Van Tuyl, Jr., of Albany, as hi s choice of such a man. The senate finance committee met and adjourned, failing t o take action upon the nomina tion in question. What Rumor Says. A hundred rumors thereupon sprang t o life. It was pointed out that the confirmation nf Mr. Van Tuyl would mean that an official would be created without obligation to either the Re- publican or Democratic party and who. thus fearless o f the heavy hand \of restraint, would take up too ardu- ously his duties and perhaps insist and investigations -whic h i ^10 good for either side.

But the Democratic organization wants purely organization men for office, and rum- blings from the antbrooms and corri- dors o f the state cipitol upon being translated by the astute interpreter suggests antagonism' to Governor Dix unless he favors organization i n this matter. Appropriation Bill s Reported. A glance at the progress of the present session shows that, as has been the condition for several weeks past, the really important steps to - ward the end o f the lawmaking jour- ney have not been taken. Not until last week did the assembly ways and means committee disgorge its bill s carrying appropriations. Such bills are now on the calendar o f the lower bouse and are likely to be passed within the next fortnight, though ob- jections t o nearly al l o f them wil l un- doubted! \- b e raised by the Republic- ans. Among these bill s the following are numbered: Appropriating $100,00 0 fo r the Palisades park and $50,00 0 ad- ditional for interest o n the bonds is - sued t o raise the money for the wOTjk | of improvement there, appropriating\ I Sob.00 0 for a building t o replace the !

PROPOSED LAW CALAMITY. Assembly Confronted With Bi g Bond- ing Plans For Canals, Water Storage and New Capitol, Each Strohgly . Backed—Measures Up to Make the Bronx a County and to Divide Erie. Albany, May 9.—Rarely, indeed, does a justice o f the supreme court, and especially a presiding justice o f an ap- pellate division, come out publicly in opposition to a measure before the state legislature. However, this has happened in the present session. Pre- siding .Justice Peter B. McLennan of the appellate division, fourth depart- ment, has made public opposition t o the bill o f Senator Loomis which pur- poses, in effect , t o legislate out of of- fice the state court o f claims as at present constituted. Justice McLen- nan's protest is in the form of a letter to Attorney General Carmody, who shares his opinion, that it would be a mistake, a calamity, to disturb the court of claims at the present trine . Justice McLennan's Letter. M y Dear M r rarmody - M y attention has been called to a bill Hit ri'diic' d b\ - Sen.nor Loomis of Krie county whic h as- sumes to legislat e ou t of ofti-'e th e sreal cour t of claims of oil- stale.

No one who has not a knowl- edge of the working of the court can a t all comprehend the magnitude and im- portance of this aspect of the subject This seems t o me t o entirely escape those who would reorganize the court ar- bitrarily. It would utterly break down the business of the court at the present time and swamp the attorney general's office with unfinishe d business, which woul d most seriousl y hamper a new tri - bunal. All these observations are in addition t o the logica l suggestions contained in your letter . I n the confuse d desire fo r fame , economy, etc. , which seems more powerful i n some quarters than common sense , these reasons perhaps will no t re - ceiv e their due weight. Tou already know what my views are, and I shal l do all in my power , if there is anything In my power that can be done , t o prevent such drastic and ill advise d and revolutionary proceeding . I t may wel l be that experience might suggest another tribunal t o pass upo n the question of da-mage s o r some more ex - peditiou s way of dealing with the many little questions that now take up the at- tentio n of the court . This is a matter of detai l and doe s no t justif y reorganizing the court itself. Always glad t o hear fro m you . and it is a great pleasure t o hear yo u express yoursel f s o strongly upo n this proposition . I t is a matter upo n which the judges In particular shoul d b e heard . The old adage \FooT s enter where angels fear t o tread\ is finding many instances of its applica - tion at th e present time . With bes t per - sona l regards, I am very truly yours, THOMAS CARMODY. Albany , Feb. 25. \A Serious Calamity.\ Justice McLennan acknowledged the attorney general's reply i n this letter: My Dear Attorney General—Your lette r of Feb. 25 is received . I am greatly- please d because of the attitude which yo u take in respec t to the Loomis bill, which I has for its purpose th e legislatin g ou t of office of the court of claims.

The measure in ipiestion carries ou t tile recommendations of the gmernor. A liili of inn-rest whicli has just been presented is that of Senator T . I). • Sullivan, which changes the hours dur- ing which lnpior traffi c may no t be car- rie d o n on days other than Sunday. The proposition prescribes that in cities of ihe third class and in villages of over O.IKXI inhabitants the hours shall be from 1 a m t o t\ a. m. . instead o f from midnight t o 6 a. m.: in smaller villages and outside the corporate limits of cities and villages the hours are t o b e from 12 midnight to 0 a . nx, instead of from 11 p. m. to (1 a. m . The bill prescribes that a hotel, as recognized under the law. must eon- tain, at leas t fifty rooms in cities of the first and second class, while in cities of the third class and in incor- porated villages having a population of uiore than r.,nf)0 inhabitants there must b e accommodations for at least twent} - - rtve guests. Other provisions are in- cluded in the bill relative t o restaurant and kitchen -space , which if provided wil i permit the sale o f liquor at any hour In such restaurants. A bill t o investigate the United States, the American, the Adams and the Wells Fargo express companies has been presented by Assemblyman Cuvlllier, while Assemblyman A . J. Levy has come forward again with his measure of las t year providing for th^ furnishing to subscribers of tele- phone companies by such companies of an accurate lis t as t o calls and the time consumed by such calls as the result o f the installation o f a mechan- ica l device which will permit no mis- take. Assemblyman l^ev y contends that little satisfaction is now obtained from telephone companies in the event o f a dispute arising as to the time o f or the number of such calls. New Military Law. Of the important bills which have been signed by Governor Dix recently that which reduces from five to three years the term o f enlistment o f mem- bers of the national guard is num- bered. The measure places the term o f enlistment I n the militia and the regular army upon the same basis. The presentation o f a silver loving cup to Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt, leader o f the insurgent forces which successfully defeated the- election o f William V. Sheehan to the. United States senate from this state, by his brother insurgents is looked upon as significant by many politicians. The fact that approval o f the efficienc y o f his leadership was thus manifested .by his associates Is believed by many to indicate that the little band of inde- pendent Democrats intend to stick to- geth - and oppose certain legislation' whh the regulars have believed safe from their aninfosfty.

This is opposed very strongly by Tammany leaders, as, i f it goes through, the Wig- wam wil l be confined to the borough of Manhattan and may lose control of the next Democratic city convention in .New York. The other bill seeks to divide Erie county by making Erie county can slst o f nineteen o f the towns now com prised i n the county to be called \Erie.\ The city o f Buffalo and the towns of Lancaster, Grand island and Amherst and the city o f Lacka- wanna, al l Democratic strongholds, are to be placed together to make up the new county o f \Buffalo.\ For- mer Democratic State Chairman Wil- liam James Conners opposes this, as he fancies his control in either county would be reduced to an irreducible minimum. However, County Chair- man Fitzpatrick, who i s Charles F. Murphy's sworn ally, wants the two counties, and I t i s understood that both Governor Dix and Mr. Murphy have promised that \what Fitz wants is to go through.\ headache, nervousness, impaired eye- sight, and all o f the ills resulting from the impaired action of your kid- neys and bladder.

Hedges and Weeds. On some public roads the hedges and the weeds give them the appearance o f » wilderness. It causes them to hold the moisture after a rain and keeps the roads soft and muddy. The weeds prevent the use of any part oif the road except the beaten path in the cen- ter o f the lanes, and that wears deep holes 'and mtsi in the track. If the highways were graded and the drag applied after every rain It would do away with the weeds and make a good, wide, free roadway. 3ut the hedges must be kept down'to se- cure the Best results.
