Albany.-Efforts to defeat the dras- tic control measures Introduced by tee have evidently reached their max imum intensity. 'The powerful lobby '\ which, since the introduction of the bills early in January, has contested every foot of ground gained by the proponents of the measure, is sending telegrams and letters to every mem- ber of the Senate and Assembly urg- wood committee's proposals. How successful the fight upon the: committee's programme has been will be seen when the measures aro to Senate. The opponents of the bill hope to stop them there, but in the event their opposition should crumble, they still have hopes of defeating the bills, as they look upon the Assembly as their stronghold. - The drive to stop the Lockwood bills started in earnest after It be- came known that they had been ad: vanced to third order of reading in the Senate, From Tuesday noon, con tinuing up to the present time, tele- graph instruments in Albany have been clicking off hundreds upon hun- dreds of massages sont to legislators by the individuals who make up the rank and file of the lobby opposing the measure. The guns of the oppost- tlon are particularly directed at the following bills: Givihg the State control over stock exchanges, stock brokers, and securities offered for ealo in this State. Creating a State trade commis- slon with authority to investigate commerce organizations so as to break up price-fixing combines, Granting the State Insurance Fund a monopoly on the writing of workmen's compensation insur- ance. Putting labor unions under the supervision of the State Trade Commission to prevent evils al- leged to exist in certain building trades. Tho last named measure, while based on data unearthed by the Lock wood committee, is not a committee measure but was introduced at the request of Samuel Untermyer, who was counsel to the committes. Only a Temporary Vietory In having the bills reported from committee and in securing their ad: vancement from general orders to that of final order of passage, proponents of the bills scored a strategie victory. Legislative observers are, however, of the opinion that the victory will be but a temporary one, The way they look at It is that many members may have voted to advance the bills merely so that there might be no criticism levelled at them for having partick pated in strangling them without giv- ing them a chance to come up for final consideration. It Is reported that one of the chief reasons why the bills wore released from committee was not favorable attitude towards the bills on the part of the legislative leaders but because rumors had been set in circulation that things had been ar- ranged to have the measures killed In committee. It was felt that no one could afford to have slander of that kind go unchallenged and hence the measures were reported out. Present Indications are that the stetq Insurance fund bill is sure to pass the senate. It is unsafe to pre- dict one way or another what the dis- position of the other bills may be in the upper house. It seems reasonable to say that the Stock Exchange and the state trade commission bills will meot with strong opposition and that some expert manoeuvring will have to be done {f they are to get by the sen- ate. One of the disadvantages suf- fered by tho memsures is that they lack tbat very essential thing called a party label. The Republican are not anious to have them left on their doorstep and the Democrats take the stand that the Lockwood commit- tee was not a Democratic committee and that the welfare of the bills is in no sense their \funeral as one legis- lator put It. Walker for Amendments Senator James J. Walker, president pro tem of the senate, has openly de- clared that he is not in favor of the state trade commission bill in its present form. He wants it amended so that It will include the Dairymen's League and other agricultural coop- erative associations. The Republican members from rural districts where those organizations are genérally well thought of would never comsent to such an amendment. The situation on this bill therefore promises to develop into a deadlock that may spell its defeat. With respect to the Stock Exchange bill. there is a possibility, although a remote one, that K may pass the sen- ate. 'The opponents of the bill, through the very intensity df their campaign, may defeat their 0 cause, as several members may disifke run- ning the chance of being labelled as Wall Street sympathizers by voting against the measure. The interests Oghting this message are, neverthe- less, not worried. They look to the assembly put it out of the way in the event It should escape death in the senate. Lest Stand of Wets The wets in the legislature are pre- paring for one more fight at this ses- sion to repeal the Mullan Gago en- forcement law. They began their campaign by pablishing letters from upstate cities expressing amarament that the Democratic administration appears to be sidestepping on the Uquér legislation. Assemblyman Cavilifer prepared a motion to dis charge Ble ereise committee from batidling his ESll to repeal the Mullan» Gage law. That committee defeated the HCL Smith sald be had & celred of fetters from United Mm; the receipt of New Yok sates that skits Ci gries \in rrodity the #4. \Ea ean kava al the Carder be wicke* tha goverace \I wil ne the joint legislative housing commit-. ing them to vote against the Lock-, come up for final consideration in the; - d over his bill, if by so dolnig wo can got our foot on the rail again and blow off the froth.\ \Mr. Cuvier introduced an amond- ment to the civil rights law, providing that auy officer of the state shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined $1,000 for raifling & hotel, restaurant, or dining room seeking evidence of violation of the Mullan-Gage act, un- less he has a warrant. \Plan to Cut 'Phone Rates Democratic leaders in the legisla- ture agreed on provisions they will draft into a bill for lower telephone rates in New York City by legislative mandate. This will be the Demo- cratic answor to the Public Service |Commlsslons decision under which,} it is said, New York City's telephone bill will be increased several million dollars. The bill will be drawn under Sen- ator Walker's guidance. Over the weekend\ the senator conferred in New York with city officials and others. . The proposal that the legislature Investigate the telephone companies and rates did not meet with favor in the Democratic conference ioday. Such an inquiry would take a year, it was pointed out, and then might not lead to anything. By enacting a general rate fixing measure establishing & maximum charge for telephone service in New York City the leglalature would place & powerful weapon in the hands of Governor Smith. 'The proposed re- organization of the Public Service Commission as advocated by the gov- ernor in pending measures would give to the commission to be set up in New York complete control of tele- phone compan{es and authority over all public utilities excopt tranalt, The Democrats pointed out that if the governofs program for a new commission should fall in the legis- lature the telephone rate fixing bill would be operative and give to the governor power to deal with the rate situation. If the Public Service bill \ is passed, they said, the telephone rate bill could be laid aside. Workmen's Compensation Changes Proposed amendments to the work- men's compensation law would In- crease the cost of living, representa- tives of industry predicted at a joint hearing on bills before the senate la- bor and industries and the assembly judiciary - committees. Represonta- tives of labor supported the measures, The Lacey-OD'Connor bill, designed to Increase compensation periods and to strike out certain compensation limitations, drew considerable fire, particularly from Mark Daley, who represented the associated industries. The Sheridan bills, designed to re- duce the - non-compensated | period from fourteen to seven days, were strongly supported by Bernard L. Shientag, | state | industrial | commis- sioner, 'Those opposed said the logis- lation would tend to encourage ma- lingering among wage carners. Canal Power Enterprise For completion of the state's devel opment of hydro-electric power at Vischer's ferry and Crescent dom from the surplus waters of the barge canal, an additional appropriation of $710) 900 is to be asked of the legialature. Only $2,000 remains of the $1,000, 000 appropriated by the 1922 legisla- ture for this purpose, It was sald yes- terday by Edward 8. Walsh, superin- tendent of public works. Construc tlon of the plants Is far from com- plete. Superintendent | Walsh | exprossed the hope that with the additional ap- propriation and with work being rushed, the developfent might be completed by next fall. Before any stops are taken toward granting the request for completing the work, which is Included In fhe public works department's budget re- quest, a survey of the two develop ments is to be made by Dwight B. La Du, state engineer and surveyor. After the survey has been complet: ed Governor Smith will send to the legislature || bis second waterpower message, which will deal exclusively with the situation at Vischer's Ferry and at Crescent dam. Contractors whose work on the de- velopments was held up by winter aro ready to go shead as soon sa weather permits. Tall races for both projects have been completed, the department of public works said. Coffer dams on which the foundations of the power houses will be laid have been built and some of the base castings, part of the plant's equipment, are at Wa- terford, ready when neoded.

TICE SENTENCED TO AUBURN Man Who Caused Death of Bert Sisson Pleads, Guilty to, Leuer Crime. Lewis Tice, of Port Crane, was sen- tenced to an indeterminate sentence of from cne to three years in Auburn prison by County Judge Benjamin Baker, at Binghamton, late Friday af- ternoon, following his plea of guilty that morning: of a charge of man- slaughter in the second degree for causing the death of Bert Sisson, a farmer of East Sidney, in an automo- bile recident near Harpursville last fall. Tice was given an indeterminate sentence on the ground that he has never been convicted of a felony be- fore. This will mean that with good behavior he may regain his liberty at the end of a year. He may, however, be imprisoned for three years. The mecident occurred on the state highway about one mile west of Har- pursville, when a Ford car occupied by Mr. Sisson, his daughter, Miss Ella Sisson, and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Carley, of East Sidney, was struck by a Chev- rolet touring car driven by \Tice ac- companied by Mrs. Tice.

Crute, re- presenting the Strout Farm Agency, a farm, stock and equipment near Eurn- weod, then owned hy Mr Neer, and at that time paid down $1,000, Owing to the fact that a clear title to the prop» erty could not be given' to suit the purchaser, Mrs. Platt refused to take the place.\ It is alleged that Mr. Neer later removed the cattle, hay and other things from the place.
