Cravath Urges That Commission Be Appointed to Study the Question. SAYS ANNUAL TAX IS UNFAIR. Assembly Defeats the Bill to Permit Christian Science Readers to Practice Medicine. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 14-The bill introduced by Senator Mills to provide an annual on secured debts recelved heavy jolts at the hearstase ang yesterday on the measure before the Senate Committee on Taxation. 8 large.

delegation of prominent In fact, it was so badly hammered the moneyed men that Senate Leader Brown, after listening to the. protests for a while, announced that it would probably be very generally amended before passage. hearing was marked by a dispute between Francis Lynde Stetson and W. Fred Silleck of the Erie Basin Board of Trade, and a prediction by Senator Brown that unless some sources of indirect revenue were discovered very shortly there would probably be a direct tax for the next 'five years. He indicated strongly that it might be even higher neat, Silleck's year than this year.

Cravath urged that the Legislature appoint a commission to sit all summer and study out a comprehensive law for taxing of secured debts, and let the subject alone this year. He urged that a small tax imposed at five years intervals would be fair in his estimation. An annual tax he objected to as unfair, especially in view of what he termed "the contract the State with holders of secured debts under the present law." This exempts them from taxation forever upon the payment of a one-half of 1 per cent. registration fee. Senator Mills, during the debate, urged that his bill would increase the State's revenue $20,000,000 annually, Among the others.

who appeared against the bill were James H. McIntosh, vice president of the New York Life Insurance Company; Robert tion L. of Cox, Life president Insurance of the Associa-. Presidents; Henry M. Morgenthau and A.

C. Pleydell of the New York Tax Reform Association. A particularly strong fight was waged by the life insurance people. McIntosh said that the New York Life would be compelled to pay 570,000, aside from its realty tax. At present the concern pays taxes total- The Assembly yesterday ground out a large amount of work, sitting from 11 o'clock in the morning until 6 at night.

It defeated the Thorn bill to permit Christian Science readers to practice medicine by 79 to 46, and passed the Hinman bill ousting Edwin J. Harris, the former Deputy State Conrtoller, who is charged with giving out information to enemies of Governor Whitman. This information consisted of figures upon which was built the argument againsct the ernor's claim that an $18,000,000 direct tax was necessary, it is claimed. Upon the report of the Committee on Rules, Assemblyman Me Whinney's bill providing that town auditors in 'Suffolk County should receive not less than $3. nor more than $5 a day compensation, and that they shall not be paid for more than eighty days service in one year, was passed.

So, also, was Assemblyman Phelan's bill providing for registration of any voter from one election district to another within the same Assembly district. The Brennan bill amending the insurance law relative to mutual companies was also passed. This is the bill that provides that mutual insurance corporations may not transact workmen's compensation business unless the annual premium cost of the insurance applied for shall be not less than $25,000 at the minimum "manual rates" approved by the Superintendent of Insurance. Assemblyman Simpson's bill to vent life insurance companies from sisting upon the placing of fire insurance on property on which they loan money through certain favored brokers, which bill was beaten by 1 vote last week, was called up and passed. Senator Walker has introduced a bill authorizing the Board of Assessors of New York City to make awards for damages caused by the change of grade of Sixty-seventh street, Brooklyn, between Fourteenth avenue and Fort Hamilton avenue.

It was referred to the Cities Committee. ERROR IN WATER BILL. Baxter Measure Will Have to Be Recalled for Amendment. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 14-As the result of Anding an unintentional error in the Baxter Water bill, placing all, private water companies outside New York City under the Public Service law, the measure, although it passed the Assembly last night, will have to be recalled. for amendment.

The "joker" would nullify the whole Public Service law, so far as it concerns New York City, according to those who have studied the bill. The error was simply in referring to the statute matter as "chapter," instead of "article." CHURCH IS PROSPEROUS. Bethany Presbyterian Holds Its Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Bethany Presbyterian Church, at McDonough street and Howard avenue, was held Monday night. The pastor, the Rev.

GERMANS GIVE MINSTRELS Young Saengerbund Scores Hit With Show in English. The first attempt of the younger set of the Brooklyn Saengerbund at a real American entertainment, was a decided success last night when the sons and daughters of the old German singers presented a minstrel show in English. For more than fifty years, not a word of English was spoken officially at the various meetings, entertainments and festivals of the Saengerbund at its old hall on Smith and Schermerhorn streets. When the women's chorus of the Saengerbund broke the iron rule of the old Saengerbund by singing in English some years ago, the old folks were stirred.

In the meantime, however, the English -speaking members of the Saengerbund organized the "Young Saengerbund" permission of the board of directors of the old Saengerbund. The first affair of this young organization was the big minstrels given at Saengerbund Hall, last night. The show was given under. the direction of George F. Bickford.

H. E. Pettit was interlocutor, while J. Henry Wulpern and Russel Keyes were the ends. Solos were given by Miss C.

Three Homes Robbed--Police Make Arrests. Burglars have been working the last two weeks in the Dyker Heights section, and have succeeded thus far in evading the police. March 28, the house of Louis Stern, 1245 Eighty-third street, was entered while the family was away, and about $400 jewelry was taken in a suitcase belonging to Mrs. Stern. The house C.

Burling, 8101 Eleventh avenue, was also entered when the family was in Florida. The police discovered the windows at the front and side of the house opened and, when they went inside, found the place ramsacked. While Mrs. Joseph A. Nash, the wife of the distributing agent in Belgium for Belgium Relter Committee, was out of her home, 1224 Eighty-fourth street, burglars entered and took a suitcase full of valuables worth about $300.

$32,419,491 WANTED FOREXPENSESBYG.O.P.I Appropriation Bill Just Reported Out, Shows Increase of $2,143,843. $300,000 FOR PRINTING. $700,000 Increase in the Amount Asked for the Educational Department. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 14-The general appropriation bill, totaling 491.67 approximately, or $2,143,843.42 more than the general appropriation bill of the Democrats last year, was reported out the Assembly Ways and Means com Committee late yesterday and that committee immediately went out of business, turning whatever smaller bills it had under consideration over to the rules committee. Accompanying the report of the bill Chairman Macdonald of the committee explained that the increase was due to the inclusion in the measure of appropriations certain State functions provided for in other ways last year, and because it had been found necessary, he said, to take care of certain other obligations unprovided for by the Democrats last spring.

Chief of these, it is claimed, is the legislative printing item amounting to $300,000. Deducting these items from the total Mr. Macdonald claimed the bill would show that the Republicans had really been more economical than the Democrats. The items in the present bill which were excluded from last year's measure and go to make up the increase, are as follows, according to the list in Mr. Macdonald's office: For lock tenders, $340,000, covered in supply bill last year but insufficiently, the Republicans claim, and consequently, another time for $330,000 for this purpose, is included in the general supply bill this year.

For legislative printing, item in last year's bill vetoed by Governor Glynn. For prisons, taken care of last year by appropriation from the capital fund. For workmen's compensation work, $600,000, a subject covered last year by special appropriation bill. This $600,000 is in excess of the special $425,000 already appropriated for the commission. The $425,000 is merely to carry the work to October 1.

The $600,000 item is for next year. For highway work, subject co covered by appropriation from construction fund last year. Representing cost of maintenance of increased prison population, $150,000. Similarly representing increase in population charitable institutions, $300,000. For health officer of the Port of New York, $50,000, a subject also taken care of by special appropriation bill last year.

Increase in Educational Department appropriation, $700,000. Several other smaller increases totaling in all more than $3,000,000, and, according to the claims of the Republicans, really showing that they have worked an economy of $1,500,000 over the bill of the Democrats last THE FIRE RECORD.

Others Are Likely to Die. LIVINGSTON CAN'T "DELIVER." Kings G. 0. P. Chairman Unable to Secure Passage of Bill Mayor Mitchel Favored.

(Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 14-Elections Commissioner Livingston will be unable to "deliver" to Mayor Mitchel on least one of the Mayor's bills included in the list which the Mayor has indicated must be passed if the Kings County Executive Chairman is to be permitted to name the man to succeed the late Otto Kempner as Chief Magistrate. This bill is the Cromwell which seeks to reduce the membership of the Board of Education to 23. The bill is conceded to be dead today, following the blow struck at all school legislation at the present session in the statement of Education Commissioner Finley yesterday. It is believed today that this will result in the killing of all bills affecting the school system in New York City, and probably also will defeat the Cromwell bill, which would permit the city authorities to fix the salaries of school teachers along with all other city and county employees. It is now probable that even the Foley bill, to relieve the teachers' pension fund situation, will also go by the board as the result of the widespread agitation against any legislation affecting schools.

Livingston Counted On at Least Three Kings Senators- Deserted. Livingston believed he had at least three Kings County Senators with him on the Education bill when they went up to Albany Monday--Lockwood, Gila. christ and Lawson. Lockwood issued a statement today breaking away completely from Livingston on this proposition, and Burlingame joined him in a statement that they were for "letting the schools alone" this year. Gilchrist and Lawson, in whom Livbadly yesterday, and finally to announced ingston had the utmost faith, wabbled flatly that they were against the "skidoo" bill even with the most recent amendment making it mandatory upon the Mayor to select the twentythree from among the present forty-six members.

Both said the only kind of a bill they would stand for would be one apportioning the twenty-three members among the boroughs, giving Mayor the right to appoint five and the others to be selected by the borough presidents of the boroughs from which they came. Cromwell said he wouldn't stand for such an amendment, and with that the son support went glimmering. The Lockwood-Burlingame statement, which has killed the last hopes of the Mitchel bill, is in part as follows: "The flood of protests coming both by telegraph and mail from all over the State and including many sands from Brooklyn, indicate that the people of all classes feel by, rushing through a large amount of educational legislation late in the session the impression is sent out that the educational system of the State is being dragged into politics. The Board of Regents, in order to avoid such an impression, agree with us that it is better to heed the requests to 'let the schools SAYS WIFE STABBED HIM. Samuel Fischer, a motion picture theater proprietor, who is suing his wife, Julia, for a divorce, opposed her motion for $30 a week alimony yesterday by informing Justice Blackmar, in special term of the Supreme Court, that she stabbed him once with a brass hat pin and injured him severely, that she induced him to deed his house ar 17 Pilling street to her, and then tried hard to eject him from the place.
