The @onditions existing in New York are @hocking and disgraceful. “The Grady amendment took the very Vitals out of the bill and made it prac? toally useless.” His Own, Says Grady. W _ Genator Grady insisted that the Rap- 44 Transit Cogmission was in favor of his amendment. and the read from a let- ter of George L. Rives, counsel for thé omission. to prove it. “Mr. Rives," retorted Senator Els- bers, ‘told me that the portion of the Dill which was stricken out was a mere stump speech and did not mean any- thing. The Grady amendment, he ‘charged, originated with. one of the counsel of Ryan's Interborough Com- Pany, 60 as to make their grip on the throats of the veople more secure. “Tt came," he repeated, ‘from the at- eys of the railroad. Every one of The routes meet the requirements of the provision stricken out. Are these routes to be abandoned or changed?

Senator White also favored the mo- tion to restore the measure to its orig- foal form. Senator Cooper, of Brooklyn, whose flop on the ‘ill caused its emasculation, | entered Into a long-worded explanation of his views, attempting to justify his act by stating that the bill would delay real rapid transit. He made so pitiable an exhibition that Grady came to his rescue and made his speech for him, a spectacle dt which the other Senators laughed. It was the first time in “years that a Senator was com- pelled ta permit an associate to make his speech for him. If Senators 81 is, and Quinn had deen in their seats when the motion * reconsider was O.ken the vote would have been % to 2% and the deciding vote would have been cast by Licut.- Gov.

SENATE PASSES FIRST INSURANCE IN THE SENATE) BILLAFTER FIGHT ——eae Rapid-Transit Bill, Provides for Reorganiza- tion of New York Life and Mutual. (Special to The Evening World.) ALBANY, March jafternoen by a unanimous vole passed the first bill of the Special Insurance Investigating Committee, which would postpone until Noy. 15 the anual elec- tlons of the New York Life, Mutual of New York, Mutual Reserve of New York, and Security Mutual, of Bing- hamten; would terminate on that date the tenure of office of all the present directors and trustees of the companies, and nullify all proxies executed prior to Sept. 15 next. The bill goes now to the Assembly for concurrence. The anticipated cpposition to the measure appeared as soon as the terms of the bill were read. Senator Malby the chairman of the Finance Commit- tee, began the assault by counselling caution in branding men as unfit to hold office. “Does the Senator mean to say that he thinks a director or trustee who has permitted hundreds of thousands of dollars of policyholders’ money to be used in the debauching the public lite is fit to hold his office?” asked Sezator Brackett, rushing to the defense of the ‘bill. Break by Malby. “No, but I don't think we should condemn every man now holding of- fice with a life insurance company. If we did the ony living ex-President of the United States and tne presiding Judge of the Appellate Division would bs branded as being a thief,” retorted Malby. “The Senator does not know what he is talking about. Nelther Mr. Cleveland nor Judge O’Brien is a di reotor or trusiee of a mutual com: pany and, therefore, does not come within the ecope of this bill,” said Senator Brackett. Malby, proceeding, said that he did to be hounded by public He said he would vote for most of the insurance bills and might Yote for the present one. He would decide as the bills were reached. Senator Brackett following in support of the bil declared that the question Was not whether Mr. Cleveland, Judge CBeéa ior, Paul Morton should’ be re- joved. but if anv man who as trus or director of “an ‘insurance “company had permitted the squandering of the Money of the policy holders of insurance companies, should be Intruated with the managing of their money in the future. ‘The Senator's objections are side is- sues," he added, “because they do not ean anything. We have to settle upon one thing. It is that our duty poin straight one way, the rescue of the vol- {ev-holders’ money from the control of the men who have proved thelr unfit- ness to be trusted again,” Why Skip Equitable?
