CLEVELAND FOR PURE
WATER, CHEAP LIGHT

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Nov. 2s.-.
"Three-cent light"
What does that mean?
Think Of a three cent fare" and
you have the answer.
Newtown d. Baker, apostle of the
late Tom L. Johnson, is the standard
bearer Of the ''three-cent light" slo-
gan just as Johnson was the leader
In the finally successful war for cheap
street car fares in this city.
Baker. who was recently elected
mayor by the greatest plurality ever
given a candidate In this city, is to-
day one Of the most interesting fig
ures in municipal politics.
In special interview Baker out
lined his public service intentions in
these words: Efficiency and hon
esty in the administration OF the or
dinary affairs Of the city; justice in
the relations between public service
corporations and citizens"
Said he: Those were the city gov
ernment ideals of Mr.. johnson. /
shall strive to perpetuate them. You
might say that the general idea is
an ideal municipality. Mr.. johnson
dreamed and fought for Cleveland as
city set upon high hill He
meant that Cleveland should provide
for its citizens. not merely a place In
which to work and live, but place
for rich enjoyment of life's comforts,
general health, equal opportunities,
free education and general prosper
ity. His three-cent fare fight was
merely one phase of general ideal"
The platform upon which Baker
was elected pledged his administra-
tion to take up the fight for honest
government where Johnson left off.
Bakers first move will be to take up
a fight for "three-cent light"
through the erection of a municipal
electric light plant,
THE people as a whole are pro-
gressive In spirit said Mr.. Baker,
"and 1t is not to them that arguments
must be made. The fight comes from
the other side. Our working out OF
the plan for municipal lighting
plant has just begun. A study must
be made Of the cost Of production and
the business of the city run on an
honest, efficient basis. What we ex-
pect to accomplish through the NUM-
cipal plant is to furnish lights for the
homes of the rich and poor alike at
a minimum cost of production, with
maximum efficiency at a minimum
price to the consumer. Then the city
can compete with the present mon
opoly aud high prices"
1t was suggested to Baker that per-
sons outside of Cleveland believed
the city was. working OUT its prob
lens in socialistic way. but without
regard to party.
Not at all" replied the mayor
elect Socialists are In favor OF
ownership, but everyone
that favors municipal ownership is
not a socialist. Every city has its
problems to solve in Its own way. We
will take up the subject of water fill
tration in Cleveland along the same
lines that the lighting question must
be handled.
III It is shown that the water
reaching the city's residents is i'm
pure then we must find way OF fill
tration; and again dealing honestly,
with the greatest efficiency and at

4NDIVlDUALISM AS A KEY TO SUCCESS" CLEWS
 TREATISE THIS EVENING
Banking Baron Speaks at High School Before Teach
 ers' Association

Henry Clews of New York, head of the banking house of Henry Clews & Go. in Wall street, is thoroughly con- versant with the subject, Individual ism AS a Key to Success" on which he will speak this evening before the Bridgeport Teachers association at the High School assembly hall. Mir. Clews is the second of three national speakers of repute whom the Teach CTS association are bringing to this city.
 MT. Clews' banking activities eX- tend over a period of more than half century, with his interests for the most part located in Wall street, New York. During that long period he has been one of the moderate factors at that financial center and thorough ly appreciative of all that has tram spired and the development of ma terial resources in this country and elsewhere. His subject is one on which he has spoken before many as- sociations and one which he treats with all fairness from many points of view Though we'll possessed of worldly goods, MT. Clews has so lived. that he is well conversant with the other side of life. AS man high in the financial kingdom, one whose word is eagerly sought, his lectures attract more than universal attention. Because of the repute of this even ing's speaker, there has been a big public sale of tickets, the people of the city evincing great interest in the coming of this financial king.

ANTl-BUCKETSHOP
 LAW IS DECLARED
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Special from United Press.)

Washington. March 30.-A sweep ing decision declaring the anti bucket shop law unconstitutional because of am mbiguity, was rendered, today, by Judge Wright, of the District of Columbia Supreme Court. Indict- ments against 8 alleged bucketshop proprietors in Washington, Baltimore and Chicago, arrested in simultaneous raids by the Department of Justice, last May, were ordered dismissed.
 If sustained by the higher courts, the decision, today, will frustrate the governments campaign against buck etshop gambling throughout the coun- try.
 The 13 defendants, including Ed ward Altemus, Louis Celia, Angelo Celia and Samuel Adler, of Chicago; Henry R. Duryee and Charles R. Al ley, of Washington; c. A. Tillis, Will liam Fox, Robert Hall, Samuel Ray mond, Oscar Ruphen ,E. M. Brown ing and Henry C.. Stumpf, of Balti- more, were indicted May 23, 1910 by the Grand Jury here, charged with violating that portion of the District code which prohibited stock market gambling.
 Wholesale raids all over the coun- try resulted in the arrest by Depart ment of Justice agents of a score or more brokers. Six of these pleaded guilty and were fined. The remaind- CT were released on bonds. Justice Wright declared in his opin- ion, today, that the language of the statute was "so broad as to prohibit all contracts An appeal will prob ably be prosecuted.
