Che nanga County ; Middletown, Orange Coun ty ; a state Fchool of sanitary science and public health at Cornell Vniversity ; a state college of forestry at Syracuse University. ard an agricultural experiment station in Niagara County. The reason for this ac tion is givon as follows: "We have not the money to undertake the establishment of these schools. The wise policy, it seems to me, is to provide for the suitable development and comple tion of the schools that we have before we establish new and separate foundations." Waterway Measures Dead. Waterway Improvement bills not approved provided for dredging TVest Canada. Creek, Herkimer. Herkimer County: Powell Creek, in the county of Nassau, and Mill Creek «nd the Narrow? to Long Creek in certain portions of the town of Freeport. Nassau County; the construction of a dike or dikes for the protection of property adjacent to the Delaware River In the city of Port Jer vi.=, by the completion of th« work begun under a chapter of the Laws of 1904, and the acquisition of lands necessary for sticti purpose; the completion of a dike or dikes for the protection of property adjacent to the Delaware River in the town of Highland, Sullivan County; widening and deepening the channel in th« outlet of Keuka Lake from the lake to the steamboat docks in the village of Perm Van, and deepening and widening Tonawanda Creek in the towns of Batavia and Alexander. Genesee County. The Governor says in explanation of his action ; " These bills provide for various local im provements which it i? desired should be made at the expense, of the state. It does not appear, however, that there is any special state obligation in these cases." And in any event w» have not the money at this time to expend in these im provements. Apart from this. Improvements of this sort should be made pursuant to a gen eral system, so that all communities may be dealt with impartially and according to the same rule. Under the river improve ment act provision is made, in cases with m its purview, for an ascertainment of the necessity for the improvement and for the just apportionment of its cost, so that the share which may properly be borne by the localities benefited and by the state, respectively, may be determined. So far as the improvements contemplat ed in these bills are within that statute, proceedings should be taken thereunder, and if there, are other classes of cases which should be reached, there should be a suitable amendment of the general law. No. New Armories This Year. Other measures not signed provided for new state armories at Malone and Mount Vernon, repairs, improvements and better ments to the state armory In Brooklyn oc cupied by the 47th Regiment: the erection of a state armory and stable In Albany, the erection of a new armory building in New-burg, the rebuilding, alteration and improvement of the. state armory in Olean and the purchase of additional lands for the armory of the 84th Separate Company of the National Guard at Geneva. "The funds in the treasury and our esti mated income will not permit these ex penditures," the Governor adds. The bill to amend the state charities law in relation to the regulation of state chari table institutions is another one "not ap proved.** "The purpose of this act is most commendable, and were it not for the de mands upon our resources at this time I should be disposed to approve it," says Mr. Hughes. "Among other things, it provides for the appointment by the fiscal super visor of a purchasing agent, who is to be secretary of the purchasing committee; a supervisor of farms and a supervisor of foods. "It we could have a suitable co-ordina tion of the work of all our institutions, such as hospitals for the insane, charitable institutions apd prisons, through a repre sentative board, which should exercise supervision over matter? of common In terest and through which arrangement could be made for common inspection and supervision of farms, foods, supplies, etc., it would result, I believe, in great benefit to the state." Education Bill Not Approved. Another bill which fails to go on the statute books is one to amend the educa tion law relative to establishing a law library in the 2d Judicial District. Of this Governor Hughes says: •It may to very desirable that there e'iould be a library established in the 2d Judicial District, and there Is no disposi tion to criticise the intent of thoße 'who are desirous to bring this about, but it is clear that the disbursement of public moneys should not be made mandatory upon the requisition of trustees who are not suitably accountable to public au thority." A jneasure to provide for the rebuilding of a bridge across South Bay. in the coun ty of Washington, was not approved. Tills bill authorized the State Highway Commis sion to rebuild the bridge and appropriated for this purpose $75,000 out of the proceeds of moneys realized from the sale of high way improvement bonds. "If it is to be the policy of the state," says Mr. Hughes, "to construct bridges at state expense in connection with and out of funds provide^ for highway improve ment, this policy should be defined by suit able amendment of the law go that it may be impartially applicable to all cases of the same class. This bill if Eipned would prob ably have a numerous progeny of special acts Involving inequality and injustice." CHANGE IN RATES POSTPONED Trunk Lines Suspend Action in State Until August 1.

IRKING FOR COBB BILL Leaders Fear Assembly Again Will Thwart Its Passage. SPECIAL SESSION TO-NIGHT Legislators Here for Roosevelt Welcome Discuss Direct Primary Plans. Republican leaders and members of the j Legislature who were in the city to at | tend the welcome to Theodore Roosevelt found time to talk among themselves and with their city colleagues regarding the special session of the Legislature, which convenes to-night. There were widely dif fering opinions, however, as to what the session would accomplish in the way of enacting some direct primary measure. In a general way it was the opinion of most of those seen that unless some ex traordinary pressure is brought to bear or the Cobb bill is made a party meas ure by caucus in the Assembly, the latter body will thwart any attempt to r pass it. A movement Is under way to bring pome sort of special pressure on the leaders, hut how far it will succeed is problemati cal. The views of Mr. Roosevelt will be ■sought, and the result is eae^rl* awaited. It is understood that the opinion has b^en expressed by samn of th» leaders in Washington that the Republican party in this state cannot afford to show the disre gard for the Cnhb direct primary measure with which it was treated by the Assem bly at the regular session. Working for a Caucus. As for the effort? of Assemblyman Mur ray, of the 19th District, in this county, to have the Republican members of the Assembly caucus on the Cobb bill, they have not so far met with the success he had hoped. Speakine of the letters sent by him to his Republican colleagues, ask ing them if they would be willing to sign a call for such a caucus. Assemblyman Murray paid yesterday: "I have received only seventeen or eigh teen replies, ai.d most of them are non committal. Only five or six wrote that they would be willing t& sign a caucus call. The others beat around the bush, and say they want to wait until they get to Albany and see what the situation Is there. "Some of them want to know how Presi dent Griscom stands, but I have not talked to him. When I get up to Albany to-mor row night I shall open a campaign and see If T can't pet the required signatures for a caucus. I think that there is a good chance of having the Cobb bill made a party measure if we vote on it in caucus. If it is made a party measure there seems to be every chance that we can pass It. "The Governor has approved the CobH bili and the Senate baa passed it once, and will undoubtedly do so again. So it would seem to be entirely up to the Assembly. If we only get some men with backbone, I think we shall be able to have a caucus. Would Accept Cobb Bill. "Of course, I am still in favor of the Hinman-Green bill, but there seems to be little chance of passing that. But the Cobb bill is a long step in the right direction. Tf we get that on the statute books once, and elect a good Legislature under it, it ought to be comparatively easy to broaden its provisions at succeeding sessions." Senator Hendrick S. Holden. of Syracuse, who took Lieutenant Governor White's Place in the Senate, has been in the city as a member of the legislative committee to welcome Mr. Roosevelt. He does not think there Is any chance of passing a direct primary measure. He was one of the Senators who voted against the Cobb bill, and has not changed his mind. "As a matter of fact," he said, "I think what sentiment for direct primaries there was in Onondaga County has died out. It is as dead as a smelt. "Of course, the Senate will probably pass the </obb bill again. It could not stultify itself by turning it down after having passed It once. But I don't think it has any chance in the Assembly. So far as I have been able to learn, the members of the legislature will take the same in dividual stand on the bill as they did be fore." Senator Holden seemed extremely opti mistic about conditions upstate. "We are all united in Onondaga," he said, "and will give the Republican ticket the usual plurality this fall. A'e gave Gov ernor Hughes one of the biggest plurali ties in the state and would do t-o again. We shall do the same for any candidate who may be named." The Appropriation Bill. One of the most important things that will be submitted to the special session by the Governor, according to Senator Holden. will be a reconsideration of the appropri ation and supply bill. '•We appropriated more money than iue income of the state will cover by about $6,000,000," he eaid. "That, of course, is something that must be rectified." So far as could be learned, there have been no formal conferences in reglrd to the extra session in this city in the last few days, althouKh toe subject has been an important topic of conversation when ever one or two leaders have been to gether. Senator (irady. the Democratic leader, who did his best to kill direct primaries in the Senate, spent considerable time, at the Mur ray Hill Hotel, where many members of the Legislature wnere on Saturday. There were suspicions that his activity boded no good for fuch a measure when the special cession convenes. Assemblyman Bennett, who is oiie of the most ardent advocates of direct primaries, is out in Montana, and will not be in Al bany before the 27th. Tie belieies, how ever, that nothing important w*ll come to a vote before that time. SESSION MAY BE BRIEF Conjectures Vary from Ten Days to Month— Speaker on Hand. Albany. June 19.— The extraordinary ses sion of the Legislature, called by Governor Hughes to take up again the vexed ques tion of primary reform, will convene, at S:3O o'clock to-morrow night. After a three weeks' respite the legislators are coming back to wrestle with a problem which lie Governor thinks should be settled this year —that of enacting a satisfactory direct nominations bill. Governor Hughes still believes that the Hinman-Green bill should become the law of the state, but in view of the difference of opinion as to the advisability of apply ing the plan to state officers, he lias an nounced his willingness to accept the Cobb bill, which provides for the direct nomina tion of Congressmen, Senators, members of Assembly and county officers. The Cobb bill passed the Senate by a vote of U to 13 and was killed In the Assembly on the eve of adjournment. Monday night's session promises to be brief, just long enough to listen to the Governor's message. The programme thereafter has 1 yet to be arranged. Pre dictions as to the outcome are at variance, but a lively fight is certain. The thief weeks' intermission has Riven the legis lators time to sound the sentiment in their home district;, but whether there will be a shift of tho thirty votes necessary to pass a direct primary measure is one of the uncertainties of the situation. There have been all eorts of guesses as to what will happen Reports credit Presi dent Taft with having expressed the wish that a direct primary measure be enacted, and the possibility of Theodeur» Roosevelt taking a hand in the situation has excited lively speculation. Assemblyman Murray, of New York, has been sounding his Re publican colleagues as to the wisdom of holding .a caucus with a view to making the Cobb bill a party measure, as was done in the Senate at the regular session. Conjectures as to the length of the ses sion vary from ten days to a month. Legislating on hot summer days in the stuffy' Senate and Assembly chambers is not conducive to personal comfort, and re quests from legislators for excuses from attendance until such time as their votes are needed are likely to be numerous. Whether th« Governor will recommend legislation other than that having to do with primary reform is problematical. Various suggestions have been made, but the Governor has given no intimation as to what his message will contain. Only such legislation as is recommended by the Gov ernor can be considered by the Legislature at an extraordinary session. Speaker Wadsworth arrived to-day and to-night conferred with several of the As sembly leaders relative to the direct nomi natiens situation. URGES DIRECT SENATORS Frisbie Asks Governor to Sug gest Action, in Message To-day. Albany. June 19.— 1n a letter to Governor Hughes. Daniel r». Frists, minority leader of the Assembly, requests that he inclu.le in his message to the Legislature at its extraordinary session, which convenes to morrow night, a recommendation looking to action by New York favorable to the elec tion of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. "r am enrouras:°d in making this re quest." the letter reads, "by the fact that in your last campaign for the governorship yon declared yourself in favor of the direct election of United States Senators by the people." The procedure suggested by Mr. Frisbie Is the adoption of a joint legislative resolu tion petitioning rongress for the calling of a constitutional convention for the con sideration of this matter. Tho letter points out that alreAly twenty-nine states have adopted such resolutions, and that only one more in addition to New York would be necessary to accomplish this purpose. Such a resolution was introduced by Mr. Frisbie at the regular session, but failed. "The direct election of United States Sen ators," the letter recites, "is of as great, if not greater, importance to the people in their control of the election of their repre sentatives as is the direct nomination of candidates. The one logically supplements the other." FLOODS STOP A RAILROAD Cumberland Mining Section in Maryland Crippled. Cumberland, Md., June IS.— Following recent flooding rains, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is crippled between Cumberland and Connellsville, on the Pittsburg division. The Cumberland & Pennsylvania Kail road, which runs through the mining region between Cumberland and Piedmont, has abandoned trains to-day, while the P*omney branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is completely tied up, and it may be several days before trains can be run over it. All the wires are 'down between Salisburg Junction and Garrett. The Berlin branch of the Baltimore & Ohio is completely tied up by a dozen or more slides and washouts. One bridge has been washed out on the. branch. On the Somerset and Cambria branch trains were caught between slides and washouts. GREAT LOSS BY STORM Damage Placed at Hundreds of -Thousands in Pennsylvania. Washington, Pen'n.. June I?.— Following last night's severe storms that raged over the western part of the state, another broke over this section early to-day that was even more severe, and caused losses that are estimated at hundreds of thou sands. Nearly all o^ Greene County, except "Wayncsburg, and the southeastern part of Washington County are cut off from com munication, and the only reports obtain able are from farmers who are arriving here hourly. At Marianna a two story store and dwelling house was washed from its foun dation by a swollen stream and a cook stove set fire to it. Two families m the building escaped a few minutes before it floated like a blazing torch downstream. Scores of barns and other dwelling houses were washed away, while several of them burned in a like manner. The Monongahela & Washington Railroad, has been blocked by landslides. In West Bethlehem Township several large bridges have been washed away. The family of James Gallagher was driven from floor to floor by the rising water until forced to cut a hole through the roof and climb into a tree, from which Jhey were rescued by a farmer in a skiff. Around California and Daisytown, in "Washington County, twelve houses were tarried from their foundations and floated off to the Monongahela with their con tents. None of them has been found. The Mesta Coal Company estimates its damage to be about $10,000, and states that it will take two months to make repairs. At Smallwood Jotiu tsargosky escaped from his home with his wife, wading in water up to their necks and holding their children above their heads. Their home, too, was carried out to the. river. At Myersdale. in Fayette County, the wind wrecked three large barns and tore the roof from a brewery, trees were torn from their roots and carried hundreds of feet, while lightning added further dam age. Crops in all .these counties were ruined. SEARCH IN VAIN FOR FIRE Smoke in Brooklyn Municipal Building, but That's All. For an hour yesterday evening a <ouple of fire companies, the salvage corps and a squad of policemen searched the Municipal Building in Brooklyn for a fire. At 5: SO o'clock the rooms of the Street Cleaning Department, at the rear of the third floor, were seen to be filled with smoke. An alarm was sent in. The firemen broke in the door, but no flames appeared Then the firemen smashed their way into the rooms of the Water Department above, but in vain. "There's the tire^ — 'way back in the cel lar!" some one shouted. The crowd, armed with axes, patent fire extinguishers and hose, rushed be low. They came back looking much chagrined. The smolffe was only the ex hauFt of the steam boiler. After more searching all withdrew. The opinion was lhat |be smoke had tome up from the engine room through the steam pipes. ATTACKS WIFE; KILLS HIMSELF. Atlantic City. June 19.— A. W. Strause, of Pottstown, Perm., kille.l himself after at tempting tr« murder his wife in the ser vants' quarters of the Hotel Dennis to-day. The man. who had been separated from his wife, hid In her rooms, and first at tempted to slash her with a razor. The woman took the razor from him, but fled when the husband drew a pair of Bharp pointed shears and tried to stab her. Btrause then swallowed the contents of a vial of carbolic arid, and die J a few min utes after being taken to the City. Hos pital. : -; ; -^'; STORM'S FATALITIES MOUNT TO SEVENTEEN Woman Hit by Broken Pole in Circus Tent During Gale Dies from Injury. THREE DROWN YESTERDAY Terrific Gale Followed on Sun day by Hottest Weather of Year — Thermometer Touches 87. The aftermath of Saturday's wind and | rain storm, which was one of the most violent New York has known In years, showed that the total number of deaths caused by the cyclone had risen to seventeen, or three more than were re ported yesterday. 'it is believed that several more per sons, in addition to those of whom a record has been obtained, either were drowned or carried out to sea in the gale. Many' small f boats have been found all along the beach front, from Sea Gate to th« Rockaways, either to tally wrecked or so badly damaged that | they must have been abandoned by their I occupants before they were cast up on the beach. % Brilliant weather yesterday succeeded the violent atmospheric disturbance that was responsible for so much damage both to life and property on Saturday. Indeed, the temperature, climbing up to 87 degrees, the highest yet of the year, j made the day even more remarkable af ter the storm. Three Drownings Yesterday. Many people thus were tempted to go in bathing at the ocean resorts and In the rivers, and, as a result, the water claimed three victims. One of these deaths occurred in West Orange, one at Coney Island and a third at Clinton street. Brooklyn. Many res cues from drowning were reported from all over the city and suburbs, and the lifesavers had a hard time at the opening of the summer bathing season. One of the victims of the storm, who was reported badly injured when a pole at the circus, at Manhattan Field] fractured her skull, died yesterday in the J. Hood Wright Hospital, where she was removed immediately after the accident. Her name was Mrs. Florence Pratt, of No. 824 St. Nicholas avenue, and she was at the circus with her husband when she met with the accident. Fata! Fishing Trip. It was learned last night that another man was drowned in Jamaica Bay in Saturday's storm. The man, whose body has not yet been recovered, was James H. Barber, an insurance broker head of the Jatnes W. Barber Insurance Com pany, of No. 1 Liberty street, Manhat tan. Mr. Barber lived in a summer cot tage at No. 1081 East 17th street. Flat bush, with his mother. On Saturday afternoon ' Barber, with Warren Conk, of No. 693 Franklin ave nue, Brooklyn; George Seidel, of No. 151 West 101 st street, Manhattan; John [ Ryan, of No. 221 Spencer street, Brook lyn, and Morgan T. Brewster, a negro chauffeur in the employ, of Barber, set | out from Sheepshead Bay for a fishing excursion. As they were about to start they met Lewis Tangruza, oTj No. 171 Wallabout street, Brooklyn, who" joined the party. The five men sailed in the direction of Rockaway Point, and when they had reached a point midway between Bar ren Island and Rockaway Point they dropped their anchor. It was a little after 3 o'clock, according to Tangruza, when they noticed the approach of the storm. The surface of the water took on a yellowish tinge and was frequently rippled by little white capped waves. At the same time they noticed that dense clouds were rolling in from the ocean, obscuring the sun and throwing every thing into almost total darkness. The five men immediately started in to pull up their anchor, hoping to be able to run before the gale. Even as they tugged on the anchor rope with all their strength the gale struck them. The bay was whipped into a furiou3 sea in a minute, and the boat was in imminent danger of being swamped. The anchor was finally pulled in, and all lay fiat on the deck, with one man holding the tiller and trying to guide the frail craft , through the blinding rain to a point of safety. The waves continually leaped over the boat, and suddenly she gave a great lurch downward in the trough of the sea and. then turned completely over. Every man. on board was thrown- into the wa ter, but Brewster. the negro- chauffeur, managed to twine his legs about the mast and then grabbed Ryan and Sei del. preventing them from being swept away by the rollers. Barber and Tan gruza were swept clear of the boat, and the latter managed to grasp a life pre server which floated on the water and thus saved himself from drowning. Barber, who was wearing a heavy oil skin suit, was practically helpless and was carried away. He cried for help, and Brewster yelled to him to hold out until he could reach his side. Barber, however, never had a chance, handi capped as he was, and disappeared be neath the surface. Tangruza was rescued by John Morri son, of Rockaway Point, after he had drifted oft*. Point Breeze. Ryan, Seidel and Brewster still < lung to the mast of the capsized boat, and were finally res cued by the Volunteer Life Saving Corps on Plum Island. All the men were ex hausted by their experience and were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital, in Far Rockaway. Drowns in the Bay. In direct contrast to the storm of Sat urday, when the temperature fell 20 de gress within as many minutes, yes- j terday was a "sweltering day, the dense humidity and high temperature causing much misery and suffering. Starting in soon after midnight, when I the thermometer registered 03 degrees, the mercury soon reached 70 degrees, at 8 o'clock. From then on the heat and humidity continued to increase, until at 4 o'clock' in the afternoon the top point of 87 degrees was registered. At the same time the humidity registered 65 | degrees, the combination proving a most disagreeable one for those who were j forced to I.e. on the move throughout j the day.
