Ie ee THE WORLD: THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 19, 1904. , GAO GRAB KILLED BY “GOV, ODELES VEIL Believed that This Was Done Simply for Political Rea sons as Last Year Odell Was Ready to Sign the Meas- ure but Low Prevented It. Gov. Odell's veto of the Remsen Bast River Gas bill is expected to prove the strongest card the Republicans will) have in the State campaign this fall. Local Republican leaders were Jubilant this afternoon when informed of the Governor's action, When the Governor announced his veto to-day he sald he would follow ft with a memorandum setting forth the reasons that actuated him. This meéfhorandum will pe held in the Ex- ecutive Chamber until to-night, when It will be given to the press. Mayor McClellan‘and the Tammany organization are braced for a scathing roast. It is anticipated that the Gov- ernor will take advantage of this veto to fay Tammany with all the power at his command. The tmpression among politicians is that the veto is for pollt- feal effect solely, because some of the| Governor's closest friends were inter- ested in the passage of the Remsen Hill in the Legislature. Ready to Sign Last Year. It {s recalled by Tammany men that the Governor would have signed the bill last year after Mayor Low vetoed it, but was Informed by the Attorne: Jeral that the action of the M final in killing the bill and could not be overridden by the State Executive, | The burden of the Governor's memo- | randum is expected to be that the real protector of the Interests of the people | of this city is the Republican party. Bhould the Governor sign the Niagara Falls grab his machine followers look ‘upon the effect of that to be discounted by bi« veto of the Remsen measure, News of the action of the Governor | cessors reached Wall strect at the hour of the opening of the Stock Exchange. Some speculaturs expected that the veto wuld depress the price of Consolidated Gas ae ‘The effect was contrary, as tie sto advanced 11-2 points. An extracrdinary fenture of this stock Is that when’ Mayor McClellan approyed the bill the price of Consolidated de- clined 2 points. ‘s The news that Goy. Odell had vetoed the Remsen Gas bill did not reach the office of Mayor McCitllan until his sec- retary was informed of the fact by an Evening World reporter. Mayor Mc- Clellanshad no comment to make. The chief objection to the Remsen East River Gas bill was that It be- stowed upon the gas monopoly of this city a perpetual franchise, that {t did not provide for proper payments to the clty and that the passage) of the bill by the Legislature was a violation of the home rule principle, inasmuch as the officials of the city had the’ power to grant a franchise. The objectionable section extended to the East River Gas Company, “its suc- and, assigns,"" the powers and privileges “hereinbefore conferred” in the borough of Queens, “as well as In the territory herelnbefore expressly in- cluded.” It is common talk in Tammany that Goy. Odell's veto of the bill was occa- sioned by Mayor McClellan's veto of the Municipal Courts measure. ‘This latter bill was a Republican pet just as the gas bill in alleged to have been a Tammany deal, in which also certain Republicans were interested.

He ad- mitted that he told the ex-Captain there were a number of charges pending against him, and- that he was a nicg specimen to be dispensing Justice. “Are there any indictments pending against Prico now?" asked Mr. ‘Lind#- toy, “No,” replied O'Brlen. “I've been try- Ing all the time to get Jerome to take bome action.” Frequent tilts occurred between coun- pel, and Mr. Lindsley was compelled to rap often for order. John F/ O'Brien, one of O'Brien's witnesses, In answer to a question as te who began the conversation, said Price did. & “You Me!” thundered Price, shaking is fingers at’ the witness. “ghut up!” yelled the Trial Commis- foner, “or I'l put you out of the ourt-room.” “Put me out! retorted Price; “but hat’s a lle, and it’s brutal to say it.” ‘Then the “Trial Commissioner turned © O'Brien and satd: “I want you to get Into no more difficulty with Capt.
