The strong Tammany districts below
Fourteenth Street show heavy slumps
since 1911, greater than should be ac-
counted for bv the moving population
that is. all except the attn District.
This shows an increase OF about l,4OO,
and IL puzzled political leaders yester-
dqv. The authorities viii probably
look carefully into the status OF every
name found on the books In this dis
trict
OF the Republican districts. the 9Th.
which is the home Of Samuel 5. Koenig.
president u the Republican County
Committee, showed an increase Of $50
over 1911.
other Republican districts showing
on increase are the 23d, an increase OF
73s. and the 21st, II. The 29th Dis
trict. often called the "Silkstocking"
Republican district, showed a decrease
OF sos. and the 18th, 9th and 3lst, also
Republican. showed decreases.
Kings Shows Gain.
In Kings County the notable in
creAses were in the 9th, Democratic,
nnd 10th, Is, 22d and 23d, Republican.
THE largest increase in The Bronx was
tn the 35th District, which is Repub-
lican. The SD. Democratic, showed
decrease.
Chairman Koenig. Of the Republican
County Committee, expressed himself
ss quite satisfied with the registration
figures.
Contrary 70 predictions made by
men versed IN politics, the registration
this year is all that could be desired
said Mr.. Koenig. 1T IS evident that the
people realize the Importance of the
Issues involved in this years campaign
the passage OF the proposed consti-
fulton, the woman suffrage amendment
and the keeping Of Tammany Hall out
OF power In the city.
"1he registration is within 5000 OF
last year in Manhattan, and only II 900
less than in 1913, when the city ticket
was elected. In Analysing the figures,
comparisons cannot with fairness be
made with the registration of last year,
when a Governor was elected in a
three-cornered fight. But the com
parison must be made with the regis
tratiou Of 1913, or, better still, with
1911, which was the last off year, or
one in which general interest was not
aroused By a striking issue.
And 10 is "a satisfaction 20 Repubh-
cans 90 note that compared with 1913
there is falling of Of nearly 10000
In so-called Democratic districts and
only 1000 in Republican districts. As
compared with the registration Of 1911
the loss in Democratic districts IS pro-
portionally larger.
There is a considerable falling off
in the 1st, 9th and 18th Assembly Dis
tricts, and while that may be due in
part TO removals, yet experience has
shown that such persons, when away
from their old local influences, usually
break away from Tammany Hall
THE Republicans are confident IN
view Of this large registration. and
have every reason TO believe that the
candidates OF our party will be ap-
proved by the voters on Election Day"
Tammany Still Hopes.
Tom Smith. OF Tammany Hall, also
was encouraged by the registration
and took issue with the statement
made by Mr. Koenig He said:

CARRANZA Will PROTECT
FOREIGNERS IN MEXICO

Washington, March 11.-Another
note was sent by the United States to
Carranza in reply to his response last
night to the notice that Carranza and
Obregon would be held personally re-
sponsible for the safety of Americans
and other foreigners in Mexico City.
1t is understood to have emphasized
the Importance of keeping railway
communication between the capital
and Vera Cruz open. .
Act Quickly
The second communication was dis
patched so swiftly after the receipt of
Carranza's reply that the impression
prevailed in diplomatic quarters that
the United States had determined in
advance to make representations for
unrestricted passage of Americans and
other foreigners from Mexico City to
Vera Cruz. ....,. 49,.
Carranza's note gave assurances Of
protection for foreigners, and their in
terests, and this is regarded favorably.
Situation Relieved.
On the whole the note relieved the
critical situation but the warships or
dered to Vera Cruz have not been re-
called on the strength of the favorable
developments and the opinion prevails
that they will be kept there indefinite
ly, possibly to take away Americans
and foreigners.
Food Condition Serious
Although officials said that the food
situation in the Mexican capital con-
tinued to be serious, some of them
appear to believe that there had been
an Improvement in general way.
Word of General Obregon's evacuation
Of Mexico City was being awaited and
official advices said that the American
note had had good effect in that city.
While up until early today no re-
quests had come from Americans in
Mexico City to the state department
for transportation facilities, in re-
Spouse to the warning to quit that
city, although efforts were being made
by the department to provide them
with transportation if wanted. ...

FACULTY DlNED With
CAPT. GRANT MARSH
DR.. ACHER SPEAKER OF EVEN.
ING At SOCIAL PROFESSIONAL
MEETING - EFFICIENCY APPLI.
Ed TO TEACHING.

The third Of a delightful series of
social professional faculty meetings
was held in the rooms of the domes-
tic science department at the State
Normal school Wednesday evening.
After a:luncheon had been served by
that department, DR.. R. A. Acher gave
the address of the evening, taking for
his subject: "The Contribution Of
Experimental Psychology to the Prob
lem of Modern Efficiency"
DR.. Acher pointed out that the bet
ter efficiency movement was one that
was coming rapidly to the front in
the industrial world, saving hundreds
of thousands of dollars. and urged that
the same psychological principles ap-
piled to teaching as a profession. He
gave several interesting and pointed
experiments.
At the speakers table was Captain
Grant March, the guest of the faculty.
In referring to the captain, President
Mcfarland said: "We have much to
learn from an active, rugged charac-
ter, such as our guest, yet one who
has lived a simple life. 1t is evident
that the most active men of affairs
live lives in comparatively simple
way. I wish that every educational
institution might study his history for
several weeks and then come in con-
tact with the captain as We have these
last few days. There is much to be
learned in these ways"
Captain Marsh left Wednesday eve
ming for his home, after having had
an experience that he said was diff
ferent from anything else he ever
done.
II had no idea," he said, that we
had any such institutions here, where
they take so much care and interest
in the little boys and girls. 1t has all
been very wonderful to me-"

GERMANY MUST REQUlTE
FOR VESSEL DESTROYED

, can sailing ship William P. Frye by
the German converted cruiser, Prinz
Eitel Friedrich now at Newport News,
before deciding on what action to take.
A report was expected today from the
collector of the port at Norfolk, be-
fore whom the Frye's master and crew
were to appear to tell their story of
the vessels capture and destruction.
Meanwhile an immediate decision
by the board was looked for on the
question of how long the German raid
er might remain in port to undergo re-
pairs and what disposition should be
made of the more than 800 survivors
of the various ships she had cap
tured. Every Indication, it was said
led to the belief that the cruisers
captain would elect to intern the ship
until the end of the war. Captain
Boy-Ed, naval attache at the German
embassy, was reported to be on his
way to Newport News to confer with
the German captain on this point.
Official Washington was stirred by
the sinking Of the Frye. It was held
that the vessels cargo of wheat, bound
for Queenstown, could not be classed
as contraband and that therefore the
ship was not subject to seizure. Some
officials asserted that the incident on
it's face bore the appearance of an
unfriendly act which must result in
diplomatic exchanges with Germany.
Not Considered UnfriendIy Act.
If the destruction of the Frye were
considered an unfriendly act, it was
understood the United States probably
would seek the usual honorable
amends as well as reparation for the
owners. Since the warship and her
officers are under the jurisdiction of
the United States, owners of the Frye
and her cargo can institute libel pro-
ceedings to recover for loss of their
property.

Bismarck, March 12.-As an indica-
ton of the increase in the live stock
business of the state the applications
for the installation of stock yards re-
ceived by the railroad commission

rotary Gushing, of the commission,
was showing a bunch of applications
that have been received in the past
few days and he stated that there

ing ship Frye. 1t is also agreed that
unless Germany voluntarily offers to
make restitution for the loss of the
Frye and expresses regret for the oc,
currence, the matter will be made the
basis for a communication of strong
protest and demand for reparation.
May Make Reparation. -
It was considered probable today by
officials that Germany after being ap-
prised of the facts, would admit the
error of the naval commander and
agree to make the usual reparation.
Some officers thought sufficient
amends, after the payment of dam
ages, would be the communicating OF
the German officer.
TO Conduct Probe
President Wilson stated a searching
inquiry would be conducted. He made
it clear at the state department that
the action would be entirely disasso-
ciated from questions arising from the
entry of an American port of the Eli
tel desiring time for reapirs. The YES
sci could therefore depart, leaving the
questions raised by destruction OF the
American ship to be settled through
diplomatic channels.
