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

FOES TO
HEARING TO-DAY
Legislators to Hear Untcr
mycr and Lockwood Late
This Afternoon.
By Joncph S. Jordan.
(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. T., Its franohlst,
.ts receivership, the methods of opera.
Hon, the dlHconttiiuance of a number
of Its line's to the diBcoinfort and In
convenience of the public, Is the
uucieus 01 me agming rorco arrayed
ugaJrurt. the traction In tercets and
their allies up the Htate.
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. That
was the situation I his morning, nil
three men having made other nr
rungniiients before they were noti
fied of the hearing. With mgnrd to
the three morrvbers on the Ways nnd
Means Committee. Minority Insider
f'harles Donohue sold that they would
be on hnnd They are Hamlll of New
York. Inlngor of Queens and Boas
ley of Erie.
