/FoR The Thursday the key to the
6H:INk9bA solution of Philadelphia's s
hthlAkfA3 problem of rapid transit
PLAN will be placed in the hands
O of the voters here. on that
day, Thursday. April 90, will be held the
special transit election to vote on the
initial loan of SO, 900 900 for n substantial
beginning on the system of real rapid
transit for this city as worked out by
Director Taylor,
Today the Citizens Committee of 1000.
appointed by Director Taylor TO lead in
the transit fight, began the city-wide in
dividual canvass of the voters to crystal
lize public sentiment in favor of the
Sc, 900 900 loan. The IS ward subcommittees
have been completely organized and the
work of the publicity campaign to arouse
the voters was formally launched this
morning.
Each ward committee has mapped out
its own program. A house to house can
vass will be made throughout each OF the
1864 voting precincts in the city and every
duly qualified voter irrespective of party
affiliations will be asked to pledge his
Individual vote to the loan which Is TO
make possible a beginning of the progress
Of real rapid transit for Philadelphia.
Approximately 10000 citizens are quail
flied to vote at the special election, ac-
Cording TO the estimate of the Board OF
Registration Commissioners. At the reg
ular election last November there were
252OO0 registered voters. This number
has been decreased ~ At least 2OOW
through deaths removals and other
causes.
Since this is a special election tho law
makes no provision for those who have
moved from one division to another to
register and vote from their residence.
Neither can those who failed to register
for the November election, although
qualified to vote at that time, registar
to vote at this special election.
The Committee of 1000 is convinced that
it's most difficult task will be, not to con-
vert the voters to support the S6,OOOOGO
transit loan, but rather to awaken them
from their lack of interest and to get
them TO the polls on April 20, Members
of the committee declared today that il
the great body OF the voters will come to
the polls the passage OF the loan is as
sured.
Harry Kuenzel, superintendent of cleo
tions in the County Commissioner De-
partment announced today that all
preparations for the election had been
virtually completed. The Bibles and the
stationery for use in each voting divi-
sion have been procured and the ballots
are now in the hands of the printer, The
cost of conducting the special election
will approximate 100000
The polls will be open from a. m. until
p, m. as ON regular election days The
saloons through the city will be closed
for the entire "a hours on Thursday,
Last night the Executive Committee of
the 9th Ward perfected it's organization
at South 10th street. James II. Homeck-
er, ward chairman, presided.

sided agreement to fight Mike Glib
bons in Grand Rapids the night of
July 5. 1t is one-sided because ne
gotiations have not been entered into
with Gibbons. It will be all right for
the promoters to think about the bat
tie until they confer with the st. Paul
phantom.
Then the bout is liable to collapse.
Gibbons has nothing to gain by fight
ing Gilmore, and the Phantom is
noted as a good business man. The
bout would not draw much of a
crowd, because there is no question
of Gibbons superiority.
Bat Nelson is out again with a
challenge to Freddie Welsh for a title
fight at twenty rounds. So far, Kid
Mccoy has not challenged Jess Will
lard, but in a topsy-turvy world most
anything can happen.
This is amateur night at both the
Forbes and Bernstein gymnasiums,
and some good cards have been ar
ranged between the youngsters of the
ullJI game. DOuCo III oil OAnooA1Oo-
lions will be put on.
The entry list for the 20o-mile walk
starting at o'clock tonight at Mad
ison Gardens rink, promoted by Dan
OLeary, the veteran pedestrian, now
totals 10. August Raddatz, whose
home is in Ispheming, Mich, and
George Stokes, an English walker of
long experience, are the latest who
have agreed to plod through the
grind. Stokes competed against
O'Leary SO years ago, and is eager for
another brush.
Bets are being made that the 300
miles will not be completed within 4S
hours. The race will be contin-
uous, go-as-you-please performance,
so long as the pace does not develop
into trot.

Buffalo 1.
More weak and inopportune hitting
and the Whales are down in fourth
place and rafting loosely, ready to
flop another notch toward the bottom
if the Sloufeds dose them with a
third successive defeat. y. ..r
Pitching certainly isn't responsible
for the recent string of defeats. De-
spite lame arms, Tinker's beavers
have been efficient at every start late
ly and the blame goes on the batting
absolutely. Yesterdays defeat made
five in the last seven games played,
and three of the five were dropped by
one-run margin. That is evidence
enough that the pitching is not at .
fault.
With the season in full swing,
Tinker must experiment to find a
keystone combination that will hold
up it's end both on defense and at
tack. So far he has been unsuc-
cessfuL Jimmy Smith, of whom
great things we're expected, has been
a woeful disappointment In no de-
partment has the youthful Pitts
burgher kept up to the predictions
made for him. His batting mark is
below 200 and his fielding is cratic.
This also has tendency to un-
steady Johnny Farrell, who is too
young to carry the burden of direct
ing play around second base. With a
veteran like Tinker placed beside him
Farrell had no peer as a second base
man in the Federal league. But
with Tinker's influence removed
Johnny has slumped. His hitting has
been affected because of worry over
the fielding department.

guiente carta:
Sr. I~gnacio +. Lozano.
Director de LA PRENSA.
San Antonio. Texas.
Puesto que Sc ]aproXima Ell l6 de
Septiembre, gloriosa fecha para to-
dos los mexicanos lealcs, yo quisic-
RI enviar I'M mensaja de felicitaci6n
' b~enevolencia a La PRENSA y al
Pueblo meXicano cue actualmente sc
e~ncuentra en- Texas. Nosotros todoS,
asi los americanos como los meyica-
nos creemos ell Ia Independence, Ia
libertad, y el patriotismo.
En- estos dias convienen Ia mode
raci0n. Ia j~uSticia de los unOs para
con los otros, y Ia consideration
mutua. acknowledgements la situacion
en- la frontera es muy delicada, y
Dor 10 tanto son enemigos de ambos
paises los que eXcitan Ia antipatia
V apelan i las preocupaciones ma
cionales.
Nosotros los ciudadanos de los Es-
tados Unidos hemos contraido ell ha-
bito n comprrndrr las irmiS rrplibIi
cas- amcricanaS tOdaS junIaS baJo las
denominaciones de ia America la
tina, ia America e~spahola," Y ia
America del Sur" Y algunos entire
nosotros Sc expresan de n manera
fea V enteramente injusta, diciendo,
Dor ejemplo, que "los meXicanos son
bandidos," etc, sin hacer distinction
ninguna entire buenos mexicanos Y
malos. Ash tambien algunos ciuda-
danoS de las rrpiblicaS de- ia .Amf-
RIGA latina" poseen ideas erroneas
acerca de los ciudadanos de los Es-
tados Unidos, ''los Ianquis," Y tie
men, por eJemplo, ia desagradaDic
costumbre de retratarnoS baJo Ia
forma de cerdos. Como un america
no digo que no es agradable leer en-
un p~eriodico eminente Y de gran in
flujo sobre Ia parte Intellectual de su
pueblo una expression como esta: Eel
grosero maquiavelismo de la Casa
Blanca" porque Sc que es injusta y
de mala gracia. La lecci6n para to-
dos es: "Todas las cosas que que
rriais que los hombres hiciesen con
vosotros, asi tambien haced voso-
tros con clos"
Viva Mexico! Vivian los heroes
de 1910!
Respetuosamente,
Tn amigo del pueblo mexicano.

Georgetown, Texas, Septiembre
II de 1915.
