»TAKES UP PANAMA COMPLAINTS.

Discusses Reapportionment Bill—

Woodruff Supports Governor.E*-Governor OdelU who met a number Of his

friends at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday after-noon, says that it looks as ifnearly all the Senate

district lines will hue to be reformed on accountSf the decision of the Court of Appeals In connec-tion with the 2d and llth districts.

There wan a good-slsed round-up of the Odell

men at the hotel yesterday, some of the ex-Gov-

ernor's callers being William C. Warren, of Buffalo:

ex-Superintendent of Public Works Boyd. EdwardH. Healy. Edward Lauterfcach. John P. Wlndolph,

William H. Ten Eyck. George W. Wanamaker.Abraham Gruber. D. HarryRalston. Joseph Loven-

son and William S. Germain."Colonel" Gruber started chsfSns as soon as he

caught sight of the visitor from Xswburg.

•'Governor." said he. "I represent 'The YonkersTwlce-a-Week'. and Iwant to ask you Ifyou are

a 'practical man.""

"Iam not." said Mr. Odell. as he winked at the

boisterous crowd."Well. Mr. Odell. In your Judgment, Is Edward

H. Harrtman a practical man?""In view .of what has happened. Icannot say

that Ithink lie Is." said Mr. Odell.Then the Odell men gathered around a round

table in the cafe of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, cigars

were ordered and Edward Lauterbach sent for acopy of the state constitution.

There followed a lively discussion of the reap-

portionxnent decision. Mr. Lauterbaoh venturing

various suggestions from a legal point of view.Some of Mr. Odell's friends seemed to think thatthe entire county of New York would have to berestricted and that there was a good chance to

oust Herbert Parsons from the leadership. Otherssaid that the Legislature would probably restorethe old lines In Senator Bracket's district, as wellas in ex-Senator Stevens" s district.

State Chairman Woodruff said yesterday that, Inhis judgment, the only changes that would be madsby the Legislature In complying with the decision ofthe Court of Appeals would be with reference to theQueens and Richmond district and the 13th Dis-trict, represented by Christopher Sullivan. Hethinks Richmond will be Joined to Nassau andSuffolk. He said that at the time the lines werelaid down for the 2d and 13th districts there wasgrave question about their status, but that thecommittee in charge did the best It could with adifficult problem. . _

,Asked about the Albany situation. Mr. Woodruff

said: "Iam thoroughly In accord with GovernorHughes on the fundamental principle of the PublicUtilities bill, and Iam confident that Itwillbecomea law after certain amendments have been made.These amendments willnot destroy the usefulnessof the measure. They willmake Itmore practica-ble. In making this statement of my own views Ithink that Irepresent the opinion of the state com-mittee, but.*' he added, with a suggestive smile, "Iwould not be positive about that."

"What willbe the final disposition of the Kelseycase?*"Ihave always regarded it as a sort of judicial

proceeding." said Mr. Woodruff. "The Legislatureisacting as the Jury and Isasking for the evidence.It would be 'out of place for me to discuss thematter while ItIs pending settlement."

ommendation of Court of Appeals.Albany. April «.—On the recommendation of the

Court of Appeals. Governor Hughes to-day com-muted to life Imprisonment the sentence of deathimposed on Leonardo Broncado, of New York City.

Last Tuesday the court confirmed the conviction,aaying: "We. fully appreciate that ther« are cir-cumstances In this can« which, while not control-ling the legal character of the defendant's crime,

tend to diminish his moral fault, and on an appealfor clemency, It may be. should relieve him fromsuffering th-j extreme penalty of the law."'

Broncado shot and killed Francesco Lapaglta onJune 1, 1906. in New York City. The evidence wasthat I.apaglla threatened Broncado on several oc-casions and assaulted him iK-foro the fatal shotwas fired. This Is the first conviction of murder Inthe first degree that the Governor has commuted.Broncudo was t<> be put to death during the weekbeginning May 20.

HUGHES COMMUTES DEATH SENTENCE

Coroner ofOwning Hears of Fatali-ties Will Investigate.

Coroner A. H. Squire, of Ossin!nr. said yesterday

that he would have an examination made of the

hull of the burned steamer City of Troy, whichcaught fire on Friday evening and put Into Gould'spler'at Dobbs Ferry to land her passengers. Thus

far the Citizens Line has not accounted for all the

passengers, and Coroner Squire Is not satisfied thatall escaped. Dr. Squire said that Carl Strom, of

No.. 12 Water street, this city, a passenger on the

steamboat, said yesterday In an affidavit that aGerman who was a fellow passenger tord Stromafter landing? at Dobbs Ferry that his son waslost on the burning steamer.

Strom in his affidavit said that lie boarded theCity of Troy in this city shortly before 6:13 p. m.,

Friday, the hour s.ie sailed. He declared that at

6:30 p. m. he smelled smoke and informed a deck-

hand. The deckhands, according to Strom, did not

exert themselves to fight the fire until it was undergreat headway. He said several deckhands un-coiled a hose and turned en tiie water, but th* hos«leaked badly and had to tie bound with rags.Dr. Squire has heard rumors that Mwnl pas-

sengers were missing, and ho camo to New lor*

to talk with some of the survivors, lie swore in

W. f. Hopper yesterday as a special officer toInspect the hull., Captain Bruder was censured at the scene of the•wreck yesterday because he had not put his boat

Into Yonkcrs. where there is a paid fire depart-ment and plenty of water. The fire was discoveredshortly after the boat left New York, and shewas put Into Dobbs Ferry at 8 o'clock. The crewfought the names until 10:15 p. in., when th^ firegot beyond their control. The Dobbs Ferry nredepartment was summoned. Tho llremen believethey could have savtd the boat if they had beencalled as soon as the steamer was beached. It isa curious coincidence that the wrecked Xortnandie.which was sunt by the Volund mom than a yearage. lies within fifty feet of the wreck of the City

When told of the proposed Investigation by Coro-ner Squire. N. H. Campbell, secretary of the Citi-zens' I,!ne, Bald that ther* were no lives lost onthe City of Troy. He said the company had ahigh opinion of Captain Bruder and approved ofhis action throughout the period of the tire. HeIs one of the b*»st captains wa have." said Mr.Cair.pbeu. "and we will stand by him."

Mr Campbell said the city of Troy was worthabout $190,000 to the company. No estimate hadbeen made yesterday of the value of the generalcargo caried by the steamer. Mr. Campbell saidthat two new steel steamboats would be ready n«xtseason to take the place of the City of Troy andher sister boat, the Saratoga, which was damagedIna collision on the Hudson several months ago.
