THE BUFFALO COURIER MONDAY, APRIL 3-1; 4, Oor LEGISLATURE IN FINAL AND MOST EXCITING WEEK FLYBR OF THB LAKBS I OPEN THE SEASON WATERS TOR A GE '-r'M COMMISSION HITS BACK AT CRITICS Lewis Bill Defended-and Projectors Present Evb dence In; Refutatioitof Charges Made In New; York City Members Not In-terested In Jobs or Schemes. mut work on $3,000,000 REGENT'S JOB EXCUSE FOR 1 FIGHT Senator -R.

CRITICISM ALL FROM CO UNTY NOT AFFECTED APPROPRIATION BILLS LIKELY TO BE SLASHED all of the so-called "xab" street railroad bills have been abandoned.

WILCOX BILL OX CALENDAR. The WIloox bill, embodying; practically all of the features of the other bills, Is on the Senate calendar, but It Is stated that It was reported only tn order to give the members of the committee opposed to it an opportunity to be recorded against it. The Grady bills' have been amended so as to meet the objections of the New York City authorities, and are no. longer the subject of controversy. The New York City police force Increase bill, amended so as to Include the three-platoon system, la now la the bands of Mayor Low.

It Is understood that it will' be returned with his veto and the vote upon the measure Indicates that there will not be sufficient votes to pass it over his veto. In case of Its being so passed, however, the attitude of Governor Odell is believed to Indicate that he would not approve It in the face of the Mayor's opposition. A number of Important measures are still pending and promise some spirited contests. The bill of Senator Elsberg poses and Intentions of the result of such "work should call forth criticism so unfounded as this and others. The bill which was drawn as a result of the work of the commission was compiled with great care, and all 'the safeguards known for the protection of the people of the State and at the same time to relieve the disastrous1 freshet condition, were thrown about It.

Under the bill no work can be done unless It Is approved by seven of the nine members of the commission and then not until appropriations are made by the Legislature. Thus It will be seen that the commission's work Is subject to review, not alone by the courts, but by the Governor, who passes on appropriations, and the chosen representatives of the people iu the Senate and Assembly. RELIEF PROVIDED FOR. "The purpose of the bill Ib to Inaugurate the work of freshet cessation and to give the cities of the State a commission' to which 'they can go for relief. All proper opportunities for appeal are accorded in the bill, and only power Is given to the commission sufficient to order work to be done when found necessary for the protection of health and safety.

difficult to understand, therefore, why so much disregard of truth has characterized the commission's critics. The measure is approved by every village and city of the State In the freshet localities and the entire crltlclsmf cornea from New York City, which is unaffected by the bill's passage. The Water Storage Commission is composed of Attorney General Cunneen. State Engineer Bond. Superintendent of Public Works Boyd, Commissioner Mld-dleton of the Forest, Fish and Game Commission; Prof.

O. H. Lourdreth of Union College, John L. King of Syracuse, George R. Finch of Glens Falls, and George W.

Rolfe of 'Rochester. The late Mr. Sweet, former 8tate Engineer, was also a member of the Albany, April 19. The Slate Water Storage Commission tonight gave out a statement 'in' which the members seek to answer the criticisms which have' been directed against the Lewie water storage bill which passed the Senate on Friday and especially with reference to the charges of the New Tork Board of Trade and Transportation In which It was alleged that the publication of the commission's report had been delayed for Improper reasons. In the statement the commissioners say: "For some unknown reason, but probably due to misconception and failure to investigate, the commissioners and their work have been assailed In documents from New York City.

These documents have not failed to attribute corrupt motives, incompetence, and other undesirable qualities to the commissioners. The latest criticism is to the effect that parts of the report of the commission have been suppressed and that the Individual members of the commission were Interested In certain jobs and schemes. the: charge: answered. "The fact that the report was made, filed and published is sufficient to controvert the first charge, and the character of the commissioners. It is hoped.

Is ample to indicate the untruthfulness and unfairness of the second charge. The report. In two sections, has been given to each member of the Legislature, they having been obtained by the commission from the State printer, who under his contract would not be compelled to furnish the report until next summer. "It is generally conceded that no moro thorough work was ever done by a commission than that performed by this one, and it Is to be regretted that want of proper investigation of the pur FEW STUDENTS SCARED BY ITHACA'S SCOURGE Out of 2.677 Registered This Year at Cornell Only Thirty-two Do Not Intend to Return in September. in harbor work on iAke, Michigan win be resumed.

Because the front and back range objects are but 7.700 yards apart, observations should not be made farther away from the breakwater light than opposite south entrance. JAY GOULD REACHES JPORT.

It announced today that at a meeting of the board of trustees of Cornell University. held yesterday President Schurmen ''presented a report on the present condition of the university, showing, that since April 1st 'Inquiries bean addressed to 2,677 students registered this year at' Ithaca, with, the view to ascertain how many would return" to the university in September next and that replies have been received from nine-tenths of the students indicating that, excluding the graduating class there are only thirty-two undergraduates out of the whole number who do not intend to return to the university In September. After an exhaustive consideration of the subject the trustees unanimously decided that there was no reason for making any change In the schedule of work announced In the register and the summer session will accordingly be held as usual. The university made an appropriation to pay a special sanitary officer to be appointed by the board of health of the city of Ithaca Albany, April 19. Only a very wise man -would undertake to prophesy In detail the doings of the lat week of the 8tate Legislature, which opens upon a combination of circumstances out of which unexpected results might emerge.

There is no present reason to doubt that adjournment will take place according to the official programme, on Thursday. April 23d. or with the clock turned back on Friday, but the fur legislative day ensuing between now tnd then have the prospect of being full to overflowing with both work and controversy. The developments on Thursday and Friday in the Senate over the confirmation of the Governor's appointment of a Railroad Commissioner snd Superintendent of Election Imply the possibility of tense situations, which nay push actual legislation into long sessions and late hours. The most direct Interest of both houses renters upon the appropriation bills.

The supply bill Is expected from the Senate finance committee on Monday aright. A conference committee will be appointed, as usual, to compromise with the Assembly over the items upon which the two houses may differ.

THAT MORTGAGB TAX BILL.

The effect of the Governor's determination upon the still pending mortgage tax proposition cannot be stated. If the state of the finances such that the appropriations must be heavily cut It la very likely that a mortgage tax bill will even yet be passed, providing probably for a tax upon future mortgage holders of electing to come within its shelter anrt thus escape the varying local taxs. To thl date the four Mills Mortgage Tax bill remains technically the caucus measure of the Republicans In both houses, although a confereace of the Assembly members had voted 57 to 20. in favor of abandoning It and the' Senators by 19 to 4 in favor of adhering to it. No caucus of lelther house has been called to ratify the action of the conferences.

The Water Storage Commission bill of Senator Lewis, over which there has been much controversy and criticism, having passed the Senate will come up for actlsx tn the Assembly and is expected to pass.

The three Republican rebels, Brackett, E. R. Brown, and Elsberg, were aa be-ligerent as ever yesterday, and E. R. Brown was threatening to tie up the election of a regent of the State University.

Republican Senators and, Assemblymen at their caucus on Thursday night, chose Charles S. Francis, of Troy, as their candidate for regent. Senator E. R. Brown had Just then Introduced a bill for the reduction of the number of regents to eleven.

He. therefore, says no more regents should be elected this year and consequently that Joint session of the Senate and Assembly should be held to elect a regent. If the Senate declines to meet the Assembly in Joint session on this matter of course no regent will be elected. Senator Grady and the Democrats hold the key to the situation. Senator Grady postponed the Democratic caucus on regents till tomorrow night, doubtless to see If the rebel Republicans will actually make a fight on the question of electing a regent.

Governor Odell and the Republican leaders are chiefly concerned Just at present over the State tax rate. The Indications tonight are that it will be .13 of a mill, the same as last That raised $748,000.

Whether this action Is merely formal, to be followed later by the resignation of Mr Schwab, has not been allowed to become known. RSII THE GAUHTLET MO ADOPTED BY i SIX iTIOIIS Founder of the Jones Family of Leicester Was for Forty Years Interpreter ifor the Famous Indian Tribes. By Special Wire to The Coarler. Leicester.

April 19. There is an Interesting bit of personal history handed down In the Jones family of Leicester which will bear repeating. The story runs that when Captain Horatio Jones, the grandfather of the late James W. Jones of Pine Tavern, was about 16 years old, he was captured by the Indians and brought Into the Genesee Valley. It was the year 1779, when Washington's army was encamped hear Morrlstown, N.

and the country was aflame with war. Young Jones, who was a powerful athlete, was forced by his captors to run the gauntlet and so well did he acquit himself that the savages were seised with admiration of his bravery and adopted him Into one of their tribes. Such became his knowledge of Indian languages and affairs that at the close of the war he was appointed by General Washington to the Important post of Interpreter for the Six Nations, a place which he held continuously for the next forty years.

Mann, who secured the options, and two engineers in the employ of the Brooks Works, would seem to indicate that the Brooks Works have an interest connected with this land, and especially so, as while the engineers were running lines the others held consultations over maps spread upon the ground.

By Special Wire to The Courier. Dunkirk, April Courier noted some time ago that options bad been secured in the eastern part of the city, in the near vicinity to the Cassety woods, by parties who did not wish their identity disclosed.
