The Jenks bill, minus the amend-rent now goes to the Assembly Rules Committee, which today took over all bills pending in committee, a method of procedure adopted every year in the dying days of the session. The expectation Is that it will die In committee and that no State enforcement act will pass either house this year.

If that be true. Governor Roosevelt will be saved the necessity of going on record on the wet-dry issue in the State. He had indicated strongly that he would veto another enforcement act similar to the old Mullen-Gage Law, the repealer for which former Governor Smith signed in 1923. Wets Jubilant.

By FRANK EMERY iStafl Correspondent The Eagle.) Queens County Court, Long Island City, March 13 Trial of the new Queens sewer and bribe scandal before Countv Judge Frank F. Adel and a blue ribbon jury reached its halfway mark this afternoon as the State turned the stage over to the defense in a session spotted with political fireworks and straight farce.

Harvey, Berg Inferred, had also made improper use of contributions to his campaign last fall. The defense's big sensation, how ever, was the presence in the court room of Arthur H. Ben, reputed kleagle of the Queens Ku Klux Klan. This mysterious figure de cllned to say whether he would, as was reported at the defense coun sel's table, take the witness stand. Harvey concluded his testimony on the witness stand today with a hazing on the Ku-Klux Klan issue at the hands of defense counsel.

Then the State strengthened its case by calling witnesses, members of Harvey's cabinet, to substantiate his bribe charges. Says Harvey Called "FooL" The first, Superintendent of High ways Klein, asserted that Fiank Berg private detective and one of the defendants, had, on March 14 last, complained to him that Harvey was "making a fool of him self" In turning' down $200,000 i year for favoring Anjelo Paino and the allied contractois. Klein testified that Berg urged him to "bring Harvey around that we can all clean up." Defendant Al Levin, politician and Paino follower, was said ty Raymond M. O'Connor, Harvey's assistant, to have repeated the bribe offer to the Boro President in the Boro Hall on Feb. 3.

Harvey's testimony, under the cross-examination of Henry A. Uter-hart, defense counsel, was largely a rapid-fire of "no's" to questions bearing on the Klan. In addition to Piano, the names of former Mayor John F. Hylan, Joseph H. De Bragga, Republican leader of Queens, and Bernard M.

The Boro President's family, Mrs. Harvey, the comely Eileen and Lloyd, moved up to the front row for the fireworks.

Harvey's short stature almost put him out of sight as he sat in tl.e box. Uterhart towered over him. Defense counsel switched from the line of questioning followed at yesterday's agreement he had gotten Harvey to call his failure to file an accounting of the $250 check sent to his campaign fund by Republican Leader De Bragga last fall an oversight In court. Bring In Pay Checks. Uterhart shoved in a couple of $416.66 checks, November and December last, passed by the city to Harvey.

"My calary as Alderman," chirped the witness. This satisfied Uterhart. He then asked Harvey if it were not a fact that he had not received his cer- uncate oi election untu auer May had thrown out a taxpayer's complaint, challenging the validity of Harvey's election.

Albany, March 13 Fighting to tho last ditch against the Republican Interpretation of the mechanics of tho executive budget, Governor Roosevelt today caused a sensation when he exercised to tho limit his veto power over the budget and knocked out $56,000,000 worth of items. He subtracted from the budget total of $249,000,000 every appropriation that would require the approval of the Republican chairman of the finance committees beforo expenditure. The upshot of the matter Is that tho Republicans will have to worlc overtime to Introduce and pass sup plementary appropriation bills to take care of the Items struck out of the budget bill by Roosevelt, al though the method of procedure to bo employed in the face of the Governor's veto is somewhat in doubt. The fact that the Governor hast carried out his threat to use every bit of his veto power on the ex ecutive budget, which the Repub licans passed In mutilated form, was generally regarded here as a sign that ho will make good his promise to veto the majority party's gas tax bill unless the Governor and the Legislature can como to en agreement on tho use to be made of the proceeds. Cuts Out Salary Cash.

Roosevelt eliminated altogether he appropriation of $2,700,000 for tho operation of the Labor Department. He vetoed $852,250 for Attorney General Ward's department, which means that as the matter now stands there is no money for salaries for those working in tha State's Law Department. lie subtracted in lump) sums, including the $30,000,000 nec essary for rounding out the State'1 building program. He knocked down an appropriation of $145,600 for tho maintenance and operation of the Division of Standards and Pur chase. In explaining his action Roosevelt said: "I wish here only to reiterate that the proposal of the Legislature re quiring the approval of two mem bers of the Legislature in addition to approval by the Governor before moneys previously appropriated can be expended.

In accordance witti schedules submitted by various department heads, is contrary to tha spirit and letter of the Constitution of this State. "I am forced to take such dra.stio action because the future of tho executive budget Is at stake. Either the State must carry out the prin ciples of the executive budget, which embody 15 years of effort to place tne aliairs of the State on a modern efficient business basis, or we shall drift into a hopeless situation of divided responsibility for administration of executive functions. Kills Turk Item. "It Is wholly contrary to the whole plan of the American form of representative constitutional government to give two-thirds of purely executive duty to the legislative branch of the government.

The executive) budget was not approved by the people of this State with any such thought In mind. I will not consent; to a precedent depriving the present Governor or futuro Governors of a largo part of the constitutional duties which are inherent in tho office of Chief Executive." He killed oif all the items for tho State's institutions, the prisons and hospitals. Ho knocked in the head the park program, including the moneys appropriated for the acquisition of land and improvement of lands already purchased on Long Lsland. Roosevelt has been determined since the outset that this, the first executive budget provided for by tho amendment to the constitution, shall be handled according to what he believes to have been the Intention of those who drafted tho amendment. According to law, former Governor Smith and his Director of the Budget, Joseph H.

Wilson, conducted hearings, consulted with department heads and made up the schedules. Roosevelt looked them over and changed le.s than 2 percent of the Items. He had no fault to find with the appropriation bill. Skirmish In Legislature. When the Governor sent It to the Legislature tho Republicans and Democrats got Into their first skirmish.

The Republicans introduced and passed bills defining the manner in whldi the budget was to ba handled. They sent it to the Finance Committees instead of making their subtractions on tha floor of the Senate and Assembly. They voted that the approval of Senator Charles J. Hewitt and Assemblyman Eberly Hutchinson, tha chairmen of tne Finance and Ways and Means Committees, should ba necessary before certain of the appropriations could be spent. Roosevelt countered with a statement that the majority party had completely upset the fundamental principle of the budget, that it was the Governor's budget, and with hint should rest complete responsibility.

They came back with the charge that Roosevelt Is attempting to usuip the powers of the Legislature. The Finance Committee reduced the total of the Governor's budget from $250,000,000 to $249,000,000. but Roosevelt's real complaint was with the rules of procedure passed by the Republicans. GEN.
