Service Commission Re
fuses to Approve New
Passenger Tariff.
NEED NOT PROVED,
DECLARES BOARD
Railroad Proposed Making Uni
form Rate Of Two and
One-haIf Gents a Mile.

Albany, June 10. The upstate Pub
lie Service Commission has refused 10
permit the New York Central 90 put
into effect tariffs proposed to put pas
senger fares within New York State on
uniform basis Of 2l2 cents a mile.
Determining that the effect Of such
new schedule would be an increase
in rates in most instances. the Com
mission holds that the railroad has
clearly not proved its need for this
increase within the provisions Of the
law and court decisions.
The prevailing opinion is written by
Commissioner James o. Carr. All the
other commissioners concur except
Commissioner Emmett, who, dissenting
in part, holds that on the ground that
the proposed new schedules would af-
ford greater uniformity of rates they
should be allowed to 90 into effect.
Chairman Van Santvoord submits
memorandum answering Commissioner
Emmet's contentious and holding that
even the proposed new schedules would
not affect the uniformity which Com
missioner Emmett desires.
In the order denying the proposed
rate schedules the commission holds
that the need for the increases affect
ing the Hudson River division is
clearly improved With regard to
changes on other divisions. the com
mission calls the attention Of the rail-
road to obvious determinations in the
present rates on these divisions and
suggests that they be modified. The
schedules now proposed, however, the
commission finds do not equitably ef-
feet this modification
The commission says that while it Is
possible some Of the minor divisions
OF the road are not paying so far az
passenger traffic is concerned, there IS
no just reason why this burden should
be imposed through generally increased
rates on the patrons of the main line,
where passenger business seems on the
record to be clearly profitable.

cines to permit the New York Central

WIFE DROPS SUIT
AGAINST GRAVES
Order Gives First Hint OF
Action Against Son OF
Wall Paper Man.

The first public intimation that Rob-
ert Graves, jr, son Of the millionaire
wall paper manufacturer, was being
sued for divorce was made with the
filing of an order OF discontinuance in
the Supreme Court. Although two ref
erees had been appointed at different
times to hear the case, its existence
had been carefully guarded.
The young man is a son Of the wall
paper man by his first marriage, the
latter having wed three times since
the death of his first wife. His sec
ond was Mrs. Henry b. Plant. widow
Of the steamship and hotel man; mis-
third, Mrs. Charlotte De Grasse Cat
lin Graves, daughter OF General Isaac
Catlin. whom he divorced, and his
fourth wife, 20 whom Mr. Graves was
married two years ago, was Mrs. Mabel
Lorraine Miller Swan. lie was fifty
seven years old at the time Of this
marriage and his wife was twenty-five.
The former Mrs. Plant left him l,OOO,-
600 and a house besides some personal
property.
There was still another divorce in
the family, when Mrs. Malcolm w.
Ford. a sister Of Robert Graves. OBJ
tained a decree form her husband,
prior TO his killing his brother, Paul
Leicester Ford, the novelist. and him
self.
Mrs Robert Graves, ir., who has just
discontinued her action, was Miss
Agnes l.. Valentine. Of Grafton. Mass
She and Graves were married in 1908
i'm Hartford. Conn, while Graves was
still a student at Williams College
from which he was graduated two years
later Their marriage followed an
e,opement. Ms Graves mentioned
one Hazel Sexton in her complaint. II
could not be ascertained whether Mr.
and Mrs. Graves were again living to-
gether.

Hughes to Make Suffrage
Issue in His Campaign
VIII Broaden Republican Plank to Support Anthony
Amendment, Is Report-Women Voters Angry at
Democrats Call on Wilson to Declare Himself
rrrom s,.r coue.ponacr, Of Tho rrituu.

frror st.r Correspondcr, % Tho Tribune,
Washington. June ls.-From sources
close TO ex-Justice Hughes and Of the
highest reliability it can be stated that
the Republican candidate for Pres'
dent has decided to make suffrage ono
Of the issues Of his campaign.
Although the Republican platform
declares the question properly one for
the states to decide, Mr.. Hughes, 1t IS
affirmed, feels justified in broadening
the Interpretation of the plank to favor
a Federal amendment.
The Republican candidate has boen
impelled to this course by two reasons.
Always inclined TO favor suffrage, he
is understood to have been brought to
see the necessity for national action,
as embodied in the Susan B. Anthony
amendment, If the cause is to succeed.
Second. he and his advisers have
been quick to see the political advan-
tage afforded by the treatment given
TO suffragists at the Democratic con
ycntlon. Even Democrats here admit
that a tactical mistake was made IN
antagonizing women voters of twelve
states. controlling a total Of ninety-one
electoral votes
Instead of the polite "straddle" of
the issue which the Democrats thought
they had effected, they find they have
stirred up a vigorous women's opposi-
tion. bent on defeating the party at the
polls this fall. One result at St. Louis
was that il effectually cured sufragists
of hoping for aid from Democrats.
Their leaders came back from the con
vention thoroughly disgusted and under
no illusions.
Women Unite Against Democrats.
In opposing the Democrats, both the
Woman's Party and the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
find themselves for the first time
in agreement. Miss Anne Martin,
of Nevada, chairman Of the Wom-
ans party, calls the Democratic
plank IAN attempt 10 deceive the
women voters by making them
think it is giving real support to suf-
frage while Withholding the one thing
the party has the power to give" Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait likewise calls
the plank "a mere tumble of words"
and condemns the Democratic betrayal
Even President Wilson's belated word in
favor of the plank does not mollify
suffragist wrath. The original Demo
cratic plan had been TO ignore the ques-
tion altogether But a hurried visit
tf Dudley Field Malone TO the Presi-
dent, after his speech at the Woman's
Convention in Chicago. where his re-
marks were openly ridiculed, brought
tardy recognition Of the seriousness of
the situation. And the tWenty-three-
word plank was hastily inserted.
Since the Democrats action Repub-
hcans have been inclined 10 strength
en- their own position on suffrage. II
Is question how many votes the two
womehs parties can deliver. and the
Republican leaders are not inclined 20
pass lightly over any allies against
the Democrats

There arc 100000 women voters in
twelve states. They are effectively or
ganized. and one party alone has
5000 600 in the war chest for the cam
paign. Their ballots in the Western
states. in many Of which the fight will
be close this fall, must be counted
upon.
SuFragists are also considerably en-
couragcd over reports that Mr. Hughes
has been won over TO support Fed

Hughes Doubts State Action.
The virtual impossibility Of getting
suffrage in many states through state
action is said 10 have strongly inhu-
enced Mr.. Hughes. Amending consti-
tutions. particularly in the East. IS
an almost hopeless task. Thus New
Hampshire cannot submit separate
amendments. but every seven years
votes on a whole document. In lndl-
ana amendments must be ratlned by
two-thirds vote in two successive
sessions Of the Legislature, and then
hy the people, while no two proposals
can be pending at the same time
North Dakota. has similar scheme
with the result that II is practically
impossible to change the fundamental
law of either state.
Consider also the sufragists chance
in New Mexico, where the constitution
cannot be amended for twenty-five
wears. and then only by three-tourths
vote i'm every county IN the state.
What the Anthony amendment would do
would be to declare that the franchise
should not be denied to any citizen
because Of sex, supplementng the
Fourteenth Amendment, which assures
equality for all races.
Republican leaders who favor suf-
frage also point out that the passage
of such an amendment would not nee
essarilv infringe on the platform az
all. II would still be the privilege OF
the state to regulate suffrage IN any
way 10 saw fit: IL could fix whatever
qualifications il chose for ITS voters.
Only the Federal government would say
that those qualifications should not
discriminate IN sex.
As the first step in their campaign
suFraeists plan to make a fresh effort
to "smoke out" the President. The
following telegram was received at the
Whit, House last night from Mrs. Catt'
addressed TO President Wilson:
"Inasmuch as Governor Ferguson OF
Texas and Senator Walsh. of Montana
made diametrically opposite statements
i'm the Democratic convention with re-
card 10 your attitude toward the suf-
frage plank adopted by the convention
we apply to you directly 10 state your
position on the plank and give your
precise Interpretation Of its meaning"
Supulcmcnting this, came the news
that Mrs. Gait. if the Presidents reply
we're favorable. intended to descend
on Congress with a lobby of fifty WON.
en- i'm an effort 10 force the passage OF
:he Anthony amendment.

plank. They prefer 20 await Republl-
can action before committing them
