(Special from a Staff Correspondent | bee of The Evening World.) ALBANY, Jan, 27.—A new watch- dog of the State Treasury is on guard. Senator Elon R. Brown of Watertown, Republican leader of the Senate, had a rule of procedure put through that body to-day which makes him the ab- solute autocrat and sole dispenser of every dollar of Stato appropriations. The rule provides that at the request of the temporary President (Mr. Brown), or.in his absence the Chair- man of the Finance Committes, any blll creating oF inoreasing a barge) upon the Stete Treasury, no matter what committee may have reported it, shall be referred at any stage of pro- ceedings to the Finance Committee. ! This gives the Finance Committee absolute supervision over all legis- lation that even indirectly involves Stato expenditures, As Temporary President Brown is ex-officio member of the Finance Committee and in complete control of its activities, He alone will hold the combination to the treasury. door. With this power over the public purse in hand Brown how becomes the mont powerful offi- cial in the State Government.
