Anthony Allaire. OF No. 1e5 Manhattan

every office with intelligence and efficiency.
His chief ambition to-day is to eliminate
crooked politics and crooked business from
official life Having visited most of the
countries of Europe, and having been re

honored citizen of this country, he has a
patriotic pride in seeing corruption ex-

His many cardinal virtues should ex-

Mr. Allaire came into intimate contact

FIGHTING "THE" M'MANUS
Devine Invents Slogan-Dana
Has Strong Committee.

"I am against all that McManus stands
for and / am for all that McManus is
against" is the campaign slogan that is
carrying Thomas F. Devine through his
fight against the Tammany Senator The
McManus in the 18th Senate District.
McManus has depended on the unreason-
ing allegiance of his Tammany organiza-
ton, and in previous campaigns that has
been sufficient. but this year the West Side
business men of Republican and independ-
ent trend. together with Democrats who
were disgusted with the McManus rule
united on Devine, native of the district
who has grown UP and worked there all
his life, and for the first time in years
they say they have chance to upset this
right bower of Murphy.
Mr.. Devine Is real estate operator, and
he has enlisted in his support the best men
in the district. His campaign slogan is
only one OF the many epigrams that he
has invented to show the voters of the dis
trict plainly where he stands. His support
ers are pointing out to the voters the Cfti-
zens Union report on THE" McManus,
which described him as 'the lowest type
of q Tammany legislator"
In the 27th Assembly District, where AS
semblyman Charles A Dana is up for re-
election on the Republican ticket he has
behind him what is probably the strongest
campaign committee TO be found in the city
IT includes the names of many OF the
citys most prominent lawyers and bust
ness men. all registered voters in the dis
trict such as B. Aymar Sands, Henry w
Taft, Isaac \. Seligman, District Attorney
Charles S. Whitman, Bronson Winthrop
Cornelius Vanderbilt and John /. Cadwala-
der.
Mr.. Dana introduced in the Assembly last
year a bill 10 regulate the driving of auto
mobiles. which became the basis of the
present Callan automobile law, and he pre-
pared and introduced the first resolution by
a Republican Assemblyman demand ng a
thorough investigation into all forms of
alleged graft on the part of members of
the Legislature.

lighting Concern, Tired of Suits, Asks
Commission to Fix Rates.

The Queens Borough Gas and Electric
Company, which operates in the 5th Ward
Of the Be. ough of Queens, requested the
Public Service Commission yesterday to fix
the rates which il shall charge for it's prod
uct. This Is the first request of the kind
mat the commission has received and
~hhe no action has as yet been taken, it
seems likely that 1t will be granted. Com
missioner Matbie said Yesterday that ex-
perts would make an examination of the
affairs of the company and may then decide
TO fix maximum rates
The Queens company says since the pro-
ceedings brought by some of it's patrons it
has been under a heavy expense, amount
ing 10 almost much as its net earnings
for the year 1910. Furthermore, it is said
these proceedings took up so much of the
employees time that the regular business

WIFE'S DEED FREES LAWYER
Unable to Pay $4,000 Judgment, Joseph
Martin Spent Year in Jail.

Joseph Martin. who was for more than
thirty years we'll known member of the
bar of this city, was released yesterday
from the Ludlow Street Jail, where he
had been cor Sned since October of last
year. The fac, that Martin is now enjoy
ing his freedom Is due TO the untirinc ef-
forts of his lawyer, Lawrence J. Bershab
who has offices at No. 3O2 Broadway. the
same building where Martin had law Of
fees.
Martins confinement was the result of a
real estate deal which he entered into In
1894 At that time Dennis Sheehan sold
Mrs Martin a piece of property which she
soon after decided to her husband. Sheehan
maintained that he had never received a
cent from the transaction, and Htigati ton
lasting fourteen years followed. a deCi-
sion giving Sheehan Judgment against Mar
tin for 5000 was rendered last wear and
as Martin could not pay ne was committed
to jail.
II is understood that Sheehan consented
to the release of Martin providing some
property owned by Mrs. Martin on Long
Island was turned over to him.
