TO INVADE ROCKLAND
Suffragettes Out to Win Over or
Defeat BIauveIt.
WEEK OF SPEECHMAKING
Women Still Hope, However,
Senator Bayne Will
Run Again.

II Assemblyman Blauvelt, OF Rockland
County, would really like TO taste the
honey OF that Senatorial bee that is said
to be buzzing in his bonnet, he had bet
ter watch out for the suffragettes. The
votes-for-women organizations disapprove
Of this Assemblyrlan as much as they
approve Of Senator Bayne, whose seat
he is said to be anxious to occupy. Sena-
tor Bayne, It is reported. having declared
that he would not run again.
Monday. August u, will see the Wom-
ems Political Union starting out on a
strenuous Rockland County campaign,
and If Senator Bayne's successor-pro-
vided he withdraws-!sn't as good a friend
to suffrage as he Is IT won't be the fault
Of the union.
OF course, they won't work for any
canddate-that is against their policy
but by putting spokes in the wheels OF
their enemies. including Blauvelt, they
will produce, they consider, the same ef-
feet.
The campaign will be made in style. in
a motorcar, provided some kind friend
can be found who will loan them the car.

ecutive secretary. is energetically work.
Ing the telephone to that end. Miss
Lexow will be one Of the speakers on the
tour, which is to last five days. Others
Will be Miss Adelaide Sterling, Thomas
Louden and Mrs Louden and Miss Eliza
beth Ellsworth Cook.
The first day there will be three meet
ings-at Spring Valley, Manuel and New
City, respectively. On Tuesday the party
will visit Stony Point, Tompllins Cove
and Haverstraw, and for Wednesday the
schedule is Tappan, Sparkill and Nyack
On Thursday the speakers will put on
extra steam and expose Assemblyman
Blauvelt in his own home, the town Of
Munsey, on which day they will also so
TO Sufern and Ramapo. On Friday, Au-

lending them his motor car Tor the tour,
he explained TO them over the phone
yesterday, is that his wife wants II for
some other purpose. The presiding officer
at Haverstraw and Nyack will be Senator
Bayne?
The reason there's an Interrogation
point after that last sentence is that
Senator Bayne has announced that he Is
going 10 devote the month of August 10
his farm, and the suffragists. though they
hope he can be induced to forsake his
corn and cattle for the brief space they
are asking. have not ascertained to their
satisfaction that he Will.

AFTER A $4,000 JOB
Many Democrats Would Like
Winfield A. Huppuch's Place.
rBy Telegraph TO The Tribune !

Albany, July 22-Although Winfield
A. Huppuch has been anxious for a long
time TO drop the burdens Of his Office as
Public Service Commissioner. he is
still at work. and Governor Dix appears
TO be in no hurry to accept his resigna-
ton The Governor, indeed. is quoted
as saying that he has not received Mr..
Huppuch's resignation, while the Com
missioner is said TO have turned 1t IN
some time ago.
There are numerous Democrats per-
seCtly willing 10 serve the state in Mr..
Huppuch's stead, especially in view Of
the salary OF 900 a year which goes
with IL. They wouldn't dodge the ap-
pointment even If II were for only six
months. or even shorter, at that rate.
Some Of these earnest patriots are won
dering just why the Commissioner can't
have his way and get out They fail TO
understand why Governor Dix stubborn
ly insists on keeping Mr.. Huppuch in a
1000 Office against his will, when there
are so many good and true Democrats
ready to assume the duties-at $4,000
q year.
few Of these men also wonder how
Mr.. Huppuch can be willing TO retire
from a $4,000 place. IL is said the Com
missioner has found tho work of his Of
flee a lot more exacting than he expected
when he accepted II at Governor Dix 8
request. He thought he would be able
10 attend 10 II without serious interior
ence with his private business, but he
soon found that each OF his fellow COM
missioners did a full six days work a
week, and his own share was no less
than theirs.
II became a question with Mr.. Hup-
puch which business TO neglect, for he
found he could not attend to his public
duties and his own business without
sighting one or the other. Hence his
determination TO quit as Commissioner.
The explanation that Governor Dix is
holding Mr. Huppuch in office because
he hasn't yet found the right man TO
substitute for him may be correct, but IL
isn't very satisfactory to the numerous
Democrats who would like to occupy a
$4,000 Office. Each one OF them is GER
tain the Governor could easily find just
the right man for Huppuch's place II ne
really wanted to do so.
II the Governor holds up the resgna-
ton until the end of his term-some-
thing more than one good party man is
beginning 10 fear-the next Governor
would have three Public Service Com
missioners 10 appoint The term OF
Frank w. Stevens, the chairman OF the
board, will expire next February. and
that OF John d. Olmstead will end when
ever the Governor chooses to appoint his
successor.

II. ROAD STARTS WORK
ON JAMAICA STATION
Gains Possession Of Sherwood
Tract in COurt-l5 Minutes
Later Digging Begins.
TO SPEND S3,500,0OO
Fought Broker Two Years for
Land Needed to Abolish Grade
Crossing-Commuters Hope
for Quicker Service.

The Long Island Railroad Company
von a point yesterday in its fight
.gainst J. X. O. Sherwood for the pos
ssssion Of property at Dunton on which.
,ba road declared, the construction OF
che proposed $S,5OOOOO station at ia
maica depended.
Justice Crane, in the Supreme. Court,
Brooklyn, granted a certificate of ne
cessity to the road, which enabled it
Immediately to take possession of the
Mot of ground known as the Sherwood
lot The matter had been in the courts
nearly two years.
When the Long Island road planned
the new station at jamaica it decided
10 do away with the grade crossings of
the main line and the Montauk divi-
sion. and the engineers found it would
he necessary 10 use the Sherwood prop
erty in order TO permit the construction
Of the tracks so the Montauk division
trains could pass beneath those OF the
main line.
The railroad applied TO the courts
for the appointment of a condemnation
commission, and the matter was argued
before Justice Maddox, who decided
the construction Of the tracks as pro-
posed practically constituted the build
ing of a new road, and that ii was
therefore necessary for the road to
apply to the Public Service Commission
for q charter.
The decision was appealed from. The
Court Of Appeals reversed the decision
Of the court below, and ordered re-
hearing
The second hearing was before Judge
Crane, who, although he did not decide
the question Of the appointment of
condemnation commission, permitted
the road to take possession Of the prop
erty and proceed to develop it.
Last night thousands Of commuters
on their way to their homes in the
various villages and hamlets on Long
Island as we'll as other travellers who
we're often delayed, were gratified to
note that work had been started on the
tract. II meant to them that in the
near future the facilities over the vari-
Gus branches of the road would be bet
ter.
The decision of the court was antici-
pated by the railroad. and yesterday.
fifteen minutes after the decision was
a matter of record, several hundred
men went 70 work breaking ground to
change the grades Of the tracks.
Trainoads of dirt to fill in the plot are
ready TO be rushed to the place, and
early completion Of the improvement is
expected.
J. X. o. Sherwood, a broker. through
his counsel, Augustus Van Wyck,
former justice of the Supreme Court,
set up the plea that the necessity for
the possession of the property by the
road was not immediate. Many expert
witnesses were introduced to show that
this contention was sound. These views
were combated by engineers for the
road

FINDS ROOM FOR 5000
Mayors Representative Looks
Into Pushcart Problem.

After an automobile ride through the
most congested sections Of the city, Law
renee L. Drigs, acting as personal repre-
sentative Of the Mayor, estimated that
tnere was room in large, easily accessible
places owned by the city to accommodate
about six thousand pusncart pedlers.
4 market under the arches of the Man
haitian Bridge, he estimated, would ac-
commodate about three thotsand push
carts. This would serve the congested
section in the neighborhood of the bridge
terminal
Another thickly populated section would
be served by a market under the Will
iamsburg Bridge. where there is room for
about fifteen hundred carts. on First
avenue. between Sd and 14th streets, there
is room for five hundred more carts.
All in all, then, the large spaces avail
able below 18th street on the East Side
can accommodate five thousand pushcart
men.
There IS practically no pushcart trade
between 18th street and 10th street The
great pushcart army of Harlem could be
accommodated, according 10 the pedlers'
themselves under the viaduct on Park
avenue. between 111th and 123d streets.
Nr. briggs estimated that there was
room for about one thousand there.

ton were j. G.. Wallace. chief OF the

They visited other comparatively vacant
spots that did not seem adapted for mar
ket purposes. Some were too far removed
from the homes OF the pushcart patrons

Peek Slip and Catharine slip, were needle

They thought this objection held too,
In the case OF the Triangular space on
East Houston street that used 20 be the

There wee different opinions about the
number Of pushcarts with and without
licenses about the city. Mr.. briggs says
the pushcart committee Of 1896 reported
nine thousand and the number had IN
creased rapidly since then. Mr.. wallace
estimated them as twelve thousand but
Mr. Waldman thought both Of these esti-
mates too large.
Later in the day Mr. Waldman told a
Tribune reporter that as result OF
census made by some OF his investiga-
TORS, the number of pushcarts east OF
the Bowery aud below Rivington street
was l,52s. He thinks that there may be
about the same number between Riving-
