campaign in Minneapolis opened only
Monday.
In the New York district, the Buffalo
sub-dstrict is making the poorest
showing, with only IA per cent of its
allotment subscribed. On the other
hand, Long Island, outside of New York
City, is leading all rivals, with a sub
scription equal to 80 per cent Of it's
quota. In New York City, the Long
Island boroughs, Queens and Brooklyn,
are also ahead.
To make up the steadily increasing
deficiencies of the first nine days of
the campaign, the people of the Second
Federal Reserve District will have to
rally and collect 75,159,4OO fighting
dollars on the average for the remain
ing days of the drive

40, 900 Women to Vote
On Syracuse Liquor

SYRACUSE, April 7.-Forty thou
sand women registered during the two
days for the special local option cleo
tion to be held April 1s. This has
brought the total number of voters in
the city up to 76,609. and election off
cials are now puzzled as to how they
will be able to provide for this number
to cast ballots one week hence.
Politicians were astounded to-day on
learning that 10000 women had regis
tered. This is $1,000 above the best
estimates made, and unless some hur-
r1ed arrangements are made, rtsistrict-
ing, the city wards and providing sew
eral more polling places. it will be an
'mpo,ssibility to accommodate this
number. Because of the brief time in
which to prepare, there is talk of seek
ing q postponement of the election un-
til proper facilities can be made. Dry
leaders are enthusiastic, declaring tn at
the large registration of women voters
assured the city of being voted dry.

Burr, and then follow the fortunes Of
Philip Nolan back again to the present
war. one is going to enjoy MY Own
Dnlred States as presented at the
Rivoli this week.
VI course. every one has time these
days to see war pictures, and so no
one IS gong to fancy that the picture
Is too long, although it runs for two
hours AS it stands, however, it is
not nearly so long as it was when it
was shown privately a few weeks ago
at the same theatre.
i, Arnold Daily plays Philip Nolan of
the present day, Philip Nolan. "the
man without country" and Philip
nolan, lieutenant of the Civil War.
Da!y IS seen first as young college
student, who believes that the war was
made for warriors, and says in effect
Il should worry" when his father
urges the necessity of defence.
SO his father tells him a story. It
s the story of "the man without a
country"
Most of the picture. for the first five
reefs at least, is concerned With the
fortunes of Alexander Hamilton and
aaron Burr. 1t is not until after the
famous duel that DAILY is seen to any
great extent
Some Of the best work in the picture
IS done by Duncan McRae as Hamil-
ton. He has natural dignity and
charm, which we are quite sure Hamil-
ton must have possessed. He shares
the honors with the star
Charles Graham is Aaron Burr and
sydney Bracey is Captain Rene Gan
tier.
After the death of Hamilton, Philip
Nolan is tried for treason and it is
then that he pronounces those fatal
words Damn the United States,

again" He got his wish.
The picture shows Nolan's life as an
exile on the various ships and finally
his death. It is here that DAILY does
his best work, and the appearance. even
the feeling of extreme age, which he
gives is remarkable. Then he story
takes Philip Nolan, Sd, through the
Civil War, and finally shows the up-to-
date Philip enisting in the present war
Mr.. DAILY stepped out on the stage at
the end of the picture last night and
made four minute speech on the Lib

a wonderful display of enthusiasm.

New Daylight Saving Schedule
Proves an Unqualified Success

A week on the new daylight schedule
has completely won over the city to
the merits of saving sunlight. No war
time conservation requires less sacri-
flee or pays better returns.
With a minimum of Inconvenience.
the city awoke week ago yesterday or
the summer schedule, which will pre-
vail through to the last Saturday in
October. By now the change has al
most been forgotten, except that the
days seem longer than usual.
Many merchants report that artif-
cial light is no longer necessary in
their stores at the end of the day. Not
only is there q saving on the electric
light bills to the merchant. but the Gus
toner has the advantage of an extra
hour in which to select fabrics in
natural instead of artificial light.
In many homes artificial light has
become unnecessary during the even
ing meal. and there is also opportunity
afterward for recreation before the
approach of darkness.

Ransom Condemns
Proposed Utility
Control Change
Thompson Bill Uniting Pub
lie Service Commissions
Held Unworkable
Good Old Days Again
Measure, He Says, Virtually
Will End Regulation and
Increase Expenses
Good OldDays' Again

The Thompson bill which passed the
Senate last Thursday and IS now in
+hs Rules Committee of the Assembly,
nurporting to create one statewide
puhljc Service Commission of ten
members in place of the two existing
commissions. was condemned severely
Yesterday by ex-Justice William l..
Ransom. chief counsel for the commits
sion of this district. Mr.. Ransom
analyzed the measure in report made
to the commission.
There are many artful jokers in the
bill" said Mr.. Ransom, (Which will
deligh. the hearts of those who wish
to make public regulation unworkable.
The measure would cripple, and vir-
tually end commission regulation in
this state; it would be far more hon
est to abolish the commissions alto
eether, save the salaries and let the
Appellate Division for the Third De-
uartment do what little regulating is
to be DONE"
Judge Ransom pointed out that the
ten proposed commissioners are in fact
to be split into virtually four new
commissions, each with its own staff
Of subordnates and employees for the
mcst part exempt from civil service
rules. He continued:
"The Thompson bill ought to be en-
titled q measure to abolish the powers
Of the commissions, but leave all the
Offices in existence for salary pur
noses. 1t is not too much to say that
the act would place all complalnants
at hopeless disadvantage, and end
the power of the commission to compel
a corporation to do anything againsu
its will In place of the present suit
able procedure, which gives every COM
plainant a chance to be heard before
his fellowcitizens. here at a con-
venient place in New York City, the
bill would subject him to the trouble
before one or both Of the regulatory
commissioners for this district, and
then. if the regulatory commissioner
decided anything unfavorable to the
company, the company could wait
thirty days, and then compel the COM
plainant to go to Albany, where the
whole matter would be heard. The ex-
pense OF going TO Albany, producing
witnesses and documents there, and
the delays incident to hearings there,
would virtually deny to the average
complainant z chance to be heard at
all. Then if the three hearing COM
mssioners in Albany decided against
the company the company could after
further delay. take the matter to
court in Albany, by direct appeal to-
the Appellate Division for the Third
Department; and in this way the mat
ter would be judicially reviewed. and
in reality determined, by five upstate
judges. none OF whom is voted for
BY any resident OF the city of New
York. In these and other ways this
city would lose contact with and con-
troll over it's public utility matters, and
they would be removed altogether from
the local atmosphere"
The bill also strikes down the safe
guards as to the issuance of over
capitalized and watered securities, &C
cording to Judge Ransom, and frankly
would restore the good old days"

issue any stocks or bonds il pleased

And Miss Raisa. having apparently

that she is becoming master of her
