"The bill Is dead for this year, and all we can do is go home and- wait for the next session of the Legislature," said President Cronln of the White Hats, the vaudeville actors' organisation which has been supporting the Voss bill for the protection of actors from injustice at the hands of booking agencies. "Mayor Adam, although he has refused to see us. has told men who have seen him in our interest that he would not reconsider his veto of the bill. That being the case, it would be useless for us to ask the Governor to sign the bill, even though Mayor McClellan of New York has strongly indorsed it. John Coleman, president of the United Trades and Labor Council of this city, has seen the Mayor two or three times and urged him to reopen the case and give another hearing, but without success.

Labor nlon Bill. "This Is really a labor union bill. It was first suggested by the Actors' Union at the State labor convention held in Buffalo last September. It was indorsed by the Central Federation of Labor and all the labor organizations of the State Assemblyman Voss who always espouses bills In the Interest of labor, took up the matter. The White Rats also started a campaign in, its favor.

It was passed In the Assembly with only three votes against it, and after some delay was passed by the Senate by unanimous vote. -The Governor set a date for a hearing, but later notified us that he would wait until he had heard from the Mavors of the two first-class cities to which it applied. New York and Buffalo. The bill is an amendment to the present employment agency law applving to flrst-claas cities, and therefore we cannot be criticised for Including Buffalo, for we couldn't exclude Buffalo in our amendment. "Last Monday was the date set by Mfeyor Adam for a hearing.

We knew nothing about it until almost the day of the hearing. Mr. Voss, who fathered thP hill in the Assembly, was not noti fied. We had no opportunity to prepare our case or to get Influential men at the hearing. When we came In we knew we were beaten.

Still Hopeful. Secretary Mountford of the White Rats declared that he had not yet given up hope that the Mayor might change his mind. "Todav a long telegram was sent to Mayor A-dBm'from Mayor McClellan's office, supplementing his letter, in which he said he had approved the bill In the hope that Mayor Adam would reconsider his veto. The telegram urged Mavor Adam to approve the bill, and set forth some the merits of the measure, that it would afford protection to the actor who travels from the exactions of certain unscrupulous booking agencies. He has received telegrams from every part of the country, showing that this bill is really a national measure.

John Mitchell, the labor leader. Judge Lindsay of Denver, Mayor Dunne of Chicago and many other leading men of the country wired the Mayor today. He also received messages from Edinburgh, Scotland, and several from England. We believe that these should convince Wm that the bill will afford protection to working1 men- and women who sorelv needr it. If It does not, we will slmplv come back next year with better bill, and It is bound to pass." One reason which leads the White Rat representatives to think their bope is gone for this year is that the Mayor's approval of the bill must be In the Governor's hands by Thursday, and as two days' advertising are required previous to a hearing, Mayor Adam would have to act very promptly to enable them to get the bill Into the hands of the Governor in time for him to sign it before the limit expires.

Seventeen-year-old Clark Roberts of 731 Seventh street played the part of a hero yesterday afternoon, when he rescued seven-year-old Charles Male of 116 Georgia street from what seemed sure death in the waters of the Reading coal dock slip. The little boy was playing on the trestle when he lost his balance and fell into the water.

Other boys who were swimming were too far away to be of assistance, and the rest of the crowd around tthe docks seemed to be paralyzed with terror. Roberts was rowing a scow on the other side of the breakwall. He heard the cries and climbed to the top of the wall just as the drowning boy was going down for the last time. Without hesitating a moment, he plunged into the water. After what seemed an age of waiting, he was seen to reappear with the unconscious boy in his arms.

The crowd bad been holding its breath all this while, and, when the boy finally brought safe back to land, they broke into almost hysterical cheers. It was fully half an hour before the rescued boy regained consciousness. Hon. Thomas Murphy Elected President and Preliminary Plans Laid for a Banquet. The "Wayne County Society was formally organized at a meeting held last night in the offices of Wright Mitchell In the Title Insurance building.

A great deal of enthusiasm was evinced, and many an old acquaintance was renewed. The purpose of the society is purely social, and as there are about 64 names enrolled already, the members expect to have a thriving organization. When the general nature of the society had been thoroughly discussed, the following officers were elected, all of them unanimously. President, Hon. Thomas- Murphy; secretary.

The Master Plumbers' Association of Buffalo has refused to consider any further attempt at arbitration with the 200 striking journeymen plumbers in this city and has announced that the latter must return to work at the old rate of $3.50 for an eight-hour day or not at all. John R. McAlpfne. national president of the United Aoriation of Journeymen Plumbers and Gasfltters, who has been In Buffalo for several days with the Idea of settling the strike, has returned to Chicago without accomplishing his purpose. The employers are standing out for the open shop policy and decline to make any more working agreements with the union.

Much work Is being done In Buffalo at present by non-union men brought by the master plumbers. The Journeymen are warning these men to keep away and are advertising In the papers about the country. The union is paying strike benefits of $7 a week to married men and $5 a week to single men. At presen un Ion plumbers are on strike In 44 cities and towns in the United State. HE General Secretary Olander in Buffalo, Doesn't Know How Long Strike Will Last.

Victor A. Olander, general secretary of the Lake Ben men's Union, was registered at the Tremont Hotel yesterday. He went West last night and on Tuesday will attend the joint meeting of the representatives of the departments of labor of the lake States at Detroit. He satd he could make no gups ns to how long the strike would continue but declared that the nr-n would never submit to the present regulations of the Lake Carriers' Association.

"No fault can be found with our Department of Public Instruction, except that Us head Is too modest in his de mands for the needs of the school sys tem," said Councilman Charles L. WiP-lert.

In discussing the proposed purchase of two lots adjacent to School 58, on Bother avenue, near "Walden. "It has been recommended and It is the belief of all who are Interested in our public schools that every school In this city should stand In a lot at least 250 feet square. An opportunity is offered to acquire a piece of property 30 feet wide and extending from Rother avenue to Sweet avenue, adjacent to this school and directly south of it. at an extremely reasonable figure, and the city Bhould lose no time in securing these two vacant lots. "Aside from the laudable project to establish emple playgrounds In con-Junction with every public school, there Is the additional argument to be met here that most of this land la soon, to be required for building purposes.

So rapidly has this section been developed and the registration of the school Increased as a consequence. I am informed by the principal that already rooms are needed for seven more classes, although ari 18-room addition was completed only last February. Class tm Baaement. "These two lots can be acquired by the city now for $30 a foot, which Is below Its real market value, and the addition would afford sufficient space for playgrounds and the needed school addition. The city should lose no time before this property Is acquired by others and built up.

Nine houses are In course of construction on Sycamore street, and the same condition exists throughout 'he school district. "At present three classes In this school are being held In the basement, place Mt only for the storage of coal. There Is no place for two or three classes of kindergarten pupils, which tne parents are justly demanding to he established. The school is already over taxed lor room, and I am surprised that the Aldermen have not taken some action in the matter. Thli Is a congested district and the children should be kept off the street, wnere tnere is always danger of acci dents.

The people do not care now much money is spent for educational purposes, because they realise tne importance or such expenditures." Aid. Brtts Favors It. Aid. Frank Brit lg another ardent supporter of the proposition, and is whole-souled about the matter, not be cause the school happens to be located in his ward, but because he believes that every school In the city should bs surrounded by ample playgrounds.

"Yean ago. when I was a boy," he said, "we had plenty of playground space, before this part of the cltv was built up, and even now the youngsters call on me to act as umpire In their ball games which they have to play In the street, for want of a better place. I consider It a shame that those future eitizens are not provided with recreation grounds out of harm's way. "I understand that Supt, Emerson favors the purchase of these two Jots, which I consider cheap at the price, and I stand ready to help the NEWS secure for the people of this district such additional land as will provide ample playground space for the children snd aJ the room that In needed for additional buildings for the classpg that Principal Tehon of School mav wlfh to establish.

Mr. Olsen's accompaniments to the soloists were also admirable. Many Recall. Victor Clark, assistant showed the qualities of a leader," though much of the fine detail work achieved with the older conductor are not yet In his power. His best conducting was of the Svendsen and Juliet" overture, a composition of-fine orchestral color and highly Inter-' estlng in character.

Both conductors received most enthusiastic applause, and were recalled many times. The soloists Included Mme. JomelH, whose singing is known only to be admired, so thoroughly artistic is her performance, both as vocalist and musl-t clan. Her apparently unlimited pow-J era as a singer, her fine manner of singing, wonderful breath control, and-vocal technic, all of which, with true artistic perception, Mme.vJomelH uses only as means to the end of musical interpretation, cannot be too muchj praised. The singer's triumph wa rnmnleta and she was obliged to re-1 spond twice to the persistent applause, singing both times tne uacn-ixounwi Ave Marie, to which Albert Spauldlng played a beautiful obligato.

The young American violinist, Albert Spauldtng, was heard to great ad-, vantage In Salnt-Saens' Rondo Cap-i priccioso, which he played with much beauty of tone, fine technic and a nhnrm nnd taste that were very de- Hghtful. He aroused much enthusiasm responding with two solo encores. Fine Voice and Vocel Ability, Franklin Lawson, tenor, sang Una Purtlva Lagrima by Donisetti, dls-, playing a fine voice and considerable1 vocal ability, but lacking In tempera-: ment.

Is ths possessor of good vocal powers, which, however, are not supplemented by the necessary artistic qualities. His powers are not equal to so exacting sn sir as that by Haendel which demands, a finer ma'nner of singing both as to vocal and musical viewpoints. Mr. Lockhart's encore number was "Drinlc To Me Only With Thy Eyes," sung without accompaniment. The concert gave great pleasure to the considerable number of music lovers who braved the bad weather, KILLED BY AGIO UN BY MM Mrs.

"Miserable Fire Trap" and Not Fit For Human Oc- cupancy. As a result of an inspection Of the Genesee Street Police Station, under the order of Acting Health Commissioner Fronczak.

it is expected that the station will be condemned as unfit for human ocupancy and it will then be necessary forthe Police --Commission-, rs to find other quarters for the men, horses and prisoners making up the population of the station. A numerous population of germs and larger bugs will remain in the old station. Thjs station, with others, was condemned last December by Dr. Charles F. Howard, president of the State Prison Commission, which has jurisdiction over every place in which prisoners are detained in this State.

Dr, Howard said last night that the Buffalo police stations are approaching the condition of the city prison at Dunkirk which he found so bad "that any self-respecting; bedbug would turn around and walk out." When asked last night if he knew anything about Station 12 being unfit for use Dr Howard said: Rear Day of Reckoning. "Yes, last December I roasted the daylight out of it. I visited every police station In the city and found all of them open to criticism, filthy, ne-. glected impossible to keep clean. This city ought to be ashamed of it, too.

In the past year Rochester has built five new police stations, at a cost of about $30,000 each, and they are models and far better than anything we have here. "The trouble here seems to be the fear of the tax rate going up a few points and to keep it down we pinch pennies in everv direction, even, to the neglect of the most necessary repairs, and of course there is bound to be a day of reckoning and we are getting pretty near to it. Every corporation sets aside a certain amount very year for repair and by following this system keeps Its plants in good condition at a minimum of cost. The Delavan Avenue Station, for instance, hasn't been painted inside since It was built. Shocking Condition.

"Last Friday I telephoned Police Headquarters to see what was being done about a new station for No. 12. and was told that the appropriation asked for by the commissioners for this purpose had been cut out of the estimates, and that there was no hope of getting a new station this year. I then suggested to Dr. Fronczak that we have an Inspection made of the old building, and that if he agreed with my conclusions to order it abandoned.

I also have written a letter calling the attention of the State Prison Commission to the fact that Buffalo has ignored this recommendation that suitable quarters be provided for prisoners In the 12th Precinct. "The station and stable In which the horses for the mounted men are kept are practically under one roof. The stable is in the rear and is connected with the station by a corridor, to the left of which is the cell block. The cells have practically no ventilation and are filled with the stench of the stable. There are a couple of small windows above the cells.

Floors are warped and it Is hard to open the cell doors. The whole station is nothing but a miserable firetrap. The building sags in places, and I have no dotibt the sills are rotted away. It is nothing but a miserable firetrap. "The men are huddled in a dormitory upstairs entirely unfit for uss.

The commissioners and everybody in the police department are anxious to have something done. This isn't the only rotten station. In No. 10 last fall I found a big patch of plaster off the wall of the officers' room. No.

3 Is unsanitary and the floors are recking with seepage. Wbit'i the I'aef "What Is the use of putting up a building and then letting it go to If repairs are made when they should bs. It is not hard to keep buildings in good shape and increase their life. When I went to Elmira I could see the blue vault of heaven through the rusted iron roof of the engine and boiler room, and they were using 10,000 tons of coal every year. We got a new roof, and the consumption of coal went down to 4500 tons.

The board then agreed that an annual appropriation should be made for keeping the building in repair, and the State has appro-' prlated JtlOOO every year since for this purpose, and as a result the buildings all are in fine condition and- will last many years. "We find bnn conditions in many places, but usually the responsible officials are willing to make the necessary improvpments. I can't understand i why this city doesn't do business the same way. The jail at Lockport was found to be in bad condition. We changes, and they are being made, and they were begun promptly.

SEASON TO OPEN MAY 24 Company Will Be Under the Management of Lawrence B. McGill of New Haven as Announced by Manager Laughlin. Verification of the rumor that negotiations were under way for a season of summer offerings at the Lyric Theater was had last night from Manager Laughlin, who stated that papers had been signed, leasing the Lyric for an extended period to Lawrence B.

McGill of New Haven, Conn. Mr. McGill will launch at the Lyric on Monday evening, May 24. a series of high grade dramatic productions and stami-ard' comedies, which will be given under his personal direction. He arrives In Buffalo tomorrow with his company and rehearsals will be begun at once.

It is stated that the company Mr. MeOill will submit to the theater patrons of Buffalo and vicinity will, in point of individual capacity and collective merit, be equal, if not superior, to any similar organization that has ever catered to the patronage of amusement lovers here and hereabout. Miss Gertrude Shipman the leading woman of the company, has been associated professionally with many of the bright particular stars of the theatrical firmament, and throusrh ler association with them, and her other experience, has rounded Into well nigh perfect shape the un-fcn-iable histrionic ability with which she was naturally gifted. She is a young woman of artiHtlc tempera nwnt, winning personality and great beauty, and it is predicted that she tvlll speedily win for herself a high place in the estimation of theater patrons of Buffalo ahd Western New York.

Her leading man will be Richard Gordon, a clever, versatile actor, who is also likel -yto become exceedingly popular here. Assurance is given that the other members of the company will be entirely satisfactory. Mr. McGill sends word that he will employ every legitimate means to make the productions at the Lyric all that the most exacting demands can ask. It is his intention to apply to the work the best fruits of his years of experience, both as an actor and a manager, and that he will spare no expense essential to the attainment of the results df-slred.

For the initial week the offering at the Lyric will be a fine dramatization of Charles Major's widely read historical novel. "Dorothy Vernon of Had-don Hall," which will be given with the flnel seines accessories used by Bertha OaJiand In the original New York production of 4h.ls famous drama of English life In Elizabethan days. The period In which the play Is laid offers wide latitude for beautiful costuming and will be taken advantage of fully in this presentation. Sfumimer prices will prevail at the Lyric during the run of this company, which is to -be known as Gertrude Shipman and Associate Players. The evening admission will be IB, 25 and 50 cents and the afternoon prices 15 and 25 cents.
