Sptrial Dtopatch to Tin Ntow Toms Hbsaid Keir York Herald Bnrpan, ) Albany, Marrh 14. J The Democratic program In tho Legis lature was killed this afternoon when the Republican majority In the Senate in a two hour conference decided to hold In committee practically all the Im portant measures on which Senator James J. Walloer, minority leader, had | filed notices of discharge. More than a dozen Important measures never will t see daylight. I While the Republicans backed up Sen ator Lusk on practically all ths Demo cratic proposals they were not a unit on the big bills. No decision was reached on the home rul? amendment giving to cities the right to run their own affairs and the Anderson "triplst" bills enforcing pro hibition by permitting localities to enact supplementary ordinances. Senator Walker has a home rule reso lution before the 8enate which is about the same as the Tolbert resolution. The subject was left open for further dis cussion and aa effort will be made to come to an agreement. The cohference decided by unanimous vote to support the Davenport Maternity and Infancy billl to increase the appro-' prlatlon for the care of maternity cases from $100,000 to $160,000. This Is the State substitute for the Sheppard-Towner Federal Maternity act. The important measures the confer ence decided to kill include three water power bills requiring the State to de velop hydro-electric resources, the State minimum wage plan, establishing a de partment of transportation for New York, abolishing the Farm and Markets Council, shortening the hours of work for women and children In Industry, re storing direct primaries, regulating memberships In State committee, re quiring filing information regarding cam paign funds, reapportioning Senatorial districts and establishing an executive budget system. Senator Tolbert called ro his original home rule constitutional amendment, but because of the large number of amendments many Senators wlthMeld approval. It is now uncertain whether the proposal for cohstitutlonal amend ment or the bill creating a commission to further study tho whole question will be adopted. Apiong the amendments is one meeting the objections of New York officials expressed at the conference with the Corporation Counsel recently. ?MOVIE' BILL PASSES ASSEMBLY, 84 TO 50 Measure Regulating Private Banking Also Goes Through. Special Dispatch to Tun N*w Tonic Herald. New York Herald Bureau, ) Albany, March 14. | State regulation of the business of transmitting money to foreign countries by private banker:*, express companies and others if provided In a bill which parsed the Assembly this afternoon by a vote of 91 to 43. It wa? introduced by Assemblyman Dieksteln, who said mil lions of dollars arc stolen from foreign born persons who send money to rela tives in Europe, and that there is no way to convict the embezzlers. The Ivusk movie bill, which was bit terly opposed by the motion picture in terests, passed by a vote of 84 to 50. It enlarges the force of the State Motion Picture Censorship Commdssion and ex tends its powers so that it can examine the books of all film companies. Other bills passed by the Assembly re quire the closing of barber shops In New York and Saratoga on Sundays the same as in the rest of the State; permit sav ings banks and trust companies to in vest in Federal farm loan bonds ; make It a felony Instead of a misdemeanor to sell habit forming drugs; prohibit the sale of all gambling devices, including "put and take" tops; relieve the Staite of any cost In the search and seizure of liquors and create the position of six military Instruftors in the New York city Police Department at salaries of not lens than $3,300 each. KATUN BLUE SKY BILL ADVANCED IN SENATE Anti-Bucketing Measure Like ly to Die in Assembly. Special Ditpatch to Tub Nbw To*k Sew York Herald Bureau, ) Albany, March 14. | Financial lobbies watching legislation dealing with the regulation of Wall street and bucket shop brokers were astonished to-day when the Katlln bill was advanced out of general orders without opposition and placed on th< calendar for Anal passage. Only one vote was required to hold the bill in general orders. Tho hill is now well on tho way to final passage in the Senate. Senator Katlln said he bad positive assurance the measure would be passed. If it gets through the Senate It will go to the Assembly Rules Committee, where there Is great danger of Its death. There Is little chance for the bill In th? Assembly, as Its leaders believe strict enforcement of the Martin law, for which the Legislature has appropriated 110,000, la the practicable way of driv ing out the bucket shops. CHIROPRACTIC INQUIRY TO ROOT OUT FAKERS Hearings Start Next Wednes day Before McGeehan. A John Doe inquiry into alleged "fake" schools of chiropractic will be begun before City Magistrate MoOeehan In the Criminal Courts Nwlldlriff next Wednesday. Jamen J.

SAMUEL UNTERMYER COUNTS ON AID OF THE GOVERNOR Continued from First Page. fram* amendments to these acta, thus delaying the procedure and making: it uncertain whether they can be acted upon before th?? close of the session. The support Gov. Miller has given to the Lockwood legislation leads Mr. Un termyer to believe, however, that In the event of these hills facing certain defeat through lack of time the Governor will i.^.'ue an emergency message which will bring them before the Legislature at this session. Supporters of the Lockwood measures have prevailed upon Mr. Untermyer to return to Albany, and he saia. after Communicating with Albany, that he may leave for the capital to-day. "I do not believe for a moment that our program of necessary constructive legislation is or will be defeated," Mr. Untermyer said. "I believe on the con trary that In the end It will win If the bills, especially in the Assembly, can be got into the spotlight of public dis cussion. If any of the Important ones are beaten It will be because of the work of the 'invisible government' In the form of a third house." Replying to the published statement of President Crosby of the Fire, Marine nnd Liability Brokers' Association, Mr. Untermyer stated that "the methods of insurance companies are the most bane ful, dangerous and corrupting influence in the public life of the country, (but the brokers, whose business methods I have never criticised, are in no way responsi ble for the Influence of this glgantio lobby." Failure of the State Trade Commis sion, Mr. Untermyer pointed out, would leave th? State bereft of any kind of machinery through which Illegal com binations can be suppressed. "On looking over the ,bill on Sunday," said Mr. TJntermyer, "I found an amaz ing: change in the provision*, a 'Joker' under which an insurer or class of in surers would bo practically denied all relief. The 'bill as chunged limited the jurisdiction of the Supcrlntedent of In surance to review rates to cases in which the 'aggregate underwriting profit for a period of not lc#a than five yeara' would have to 'be shown to be excessive before nny particular clasa of Industry could get relief, no matter how grossly excessive th<- rate might be on that dasa. The t fleet of that change was to absolutely nullify the whole bill. It would not be enough to prove that the companies were levying extortionate tribute on that Industry. They wouM have to go further and show that the 'aggregate underwriting profit' on the entire fire insurance business of the country was excessive. "The other 'Joker" excluded trom reg ulation fidelity, surety, steam boiler and other lines of Insurance, although they, too, make their rates !n combination, that the publlo Is hound to pay." Discussing ths bill giving the com panies the right to Invest 10 per cent, of their assets In the construction of apartments. Thomas A. Buckner of the New York LJfe Insurance Company yes terday said c | "Our company does not want to ap pear In the light of opposing a permis sive bill, tout we don't think the 10 per I cent measure la a good thing. It Is not a wise way to dispose of our policy | holders' funds, and may lead to grave | errors." Walter M. Stabler, controller of the [ Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, i said tho company would wait until the | bills are passed or defeated In the Legls [ lature before commenting.

John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Church, issued a statement yesterday In which he asked why all the hue and cry Is raised about pulpit sensationalism. HU letter Is addressed to "discriminating New Yorkers." "Is It a crime for a preacher to be a sensationalist 7" he demands. "If so then Amos and Elijah and Daniel and Paul and PeteV and John the Baptist and Chrysostom and Huss and Savona rola and Luther and Knox?yen and even the divine Son of God Himself would have been convicted aa criminals in their day. "Surprised comment is made In certain sensitive quarters when anything out of the ordinary occurs In a church. If the dull dead routine is broken by a blast of real truth some timid souls are ready to flee to cover and hold up their hands In holy horror. "But they have forgotten the stirring precedent the past. There has never beon such a scone of disorder 1q any New Tork church as that which must have occurred In the temple of Ood when Jesus Christ himself took a whip of small cords In his hand and lashed the moneychangers from tho temple and turned over their tables right and left. "When we have reached thtf pass whero messengers cannot step from a newspaper office Into an automobile waiting directly"^ in front of the door without being robbed of thousands of dollars; when peaceful merchants on every side are being murdered In their own shops," he says, cataloguing crimes of the day. "Surely under these circumstances, tho voice of real preachers should be heard In the land calling the people away from these follies and back to the serene height of God's holy truth. These things demand surgery and not soothing syrup." Let Fatima smokers tell you FATIMA CIGARETTES TWENTY Jo ?23' AI way? highir im fiHtt tthtr Turkish Blend HgartHts *?*? Just taste the difference?

Rose made him the proposal of organizing a firm to take care of Rosei s "cross" trades. Rose, he said, was to furnish the office, put up $15,000 capital and allow Wilson a drawing account against a percentage of the profits. Immediately after he turned down the proposition. Wilson continued. Calmer ft Co. was organized with a Miss Ma nasse, who was connected with Rose s office, as a partner in Palmer & Co.

Wataon explained that nearly all Southern speculators bought when the market was high, and that, therefore they uauully got wiped out.

Even when the irritation affects the gums only, or the teeth are slightly sensi tive, you have a most uncomfortable mouth, which in turn gives your face a haggard, worried expression.

Take better personal care of your mouth by brushing your gums and teeth with a dentifrice which not only removes the film from the teeth but renders powerless and eliminates hundreds of millions of enamel-destroying bacteria. Teeth and gums cannot possibly remain healthy in the incubating temperature of a mouth in which particles of starchy food are permitted to ferment and feed the multiplying bacteria.
