, which must grant or refuse increased fares, nnd the Brooklyn delegation, counting on the support nnd co-operation of the representatives of the rest of Greater New York, believe that they can make their fellow rep resentatives from up.Htatc see the situation as It really exists and block tho Jnnks "grab" bill or nny other legislation which has for Its object Increasing fares for the traction In terests and tho Now York Central .'ft'" ' " ' other financial Institutions which wilt be affected by tbe resolution has al eady been done. In tho absence of the opposition. It Is not Improbable that members of the Joint committee will cross-cx-amlno Senator Ijckwood and Mr. Untcrjnjor. It is not only their privl. lege, but their duty to do so, and nothing would pleni both thene gen tlemen better, for it would serve the purpose of emphasizing points tliey will make. The Slate Hank Association hns been busy In Its-efforts to smother the rofHilutinn or to emasculate It. Ho have the insurance companies, as well us other llnanclul institutions, who fear that the Iirkwooil committee may delve too deeply Into their af falrsx Thene institution lmve, through their branches and repre- aentatives throughout tbe State, tried to reach every Senator and Assembly, man with their arguments against the broadening of tho committee's power. How many they havo reached Is prob lematical, ns well as how many ad herents they have In tl. Joint com mittee, which con bo told only by tho vote. New Yorit needs all the help It can get IxJt.li In Uin Joint committee und In both Houses. But It Is fmrrvl tlmt the Finance Committee will bo lurklntr In the thrco Democratic votes of New York, those pt Senators Walker. Itoylan and Twoomey.
