MRS. w. Fl. FELTON, WRITES
INTERESTINGLY OF HER LONG
SERVICE WITH THE JOURNAL

Today, August 25, marks the close of
IL years of continuous service on the
Country Home Column Of The Semi
Weekly Journal. Eleven years is
considerable stretch of time-to carry
on one enterprise without ever falling
to be on duty a single "semi-week" in
all that time. 1t has been real pleas
ure to me, and 1 feel assured from the
letters that are rendered me by hun
dreds Of people, face to face, that my
work has not been in vain.
In all those eleven years there has
not been one discord or cross word be-
tween myself and the managers and
owners OF The SemiWeekly Journal.
They have allowed me to preach from
my small pulpit twice a week-say my
say-and send it out regularly to the
thousands upon thousands who read the
paper. It Is meet and fitting that 1
should bear willing testimony to their
kindness and loyalty, as I enter upon
my twelfth year OF service for them
and the readers Of The Semi-Weekly.
The bulk OF my articles have been
written in the early morning. My cof-
fee, toast and eggs are now ready as
write these lines, and I send a greet
ing to my beloved readers from a wom-
ans undisputed kingdon-the kitchen!
Every morning when I rise from my
bed thank my Heavenly Father that
am able to get up and wait on my
self, for one has no greater blessing at
75 years of age than health and strength
to bear everyday burdens.
My mission has been principally to
women, to mothers, with the cares of
maternity; to wives, who need forbear-
ance and patience; to sisters and daugh-
tiers, who are so needful in the home;
to bring brightness and willingness to
the everyday duties Of life. l value
these things so highly that have add
ed line upon line and precept upon pre-
cept. Not that am so perfect that 1
can speak from my personal experiences
every time, but because there wells up
in my heart a fountain of sympathy for
the welfare of womenkind in every sta
ton in life-that is motherlike in its
sincerity.
The long stretch that lies behind me
the road that 1 have travelled for
three-quarters of a century-has given

INJUNCTION SUIT ORDERED
CentraPs Use of 18th Avenue
Must Cease, Mayor Says.

In accordance with his declaration at
the last meeting of the Board of Estimate,
Mayor Gaynor directed Corporation Coun-
sci Watson yesterday to at once begin a
suit for an injunction restraining the New
York Central Railroad from operating
dummy engines below 30th street on its
West Side tracks.
Although d Cady Herrick, as referee of
the court decided that the road still had
franchise to operate trains on Eleventh
avenue and certain other West Side tracks,
this franchise expressly stipulated that
regular locomotives should not be run be-
low both street Dummy engines have
been used below that point under a special
license granted by the Municipal Council
many years ago. II Will be the contention
of the city that this license has expired.
President Mitchell of the Board of AL
dermen wanted the Board of Estimate TO
request the Mayor to have the police stop
the running Of the dummy engines. His
idea was that the railroad would then get
out an injunction, and the point would be
thrashed out in the courts; but the COM
pany intimated that instead of doing this
it might sue the city for the loss it sus-
tanned. and shippers might do the same.

of Tobacco and Standard Oil litigation.

ClTY'S MOVE FOR ECONOMY
Mayor Wants Law Department
to Handle Franchise Tax Cases.

Believing that 1t is entirely unnecessary
thar large fees should be saddled on the
city for special counsel appointed by the
state in franchise tax proceedings, Mayor
Gaynor has asked Corporation Counsel
Watson TO request the Attorney General
TO permit the city's regular law depart
ment TO handle such matters in the fut-
ure. His letter TO the Corporation Coun-
sci is as follows:
Now that / have carefully examined
into the bills presented by Mr.. Cohaan and
Nj. Cohen as so-called special deputies OF
the Attorney General in franchise tax
cases, l am satisfied that they represent
expenses which should never be saddled on
this city
know of no reason why the Attorney
General with his own force should not
look after these cases: and If he thinks
his force does not suffice, then the Corpo-
ia lion CounSerS staff in this city should
be allowed to do the work Because the
expense of these high-priced special coun-
statute is no reason why the rest of the
state may care very little about their ap-
poinfment or how much they charge.
VIII you be so good as TO let me know
when any more suits or proceedings are
begun under the franchise tax law, so
General not to appoint these special coun-
sci. but to allow Your Office to attend to
such suits or proceedings?
The present Attorney General is q
man Of the highest character, and I feel
certain that he will acquiesce in our re-
guest in this particular.
Mr.. Cohalan's fee was $4,000 and the
amount the city has agreed to pay Mr..
Cohen is s35. coo.

largest yesterday afternoon, woman,
dr essed in a silk lavender gown, with snow

hind her sometimes within touch. was a
keen-eved woman dressed in black.
Finally the former walked out on the
street. and just as she was stepping from
the curb the woman in black placed her
hand on her shoulder and told her she was
under arrest. The richly dressed woman
started in surprise, when the quiet woman
said she was Mrs. Title Brew, a private
detective employed by the department store,
and that she had seen her take several
articles from the counters and place them
in her handbag.
When she was taken to the Jefferson
Market court and searched various articles
were found in the bag. She gave her name
as Mrs Mary Smith. of Monticello, but
Mellen. of No. 81 Riverside Drive, with a
summer home at Monticello. and that she
had a credit account of 500 at the store

an to deposit $500 cash bail drawn from her

At No. 81 Riverside Drive last night it
was said that Mrs. Mary Mellen lived there
but that she was asleep and must not be
