SANY, Jan, 6.—The Legislature of 6M assembled to-day with an armed race existing between the Platt and def factions. The Gdverner's mes- ze was read in both houses. Speaker ‘ixon made a speecis and both houses then adjourned for 2 week. | It fs the plan of the ‘Odell men to have a ong session, but the Platt force ‘avors quick action and early adjourn- ment, If the Platt men prevail, some pf Gov, Odell’s plans to control the pring convention for Roosevelt may e upsct. | Goy, Odell’s financial scheme for Puylag some $41,000,000 in the work pf canal improvement was presented to the Legislature down to the wmall@t’ details to-day in the Gov- troor's annual message. This plan nas blready been outlined by the Governor nd has been freely Giscumed, put its. piaborate e now wade S great interest in the Acheme and confidence of its economy {x Indicated by the way ne plunges into Te pst at the very outset of his message, and by the fact that he de- votes almost three times as mucl: to it as to any other one of the nurr>- bus State affairs he discusses. Plan to Saye. The referendum voted for by the peo- ple at the last election, savs the Goy- ernor, provides for a direct tax nnd the payment of the enormous canal flebt tn eighteen years. ‘To adopt this, means to burden the people of the State unnecessnry interest clarges, the Governor thinks, amounting Invelghtecn Fears to §54,54,000, nnd, if the period be Pxtended to Afty years, to $151,500,000, bn the principal sum in both cases 0 be provided for in addition. If the entire debt of $101,000,000 coula e paid in twenty annual instalments, ithout Interest. says the Governor, the bigation would call for an annunl pay- nent of $5,500,000 or but $2,470,000 more han the harges, | This could be done if the State's rev- mues from Indirect sources were large fnough, but they are not, With addi- Hional revenues of $5,500,000 n year, the fovernor believes, enough money could be provided for the first five yenrs of Work, without recourse to sales of bonds br levies upon localities | Counties to Help, ‘The bonds to be issued afterward, he i should be of such a character that proposed annual interest he principal and interest might. be puld t maturity, Such bonds would not be ‘ttractive to investors, the Governor ad- (nits, but his scheme {s to turn to the pounties for assistance in carrying out his plan for financing this great public improvement.

Turke returned from Cuba five weeks ago with an honorable discharge from the United States Army in his pocket and secured employment with the B. R ‘T. When he went to work to-day there was no work to be done in coupling cars, so he was sent to shovel snow. He was at work at a point about 150 feet south of the Thirty-sixth street tation when the Bay Ridge tra{n, bound north, came around the curve. Burke, who was muffled up, did not see the train, nor was he aware of its ap- proach until the motorman sounded the whistle. Burke started to get off the track, but slipped and fell backward just in front of the motor car. Half the train ran over him, An ambulance surgeon said that death had been instantaneous. ‘The home of Burke was at No. 1728 Eighth avenue. No arrests were made. “KNOWS NOW Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Caso for a Time.
