? ^Demoralized Assembly'
?uvillier Called "Verbose
< ? Nuisance"' in Summary of
* ; Records of .Now York Men
J ; The C:ti_ens Union committee on
* . legislation made public yesterday sum
? maries of the personal records of the
I! New York and Bronx County Assem
i biyrnrn for the session of 1920. In
' j commenting on the work of 'ho city
' : legislators in the recent session, and
? ? in reitard to the session in general and
?, its effect on the record of the indi?
vidual members, the report of the com
?J j mittee said:
4 ? "Without doubt the Socialist ouster
? -
?? ? proceedings were responsible for much
r . of the slackness and carelessness
? ' which characterized the entire session.
J The wasted time and effort disclosed in
j ' the passing of an unprecedented num
? ber of duplicate bills can be laid to
i i this cause. Bills were passed which
c . amended a law one day and changed it
.. ' or repealed it the next.
!? ' "Attention to the ordinary details of
* legislation was lamentably lacking.
: ? Even the expulsion of the Socialists did
? not relieve the situation to any great
J ' extent, and a considerable part of the
?' . time of the Legislature thereafter was
concerned either with catching up or
with considering the remedial legisla?
tion, so called, which was the aftermath
?JE the trial.
:, "Legislative Morale Lowered"
?."Such a situation made it difficult
Tor even the most experienced legis
\ jators to accomplish satisfactory re
-Milts. Nerves wert- on edge; Con?
sciences pricked. There was a general
lowering of legislative morale. Com
thittees neglected ?heir work; members
'?shirked rollcalls. Disappointment and
? disgust ran neck and neck. Voting
?*ecords suffered. The overemphasis on
'.certain headline measures induced in
?particular neglect of a proper degree
.of care in regard to important but lese

interesting local bills. Seldom in re?
cent years has such a picture of de?
moralization been seen at Albany."
The committee declared that a great
deal of time was wasted by the legis?
lators in passing certain legislation
for the sole purpose of "putting some
one in the hole." The two individuals
against whom most of these attacks
were levelled were Governor Smith and
Mayor Hylan, the report said. The re?
port recommended a revision of the
rules of the legislative procedure.

Great Alien Exodus Shown
Figures just compiled by the immi?
gration officials at Ellis Island show
that ?{34,254 aliens have left this coun?
try through the Port of New York in
the year ending June 30. The number
of incoming aliens in the same period
was 314,4(1?. There were thus 19,786
more outgoing than incoming aliens
during the year. Immigration officials,
however, declare that these figures do |
not justify the conclusion that they
portend a curtailment of the national
labor supply.
They do not believe that the number
of outgoing aliens was excessive, nor
even normal. They point out that the
yearly exodus of aliens before the war
was from 350,000 to 500,000, while the
inflow amounted to nearly 1,000,000 a
year.

Man Shot to Death
In Speeding Auto as
He Celebrates 4th
One of Five in Machine
Fires Revolver in Air, Po?
liceman Orders Halt and
Fatal Bullet Is Discharged
Five men in an automobile sped
down Eleventh Avenue yesterday after?
noon. The passengers were celebrat?
ing the Fourth with a certain hilarity
which did not attract the particular
attention of Patrolman John Wisse!,
who stood at Forty-sixth Street and
watched it, until one of the celebrants
fired a revolver into the air. Then
Wissel ran into the street in front of
the machine and with his own revolver
drawn ordered the driver to halt.
There was a little scuffle among the
passengers in the rear seat, and then,
suddenly, another revolver shot.
Charles Tucker, twenty-two, of 527
West Forty-sixth Street, toppled over
slowly on his side, his lips drawn into
a queer, amazed smile.
Heart Pierced by Ballet
"My God! What have you done?"
Tucker said thickly, and died. The
vagrant bullet had pierced his heart.
The car, with its living and dead
cargo, was driven to the West Forty
seventh Street police station, where
Dr. Frank Siegel, of Bellevue Hospital,
a fcw minutes later declared that
Tucker had died Instantly. The four
survivors, Frank Rucichiano, nineteen,
of ?42 West Forty-fifth Street, who drove
the car; John Cacadonia, twenty-two, of
500 West Forty-fifth Street; Cornelius
Egan, twenty-six, of 502 Wast Thirty
ninth Street, and Charles Gleason,
twenty-four, of 447 West Forty
sixth Street, were held at the
police station. Egan and Gleason
are charged with homicide and viola?
tion of the Sullivan law; the other i
two with grand larceny. The police I
charge that the car was "borrowed"j
without the consent of its owner.
Wissel did not see which member of
the party fired the shot that killed
Tucker. He said that he believed the
weapon was accidentally discharged as
one of the men attempted to throw it
away when the patrolman approached.
While at the police station, the police
say, Egan passed to Gleason a box of
twenty .23 caliber cartridge, which ?
Gleason dropped into a hanoy cuspidor.
Thereafter both men denied ownership :
of the revolver. According to the po- i
lice the pair had been drinking.
The dead man, the police say, was 1
out on $2,500 bail on a grand jury in?
dictment on the charge of having held
up a Standard Oil Company cashier at
612 West Forty-sixth Street.
