FAIR LILLIAN MAYOR
Mother Was Once Candidate In New
York, So Why Shouldn't She Run
In Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh, March Git was in
1888 that Cynthia Leonard ran for
Mayor of New York, the first and on
ly woman who has actually gone be-
fore the voters of the metropolis and
asked their suffrage for the highest
Office in the gift of the municipality.
In 1917, 29 years after this interest
ing event, Cynthia Leonard's daugh-
ter may be candidate for Mayor of
Pittsburgh. She is Helen Louise
Leonard, yclept Lillian Russell, yclept
Mrs. Alexander P. Moore.
Miss Russell has the Mayoralty
germ in her blood. She is a Pitts
burgher, and as her mother had back
of her newspaper-for her father,
Charles Leonard,was editor and own
er of the Weekly Herald of Clinton,
Iowa-so the daughter today has
back of her her husbands newspa-
per, the Pittsburgh Leader. Besides
Miss Russell has well defined ideas
on what Mayor should be and
what a Mayor should do.
Il had never hoped for political
Office" she said today, but l feel
like my mother felt back in the latter
eighties when she ran for Mayor of
New York and l am now seriously
considering entering the race"
ION what platform will you run
if you become a candidate for Mayor
of Pittsburgh, Miss Russell was
asked.
II would do everything in my pow
err" she said, etc make it impossible
for any child in the city of Pittsburg
to work before reaching the age of
Is. That was one of the reforms my
mother advocated 80 years ago. 1
would try to save little boys and girls
from having their brains and bodies
overtaxed in shops and factories or
in tenement workrooms. would ad-
vocate and emphasize the necessity
for school lunches for poor children
until there wasn't a single hungry
child at any school. 1 would go fur
Their than that; l would have every
child get medical, dental and optical
attention free.
1.-The problem of unemployment is
one which should be solved by the
city. If were Mayor l should like
to see that every person who wanted
a job had one.
Il would 40 my best to give the
city businesslike administration,
conducted on lines of strict economy
As businesslike woman myself,
know exactly what that means. The
chief reason why l want to vote is
because l pay three kinds Of taxes
on my property, on my income, and
my business-and l think | ought to
nave something to say about what is
done with that money"

TELLS OF RE:VENUE
from CYSTEI S
Hannah Writes Senator Prick Con-
corning The Oyster Question.

Annapolis, Md, March 10.-Sena-
tor Prick today received from Mr.. 3.
Howard Hannah, of Baltimore, the
following letter on the oyster prob
lem:
Il am in receipt Of your letter Of
March 4, asking me for an estimate
of the probable revenue that would
be received by the State of Maryland
if your bill to lease out all the oyster
grounds in the State should become
a law. The natural beds, as survey
ed by the State and Federal Govern
ments, contain about 100000 acres.
In addition to this, there is further
area of 100000 acres Of tirst-class
oyster land. Then there is another
area of about 100000 acres of land
well fitted for oyster culture, but
which would require large capital for
it's full development.
THE natural beds laid out by the
survey above mentioned. Holland
leased its natural beds for $21 an
acre. All the authorities concede the
fact that the Maryland oyster lands
are equal, if not superior, to the 9TH
er oyster bottoms of the world.
THE second area OF 100000 acres
above mentioned. EInlueul ieuel dl
experts have stated this lana to be
quite as good as the best land Of
Rhode Island. Rhode Island receives
a rental of from ST to $40 an acre
for all Of it's land.
THE third area of 100000 acres
mentioned above. This land, in the
judgment of experts, ought to be
leased in time for rentals varying
from 81 to IS an acre.
Professor Brooks, in his report of
1854, after speaking of the revenue
received by Rhode Island, states:
On the same basis, our revenue
should be more han S6,0O0,00O a
year.
Permit me to add a statement
| which is not responsive to your in
quiry Under the bill which l have
just finished, a moderate estimate of
the annual revenues to accrue to the
State would be S1,000,000 a year.
This bill sets apart for the oyster
men all the areas marked out in the
State and Federal survey, and pro-
vides for the application of one-half
of the revenue to the replenishment
of the natural beds.
while l answer your questions l
should like it made clear that l stand
| for the proposition l made 25 years
ago. 1t is briefly this: The natural
| beds for the oystermen; the barren
bottoms, with full protection, for the
oyster planters. Respectfully,
''B. HOWARD HAMAN."

FORTUNES IN SHIPPING
Profits Made On The Ocean Run Into
Big Figures.

The profits now being made in
ocean shipping are illustrated in a
report sent by Lorin A. Lathrop,
United States Consul at Cardiff,
Wales, which gives authentic figures
published by the president of the
Cardiff Chamber of Commerce. One
of the instances given was OF YES
sci of 6100 tons dead weight that
had earned a profit of S3153 in a
voyage to and from the River Plate
from June to December, 1914.
Freights were low at that period, and
after charging interest on capital
there were no profits left. Today the
merce said the vessel could be char
tered for Rio Janeiro at $10.33 per
ton, and back to the United Kingdom
profit for the round voyage of four
months would amount to S193, 900.
He mentioned another vessel of
300 tons register, built in 1910 at
a cost of S204,390, that had been
chartered for II months at $3.50
per ton, dead weight, per month.
With everything running smoothly
and no accidents, the gross earnings
of this vessel to the owners would
amount to S553,990. The running
expenses, including war risk, would
amount to $4,000 per month, leav-
ing a net years profit of S413,990.
The ship would thus twice pay for
itself in year.
What of conditions after the war?
Those who buy or charter vessels at
present rates are gambling that the
conflict will last long enough for
them to reap harvest. Still, even
if peace is near, they maintain that
there will be a scarcity of tonnage
for at least year after the treaty
is signed.

A BUSY P. M.
 f0R JUDGE WITTY

Judge F. O. Twitty put in a busy afternoon Tuesday, con- ducting the preliminary hear ing in two important cases. At two o'clock Ed Emerson who had been lodging a warrant for several weeks had a hear ing on a charge of aggravated assault. Emerson was bound over to the Superior court in the sum of $500. Patsy Park CT who claimed to be the assaulted party, was put under $1OO bond to appear at Elmer sons trial as a chief witness.
 At 4 o'clock Simplicio Tor reg had his preliminary hear ing on a charge of burglary. Torrez was charged with breaking into the barn of the Pitman Valley Land and Cattle Company and taking there from 8 bales of hay. Torrez was bound over to the Superior court in the sum of $2,00O.
 Simplicio Torrez was dis charged from the county jail a few days ago, where he served a sentence of 30 days for as- sault and battery. He was lodged in the Williams jail Monday night and during the night tore up the furniture and succeeded in getting hold of the hatchet used by the jailer in building fires. Secreting the hatchet in his sock he appear ed in court with it hidden. The hatchet was discovered when TorreZ was taken back to jail. He claimed his intention was to break out of jail with the aid of the hatchet, but it is suspect ed that he meant to make other use of it, since he had threaten ed the life of the Judge.
 Torrez was taken to Flag staff on No. 10 Tuesday night and lodged in the county jail.

STRANDED IN WILLIAMS

MT. A. Taube, wife and eight children arrived in Williams from Denver, Tuesday night, practically stranded and un- able to pay for a nights lodg- ing. Judge Twitty gave them the use of his office with the privilege of coal for a fire.
 The Taube family left Port land, Maine, several months ago in search of health for the mother. The Portland doc- tors told her that she must have change of climate, preferab- ly warmer. With an auto fit ted as we'll as possible for fam fly life the Taubes made their way south as far as Baltimore. They then worked west and finally brought up in Denver where they remained for five months, MT. Taube and the oldest boy working for the city while there.
 Failing to find health for Mrs. Taube, which was the ob- ject of the trip, the Taubes struck southwest, determined to make Phoenix. They had considerable machine trouble and by the time they had reached Williams, their funds were about gone. Warmed and rested, the family, resumed their journey on Wednesday morning. They expect to be able to reach Phoenix about Saturday. They will have travelled fully 5000 miles in search of what has so far prov ed an ignis fatuus, health for mother.
