Employers Want Help. PRICE ONE CENT. DITION BI-PARTISAN. BILL PASSED, Senator Reynolds the Only Republican Who Voted Against It, BILLOTING STO00 17 10 1 Reorganization Bill Amended Giving Policemen Right of Appeal. LEXOW INTRODUCES A NEW BILL. It Provides for Court-Martial Trials and Gives the Superintendent More Power. (8pectal to The Evening World.) ALBANY, April 16.—The Lexow Bi- Partisan Police bill was passed by the Senate this afternoon by a vote of 17 to 11. The only Republican that voted against -nhe measure was Reynolds. The Senate then took up the Reorgani- Bation bill. A vote was taken on a motion to defer 2 vote and four Republican Senators, Coggeshall, Reynolds, Robertson and Stapleton, voted with the Democrats to- force a vote on it, although Lexow was against it. A vote was then taken on Reynolds's amendment giving policemen the right ‘of appeal to the courts. Almost every Senator explained his vote and the amendment was adopted by @ vote of 16 to 15. The Republicans voting with the Demo- crats were Coggeshall, Reynolds and Robertson, Stapleton voted with his party. The bill, with the amendment, was then ordered printed and laid on the table. Lexow sent to the desk 4 supplemen- tary police bill, which empowers the Police Board to investigate charges and establishes a court composed of not less than three nor more than five officers, of the grade of sergeant, captain and inspector. It also gives the Superintend- ent increased disciplinary powers. The creation of the “drum-head" court- martial is intended to render ineffective amendment giving policemen the right of apveal by certiorari, The new Dill is the Ainsworth bill in a new form. The adoption of the amendment by the aid of three Republican Senators ‘was a surprise, and various stories con- cerning the inspiration of this bolt were in circulation. Had the Senators stood by their party the amendment would have been defeat- oe, Debate on the Bill After the passage of the Raines Ballot bill, which occupied the at- tention of the Senate all the morn- ing, Senator Lexow called up his police bis. The Bi-Partisar bill was first taken up, and Senator Cantor, tht Dem- ocratic leader, who favors a single- headed commission, immediately began to speak against the measure. He argued that the bill corrected mone of the evils and abuses which Gre alleged to exist in New York. Lexow announced, while Cantor was @peaking, that he would not talk on the bills, as he believed that there was nothing more to say about them. Lexow Moved for a Vote. At the end of Cantor's speech, Senator Lexow moved a call for a vote on Can- tor's motion to substitute the Commit- tee of Ten bill, providing for a single- headed commission. ‘The doors of the Benate were locked, and the Sergeant- Arms was sent out to find delin- quents. He found Senator Robertson, who was in one of the smoking-rooms. The Peekskill Senator was brought be- fore the bar and excused from con- tempt. Senator Btupleton, one of the original Republican kickers against the Lexow bills, took the floor in favor of the Com- mittee of Ten's bill. He repeated his de- fiance of Boss Platt, and said he was in- @ependent of the party collar on the dilis, He said nothing new or particularly in- teresting, but plainly showed that he bad not changed his mind about the bills alace his first declaration of war on them @ month ago. He declared that he had never agreed to support the Lexow bills. He was no More in favor of them at present than he was & month ago, but he realised that the Committee of Ten's bill, which he id favor, had no show, and he would be compelled to vote for the Lexow bills. He would therefore vote against subst!- tuting the Committee of Ten's bill. O'Comnur Attacks 5: Senator O'Connor attacked Stapleton for betraying his party, and predicted by inuendo that the Syracuse bolter @ontisued on isth Pegs) le THREE JURORS NOW, Five Were Seoured for MoLaugh- lin, but Two Were Challenged. Boise and Emmerich Were Not ceptabie to the Defense. The Inspector to Be Arraigned on Seagrist’s Charge of Bribery. ‘The second day of the trial of Police Inspector William W, Mclaughlin, on the charge of bribery and extortion, be- wan this morning before Justice Barrett, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, Tt may be stated that the indictment upon which he is to be tried is that which charges him with accepting » bribe of $0 from Francis W. Seagrist, Jr., on Nov, 21, 1891, . Mr. Seagrist's business is that of a dealer in second-hand building materials, and he also demolishes old buildings. The alleged bribery consisted in the Payment by Mr. Beagrist of $0 to Mc- Laugniin'’s ward man for allowing him to violate the law against obstructing the sidewalks while he was Captain of the Old Slip station, Seagrist also charges that McLaughlin demanded the money. Promptly at 10.80 Justice Barrett took his seat upon the bench, and the solitary luror at the same time was escorted to i@ seat by Capt. Pickett, the court officer He had lodged at the Broadway Central Hotel overnight at the city's nee, he first talesman called this morn- ing was Howard H. Henry, who is in the insurance business at 72 Broadway. He said he had read about the charges against Inspector Mc hl not have any very clea except that by reading them he had formed a bias which was unfavorable to the defendant. This was so strong he told Mr. blkus that he thought It Would require considerable evidence to the contrary to remove it. Mr. Fikus at once submitted the challenge, but Col. Fellows called the attention ‘of Mr. Hepry to the fact that nothing had ever been published about the Beagriat charge, and the fact, had only been given to the Grand Jury. The talesman, however, explained that his prejudice’ was based upon general rts about the Inspector, and he not think he could give him a fair he was excused. William E. Boise, a lime dealer, of 21 Cortlandt street, was called next. He Proved éatlefactory to the prosecution and Mr. Rollins withdrew the challenge, when Lawyer Elkus tackled him with the list of set questions which were “ y the defen: cca tee) talesmen Siam a RA “Wotae Ba! tha’ a to last Wedne day he had some ions about th: MeLaughlin whe: but aig jury notice he had di ed_ them because he thi t ught he had no right to hold an opinion. “tis former imprestio n, ue sald, would ‘not influence his verdict if chosen on the jury. He thought he could Judge of the facts impartially. After questioning by both sides, Mr. Bolse was accepted and took his place beside Foreman Schneider in the jury- box. He was not sworn, however, and Is still subject to peremptory ‘chal- lenge. The next man called was Arthur Emmerich, who is in the silk business at 54 Howard street, being connected With the fitm of William Wiley & Co. He told Mr. Rollins that his house had been visited since last Wednesda; man who asked his wife @ lot of ques: Uons about him, He asked her if, knew any police- men or had any dealings with them, and if I had @aid anything for or against Inspector McLaughlin,” said Emmerich, “My wife sald he also asked her it In favor of the pollce generally .

As @ result of this move. the entire morning's work has gone for nothing and the lone juror found yesterday is the only one in the box. Allan P. Hubbell. a retired merchant, living at 220 Spring atreet, who the first talesman called at ‘the afternoon Session, admitted that he had many ac- quaintances among the police, anc Personally acquainted with five tains. He was allowed to go. The next to take the stand was Max Lazarus, a banker, at 74 Grand street He admitted that’ his reading of the Lexow Committee proceedings in the newspapers had given him an impres- sion regarding the Police Department in general, and it would require some evidence to remove It. After consultation petween counsel Mr, Lazarus was permitted to take a seat In the Jury box provisionally, but upon being questioned by Justice 'Bar- rett Immediately afterward he admitted that he had fcrmed an opinion about Inspector Mel.aughlin's case, and he was thereupon disqualified and excused John H.

John J. Anderson, a liquor dealer, who keeps a saloon at’ 6) Madison avenue, fas accepted, provisionally, as a third juror. 8 Cap- — = Too Cold for Baseball, ST.
