LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
CONTINUING cRITTENToN WORK.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: AS Florence Crittenton Mission
workers. we desire TO thank you for your
appreciative notice of the death and the
life work of the late Charles n. Crittenton-
AT the same time. we ask your permission
to correct an erroneous impression which
has gone abroad. and which. IL allowed to
stand. may injure the cause TO which Mr..
Crittenton devoted so many years OF his
hfe- The error probably had its inception
in confusion OF the two words founder
and endowed" which the following facts
will help TO clear up:
Mr. Crittenton was never a millionaire
and never endowed anything. For twenty
six years, up TO the day OF his death. he
did devote by far the greater portion OF his
personal income and every penny he could
induce any one to give him to founding
Florence Crittenton mission homes. The
total funds at his disposal for this purpose
sufficeG to open seventy-fOur homes in
thirty-seven states and territories and sew
eral In foreign lands.
In the beginning. when the work was IN
its infancy. the homes had to be supported
out Of the general funds But Of late years
when once opened each of these homes has
been expected to be sels-supporting. and
only on rare occasions has the national
mission. of which Mr.. CrittentOn was presi-
dent. been called upon to contribute to their
support
The National Florence Crittenton Mission
cannot give continued aid TO it's established
branches except I'm direct emergency. be-
cause its special work is 10 open homes in
new places, and IL is unable to respond to
half the calls made upon IL for such homes.
Knowing that Mr. CrittentOn must be
called away at some time. the national
mission has been striving TO raise an en-
dowment fund to take his financial place
In this home founding. So far the fund
amounts to something over $4,000. but
and this is the point which we desire to
emphasize strOngly-without great addi-
tions TO this fund from friends everywhere
the annual income will never reach the
yearly sum raised by Mr.. Crittenton during
his lifetime, and the growth and success Of
the mission will suffer accordingly.
NATIONAL. FLORENCE CRITTENTON
MISSION.

ASoUITH THE INFlE%IsIE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: A correspondent of The Tribune
says that Winston Churchill lately received
a deputation Of suffrsgists. but that Ameri-
can suffra gists are still complaining OF the
governments refusal to give the English
suffragists a hearing.
Several members of the Cabinet have re-
ceived deputations Of suffragists. IL Is the
Prime Minister, Mr.. Asquith the RESPONSE
ele head OF the government, who. ever since
he became Prime Minister. has refused TO
receive any deputation of women.
Several hundred women. including many
distinguished alike for their good works AMI
their high social position, stood silently at
the doors OF the House OF Commons suf-
frage petitions in hand. for length OF time
aggregating fourteen thousand hours, TO in
dicate their wish that Mr.. Asquith would
receive a deputation. When he still re-
fused they raised the silent siege" and
two of their number went and poured a
mixture OF ink and Photographic chemicals,
Into the ballot boxes at Bermondsey
They said IL was their answer To Mr.
Asquith's refusal" 1t was a foolish an
swer but what shall We say Of the folly
and stubbornness Of the Prime Minister
which gave rise TO IL?
Mrs. Philip Snowden deprecates all vio-
lence; but she says that. as the wife OF a
Member of Parliament. she knows a good
deal of what goes on behind the scenes.
and that the members are furious with Mr..
Asquith for hts obstinacy and want Of tact
in driving matters to such an extremity.
do not believe there is man IN America
In high official position who would let re-
spectacle and much respected women stand
at the gate in sun and rain for fourteen
thousand hours rather than permit them TO
interview him for ten minutes.

WHY SPECIFY?
From The BROOKLYN Eagle.

From The Brooklyn Eagle.
IL II be fact that the carrying capacity
or the QueensbOro Bridge Is about one
halr OF what the original specifications
called for. its value 10 the public is subject
TO a corresponding discount. A rough estt-
mate OF the cost OF the structure Is yl7-
we have $500 Ooo. which is a fairly good
price 70 pay for neglect or incompetency
or collusion.
Part of the story told by the Frnancs
department engineers who have been in
Vestigating is quite interesting. The false
work used for one span was utilized In the
construction of the other. Result one
years delay and great saving-to the
contractor. 10 Is almost superfuous to ada
that in enect. the city paid twice for the
same false work
Why bother with specifications anyway,
They are mere cOntrivances Invented 20

The action of political campaigners in
employing brass bands to drown the
voices of those who were praying at the
polls suggests some interesting queries.
Were they afraid that the prayers
would be heard and would be answered
II they were not drowned with greater
noises? Did they think that the AL
mighty could be deafened with the racket
of a circus band so that He could not
hear the prayers of the faithful? IL
they imputed great power to prayer.
did they dare thus sacrilegiously to in
terfere with It.? Or did they think that
the influence OF prayer was exerted
directly upon the human beings who
heard It? Anyway, ii was a queer per-

RIVERSIDE, May A number of
interested citizens were in attendance
at the city council meeting this morn
ing to see what would be done in the
matter of accepting revised resolutions
for street Improvement. Resolutions
for the improvement of a portion of
Magnolia avenue and of Second street
were recently passed by the council,
but owing to the receipt of information
regarding an amendment to the Vroo-
man act Intended as an alternative act
to be used for the construction of
sidewalks alone, the city attorney has
advised the council that the sidewalks
will have to be left out in connection
with other improvements. According
ly revised resolutions were adopted this
morning.
The contract has been awarded to c.
p. Hancock for the new Freeman &
Patterson block on the corner of Lemon
and Eighth streets. The contract price
was $27,724, exclusive of roof, founda-
ton and elevators. The building will
be of three stories and basement, with
frontage of seventy-two feet on
Eighth street, extending back 15S feet
on Lemon. The contract calls for the
completion of the block by August /.
The good roads committee OF the
Riverside chamber of commerce will
meet with the supervisors at 10 o'clock
tomorrow to discuss the plan for a
road from Riverside to the coast.
#. A. Tetley, owner of the Arlington
hotel property, is preparing to remodel
the building and make a first-class
commercial hotel of it. The building
has been used for some years as a
rooming house.
