both houses his special message of yes

the announcement that he had accepted
the seat on the Supreme Court bench
and was to be removed from all partici
pation in New York State affairs seemed
to release all the oldtime boss hatred
of "reformers" and lust for dominion. It
was the signal for an awakening of all
the sinister corporation schemers, driven
from legislative halls for three years
pretty thoroughly. For the last couple
of weeks there have been corporation
lobbyists and some of their political al
lies haunting the Capitol halls by the
score daily, and the mere fact that
Hughes was about to remove himself
from New York State seemed enough to
give renewed boldness to men in the
Legislature to aid these lobbyists in
their schemes.

two large entries— failure to pass the
Hinman-Green direct primary bill and
passage of an emasculated rcsulution for

farce.

GIFTS FOR THE LEADERS
Silver Services for Gobb and
Grady. Who Retires — Many
Measures Passed.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.]
Albany, May 27. — Working in a state of
confusion which made the ordinarily quiet
Senate chamber seem like a boiler shop,
despite the beautiful flowers on members'
desks and the handsomely gowned women
visitors, while the Assembly was . even
worse, the Legislature to-day wound up
its business for the regular session of 1910.
After that was disposed of members of
both houses devoted themselves to speech
making and leave taking.
It was the end of a Senate term, and
several of the Senators do not expect to
come back. Senator Grady, minority lead
er for year?. Is one of them. He was not
present to-day, owing to indisposition.
There were the usual speeches and mak
ing of gifts in the Senate. A handsome
silver vase was given to Lieutenant Gov
ernor. White, with a -speech by Senator
Bracken expressing the affection and es
teem of every member of the Senate. The
Lieutenant Governor replied in a- -neat
speech, declaring his regard for this Sen
ate and his belief that each year had seen
the Legislature working a little nearer to
the people's will and setting the stand
ard a little higher.
To Senator Cobb. temporary president,
the Senate gave a handsome silver service.
A similar gift will be made to Senator
Grady. In the Assembly Speaker Wads
worth, taking leave of the members, said
the work of the year had been splendid
and no member need be . ashamed to go
home and face his constituents.
Speaker Wadsworth Talks.
Summarizing the important enactments
of the session, the Speaker said the Meade-
Phillips primary bill, should it be approved,
"would constitute the longest step in the
reform of our primary system and method
of nominating public officers ever taken in
this state."
Continuing, the Speaker called attention
to tfie session's achievements, which he
said included:
A complete revision of the consolidated
education law, including provisions estab
lishing courses in agriculture and domestic
sctenee throughout the school system of
the state. .
A complete revision of the consolidated
railroad iaw.
A group of bills modernizing the methods
of the controllers office and providing,
among many other impoitant features, for

Harriman and providing for a referendum

companies under the jurisdiction of the
Public Service Commission.

Bt ranee companies.
An amendment to the state constitution
providing for water storage, accompanied
by a group of Mils for the more beneficial
■ :se and occupancy of the state's fore6t
property.
Mr Friable, the minority leader, said:
The session of 1910 was noted chiefly
ft r procrastination and prodigality. For
procrastination in that the length of the
nenion was the greatest of any within the
past decade, except only that of 1^07: for
prodigality in that salaries were increased
with a lavish hand, and the total appro-
Drtations, even after the Governor shall
have used his power to veto items, will
doubtless reach a Dew high water mark.
Continuing, Mrs. Frisbie referred to the
failure to iierre on primary legislation,

amendment.

The Senate adopted Senator Wainwriglit's
motion to suspend the rules for the papsai?'?

of expenses to the primaries as well as
to elections. But it defeated the first bill
taken up. However, the Assembly passed
two of Senator Wainwright's bills sc-nt over
there yesterday. The Rules Committee re
fused to report the third bill of the series —
a very important one, providing that poll
workers should wear badges and have
their names formally posted in the polling
places. This was intended to pre- ent «-ae
payment of large sums of money for po ll
workers who do no legitimate work.

EMERSON HAD BLOOD IN EYE
Looking for Man Who Said He
Wanted Blond Stenographer.
[By TH*Rraph to The Tribune. 1
Albany, May 27.— Senator ".Tim" Emerson,
of Warrensburg. wants it distinctly under
stood that if he finds out the identity of
the dastardly miscreant who put him for
mally on record to-day as wantinc a blond
stenographer, when his preference is for
brunettes, he'll have his heart's blood, and
as he protested vehemently in open Senate
that he was serious about it, there may be
a tragedy impending.
As chairman of the Committee on Penal
Institutions, Emerson to-day introduced a
resolution for the appointment of a com
mittee to visit and inspect the penal in
stitutions of the state and report on their
condition. Despite the formal sound of
that there are some hypercritical persons
Who maintain that this was intended to
provide for a summer junket around the
state for the fortunate committee. But
that's neither here nor there. The point
is that this resolution, in cold, plain type
authorized the committee to employ "one
blond stenographer."
As it was read the Senate and a great
throng of visitors burst into roars of laugh
ter. Emerson, spluttering with rage, pro
tested that this was no joke, but an af
fair of deadly seriousness. Informally he
said he didn't care a hoot about blondes and
hadn't specified a word about the personal
attractions of the prospective stenographer,
though he himself liked brown hair and
eyes. The matter lost some of its deadly
import owing to the fact that a score of
objections were lodged against the recep
tion of the resolution, and it went into outer
darkness.

RACING BILMN DANGER
Abortive Attempt to Kill Planned:
by New York Democrats.
SENATOR AGNEW TO RESCUE
His Attention Called at Last
Moment to Plot in Time to
Frustrate It.
I By Telojrraph to The Tribune. 1
Albany, May 27.— 1n the last half hour of
the legislative session a bold though abort
ive attempt was made to kill through
trickery the Agnew-Perklns bill making
directors of racetracks liable personally
for violations of the gambling laws in
those inclosures. It was planned and car
ried through by New York City Democrats,
apparently desperate because the agree
ment to kill those bills on account of Demo
cratic votes delivered fo«- the Republican
machine's primary bill and against the di
rect primary measure had failed.
Mr. Perkins's bill, owing to the efforts of
Senator Agnew, had passed the Senate yes
terday. Just a few minutes before suspen
sion of business in the Senate to-day, while
noise and confusion rendered it difficult to
follow affairs. Senator Harte, of Queens
County, moved to reconsider the vote by
which the bill had passed and to have that
motion lie on the table.
At that time Senator Still well, of The
Bronx, was talking earnestly to Senator
Agnew, urging him to support "a local bill
on which we need your vote." He talked
fervidly. appeaHngly. all the time edging
himself between Senator Agnew and the
desk so that Agnew's view of the clerk
was cut off and his attention effectually
distracted. Meantime Senator "Crlsty"
Su'livan was working among the other Sen
ators for various local bills, helping the
general confusion.
Temporarily the scheme worked. Harte's
motion met no objection. But Agnew's at
tention was called to it, and he rose to a
parliamentary inquiry. He demanded to
know what motion had been made, and
pressed his query until the Lieutenant
Governor obtained the information from
the clerk and announced the purport of
Harte'p motion. Apnew protested that
any such motion was out of order. He de
clared his attention had been distracted
intentionally, and asked for a ruling on
whether such a motion could be made at
that time.
Lieutenant Governor White ruled that
the motion of Harte was "ineffective, " the
bill having been sent back to the Assembly
and so being out of the custody of the
Senate.
"I don't know just what the result would
have been if I hadn't pressed my inquiry,"
said Senator Agnew. "As it is, the bill is
perfectly safe, and I am told that no entry
will appear on the records of this transac
tion."
This bill is the one most feared of the
series of anti-oral bookmaking bills. The
Democrats who fought the hills, led by Sen
ator Sullivan, are furious at the discovery
of their scheme.
Three of the four bills introduced de
signed to prevent gambling at racetracks
have passed the Legislature. The Perkins
bill, making more stringent tho provisions
of the law in relation to keeping gaming
and betting establishments, went through
the Assembly to-day by a vote of 83 to 27.
The Agnew bill, prohibiting the publication
of betting odds on horse races, failed to
receive the approval of the Assembly Rules
Committee.
ALBANY TROLLEY STRIKE
Employes Go Back After Tying
Up Lines All Day.
Albany, May 27— After tying up the lines
of the United Traction Company in Albany
and Rcnsselaer practically all day and
threatening to prevent the operation of cars
in Troy a»d Cohoes, the employes of the
company, numbering between three hun
dred and four hundred, who went on
strike early to-day, returned to work to
night, when it became apparent that the
company would not yield to their demands.
The cars were running as usual to-night.
To-day was circus day and the men went
out because they objected to the company's
plan of extending the Albany terminus of
the Cohoes Railway Company, a subsidiary
line, which operates between Albany and
Rensselaer, so as to convey patrons direct
to the circus grounds without transferring
at the usual transfer point. They objected
to men of another company operating on
their division, although, both divisions ot
the employes' unions are affiliated with the
same national organization.
The strikp made it necessary to postpone
the Alb.iny-Elmlra State League baseball
game, the grounds being located north of
the city line.
HUGHES TO NAME TREADWELL
Governor's Military Secretary to Be
come Private Secretary.
Albany, May 27.— Governor Hughes said
to-day that he would appoint Colonel
George C. Tread well, his military secretary,
as his private secretary, to succeed Robert
H. Fuller, who has been named as a mem
ber of the State Water Supply Commission.
Secretary Fuller probably will remain with
the Governor for the next two weeks, as
he has fifteen days in which to qualify.
Governor Hughes regards Mr. Fuller as
being unusually well qualified to fill the
important position to which he has ap
pointed him in view of his intimate knowl
edge of the important project of water stor
age in the Adirondack?. Colonel Tread
weil'.s fidelity to duty, the Governor feels,
has earned him a promotion.
MAYOR FEARS ASSESSORS
Doesn't Want Paterson to Pay More
than Its Share for Trunk Sewer.
Paierson, X. J., May 27 (Specia).—
Mayor Mcßride announced the position of
Paterson officially in the trunk sewer to
the sea project to-day, when he paid:
"We absolutely will not go into the
proposition with no idt*a of the cost and
with the power in the hands of the com
mission to assess us for any amount its
members may desire. If the people want
a share in the trunk sewer, and this city
can go into it on a fair basis. I nm willing.
But if we are going to be assessed for an
expense Ate proportionate to our share in
the benefits, I for one will not lend my
sanction to Paterson sharing in the
scheme."
The Mayor declared he would call a
meeting of citizens to discuss the ques
tion after it had been ascertained what
action would be taken on the protest filed
by the Metropolitan Sewerage Commission.

AUTOPSY ON DICKINSON
Banker's Body Taken from
Vault by Insurance Company.
$65,000 POLICY INVOLVED
With Wife's Consent Surgeons
Begin Analysis to Fix the
Cause of Death.
"With the consent of Mrs. Charles C
Dickinson, physicians of the Casualty
Company, of America began yesterday an
examination of the stomach and other
organs of the dead banker with a view
to learning whether the $65,000 accident
insurance claim of the heirs against the
company was valid.
On Thursday Bdwia W. D fl Leon, presi
dent of the Casualty Company of Amer
ica, in which company Mr. Dickinson
held an accident policy for $65,000, ap
plied to Mrs. Dickinson for permission to
have the organs examined, by patholo
gists. Late Thursday evening Dr. Otto
H. Schultze and two other doctors, rep
rtsenting the Casualty Company of
America, together with three physicians
representing the Dickinson family and
three or four others representing other
instirance companies In which Mr. Dick
inson had held policies, made a hurried
trip to Mount Kisco Cemetery, and in a
receiving vault there, in which the body
had been temporarily placed, they re
moved the stomach, lungs and heart of
the dead man.
Dr. Schultze. who is a Coroner's phy
sician of the city, appeared as the chief
pathologist representing the accident in
surance company, and not in his official
capacity as an officer of the Coroners'
staff. Coroner Winterbottom, who haa
charge of the Dickinson case, and Cor
oner Felnberg, who was called in by the
former, both arrived at the belief that
Mr. Dickinson's death was due to pneu
monia, ■superinduced by the Inhalation of
chemical pases.
The examination of the organs, it was
said yesterday, would be conducted as
rapidly as possible and would probably
be finished to-day. The work is being
done at the Cornell Laboratory, with
which Dr. Schultze is conducted.
Mr. De Leon said last night that pa
thologlsts had been directed to make a
microscopic examination of the vital or
gans so that they could report with ab
solute finality as to the cause of Mr.
Dickinson's death.
"It is our regular course, when we have
received notice of a policyholder's death,"
said Mr. De Leon, "to ascertain exactly
and beyond question the cause of death,
and that is why the examination was or
dered. We secured permission from Mrs.
Dickinson to proceed, and three doctors
attended as representing the family.
Other accident insurance companies were
interested, not only for original policies
which they held, but also on account of
some reinsurance which we had out with
other concerns on Mr. Dickinson's risk."
The Casualty Company of America had
been informed of the death of Mr. Dick
inson by Stanley C. Dickinson, brother
of the dead man, Mr. De Leon said, and
the notification was presumed to be a
preliminary to the filing of a claim under
the policy. It was in preparation for
such a claim, if It is made, that the au
topsy was ordered.

house from the presidency, owing to Uj,
friction existing; between him and iff
Mather, who represents the bondhoMe r3
of the company. in regard to the polity
of the company, particularly as agtcts '
its financial management. Some tisjs
ago. when Mr. Westlnghouse went a«ap>
on a vacation. it was reported that thij
was a preliminary step to his retirement
and that he would never return as active
head of the corporation which bear* his
name. This report proved to be un
founded, as have others of similar injV
port, and no official confirmation has -
ever been obtained as to th* rumored
breach between Mr. Westinghnuse an<f '
Mr. Mather until the former i39ued his •
statement yesterday.
What the disagreement between ths
two men will lead to can only be cos- j
jectural, but as Mr. W»stinnhnuj*»
understood to be the largest stockholder
of the company it Is doubtful if any at
tempt by the bondholders to oust him
from the management would be success- '
ful. It is admitted, even by his fn«nd%
that Mr Westlnghouse is not a financier,
but hi* genius as an inventor makes Mag
a valuable asset to th« company. Only
recently he has perfected and patented
an automobile air spring -which win "do
away. It !s said, with th^ necessity tat
pneumatic tires on automobiles. Th«
right to manufacture thin latest inT?s

Tobacco Society was widened here to-<la7
when the latter body indorsed State Sea
