PRESENT BODY DEADLOCKED Executive Decides to Call a Special Election té Fill the Vacancy Caused by the Death of State Senator Fran- chot, a Republican. Albany, N. Y., April 10.—Governor Hughes has decided to call a special election May 12 for the election of a Buccessor to the late Senator Fran- chot. The governor believes that the new apportionment act of last year does not preclude him from calling suoh an election, as the Forty-seventh district was not changed. There was also an authoritative in- timation from the executive chamber that, “if necessary, and it will prob- ably be necessary,” an extra session of the legislature will be called by the governor to begin May 11. The legislature has set April 23 as the date for final adjournment. It was suggested to the governor that certain opponents of the race- track legislation had stated that in the event of an extra session being called a recess would be taken until the end of the year. The governor smiled, but refused to discuss the matter. RENEWS RECOMMENDATION Hughes Replies to Defeat of Anti- Gambling Bills. < Albany, N. Y., April 10.—Following the failure of the senate to pass the anti-racetrack gambling bills Gov- ernor Hughes sent to the legislature a message renewing his recommenda- tion for the enactment of this legisla- tion and asking for the enactment of eight other propositions now pending before the legislature. The recom- mendations include: The passage of appropriate legisla- tion to prevent -the present so-called discrimination of the Percy-Gray law, which practically legalizes gambling on racetracks. Legislation to effect a reform in banking methods. Direct primary nominating elec- tions. Legislation which will place tele- phone and telegraph companies under the jurisdiction of the public service commission. . The passage of bills which will fa- cilitate the construction of subways in New York city. The governor also urges investiga- tion by commission of, first, Wall street speculation; second, the ques- tion of immigration; third, the ques- tion of the unemployed in this state, and, fourth, the relation of the inferior courts to certain criminal procedure. Relative to the Hart-Agnew billy the governor in his message says: Abolish Racetrack Gambling. “I again urge you to enact appro- priate legislation to abolish the exist- ing discriminations in favor of race- track gambling. “The failure of the upper branch of your honorable body to pass the meas- ures designed to effect this purpose, after their passage in the lower branch, cannot be regarded as dis- posing of the matter. The constitu- tion, with its peremptory mandate, still stands. “The evil of racetrack gambling flourishes not in spite of {he law, but because of the law. Legislation pre- tending to carry out the constitutional provisfon in effect nullifies it. You are not asked to accomplish the im- possible or to write upon the statute books a visionary scheme of moral reform. You are asked to rid our law of a viclous discrimination whereby offenses equally -condemned by the constitution are punished as crimes if committed in one place and are en- couraged by the absence of suitable penalty if committed in another place.” Governor Hughes recommends the creation of a commission, the mem- bers of which shall give their serv- ices without pay, to inquire into “the facts relating to speculation in securi- ties and commodities, with the view to ascertaining the manner in which illegitimate transactions may be pre- vented and legitimate business safe- guarded.” TWO DISTRICTS VERY CLOSE Taft May Be Represented in Wiscon- sin Delegation. 4 Milwaukee, April 10.—Special dis- patches to Milwaukee afternoon pa- pers indicate the election of Walter Alexander of Wausau as a Taft dele- gate to the Republican national con- vention. It is said that the race for the second delegate in the Tenth is so close that an official count will be necessary. In the Eighth district George M. Paine, a Taft supporter, is running a nose to nose race with Morrison, a La Follette man. At La Follette headquaiters in Mad- ison a solid delegatlon is claimed for the Wisconsin senator. Grover Cleveland Again Il Lakewood, N. J., April 10.—Mrs. Grover Cleveland, when asked con- cerning a report that Mr. Cleveland was seriously ill, said: “Mr. -Cleve- land has been ill during the last week, but is much better this week and hopes in a few days to be quite him- sOIf.” NO RELIEF IN SHERMAN LAW Thirty Million " 8uit Against Sugar Trust Dismissed. New York, April 10.—Suit brought by the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company to recover penalties of $30,- 000,000 from the American Sugar Re- fining company for alleged conspiracy to ruin the Pennsylvania company was dismissed by Judge Holt in the United States circuit court. The Penn- sylvania company was formerly con- trolled by Frank K. Hipple of Phila- hiS Dusiness veniures ended unsuc- cessfully. It is alleged that the Amer- ican Sugar Refining company secured control of the other company and then closed its plant. The action was brought under the Sherman anti-trust act. On motion by counsel for the defense Judge Holt ruled that the complainant had no remedy under this act, but stated that there should be legal redress for the minority stockholders of the Pennsyl- vania company, because the complaint indicated that the American Sugar Refining company had destroyed that corporation to further interests which Wwere greater in another direction. Permission was asked to file an amended complaint, but Judge Holt said he would deny it unless it was based on some law other than the Sherman act. ST. LOUIS BANK CLOSED. State Officials Take Charge of the Institution. St. Louis, April 10.—The Olive Street bank, having a capital of $100,000 and deposits of $350,000, has closed its doors. At the usual hour for opening the following notice was placed on the front door, signed by R. M. Cook, state bank examiner: “This bank is in the hands™of the secretary of state.” The bank was organized Dec. 1, 1902, and in 1905 it absorbed the Van- deventer bank. Secretary of State Swanger said over the telephone from Jefferson City that he had notified the bank officials four days ago that loans outstanding and insufficiently secured must be made good and after having given the institution this notice the matter was turned over to State Bank Examiner Cook. Mr. Cook, who took charge of the bank, said: “The bank officials had been unable to secure further endorsements on loans made and insufficiently secured and for the safety of the institution we thought best to take charge of the bank.” The sign in front of the door attract- ed nearly 100 persons, but several po- lice officers kept the crowd scattered and there was no undue excitement. | DENOUNCED AS INEFFICIENT Cockran Criticises Publicity Bill. " Washington, April 10.—The McCall campaign contributions publicity bill was denounced as wholly ineffective by Representative Bourke Cockran be- fore the house committee on election of the president, vice president and representatives in congress. His stric- tures provoked former United States Senator Chandler to give notice that he would reply to Mr. Cockran’s at- tack. The McCall bill is favored by the Democratic members of the commit- tee, who, failing last Tuesday to force the reporting of that bill, drew up and signed a statement to the press accusing Chairman Gaines of West Virginia of having resorted to trickery to retain the measure in the commit- tee. Mr. Cockran, in his remarks, urged the substitution of the McCall bill by a hill introduced by himself, which re- quires every contributor of campaign money to political parties to file a sworn statement of the amount with the clerk of the United States district court in the district wherein the con- tribution was made. REVELATION EXPECTED. Mormon Conference Discussing Mar riage and Divorce. Kansas City, April 10.—Marriage and divorce, a much mooted question in previous conventions, occupjed the at- tention of the general conference of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ. The church is holding its an- nual gathering at Independence, near here. It was expected that a revela- tion upon the subject would come be- fore the end of the day’s work. One of fhe acts of the convention was the completing of arrangements for build- ing a monument at Nauvoo, IIl, in honor of Joseph Smith, founder of the church, to cost several thousand dol- lars. Saints all over the world are te contribute. A report of the bishopric showed the annual expenditure for the year was $253,600. HANSBRbUGH OPERATED ON Long Confinement Necessary to In- sure Recovery. Washington, April 10. — Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota was suc- cessfully operated upon at a local hos- pital for mastoiditis. While in the West in January an abscess appeared in Senator Hansbrough’s right ear as the result of a cold. He went to a hospital at St. Paul, where he suf- fered a second abscess in his left ear, but after several weeks was able to return to Washington about the mid- dle of March, soon after which a third abscess appeared in his left ear. He has been troubled with a bony growth in his inner ears for many years and this also was removed. ‘While everything points to a success- ful recovery it is expected the sen- ator will be confined to the hospital for some time. Bourke Mccall Plea of Guilty in Rebate Case. Minneapolis, April 10.—When fed- eral court convened here W. R. Begg, general counsel for the Great North- ern, entered a plea of guilty in the rebate case against his company and Judge Page Morris imposed a fine of $3,000.

Delegated to Answer House Ques- tions Anent Paper Trust, NO DETAILS WILL BE GIVEN Understood Preliminary Steps Have Been Taken by the Government to Bring Officials of the Combine to Trial on Criminal Charges. ‘Washington, April 10.—The house resolutions introduced by Speaker Cannon, requesting information as to what steps have been taken to prose- cute the paper trust, reached Attorney General Bonaparte and weére by him referred to Mr. Purdy, assistant to the attorney general, who has been charged with the preparation of the reply to the house. It is understood MILTON D. PURDY. that this reply will show that the de- partment of justice already has taken the initial steps to bring the paper trust officials to trial on criminal charges and probably for that reason it will not, be possible to supply con- gress with much detailed information which might jeopardize the success of the prosecution. SEEKS AID FOR COUNTRYMEN Football Player at Head of “Hungry Bulgarians.” Chicago, April 10.—A football player of the University of Chicago is chief of the “hungry Bulgarians,” who marched on the city hall here. Investigation reveals that Ivan Do- seff, a graduate of the university, is the instigator of the plan to march on the city hall. Doseff, who is a Bul- garian and last year played left tackle on the Chicago football eleven, says he sent the mob to the ecity hall in order to “call public attention” to the distressing condition of his couatry- men. None of the other Bulgarians has been in the United States more than six months and in that time not one of them has had a job. Doseff says their little stock of money now is gone and {he immigrants are on the verge of starvation. After the mob’s fruitless march Doseff went to the county agent's office and begged that something be done. Assistant County Agent Victor Young promised to send a quantity of provisions and endeavor to provide otherwise for the distressed Bul- garians, who are several hundred in number. Doseff said irresponsible Bulgarjan “employment agents” and stesship ticket agents are responsible for bring- :ng the men over from the old coun- Ty. Robbery Object of Murder.
