WOMEN ON DUTY TO STOP FRAUDS IN N. '. VOTING
Suffrage Amendment Holds Chief Interest in Today's
 Election.

New York. Nov. 2-<Women were on duty in every election district of New York city as. watchers for the cause of woman suffrage when the polls opened at o'clock this morning. Pro- posed changes in the conktitution the the only statewide issues before the voters of New York today. A new constitution was submitted for popu- lar approval but the suffrage ques- ton appeared on the ballots as 8 dis tinct proposition calling for separ- ate vote.
 While the suffrage organizations have conducted a careful campaign throughout the state, the concentrated efforts of this element is not without strong opposition by the antis.
 In addition to the proposed suffrage amendment the people of the state today voted upon proposals regarding taxation, reapportionment, the issu- anca of $27.O00,0O0 in bonds for the question of permitting the legislature to change the rate of interest on cer- tain debts already incurred. The taxation and reapportionment propos- als were among those submitted by the recent constitutional convention.
 Fair and comparatively mild wealth CT was promised throughout the state. Although the polls will close at 5 D. m., the number of questions submitted and the variety Of ballots probably will delay the count on the constttr- tionaI questions.

"HELP WANTED" IS ADMIRABLE PLAY
 FOR LYRIC CAST
Cecil Spooner In FaVorite Type of Character Wins
 New Admirers.

It would be hard to find a merrier or more interesting play than Help Wanted" which Cecil Spooner's com pany is presenting this week at the Lyric theatre. The favorite opened her eleventh successful week sin this city last vening with-a this entertain ing comedy. Miss Spooner has another of the, girl parts which she portrays so realistically, and which have made her popularity here surge to a high mark. She is Gertrude Meyer, the little stenographer, who is the ''bone of contention between father and son. PeH Trenton is seen in the part of Jack Scott, the son, in which he scores another decided success.
 Edna May spooner, Cecil spooner's talented sister. plays the part of Mrs. >Jerrold R. Scott, Jacks" mother. She was an immediate favorite with last evenings audience and they only wished that she might become a reg uIar member of the. company
 By far the most unique character of the play isN that of Mrs. Meyer, Gertrude's decidedly German mother. Reta Vil1ers plays the part with a realism that kept last evenings house in continuous laughter all the time that she was on the stage and won for her storm of applause.

CLOSE ELECTION IS ASSURED IN
 MASSACHUSETTS
Walsh and Mccall Are Equally Confident of Be
 ing Governor.

Boston, Nov. s2-Indian summer weather aided the political party man Sagers today and the rush to the polls in, the early hours gave promise of an unusually large vote in the state election It was generally predicted that the race between Governor David l. Walsh Democrat, seeking re-elec- tion, and his Republican opponent, former Congressman Samuel w. Mo Call, would be closes
 Because of the complication of is- sues that have been raised during the campaign the leaders of the majority parties admitted that the result would be dependent largely on the number of ballots cast for the prohibit ton, progressive and socialist candi- dates.
 en suffrage amendment to the con- stitution was fully as keen as in the contest for the state ticket. Near the polling places in most of the cities and many of the towns women were on hand early, prepared to stand throughout the day displaying ban neES asking for Votes for Women The anti-suffra gists, who have made as vigorous a campaign as the sup porters of the amendment, planned no demonstration today Both sides expressed confidence in the outcome.
 The voters also registered their opi1ions on constitutional amend ments for taxation reform and home steading.

GREECE MORE FAVORABLE
 TO ALLIES CAUSE NOW.

London. sOct. 2---In official Greek circles an attitude more favorable to the entente allies apparently has been assumed. Reuter'a corresp ondent at Athens telegraphs that simultaneous ly with the official denial of reports of Greece'sS hostilitys toward the en- tente powers came a change in tone of the ministerial press which is now publishing articles in favor of the al- lies. These articles presumably are inspired.
 Notwithstanding the drift of opin- ion, it is maintainedN that the neu- traityF of Greece will be adhered to as long as possible.

DETROIT TO VOTE ON
 MUNICIPAL RAILWAY

Detroit, Nov 2-With officers from the organization known as the Honest Election League, on duty at (every precinct and with at least $7,0O0 in rewards offered for the arrest and conviction / of illegal voters. Detroit began voting today on. the municipal street railway question.
 The polls were to be open until g o'clock tonight and it was expected the vote would be the heaviest cast here in years.
 To carry, the plan must receive a sixty per cent affirmative vote.
 For years all efforts of the traction company to obtain new franchise grants have failed. As a, result, while the population has increased with great rapidity, street car service has not kept pace, and the referendum therefore is said to have aroused the personal interest of most of tahe vo- ters. The lines have been operating for the most part on day today agreement, with tickets selling seven for a quarter at all times except dur ing the two rush periods, when eight for a; quarter must be honored. Only on a few miles of track on the old Pingree three-cent fare lines are the eight for a quarter tickets good at all hours. st
 If municipaHzation carries the trac- tion system will be managed by three commissioners serving without pay. They will be James Couzens until re- gently ce-president of the Ford Mo tor Car Co.,; John F. Dodge of the Dodge Motor Gar Co.,, and<James Will kie, of the Parks-Davis Chemical Go. Criticism of the plan includes Sopini on that it will make a political football out of the lines. To this answer is made that the commissioners will have complete power, that the mayor is pledged to retainSin office the comnnis- sioners named, and that the comnis- sioners have agreed to stay in office. Labor organizations have objected on two grounds. namely, that the plan will invalidate the arbitration agree nents between the company and the union, and that the civil service prA- wise of the plan will weaken if it does not disrupt the union.
 That the voters do not know pre- cisely what the lines will cost is an other objection raised. An appraisal of the lines by Prof. B. ". Hemis gave the value of the property as $17.- 900, ,00o. At one time the company de- clined a municipal of $23,285, 900 for the 1ines. According to the present plan the valuation will be fixed by the circuit court of Wayne County (De- troit). The plan provides that a rate of fare sufficient to meet all obIiga- tions shall be charged, and1it has been argued in some quarters that this might result in a higher rate
