April 12. — Fresh evidence of the latent fpirit of hostility toward Governor Hushes was furnished in th«» Senate to-night by the recep tion accorded a message sent by him to the Legislature urging action on the Travis-Lee jjjbstitutJona! amendment, designed to furnish fund? f" r new ways in New York City. In a tarea^'ic speech^ Senator Raines called atten tion t<« the fact that this measure had already progr* ssod well without interference from the (Jpvoitvt. Senator McCarren declared that th-» Governor was overstepping the bounds of exec utive p« «er in pending a special message on this ]?rislati'<n. u-hieh. being a constitutional amend ment- could not c<">me before him in any form. The evident desire of those who spoke on the measure was t<> make it api tear an unwarranted interference with dm- and orderly consideration of legislation and a "gallery play." as Senator JleCaiK-n phrase.) it. Governor Hughes, as a natter of fact, merely gave his views on the importance of this measure to New York City, with this final comment: The matter is po Important that there is no Justification in relying on conjecture or in de pending on forecasts of the settlement of the existing controversy over the debt limit. This opportunity at least should not i..- lost and the people should have the right to give to New York •jt.\ this measure of freedom to which It Js justly entitled pome curiosity had been evident as to the rature of the Governor's message, hut it was retired almost with the first words read by the < ■k. and little attention was paid to the rest of it save by Senator Raines, who was busy ascenainine: the exact status of the •constitu tional amendment. "UNNECESSARY. RAINES THINKS. "I desire to express great satisfaction that the Governor is considering legislation, especially le?islati"n relating to the important subject his nessage covered." said the veteran majority leader as soon as the message was read. '"Lest some misunderstanding arise as to the laxity of the Legislature. I call attention to the fact that this measure is on the calendar as a sdecial order fur to-morrow and is on the second read lug calendar in the Assembly. I suppose this measure is not designed to influence the judg ment of any Senator, but to hurry proceedings. We appreciate the interest of the Governor and ire glad to know his views. Still, I must say this legislation has been progressed and is pro gressing as rapidly as jKissible, and so far as 1 know th«?re is no doubt about its i>assage_by this Legislature."' "Far be it from me to accuse the Governor of any gallery play,** sobbed Senator McCarren's lachrymose voice, "but I must call attention to the vanishing powers of the Legislature." Mr. McCarren -said likewise that he had no "desire to castigate the Governor," but he felt an Urgent desire to show that this, a constitutional amendment, would not come before the Gov ernor for action, and so the Executive was a little off his beat. if it were a pending bill, he said, "this might be a tip that the Governor ■ninild feign it, and that of itself would be an laaovation."' "There is a gradual attempt, in this as in many other states, to absorb tile powers and prerogatives of th~ Legislature by the Execu tive," said Mr. McCarren. "It would be well for the Legislature to member that it is a co ordinate branch of government." Senator Wagner, who favors the amendment, Enid that the other Democratic Senators from Jiauhatuin also favored it. and if the message ■»«.- meant as a earning the Governor must lave been misled as to the necessity I ■'■■ it. laniln Xewccmb declared the Governor had the constitutional right to communicate with the Legislature, not only on bills but on all landing legislation. "In view of th? opposition voiced to this measure in all quarters of the state." said -Mr. Xewcutnb, "those interested in its passage will vdcame the communication from the Governor if it aids la forming the judgment of some Ben ators." Th- projHised amendment, which a'so exempts *a.ttr bonds from the debt limit of third class cities, has been reported and is now on the cal endars of both houses. Constitutional amend ments nave v> be passed by two successive legislatures before they can be submitted to the people. Governor Hughes in his message points out that "tlie importance of the action of this Lcgis- Bllu ' upon this matter lies in the fact that ra'ess you approve the proposed amendment * c provide for its submission the people will *c doable to act upon it and the present oppor tunity will be lost."" In View of the existing situation in New York, 'the Governor says. lailare to pass the resolution "will involve the B **aajption >f a very heavy responsibility.** "CITY MUST HAVE NEW SUBWAYS."

PRICE THREE CENTS. SENATE TARIFF BILL REVISION DOWNWARD WITH TAXES OX LUX' CRIES IX(REASED. Burden? on Xeccsxitics Lightened and Inheritance Ta.r Eliminated — • Debate to Begin Thursday. [Fron* The Tribune Bu/1-i'x ! Washington, April 12. — Senator Aldrich r»* ported to the Senate to-day the Finance Com mittee's substitute for the schedules and frea list of the Payne tariff bill. Adjournment was taken until Thursday, when Mr. Aldrich ■will open the debate on the bill by explaining the principal changes proposed In the substitute. At the same time he will present to the Senate a fully prepared statement showing the esti mated revenue under the new schedules. With few exceptions the important provisions in the Senate substitute have been outlined in these dispatches for the last ten days. The ex clusive announcement in The Tribune of April • that Mr. Aldrich had submitted to President Taft the tentative draft of the substitute bill, an-3 that it provided for reductions on necessities and increases on luxuries, is borne out by an' analysis of the measure reported to-day. Tho Senate bill meets th* expectations of those who have been looking for genuine revision. That it Is an improvement over th«» House bill i? as serted on all sides, for in the main the rates are lower, and are so arranged that the burden of taxation win fall on those who are best able to bear it MR AIDBICH ANSWERS DEMOCRATS. Democratic Baton made their expected pro test when the bill was reported. It was well understood that they were merely making cam paign material, ,:<nd the Senate leaders per mitted them to talk without Interruption. When they had finished Senator Aldrich said a few words in defence of the policy pursued by him and his Republican associates on the Finance Committee, and pointed out that if the Demo cratic programme had been followed many months would have been wasted. The protest for the minority was made by Senators Daniel. Bailey and Culberson. They directed attention to the brevity ■:' the Meeting of the Finance Committee this morning:, and said the bill had not been read and that no consideration had been given to it. They declared that they want ed the country* to know the story of the elimina tion of the minority, and . Mr. Daniel said that while it might be defended on the ground that it was a Senate custom, he wished ss observe that it was a custom more honored in the breach than in the observance. Mr. Aldrich pointed out that there would be full opportunity for con sideration •'( the bill on the fioor and that every Senator would have an opportunity to express himself fully on the subj'-ct He said the actioa of the Republicans was dictated by a desire to pass a tariff bill at th«« earliest "possible data. and that the majority party was willing to ac cept full responsibility. SOME SCHEDULES I*EFT OPES. The maximum and minimum and administra tive features were not included in the report made to-day, but will be submitted later. The committee has not decided on the rates it will recommend in regard to coal, hides, petroleum, steel rails and wood pulp ami the articles de pendent on it. The committee is seeking fur ther information respecting some of these arti cles, and in regard to others it is desired that the wishes of the Senate shall be ascertained be fore a report is made. THE QUESTION OF REVENUES. The rates in the Senate bill are lower than those in the Payne bill, the actual number of reductions being about three times the number of increase:?. The great mass of rates are be low those in the Dins;!- act. Th- provision of the Payne bill for an Inheritance tax is stricken out, as the committee, after much study and many consultations with the officers of th« Treasury Department, saw its way clear to pro vide for the raising of adequate revenue with out the imposition of a* »pa : tax. The ques tion of revenue has been prominent in every phase of the making of the new tariff law, and no feature of the bill has received closer study from Mr. Aldrich than this. The Rhode Island Senator will be prepared on Thursday to giva the Senate accurate information as to the amount that will be realized in customs receipts under the new duties. It" he can demonstrate, as he thinks he can. that the customs receipts under his proposed tariff revision measure will meet all ordinary governmental expenditures, It is believed that little time will be devoted to amendments offered on the floor for an income tax, an inheritance tax, a tax on dividends and similar propositions. The most disappointed men in Washington are thorn who have been here for many we«?ka in the interest of a high tariff on lumber. Many Democratic Senators had assured them that they would stand firm for the retention of ths $"J rate on lumber. The lumbermen believed that the Finance Committee would recommend this rate, that it would be approved by the Sea ate and that the conference committee -voulel not make .i reduction below $130. The, Senate bill provides for the same rate on lumber a* that carried in the House bill, namely $1 a thou sand feet. There will be a determined tight on Hie floor to raise this to $'J. with the Southern and Pacific Coast Senators lighting shoulder to shoulder. CUTS ON GLOVES AND HOSIERY. The action of the Finance Committee in strik ing out the increases on hosiery and worm-n's gloves carried in the Payne bill and restoring the Dingiey rates meets general commendation. Much of the popular opposition to the Payne bill arose from the fact that It provided for marked increases of duties on these feminine necessities. In the House the advocates of "the free, breakfast table" won a signal victory when they forced a reluctant Ways and Means Committee to restore coffee and tea to the free list. Under . the leadership of the New York delegation a concession of a cent a pound on cacasi was " forced from th" committee. The original Payne bill taxed cocoa at 4 cents a pound, the rate be ins reduced to .'» cents Just before the bill passed. The Senate committee has restored cocoa to the free list, believing that an article of such general consumption should no more be made dutiable than tea or coffee. In comment ing on this action Mr. Aldrich said: "The com mittee felt that if it was necessary to increase revenue it could be done better on luxuries than on the everyday necessities of life, and have pursued this policy in the construction of this bill." From one source alone— increased tax on a luxury— it is estimated there til be an addl*
