But other members from Greater New York banged and wha on the measures and while they not change that bribery had ben resorted to’ they asked tn ringing tones what had beon done over night to bring a change of heart to certain mentbers, It was charged that paid employees of the Assembly were trying to get votes for the Jenks bills, and all the while there were, in the room to the left of Speaker Sweet's rostrum, lobbyists of the Traction Trust try- ing to direct the vote which would make the bills the laws of the land so far ag the Assembly was con- cerned, And then, after assurance had been riven that the necessary seventy-six | votes were corralled, a counting of noses ‘again showed that there had been defections in the traction ranks and that it would be impossible to put them over at the session. Then Speaker Gweet intefrupted the de- bate and said Majority Leader Adler wanted to make a motion that the entire calendar go over till to-day. Assemblyman Louis A.

The motion was put and carried and the traction lobbyists given another night to gather the needed ten votes to put the measures through the House. CITY FINES M’GILL, PUTS HIM TO WORK. Leader of Elevator Strike Who Left Municipal Building on “Sick” Leave Ordered to Duty. ‘Thomas J. McGill, who asked off from his $1,400 pob as chief of elevator start- ers in the Municipal Building, and, while drawing pay on ‘sick leave,” directed the strike of elevator operators as President of their union, has been pun- ished by being ordered back to duty and fined ten days pay. The facts are set forth in a memoran- dum from the Commissioner of Public Works to Borough President Henry H. Curran, as follows “I gave Mr. McGill an opportunity to explain the charges preferred against him and found him guilty of the charges: (1) Absence without leave; (2) conduct prejudicial to the best in- terests of the service, in that he repre- sented to his superior, officer that he was physically incapaciated to perform the duties of his position when, by bis own admissions, he was, on April 14 and subsequent thereto, able to attend © other busigess, “I have denied his application of April 15 for one menth's leave without pay, ordered him back to duty, and fined him ten days’ pay.
