‘RUSSIA'S WAR FLEET MO DELL ASKS LEADERS TO FIGHT GAS TRUST Governor Is Having Measure Put in| Shape Which Will Afford the People . Ample Relief and Force the Extor-| tioners to adopt Different Methods. ‘Ho; -. Important Conference To-Night / tat Executive Mansion toConsult.Party Leaders and Definite Action May Be Planned for the Legislature. / (Special to The Evening World.) 7 ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 3.—Gov. Odell’s remedy for the Gas Trust oppres- jston in New York is taking form in the omnibus bill he will send to the ‘Legislature. Definite action will be delayed until after ne confers with the tate party leaders in his New York conferences. This delay may last several weeks, and among men who know politics ‘and the ambjtions of politicians it is believed that this delay may continue until after the March nominating conventions. aR ; .However, the Governor bas expressed himself irreyocably in favor of The Byening World's cfforts to obtain better gas and a more reasonable reading of meters, and it now devolves on Mayor McClellan to express his wishes. ‘Phe Governor has hesitated among a mass of bills and resolutions. At rst he favored a resolution permitting him to appoint an investigating com- mission, Then he changed, and his emissaries annonnced that he believed “ft would be best for the Legislature to name an investigating commission. FAVORS MUNICIPAL RESPONSIBILITY. Now he favors, it is sald, shifting the responstbility on the municipal authorities by delegating to the Board of Aldermen the power to appoint an investigating committee which shall have the power to summon witnesses and fine those who are swhpoenaed aud who fail to appear, or sentence those who refuse to’ testify. Fy With Gov. Odell in New York there fs nothing doing in legislative agitation, except what the Standard Oil lobby is doing, and apparently that ts plenty. M. B. Connell has disappeared. But his successors and representatives | are evident. / Mr. Connell {s the “inside man” for the Executive Committee of the ‘Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company. The Standard Oil, includ- | \ing the Widener-Elkins-Ryan syndicate, controls the Gas Trust. ‘The Gas | ‘Trust has profited by the lesson taught the lobby last year and in previous years and js on the ground early. ] No corporation, association or private interest in recent years thought of doing anything like real lobbying until hear the end of the session. It will de recalled that the New York Liquor Dealers’ Association exerted its | influence too late to affect or effect legislation, y Recognizing the punishment which that procrastination cost them the ; Gas Trust's agents are already on the scene. Others are expected any day. This is not to Infer that any legislator could be influenced, but by appear- aces the lobby expects to create a sentiment. IMPORTANT CONFERENCE TO-NIGH1. Following the return of the Governor to-day an important conference js expected to be held to-night at the mansion, Goy. Ode!! will have the sug- eations of the party leaders in New York City and thece will be discussed \ by the legislative leaders, and it may be that a definite course of action in dealing with the gas trust will be planned for the Legislature. The last expression of opinion by the Governor was that a’State com- mirsion should be appointed to inquire into the abuses inflicted by the trust. But the party ieaders suffered a sudden reversal of opinion to- day when they read the authoritative statement in The World that the Governer, proposed gtving a more liberal home government ‘to New York q City, ard.thet he would cause to Be enacted measures which would permit the Board of Aldermen to reguiate excise, gas and other matters. While this statement was of undoubted authority it Js cértain that Goy. Odel! took the newspapers Into his confidence before consulting the party leaders. And then, before consulting the leaders, the Governor hur- ried awny to New York City to see the Ideal leaazrs there ‘on the gas trouble, Conregtntly the men in the. Legislature whose. opinions or statements ; would ca; y weight because of their affiliation wRh the party of the ma- | Jority, are not willing to be quoted, except to reiterate the statements they | made yesterday through The Evening World relative to the gas abuse, The situation or temperament of the controlling party in the Legis- | lature is this: It is willing—even anxious-—to take action, but it does not | know what action to take and will not take any until Gov. Odell submits L : CAN’T CHA Joseph Gonorovsky Should Firat) r petition.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %.—Senator M: | A. Hanna has deen ordered to atay in bed until he fully recovers, although | hia condition to-day 1s such as to be| mort encouraging-to his friends, Surgeon-Gen. Rixey, of the Navy, who {a attending Senator Hanna, said to- day: ‘Benatar Hanna had less fever this! morning. than he had ‘yesterday at the serously fll. He is quite sick, of course, with the grip. but I am sure that with Absolute quiet and rest he will recover.” “The Senator was restless inst night,” zaid his secretary, Mr. Dover, “but his} fever is less this morning than it was yesterday and we are much encouraged. ‘The physicians say the Senator is suf- | fering merely from the aftermath of the mevere attack of grip he had in New York, and they do not apprehend any serious results.” Illness Began in New York. Senator Hanna's iliness began in New York during the holiday recess of Con- wress, He was ill at the Waldorf-/ Astoria for a week. Then he recovered sufficiently to go to his home in Cleve- land, He spent a few days in Chicago, made a speech to the Legislature at Columbus when he was re-elected to} the Senate, and cams back to Wash- ington on . 15. He was in great good spirits then, but caught a fresh cold and was sent to bed by his phy- sician a few days later. He had a@ high fever, but that was soon reduced, and the most of his suf- fering was due to the intense pain of an ulcerated tooth that would not allow | him to sleep. The tooth was operated on and Senator Hanna began to recover rapidly. Ordered Back to Bed, Last Friday the Senator was up and around ‘his room and on Saturday night he attended the Gridiron Club dinner and enjoyed himself hugely. He saw a great many people on Sunday and the exertion of the two days brought on a recurrence of the grip.. He was ordered | to bed on Monday and will: be com-; pelled to stay there until he recovers. | The friends of Senator Hanna are anxious, but no one anticipates any- thing serious. Surgeon Genera] Rixey is very confident the Senator will re- cover, It is admitted the Senator !s quite il, bit not dangerously so. It will be some time before he will be able to be up and around. epee WIFE GETS $1,375 VERDICT. way Will Settle Hus.
