For Primary Frauds
Republican Nominee Goes
Into Chairman's District
to Deliver Attack

William NJ. Bennett, Republican
nominee for Mayor, delivered five cam.
paign speeches yesterday. He addressed
a convention of negro ministers OF the
city at ST. Marks Church, West Fifty
seventh Street, in the afternoon; the
Federal Republican Club, in the 9th As
sembly District, Manhattan. of which
Samuel S. Koenig, president of the Re
publican County Committee, is leader;
two other Manhattan meetings and one
in Brooklyn last night.
Mr.. Koenig was the Republican lead
er against whom Mr.. Bennett directed
most of his charges of "irregularitiess"
in the Republican Mayoralty vote in
the primaries. Mr.. Bennett dwelt upon
the recent primary frauds as the big
issue in the campaign while speaking
in the 9th Assembly District. He also
deplored the fact that the Union
League Club and other Republican or
carnations had endorsed the frauds"
by declaring for Mayor Mitchell.

Union League Club, at Thirty-nlnth
Street and Fifth Avenue" said Mr.. Ben

Sulzer Asks Hylan,
What Did You Promise
Ex-Governor Says Murphy's
Men Are Pledged to "Stay

Speaking of Judge John F. Hylan

dote concerning Charles +. Murphy.
Mr.. Sulzer said that when he was
Governor Mr.. Murphy asked him to do
something for him.
"'But that would be criminal |

quest, and Mr.. Murphy. he related,
said:
"Sulzer. you're the first man l ever
let get nomination without mailing
him down by east iron promises. and
you'll be the last"
Mr.. Sulzer expressed the opinion that
he was, and went on TO Judge Hylan,
propounding the following questions
for the Tammany candidate TO answer:
What did you promise Charles +.
Murphy you would do in the way of
Standing hitched? What promises have

Mayor Asks Bell to Let
Hillquit Speak in Camp
Wants General to Give Rival
Chance to Address Upton
Soldiers

Mayor Mitchell yesterday sent the
following letter to Major General j.
Franklin Bell, in command of Camp
Upton:
Dear General Bell: | am in receipt
of a letter from Mr.. James j. Bagleyi
chairman of the Hillquit Non-Partsan
League, protesting against the exciu-
sion of Mr.. Hillquit from the privilege
accorded to all the other candidates of
addressing political meetings at Camp
Upton.
Every one knows how completely
disagree with Mr.. Hillquit and how
utterly | abhor the un-American and
unpatriotic doctrine that he breaches
II does seem to me, however, that it is
only fair that every candidate should
be accorded the privilege extended TO
any. If Mr.. Hillquit's doctrine is trea-
sonable, it is violative of statute law,
and he should be dealt with there
under.
"If it is not reasonable, but is mere
" abhorrent to decent, self-respecting
and patriotic Americans, it surely will
only have the effect of intensifying the
fervor of the splendid young men who
are gathered at Camp Upton as part
of the new National Army"

The Board of Elections yesterday

Hillquit Says T. R.
"Appeals to Mob"
Only Thin Veil Covers Call
to Suppress Socialist
Sedition, He Asserts

Morris Hillquit, Socialist candidate
for Mayor, declared last night at 4
campaign meeting in Lyric Hall. Forty
second Street and Sixth Avenue, that
Colonel Roosevelt and the American
Defence Society were making "a thinly
yelled appeal 10 the mob and physical
violence" in calling for the suppression
Of Socialist sedition" by 1.-THE force Of
public opinion"
II was the declaration of the Social
list party that it was opposed TO war,
he said, which had aroused the Amer
lean Defence Society to call for
vigilance corps" Socialists, he as
serted, were opposed to war, but also
they were opposed TO separate peace.
Their aim, he said, was to have the
Emitted States take the lead in OBJ
tanning a complete peace which would
give advantage TO neither side.
1--WE want peace and early peace,
he said, "but let me repeat again what
we cannot repeat too often: We do not
stand for a separate peace which would
save our own skins and leave the un-
fortunate nations of Europe to their
own destinies. We want a general. ne
gotiated and permanent peace which
ould bring relief 10 all countries in
volved in this insane and disastrous
war.
Eve do not want German peace or
a Kaiser peace There is not party
nor a class Of people, including
Colonel Roosevelt and his fellow mem
bers on the vigilance corps who are
so unalterably opposed to the Kaiser,
Prussian junkerism and militarism
and to Kaiserism, junkerism and mill
arism in all lands, as the Socialists are,
and emphatically assert that Social
list victory in this election would be a
mortal blow TO autocracy in Germany
and in all other countries.
"The aim Of the Socialist movement
is not to withdraw one country or one
set of belligerents from the combat for
the military advantage of their enc
mics, but to make the peoples of all
countries stop the international car
mage simultaneously and to bring peace
to the whole world on terms which will
give no advantage to either side and
guarantee the world against the recur.
renee of war through the triumph OF
international democracy.
1--WE want our nation, the great Re-
public OF America. to take the initla-
tive in bringing about such a peace"
Mr.. Hillquit also addressed the Pro
fessional Mems Hillquit League at the
Broadway Central Hotel and made sew
eral speeches in the Brownsville Sec
tion of Brooklyn.

Hylan, Decrying
Budget, Wants to
Spend 2 Billion

Judge Hylan, Tammany's candidate
for Mayor, has announced on numerous
occasions that he favors municipal own
ership of all public utilities. Repeated
w. after making tnis statement IN a
campaign speech, he has criticised the
extravaganza of the present Fusion adj
ministration, holding up the 1918 budget
of approximately S240, 100000 as the
most glaring evidence of this.
Yet, in advocating municipal owrer-
shin of utilities, Judge Rylan, accord
ing to William Il. Ellison, financial
expert. is advocating an absolutely un-
heard Of expenditure of the money OF
overtaxed New York. Mr.. Ellison points
out that the Tamrany candidate, VINO
attacks the Fusion budget, will, II he IS
sincere in his statements and is elected,
spend eight times the total OF the
budget, or nearly $4,000, 100000, on mu-
nicipal ownership. Roughly, that IS
what it will cost TO bring all of the
public utilities of greater New York
under the control Of the lily.
There are at least 140 public utility
companies" Mr.. Ellison says. all or
part of whose property les within the
City of New York. Conservatively esti-
mated. the cost of acquiring the physl-
cal property of the principal local utili-
ties. excluding companies which do a
large business outside the city, would
be at least SS40,000000. distributed
among the following groups:
Gas property ..................$l $50. 1000, 900
Electric plants ............ .... llO.UVV'VV0
Electrical subways ............. oOOOp.NOO
Water works ................... b,oVV.uVV
Street railways ......-.......... leVVVV,VVV
Elevated roads and suhWays
company investment only CO.. 36l 100000
Steam and refrigersting plants. 100000
"The estimate for elevated railroads
and subways includes only the property
actually belonging to private companies
and the investment which they are max
ing in city owned iles. 1t does not in
clude any Of the property or contribu-
tions of the city.
IAN estimate Of railroad, telephone,
telegraph and other wire companies
which perform more than a local bust
ness Is much more uncertain. II is
probable that the cost of their property
within the city, without any allowance
for severance damages, would exceed
$3.50 900, 000."
This, Mr.. Ellison points sut, amounts
TO total expenditure of si,l90,000 600
These estimates are based on ante-war
price scales. II 'he appraisal were
based on current costs the financial ex-
pert says. the total would be at least
81, s0O,OOO,O0O for all the public utility
properties within the city.

ASSIGNS QUOTAS FOR DRAFT
Missouri Must Furnish 1860 Men
and Kansas 6,43o.

Washington. July I3.-The toll Of
manhood that each state must furnish
to Americas citizen army was an
nounced by the War Department to-
day.
The figures are based upon a first
draft of $4,000 men. In assigning
the quota of each state the War De-
partment used the federal census
population estimates.
New York leads all others with Co.,
24I. Oregon is asked to yield the
least, ~. Missouri will furnish 49,
600 men and Kansas 66,43o.
Many of the Western states quotas
are unusually low because the regis
tration was only 50 to 80 per cent OF
the first estimates OF the census bu-
reat,. Other states in the Middle
Wcst-Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois--ran
over the estimates by 10 to 20 per
cent. Hawaii has already furnished
its full quota to the national guard
and regular army.
The quotas were sent to the gov
ernors of each state and territory
and the commissioners of the District
Of Columbia, who were directed to
apportion the quotas through the dis
trict exemption boards. Allowance is
made for men in each state in the ma
tional guard and recruits in the reg
ular army since April +. The credits
were subtracted from the gross
quota. In this way states that have
answered the Presidents call for vol
unteers will carry lighter burden
than the other states
Missouri's net quota of men will be
1860.
The total strength of the national
guard April I, 1917, was l64,2o2, and
I83,7Io men were enlisted between
April and June 80. The total of re-
cruits for the regular army between
April and June 80 was 1894, or a
grand total of 465,o8s men.
This means that, according to the
estimates Of the government officials;
the United States now has enrolled
or under arms approximately 100000
men in the regular army and national
guard. The navy and marine corps
have more than 10000 men. Il

DISASTROUS FIRE!
PROPERTY LOSS
INTO THOUSANDS
Newton Garage Destroyed. Build
ings in Seese Block Badly
D Damaged.

NewleH RFes. Garage, on s5outf
Main street in this city was complete
ly destroyed by fire Thursday even
ing. The Seese block at the south.
east corner of the SQUARE was badly
damaged and the home of Lon Ray
was destroyed by the oil and gasoline
j. fed flames which spread with incred-
ible rapidity.
The fire, which originated in the
rear end of the garage, was discov-
cred at about 6:3o o'clock while the
workmen were at supper and in only
a few minutes the entire interior was
in flames. The alarm was immedi-
ately turned in and the fire depart<
ment responded at once. but the in
tense heat and the dense black smoke
which filled the building made en-
trance impossible.
Reaching the elevator in the center
OF the building, the flames spread to
the Mcfarland & Sons buggy display
room on the second floor and in a
few moments broke through the roof.
The fire department worked heroical-
ly to check the flames, but the water
pressure was deplorably weak and in
spite of their utmost efforts the
flames were communicated to the
Seese block across the alley to the
north and the residence of Lon Ray
on the south. The roof and interior
Of the buildings of the Seese block
were badly damaged and it was only
with the greatest difficulty that their
destruction was averted. The resi-
dence of Mr.. Ray was practically de-
stroyed and barn at the rear was
burned to the ground.
Seven automobiles were destroyed
in the fire, four Of which were owned
by the Newton brothers. The cars
of Jos. A. Flammang, Hayden Ray
and Frank Egglcson were destroyed.
A touring car belonging to Paul and
Julius Levy and Ford belonging to
the Newton boys were saved. Two
motorcycles, belonging to Lyle Ar
genbright and Weltmer Jenkins were
destroyed. Newton Bros. loss is es-
timated at $4,000. No insurance was
carried. the policy having expired
only few days ago.
The garage building was owned by
and Sons and their loss
on the building and stock of buggies
carried on the second floor is esti-
mated at $1,000. $4,000 insurance was
carried. A buggy and harness be-
longing to Jim Wolfe, valued at $Ioo
was destroyed.
The damage to the buildings in the
Seese block is placed at $1,000 and
was protected by insurance in the
amount of $45oo. The Igoe pool hall
in the Seese block was damaged to
the amount of 5000 and the Crouch
Bros cleaning establishment suf- {
Tered loss of 5000.
Several other buildings caught fire {
from the flying embers which filled z
The air when the roof of the garage
building collapsed but these were +
quickly extinguished.

buildings was badly blistered. {

We wish to express our appre-

paper In regard to the worthy
president of our Tacoma Pierce

Mr.. ID. ID. A. Outcalt, and to say
that we were very proud of our

In this connection would say
that we think 1t would be a good

these writeups in behalf of some
of the other public-spirited men
who have been and are doing a
great deal of quiet but effective
work along civic lines. Many of
these men-in fact, the majority
of them, are men who have much
business of their own to look
after, but who unselfishly devote
much time to the public good.
They do this work month in and
month out and the general public
knows little or nothing about 1t.
If the rest of the community real
lied the amount of public work
that is being done by some of the
business men of the city it might
make some of the rest of LIS
ashamed that we do so little, and
in this way start some more men
to doing something along these
lines. We know of a few of these
public-spirited men such as Mr..
j. A. Peasants, Mr.. F. C. Brewer,
Mr.. A. B. Howe and a number of
others, and as citizens of Tacoma
we would like TO see some of these
willing workers given little pub
licity and credit and praise for
the work they have been and are
doing right along day in and day
out.
In California they have a say
