Lads in Big East Side Boys’ Club MILER TRANSIT ACT Mutiny in Legislature Growing and Whole Party Programme May Be Smashed. DAVENPORT MAY LEAD. New Moses to Lead Way Out of Wilderness, By Joseph S. Jordan. {Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) ALBANY, March 11.—The Traction BM. as finally reported to both Houses is a rock upon which the whole Republican programme may g to smash. Not only is the party Jacking votes to pass the measure io the Senate, but the growing spirit of mutiny is spreading to the Assembiy. The leaders are keeping an anxious eye upon Senator Davenport of Oneida. He will, it is rumored, lead the fight against the traction bill in the Senate. So far he has gone no farther thah to say he is “not com- mitted” to the bill. He is a power with the independent progressive ele- ment and should he take up the fight its defeat can be easily predicted. Meanwhile the Miller men are look- tng in vain for sonie Moses to lead them out of the wilderness of amend- ments and the abyss of rhetoric into which they have beon plunged by the statement of the Senate Public Ser- wice Committee which was supposed So far as the members, both from | the city and up-State, can interpret’, the statement and the bill itself just two features stand out: The authority of the cities, so far their railroads are con- corned, is to be taken from them and vested in a commission selected by, and responsible only to Gov. Miller. Contracts already made by cities are to be rendered worth- loss. ‘The members to-day are asking in this connection if present contracts are no good, how good will bu the contracts entered into by the new Rapld Transit Commission, and what securtty will there be in any future contract. ‘That rebellion against the Miller domination is in the air is apparent im the corridors of tho Capitol in the of the leaders..cf both Houses and in "he open talk of the members. Tho members are chifing against the caucus collar. They are sore because their own measums have been sidetracked to clear the way for the administration bills. Thé Republican Assemblymen de- clare that they were tricked into a caucus last Monday night. They wer ealie@ to a conference on Prohibition enforcement, and when it was found that there were only sixty-nine yoies for the enforcement, the conference | was turned into a caucus. As has been told, many of the Assemblymen bolted the caucus, the Prohibition enforfeement was made a party issue, ‘with omy a single vole to spare. Signs of rebellion were manifested on Tuesday when that measure came up in the Assembly to be forwarded to final passage, The only way advance mem could be scoured Was by 4 close ca pf the House, and then it carried by 4 single vote. Dr. George R. Lunn, the fighting Mayor of Schenectady, suid to-day | that the up-State cities are being mi led into the belief that the tract: bill “affects New York City only, lic declared the amendments a sham, and said Gov. Miller should be the last man to suggest the sale of the bir right of our cites; that every Am ican should stand for the inyiolubility of contracts. After reading the statement of the Public Service Committes, which ac- companied the favorable report of the ‘commission on the bill, Mayor Lune said; BILL DRAWN BY RUTHLESS HAND, SAYS LUNN. “Kt last we have the amendments to the Knight-Adler bill. A few of the. up-State citics had recorded themselves as wanting to know what amendments would be made to (he Dill before they took any stand ogaipst it, They were hopeful every hope that yital amendments would bé incorporated in the bill has been, blasted.
