Albany, Feb. 8--The Baumes Crime Commission's "fence" bill got two additional recruits today in the persons of Assemblymen Joseph Esquirol 21st A. Democrat, and Edward J. Coughlin, 11th A. 2 Democrat.

Coughlin helped kill the "fepce" bill last year. He will vote for the amended bill this year. Esquirol, a new legislator, declared his support cf the measure. "There is no doubt but that the 'fence' is the master mind of said Assemblyman Coughlin. "We must get at him and stamp him out.

I believe that the new bill provides some safeguards for innocent men. I will vote for it. But if it is found defective in any serious way, or if it is found that the new law works against any one, I will as certainly vote against it one year from now, if I am returned to the Assembly." Brains of Criminals, Assemblyman Esquirol took the view that the man who receives stolen goods quite often is the brains of criminal deals and, as such, is much more of a menace than is the thief. He, too, favors the bill, with the proviso that it be given a year's trial. Senator Caleb H.

Baumes, chairman of the State Crime Commission, announced that a hearing on the score of the anti-crime bills will be held on Feb. 14, at 2 o'clock, in Albany. For the purposes of the hearing the Senate and Assembly Codes Committees will join together. It will be the only public hearing on the Crime Commission's bills. Passed by 130-6 Vote.

The Baumes bill, authorizing judges to sentence second-degree murderers to from 20 years to life, passed by a vote of 130 to 6. It was passed by the Senate today. Its passage, however, came only after Assemblyman Burton D. Esmond, Republican, of Saratoga, vice chairman of the Commission, had raged against his Lower House colleagues who were fighting the bill. He charged them with "standing between the public and the "You are standing here holding down the hands of the courts," he fairly shouted, "so they cannot exercise the discretion that you are always pleading for.

At present the courts cannot impose the sentence they would like to in the cases of many desperate characters who are convicted of se murder." Under the present law, a judge cannot impose a sentence of more thar 20 years on a second degree murderer. THREE HOLDUP MEN GET YEARS EACH Three young holdup men were sentenced to Sing Sing Prison for from seven and a half to 15 years each today by County Judge McLaughlin. They will serve about six years and nine months each. Michael Skrzypko, 18, of 215 Sheffield and Chester Czerwinski, 21, of 154 Sheffield were sent away for holding up Max Futernick in his delicatessen store at 553 Hegeman ave. for $200.

Morris Piscopo, 27, of 2922 W. 15th was sentenced for the holdup of Aniceto Toro in his drugstore re at 4719 8th ave. Judge McLaughlin also sent William P. Keefe, 25, of 137 W. 49th Manhattan, to the penitentiary for his part in driving the bandit car in the $579 payroll robbery of Elsie Itzler of 504 Ashford on Jan.

11. WOMEN'S CLUB VOTES SILENCE ABOUT CLASH At a closed meeting of the executive board of the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs yesterday at the Hotel Astor the members pledged themselves to saying nothing more about the personal disagreement between the president, Mrs. Harry Harvey Thomas, and the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Alexander W. Whiteford, which almost disrupted the convention on Friday.

Mme. Belle de Rivera, honorary president and founder of the Federation, urged that the whole matter be allowed to drop. She explained no officer could be arbitrarily removed from office by another officer. MOVE TO FORCE L. I.

TO END GRADE PERIL Recommendation that the city force the Long Island Railroad to show its hand in court, if necessary, in relation to the plan now before the Board of Estimate and Transit Commission for elimination of Atlantic ave. grade crossings by depressin the tracks and constructing a spacious interboro boulevard overhead, is made in a resolution adopted by the Union Course Civic Association, one of the oldest organizations engaged in the long fight to eliminate the Atlantic ave. grade crossing hazard. The association has unequivocally indorsed the elimination plan recently presented to the Board of Estimate by Joseph V. McKee, President of the Board of Aldermen, which also recommends a four-track subway along Atlantic ave.

for the future. The railroad is said to have rebelled at the suggestion of paying half the share of depression costs, favoring, as it does, the method of elimination, which is much cheaper. APPRAISALS BUONAGURA, LAURA (Feb. 15, 1925). Gross estate, net, $11.248.

Six sailors of the Coast Guard fleet are said to be in the brig, awaiting court-martial, in a mysterious case in which all officers are maintaining the strictest secrecy.

Commander E. C. Addison of the station is home on sick leave. No other officers were willing to discuss the situation. Two theories have been advanced, however, one that the compasses were ruined in a plot with bootleggers, and the other that the damage came after several sailors went on a wild spree.

In the New York offices of the Coast Guard it was said that situation in Cape May was "Cape May's own affair." WILLS FILED OLSON, JOHN E. (Jan. $1,500. To six nephews, two nieces and a sister-in-law, each one-ninth of the residuary. O.

HOLD UP GRAY WILL GIVING WIFE $1,000 Two Residences Make Docu- ment Faulty. White Plains, Feb. 8 (AP)-A copy of the will of Henry Judd Gray, recently electrocuted with Mrs.

Ruth Snyder for the murder of her husband, was received through the mail Surrogate Slater today but was not accepted for probate. The reasons for this were that the document gave two "residences," one of them being Sing Sing Prison, and that it was a copy and not the original as the law requires. It was said at the Surrogate's office that the double entry under residence might make the will illegal. The copy was merely held, pending the next move of Samuel L. Miller, Gray's attorney, who was not in his New York office when the copy arrived.

A touch of mystery was contained in the will in that it made a bequest of $1,250 to Miller to establish a "the nature of which he will know." Other bequests in the copy of the will were $1,000 to Mrs. Isabelle Gray, described as "my beloved wife" and whose address was given as Norwalk, Conn. GRADE CROSSINGS.

The Welfare Council here is to appoint a special committee to co-operate with the Commissioner and to see whether the State can relieve the situation through its public works program.

Should reports show a serious state of unemployment the Governor, it is felt, would have valuable data to use against prosperity claims in a Presidential campaign, but no hint of any such intention was contained in his letter.

The court's opinion read, in part: "This court is appreciative of the motives which have led the members of these associations to initiate this proceeding to clear them the of the profession dear to practices and practitioners that have aroused the criticism which has been directed against the acts complained of, and which must inevitably weaken public confidence in it, unless are promptly taken to ascertain how far the criticism is justified; and such abuses in so far as they are found to exist, and to take such remedial measures as may be found advisable to prevent the danger of their recurrence with such disciplinary action as may be found to be required by the proof adduced. Agreed Upon Power. "This court is agreed upon the necessity of the investigation prayed for, and it is of opinion that it has the power to direct it, as a necescorrolary of the powers expressly conferred by statute on this court, as well as an indispensible part of the inherent power of the Supreme Court." Pointing out that the judiciary law confers power and control over attorneys on the Supreme Court and the Appellate Division, the opinion continues: the power thus granted to the Appellate Division is not limited merely to the trial of charges against lawyers but extends to a preliminary investigation thereof, is made clear by the provision of another section of the judiciary law authorizing the presiding justice of the Appellate Division to make an order directing the payment of the expense of such an investigation." May Exercise Powers.

"This proceeding," the Court held. "is one primarily based on the right of the Supreme Court, under the statute, to exercise power and control over attorneys and counsellors at law. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has and may exercise all the jurisdiction and powers that are vested in the Supreme Court." Elsewhere in the opinion the Court held: "In the matter at bar the petition discloses a condition which may require the disciplining of a number of lawyers. Clearly it is the duty of the Court to entertain the petition and, when it determines that the situation requires further investigation, to nominee set afoot to the an end inquiry that by the its facts own may be ascertained and those deserving of discipline may have it meted out to them." Must Seek New Remedies. "The fact that no precedent exists in this State for such an investigation is no answer to the prayer of the petitioner.

The jurisdiction of courts, in so far as not restrained by constitutional or statutory limitations; must of necessity adapt itself by new remedies to new conditions. The Civil Practice Act recognizes this, when, under the heading 'General Powers of Courts of Section 63, Subdivision 3, it provides that such courts have power: 'To devise and make new process and forms of proceedings necessary to carry into effect the powers and jurisdiction possessed by Cogent Reasoning. "The recent precedent in the State of Wisconsin is based on cogent reasoning in the Supreme Court's opinion and meets the entire situation here presented. The results of that inplete and lasting reforms of the evils vestigation showed a the way to com- there proven akin to those complained of in the petition herein." The scope of the investigation 1s set forth in the conclusion of the opinion, which reads: "The prayer of the petitions herein will be granted and an' investigation will be ordered into the abuses complained of. This investigation will ba conducted by a justice of the Supreme Court sitting at special term with full power to summon witnesses and to compels the the giving production of of testimony, books, as papers, and other documentary evidence.
