ALBANY, March 10,.—The }xeeutive has suddenly realized that the interests working against the increase of 50 per cent. on liquor licenses were becoming dan- gerous, and so the order was given out tojam the meas- ure through. Accordingly, by a strict party vote, the Senate Com- mittee on Excise reported favorably on the bill to-day. The Committee on Taxation also reported it, Because he heard that the saloon-keepers raised a big fund to defeat th» proposed increase in the liquor tax Mayor Low refused to receive a com- mittee from.the Liquor Dealers’ Association to-day. The members of the committee, furious at what they considered an in- sult, marched in a body to the Mayor's office, but were fornibly barred from aamittance by a police guard. ‘Then they went to District-Attorney Jerome and asked him to make of- Lcia! investigation of the charge that they had raised a corruption fund. <n the opinion of the Nquor dealers the excuse of the Mayor is a sub- verfuge.

MAY GET OUT INJUNCTION. Talk of Appeal by Company to Courts If Employees Begin to Make Preparations for a Gen- eral Strike. Directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, after a continuous session in the Grand Central Station of more than three hours, adopt- | ed thelr ultimatum to the dissatisfied employees this afternoon, The directors appeared flurried when they came out of the board room and showed by their actlons that they had been engaged in a controversy, Mr. Rockefeller and Mr, Morgan went down town together. All that could be learned of the pro- ceedings was that an answer to the men nas been prepared and will be for- warded to New Haven this evening, Nothing was given out as to the nature of the answer, although it was said to be a refusal to grant the demands, There was a definite report about the Grand Central Station that the directors had decided to apply for an injunction tn case the men refuse the proposition which will be submitted to them and begin preparations for a strike. While the men are not talking strike, the company 1s making preparations to give them a stiff fight if they should walk out. ‘The desire to strike exisis largely among the trainmen 1n tae freight department. The pasenger con- ductors. who have good positions and short hours, are against a strike, and employees of lower grades fear that if it comes to a crisis the old conductors will refuse to leave their tratns. William D- Bishop, of Bridgeport, an influential director is the friend of the men. He championed thelr cause in New Haven Monday, when a committee of directors met the joint committee of dissatisfied employees and listened to thelr demands. Members of the em- ployees’ committee say that they have what practically amounts to a pledge from Mr. Bishop that he will take care of their end of the discussion in the meeting of the board to-day.
