among old guard Republicans, many OF
whom look upon the appointment as
the beginning OF an open break be-
tween the Governor and the organ
iZation.
The Governor declared he had no
quarrel with the organization, but that
in filing state positions he intended TO
pick the best men.
II have been trying to get Mr.. Straus
to accept this position ever since last
Tuesday" said the Governor. He was
not a candidate, and repeatedly said he
would not accept. II was not until ii

What makes the theft more mysteri-

that the location Of the key could not

astic about Mr. Strauss selection, how
ever.
Whether the appointment Of Mr..
Straus will result in bringing the Pro
gressives into line for his candidacy
for President can best be judged from
the following statement made by the
Progressive state chairman:
at is with the greatest pleasure
he said. that | as chairman Of the
state committee and as a citizen, con-
GRADUATE Governor Whitman on the
Amendment of Oscar s. Straus as
chairman of the Public Service Com
mission. This appointment viii send a
thrill Of pleasure and qualification all
through the rank and file of the Pro-
gressive party, of which he is q mem
Der, and It will be equally well received
by all Of those who take pride in the
high character of such an appointment.
Nationally speaking, IT is en- event Of
TO small importance in the political
history of the year"
No such enthusiasm was noticeable
among the Republicans, however. Those
whose opinions were worth while would
not talk-for publication, anyway. No
fault was found with Mr.. Straus per
sonslly, stress being laid on the fact
that he was held in the highest regard.

Manfreth Fuhrer was called to the
stand 10 explain a loan OF $500 when
he said he had made to W. c. Banks,
president of the n. W. Equipment Com

and that after Wood became a Public
Service Commissioner the INTERIOR
ough's business with the Equipment
company showed a big increase.
He was quite sure that Wood had
nothing TO do with the Equipment com
pany, because Banks had told him so.
Regarding the loan TO Banks, the. lat

ness, so Fuhrer gave him $500, which
has since been repaid.

MAY MOVE HOUSE FOR AUTO
Woman's Car Barred from Own Garage
by Neighbours Pence and Tree.

Mrs. Nellie Fyfe, of 80 Prospect
Street, Flushing, owns neat little
touring car. She also has garage on
her premises. But Mrs. Fyfe cannot
get her car into the garage because her
neighbours fence and tree stand In
the way.
Yesterday Mrs. Fyfe removed bay
window from her house and thought
there would then be enough space TO
permit the machine to pass despite the
tree and the fence. But there was not
enough room.
John f. Weier, Park Commissioner OF
Queens, was asked TO remove the tree,
but found himself powerless when the
next door neighbor of the Fyfes, on
whose ground it stands, objected. Now
Mrs. Fyfe may find it necessary TO re-
move .he house 20 make room Tor the
machine to back into the garage.
