Mrs. Gait Urges Women
10 Uphold State Body

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait appealed
TO the members Of the Equal Franchise
Society yesterday not TO add their IN
huence to the division of forces in the
state" This was interpreted as move
TO stop the wholesale desertion TO the
Congressional Union, which has been
going on since the defeat of the woman
suffrage bill on Election Day. The Con-
gressional Union is young, and us
methods picturesque enough TO tickle
the faded fancy of many suffragists
who are tired of street meetings, and
dread the long, dull road to another
election day.
The meeting for organization OF the
New York branch of the Congressional
Union will be held on Saturday. follow

KUROKI, NOSELESS DOG,
MUST WEAR A MUZZLE
Mrs. Knoblauch, Who Spent Day
in Jail, Loses Fight for Pet.

Kuroki. the noseless French poodle,
must wear horrid muzzle. The harm
less little canine, who fought to es-
cape the wire ENHANCEMENT, has finally
lost in the courts.
This was the announcement-hail
as signal victory made yesterday by
the Health Department in the case Of
Mrs. Mary B. Knoblauch, the bankers
wife, of the Wyoming Apartments,
whose attempt to have the Health De-
pertment's anti-muzzling regulation de-
clared illegal has met with failure.
Her day spent for the noble cause in
the Yorkville prison now appears to
have been in vain.
Since January Z, when its mistress
was served with summons, Kuroki's
case has been carefully watched by all
dog owners, not TO mention Health De-
partment officials. II first came before
Magistrate Freschi, who held Mrs.
Knoblauch in 500 bail for trial. A writ
followed, and kennel clubs and dog
owners throughout the state flocked to
the cause, but Judge Lehman would
not permit Kuroki to wander the
streets muzZleless.
Then came the jump TO the Court of
Appeals, whose decision was made pub
lie yesterday by the victors. This body
said in substance that the regulations
Of the Board of Health were superior
and paramount 20 those passed by the
Board of Aldermen.

CARRANZA RESENTS
DINNERS HIGH COST
German Who Charged $4,000
Pesos for Meal Is Exiled.
~, Telegraph To The Tribune

FL Psso, Tex, Nov. 23.-Expelled
from Torreon and from Mexican soil
because he charged $4,000 pesos for a
dinner served to General Venustiano
Carranza and his party when they
were in Torreon recently, Carlos Ster-
nau arrived in FL Paso to-day. He is a
German, and has conducted a hotel and
cafe in Torreon for years.
When Carranza nnd his party of
friends and ofiiciais visited Torreon
during a tour of Carranza territory it
was decided to have state dinner.
After the feast Sternau was asked TO
present his bill. He did so, putting
the figure at $4,000 pesos. The price
was declared by Carranza TO be ex-
cessive.
The bill, it is said, was paid, but
soon afterward Sternau was told to
leave Mexico. He does not know
whether his hotel property is to be
confscated. Sternau, it is said, will file
a protest through the German Embassy
in Washington.

WOWAN'S LEAGUE
HITS GARY FOES
Denounces Methods of Attack
as Unfair, Adroit and
Untruthful.

The Womsn's Municipal League
charges opponents Of the Gary plan
with using unfair tactics. In the latest
issue of its publication, women and
the City's Work" the league protests
against the methods used in recent
meetings to make it appear that the
parents Of the city are in opposition
to the proposed reorganization Of the
schools
In the protest i: Is said, with in
creasing frequency during the last
weeks meetings have been held in the
name of the Parents Association in
various schools, in which it has been
made to appear that the parents of the
city are rapidly becoming aroused
against the Gary plan. 1t may well
be that in certain sections, and as the
result Of adroit methods, certain par
ents are being stampeded into protest
ing against the Gary system, but the
league maintains that the great mass
of parents IN the city have not suffi-
cient information upon which to base
any attitude as yet, either for or
against the plan. The official reports
of DR.. Writ have not been printed for
wide distribution, the criticism of his
opponents Is not available except in
incomplete form in the press, the two
schools on the Gary plan in New York
City have been running for less than
q year, and neither has as yet the full
. al nv
Gary programme.
"The Womsn's Municipal League
asks that the parents associations and
tho mothers clubs join it in protesting
against the presentation Of only one
side of the question; the deliberate
misstatement of facts; the condemning
of the whole plan because Of disagree
ment about unessential features Of it,
and the passing of resolutions as the
result of only one mass meeting and
without opportunity being given the
members TO study the plan for them
selves and verify the statements made
on the platform"

$500 CITY HEADS
0VERPAID, HE SAYS
Prendergast Hints Some of Sue
Salaries Might Well Be
Made $4,000.

Controller Prendergast, discussing
his budget for the Finance Department
for 1915 before the finance committee
of the Board Of Aldermen yesterday,
declared that some OF the $500 heads
Of city departments did not render SER
vices equal 70 those Of certain employees
who receive less than 5000. He I'M
timated that some OF the $500 salaries
might well be reduced.
The Board OF Aldermen, however,
has no power over such salaries, as
they are mandatory. The Controller
took occasion 10 defend certain salary
increases in his department. He de-
clared that Daniel Moynahan. collector
of assessments and arrears, whose SAL
AIRY was increased from $4,000 to $4,000.
did more work than several OF the
heads of departments. He said the
salary ought 10 be at least $4,000,
though he feared that il would be re-
garded as too great a raise.
The committee decided not to reduce
the salaries of any one getting $4,000
or less, but il would take no stand re-
garding the elimination OF new posi-.
tons paying any amount.
A letter from Henry II. Smith. for
mer Park Commissioner of Manhattan,
suggesting that there still might be q
large saving IN the 1916 budget in the
departments exclusively responsible TO
the Mayor, was referred to the finance
committee. Mr.. Smith said that al
though it was charged that the Me-
Clellan administration in 1909 had q
pG .ded budget for administration ex-
penses Of from Sl5.O0000 20 s25. 000.-
900. the administration in the succeed
ing five years. exclusive of public
schools, had spent over Sl2,500.000 q
year more than was spent in 1909.
In submitting Mr.. Smiths letter to
the finance committee, Alderman Cur
ran pointed out that in proportion TO
the growth in population and natural
increase in administration expenses the
allowances for conducting the always
growing business of the city had de-
creased.

1882 SUICIDES
RECORD FOR 1914
hoboken Remains Eighth on List
of Cities, Having 24-San
Francisco Still Leads.

Along with other records the year
1914 brought bumper crop OF suicides,
according to F. L. Hoffman, statistician
of the Prudential Insurance Company.
A total Of 1882 persons took their
lives in 100 cities in this country, a
rate Of 2O.3 for each 1000 of popula-
ton. This is the highest rate since
1909 and the third highest for the last
twenty years.
With 6lS suicides. the boroughs OF
Manhattan and The Bronx have rec
ord of 20.2. Brooklyn. with 234, has
rate of 1875. Figures for the other
boroughs and for the entire city have
not been recorded.
It is quite possible, Mr.. Hoffman
says. that the relatively low rate OF
suicide in Manhattan and The Bronx
is in part accounted for by the opera
ton of the Sullivan law, prohibiting
the carrying of firearms, with adequate
penalties for violations.
Hoboken, with twenty-four suicides
and a rate of 1913, leads all the New
Jersey cities and lives up to its repu'
tation by being placed eighth on the
list Of cities compiled. At the top OF
the list stands San Francisco, with 23i
suicides and rate of 52.4. Again the
fvures show that suicide is committed
more frequently on the Pacific Coast
than in the East, because San Diego,
Sacramento, Los Angeles and Oakland
all in California follow after San
Francisco. In all these cities the rate
for 1914 was in excess OF their rates
for the previous ten years.
Three times as many men as women
commit suicide, the figures show, and
the favorite method for men Is shoot
inc. Almost one-fourth of the women
victims take poison.
Mr.. Hoffman concludes his study OF
suicides with the remark: Laws or
municipal ordinances governing the
sale of poison at the present time seem
not to be properly enforced in many
communities. il reliance can be placed
upon the published circumstances IN
individual casc5. Much the same con,
clusion applies to the sale Of firearms.
