Ai.dant, Feb. 12. In the even greater than usual outburst of oratory that vibrated throughout the Assembly to-day tn honor of the memory of Abraham Lincoln, there was nt lesst one short address that was steeped with sincerity and thanksgiving the speech ot Edward A. Johnson, ths first negro member of the Legislature. "The name of the great Lincoln has a special reverence to me because my father and mother and I were all freed by his emancipation proclamation," he began.

"The fact that I am privileged to be a member of this Assembly ai. address you I owe 'to Abraham Lincoln. Nona but my race, can feel the great respect and gratitude in which I hold his memory." Compared to the simple and grateful words of this colored law maker the most gifted remarks of the other legis lators who voiced their praises of the great President, seemed trite and common. His few words were cast In a low tone, and even ther were hardly neces sary the man himself, educated, tal ented and successful, stood as the flesh and blood proof of Lincoln greatness. 'I was one of a family ot eleven, born In Raleigh, N.

and belonged to a man who owned thirty slaves," he went on. "When I was 4 years old my father and mother and my ten brothers and sisters were set free by President Lincoln's proclamation. A few years later, as a young boy. Instead of being sold to another plantation, I was able to study at night, and soon entered Wash ington School. Later he- attended Atlanta University and was.

appointed principal ot the lead ing colored school In Atlanta. Then he studied law at Shew University, accept ing a professorship In the department after his graduation In 1891. At one time he was an Alderman In the city of Raleigh. In 1907 he came to New York to Wactiso law, and last fall was elected to the Assembly as the first colored rep resentative ever sent to Albany. The anniversary of Lincoln birthday was recognised officially by both houses, Lieut Oov.

Addresses were made by several ot the members. Senator George B. Wellington of Troy took advantage of the occasion to ex press his Ideas ot what the war alms ot the United States should be. "Our fundamental war aim," he said, is to teach Germany, In a way that Germany will never forget, that ours Is a nation with national pride and majesty and that our war aim should be em' bodied, however extravagant It may sound, in orders that should be handed to our ar.ny and navy the first, On to Berlin I' and the second, 'Destroy the German fleet FREAK STOCKINGS PLACED UNDER BAN Pennsylvania Makers Voto to Standardize Styles and Colors.

FATHER OF TWENTY GLAD OF JAIL-TERM Foley Won't Work, Says Wife; Relations Visit Too Often, He Claims.

His wife testified in, court yesterday that until six years ago, when their twentieth child was born, her husband, James Aloyslus Foley, tolled unremittingly at his occupation, which Is that of cutter In a rubber factory. But thereafter his attendance. at the factory, like the stsple tn which the factory deals, was marked by an Increasing flexibility. Mrs. Foley testified as to the nativity of their last child and Jim's subsequent lassitude as separate, not coordinated facts.

The Foleys are prominent personages In Xorth Bergen, N. not because their forebears paid In wampum for their title deeds, nor because of the number and splendor of their town cars, but for the reason that ho Is only 48 and she 46 and. their oldest offspring 2S and their youngest 6. It was the Judgment of their neighbors that a long and useful career still lay before them until yesterday. Their appearance tn court has shattered this.

For the last six years then, while her husband studied the landscape rolling toward the Hudson, or with his cronies discussed the policy of the administra tion at Washington, Mrs. Foley has conducted a notion store under the roof beneath which the numerous Foley progeny have seen the light and has thus fed, clothed and educated tho upbringing Foleys aforesaid. She now invokes logic In presenting tho claim that efficiency and not mere seniority is the true basis of family headship. She was vending tobacco to a knot of men in the shop yesterday when her husband, returning from a war debate In which he had been outmanoeuvred, let slip, a thought too testily, some animadversion on the number of men before the counter and aa to the reasons for their lingering there. Bowing tho customers out nnd placing the shop in charge of her seventh eldest daughter Mrs.

Foley betook herhclf to the forum of Uecorder Miles and lodged a formal complaint, with the result that James won. sent to Jail for thirty days. Foley conceded the Infrequency of re cent attendance at the factory where he was once shining an example of Industry, but attempted to Justify tt on the ground that his grateful children should mas.t their forces and maintain him. But as sentence was passed his faco suddenly lighted. "Can my wire relations or my sons- in-law or daughters-in-law visit me there?" "Yes, but you don have to ace them If you prefer not." Foley bowed.

"There'll bo no appeal taken. Lead tnc to It." TO HONOR WOMEN VOTERS. Entertainment to Be Held on Uve- nln Washington's Birthday.

BROWN ENDS HYLAN PUBLIC UTILITY IDEA Tells Senators jCity's Surplus Money Wouldn't Buy Officials' Cigarettes. CAN'T SEE DEBT DECLINE First of Municipal Ownership Measures Finally Sent to Committee. i Spiciti DttpatcK to TBS BcN, Alsant, Feb. 13.

The deathblow to Mayor Hylan's public utility municipal ownership programme was dealt In the declaration hers to-day of Eton It. BroWn, majority leader, In the State Senate, when ho pointed out that New York city has not and cannot get money enough for the acquisition of public ultilltles. Senator Brown spoke with knowledge, having Just completed a two years Investigation of the finances of the city of New York as chairman of special legislative committee. "There are two ways of approaching this subject." said Senator Brown. "One Is to pass the bill so that ths city of New York can operate Its own franchises and public utilities when it Is In a financial condition to do so.

and the other Is to wait and find out when tt Is In a condition to operate them and then pass upon the matter. "As I understand It, there Is not enough money in the city treasury over and above the debt limit to furnish cigarettes for the administration clear through their time, and that Is certainly a small part of ths expenditure. I therefore hesitate to spend any time upon a -question of the ownership of utilities by the city of New York when, If we psss the bill, tt Is conceded she could not take them over until in a financial condition to do so. Owes Abont a Billion. "As she owes about a billion dollars.

New York dty has really gone beyond the point ot being In a position to acquire public utilities. Everybody knows that, and what Is ths use of our spending time In framing legislation for the acquisition of public utilities when we know that she has not now and that she won't have, during our term of office or those of our successors, money with which to do this thing." The municipal ownership debate started when Senator George F. Thompson. Republican, of Niagara introduced a Iblll giving the present New Tork city administration authority to establish a motor bus line at an estimated cost of 13,000,000 to operate throughout the city, declaring that it would test the Hylan administration's sincerity In Its desire for municipal ownership ot public utilities. Senator Thompson said that the present Fifth; avenue bus line Is owned by the Interboro company and that an opposition corporation had been trying for a long time to get a motor bus franchise from the Board of Estimate and Apportionment Warner Opposes Restrictions.

"If your biy limits the city to the establishment and operation of a motor bus public utility." said Senator Robert Wagner, the minority leader, who introduced the Tammany municipal ownership bill, "we object to you tying our bands In this manner. We want power to aoqulra any public utility In 'New York city when the financial condition of the city will permit" "I can Imagine the kind of.operatlon the public utilities would get under the guidance of the gerdus now occupying the City Hall." said Senator Ottlnger. Senator Slater declared that municipal would merely put into the hands of Tammany a club to keep the public service corporations In subjection. Senator Foley, Democrat, however. Insisted that the city has enough money over its debt limit to permit it to build public schools and to Initiate municipal ownership.

The Thompson bill was referred to the Committee of the City of New York. EXAMINE! PRIMARY LAW. State Senate Adapts Resolution to As me Committee. Special Dupatch to Ths Scn, AtSANT. Feb, 12.

Tho com mission also Is to secure from the Fed ernl Government the right to handle her own natural resources, especially the lioundary waters on the St Lawrence River and at Niagara Falls. Senator Thompson said that the proper development of the State water would enable tne transmission ot eiec trie power from Niagara Falls to New 'York, with branches radiating through the State In all directions, it was pointed out In the report that this would result in tne saving or immense quanti ties of coal now used in generating elec tricity.

Louis, Ftp. It. The Republican National Committee, arter postponing until to-morrow the selection of a chairman, adopted a resolution to-day Indorsing the vote of Republican Congressmen for the Susan B.

Adams of Iowa and Will H. Hays, chairman of the State central committee of Indiana. Most reliable figures available, however. Indicated twenty-three votes pledged to Adams, Twenty-three to Hays and Ave non-committal. Fred Stanley of Kansas, who appeared as a possible "dark horse," to-night put reports of his candidacy to rest with the terse statement "I'rtj not' in and I won't be In it." Friends of Mr.

Stanley declared he would "vote to the last" for Mr. Adams. The expected public attack on Mr. Adams, whose Americanism had been questioned by his opponents, did not materialize, and his friends said they would quickly disprove allegations that he had taken the Initiative In calling a mass meeting at Dubuque, before America entered the war to protest against Americans travelling on muni-. The decision of the committee, seating Jesse M.

Littleton of Tennessee as' com mitteeman from that State was hailed with Joy by the Adams adherents, who regarded him as a partisan of the Iowan. M. W. Mulvlhlll of Mississippi also was seated, but his position was not made known. William Hale Thompson, Slayor of Chicago, came out In favor of Mr.

Adams to-day. "I can seer nothing In anything Mr. Adams has done or aald which would disqualify htm aa a good American and a good Republican, he said. Mr. Thompson Introduced a resolution.

which was referred to the committee on resolutions. He said In a word it in dorsed the Constitution of the United States with regard to free npeech and called for rigid adherence to the rules separating the powers of the legislative, executive and Judicial departments of the Federal Government An interesting feature of the day was provided by women. It had been arranged that Mrs. Abbie Scott Baker of the Woman party should address the committee In behalf of the Susan B. Anthony amendment and that Miss Minnie Branson and Miss Lucy Price of the organization opposed to woman suffrage should oppose Mrs.

Baker. The anti-sinTrage women, who In cluded also Mrs. Henry Preston 'White of Boston and Miss Charlotte Rowe of New York, said Chairman William R. WUI- cox had promised the committee would take no action until they had been heard from. They were chagrined, upon being admitted to the meeting place, to find the committee had already voted a reso lution commending the stand of five-sixths of the members ot the House of Representatives In favor of the Anthony amendment.

Mrs. Baker, the first sprsker, said she was nleased that the committee, without waiting to hear arguments, had voted for suffraae. She said It was the initia tive of the Republicans which had com pelled the Democrats to pass tho amend ment in the lower house. Miss Bronson caused laughter when she said "I look around for the thirty raembera who last night were opposed to suffrage. I wonder hat changed them over to-night." Miss Price, a former Ohio newspaper woman, now a resident of 'New York city, asserted the committee acted without right "Your action, without even hearing was worse than a betrayal of us.

The "antls" held an Impromptu meet ing in the corridor afterward and as serted they would hold Chairman Wlll-cox responsible for a broken pledge.
