ALBANY, April 26.—The legislature of 1920 has pessed into history after 4 seaion Kventful in that moro was teft. undone than was accomplished. As a result, the members will prob- ably return before the end of the your-i response to a call by Gov. Smith for an extraordinary session. Contrary to all precedent, neither Majority Leader J. Henry Walters of the Senate nor Majority Leader Simon ¥. Adler of the Assembly made the customary closing address, telling of the labors of their respective bodies and what had been accomplished, This has never been omitted before in the memory/of the oldest member of either Dranch,of the Legislature. ‘The reason was obvious, There Was 90 Uttle to ten, Politics, to the exclusion of every- thing else, was played by the ma- jority, and as a result, the entire ” must suffer and go without much needed reforms at least another year, and maybe longer, unless the men who refused to do the work are brought back and compelled to do it. Gov. Smith, in a closing statement after the adjournment of both Houses, expressed his dissatisfaction at the work left undone, but made no men- tion of a special session. But It ts apparent that he will have to call one for the purpose of securing de- sired legislation, or at leust to put the party, which has blocked It squarely on record.

Not only has the City of New York been’ buffeted in the neglected leg- islation; but a big part of the up- State has been affected by the fail- ure of the Legislature to pass the Governor's reconstruction measures. They are strong up-State for econ- omy in the administration of the “fovernment, especially such groups as Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce, and the feeling there will without doubt enter into the results of the election, The anti-rent gouging bills stand out as the one splendid thing accom- plished by the Legistature, but it (Continued on fourteenth Page.) nn On or Be fore Friday Preceding Publication Sao THE WORLD RED DEPORTATIONS HALTED BY POST; Hearings Granted Nine Men Held Since 1917 as Dangerous Aliens.

Stop on Way Out to Get $3 More From Customer for Bath Brush. Joseph Stern, proprictor of the Audubon Pharmacy, No. 4024 Broad- way, was busy back of the counter and Roy Denagall, negro porter, was swooping up shortly before 9 o'clock this morning when three men en- tered. One went to the soda fountain and asked Denagalj for a drink, the other took his stang in front of the cigar stand and the third asked Stern to make up @ prescription. Stern went into the prescription room at the rear. Denagali finished ‘Gispensing the soda and waited on the customer at the cigar stand, selling him @ package of cigarettes: for ten centy and rectiving a quarter. This made It necessary to get change from Stern. As the porter came back trom the prescription room he faced a re- volver, tern, looking up from his work, also found a revolver pointed at him, “Put up your hands and keep quiet!” was the command to both. Then the robbers bound porter and proprietor, dumped them on the floor of the prescription room, took $249 from them and were about to leave the place when two bonafide cus- tomers entered. Very quietly one of the robbers waited upon these, selling them a nickel bath rush for $3, which they added to their loot. When the store was empty the bandits left, Denagall worked loose from his bonds, cut his employer free and noti- fied a policeman on crossing duty in front of Public School No. 159, at Audubon Avenue and [sth Street ‘The robbers escaped. While the bandits were tying up the druggist and his porter, the for- mer protested at the tightness of the rope, “What's the use of tying me up?” he said. “You've got my money and I'm not going to run out on you.” “You shut! your damned mouth,” re- plied one of the robbers, “Don't try to tell me my business.
