Mrs. Natalie S. Laimbeer's two SUIT
Of S250.000 each against the Long ISL

ment being reached for settlement of
the suits. II was reported the railroad

$780, 900. and that the offer had been
taken under advisement by Mrs. Lain

riding. was struck by a Long Island

Public Service Commissioner Hay

the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
to stop certain semi-express trains on
the Fifth Avenue line at Third Street

John j. Dempsey, superintendent OF

on an indictment charging him with
failing to comply with an order OF the
Public Service Commission.
The order was issued by the com
mission in May, 1912. The b. r. I. let
it go unheeded until last June, when
Commissioner Hayward caused the ar
rest of Dempsey Magistrate Dodd

against Dempsey on n technicality.
Mr. Dempsey was astonished at the
turn of the case. Through his at

and was released on bail of 81 900. He
obtained permission from the court to

MRS. GAIT ROUTS BUGABOO
Suffragists' Figures Prove Foreign
Voters Safe.

ITS all right for American women
maybe. but think Of ignorant foreign
ers voting
This bugaboo Of the anti-suhragist
was attacked yesterday by Mrs. carrie
Chapman Gait, chairman Of the Empire
State Campaign Committee.
"Anti-suTragists profess wild alarm
over the prospect of letting into me
electorate l.06s. 1888 foreign born WON
en-. There is no such prospect, SAID
Mrs. Gait. "Only All per cent OF the
foreign born men become voters; That
percentage of the women would add
only 439.l35 foreign born women votes
to the electorate. whereas the incom-
ing army Of native women voters
would number 1,l99,O35.
"Sufragists take issue with the ants
sduarely as TO the undesirability of
the immigrant woman voter. Her
thrift. her ennobling concern for her
children's advancement, her kindllness
as neighbor and friend, her first hand
contact with life's most vital problems,
all combine to make her a personality
valuable to the state in the capacity OF
citizen"
