Skip-Stop to Save
100000 Tons of
u. S.Coal in Year
Garfield Recommends City
Boards to Manage New
Car Systems
By BRIGGS
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

tSDcc1Ht OLSpdtch 10 Inc f1Oune)
WASHINGTON, Sept. with the
expected nation wide adoption Of the
skip-s stop system on street railways on
September Is the fuel administration
thinks that coal used for the develop
ment of electric current will be saved
at rate of about 100000 net tons an
nually.
The value Of the skip-stop system
the fuel administration states, that
the power for starting car must be
three times as great as that required
to run it a block. A large percentage
operating streetcars, it is said, is con-
sumed in making frequent stops. The
skip-stop system in Brooklyn, Wash
ington, Chicago. Detroit and Minneap-
oils has saved, it is estimated, about
1000 tons of coal.
Before the skip-stop system goes
into effect generally the fuel admins
tration suggests a board of five men,
OClS Nc SclCClcu, tWO REPRESENTING tuc
city, two the railway and the fifth the
fuel administration. The city members
would obtain the views of the Police
and Fire departments regarding dan
gerous points of traffic The duty Of
this board would be to choose the car
stops and see that instructions regard
ing marking, advertising and general
policy be carried out. that the public
may be given the best service with
maximum fuel economy
The skip-stop system does not con-
template putting stops far apart The
administration has asked that there be
not more than. eight stops a mile in
business dictricts, six stops a mile in
residence districts and four stops in
open country.
Mayors and others in authority are
urged to have ordinances passed to
keep vehicles off car tracks. In this
way traffic will be accelerated.
The Fuel Administration asks also
that the railway and city authorities
make every effort to eliminate all car
stops up hill and around curves. Mu-
ricipal authorities are urged to reduce
the number of stops by the interurban
cars, especially in city limits.

Unusual Interest Aroused
by Women's Enrolment
and Hot Contests
Whitman Seems To
Be Leading Lewis
Second Place, Controller.
ship and Attorney Gen
eralship in Balance

Whether Whitman or Lewis, en- the
Republican side, and whether Smith or
Osborn, on the Democratic-these are
the big questions to be decided by the
enrolled voters at the primaries to-day
The votes of 679,619 women, cast for
help in the decision.
The four candidates mentioned will
not monopolize the interest. for there
are contests among Republicans for
the nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor and for Controller on the state
ticket, and fights in various Congress
sional districts throughout the state in
the two major parties.
The polls will be opened between the
hours of l and o'clock in this city
and from in the morning to 9 at
night outside New York City.
Qualifications of Voters
All enrolled voters will be entitled
to vote. The qualifications are the
same as last year. One must have been
q resident of the state for at least a
year, of the county for four months
and of the election district in which
he or she lives for at least thirty days.

state exceeds the democratic by $780,
ss7.
Besides the state ticket, candidates
will be nominated for forty-three seats
in Congress, so Assemblymen, fifty
one state Senators, state committee
men and Supreme Court nominees in
The LIST, I'd, Sd and 18th judicial dis
tricts.
The lines have not materially
changed since the state conventions of
the two big parties in Saratoga in July.
Whitman's Apparent Advantage
Governor Whitman is candidate for
third term He has the backing of
carefully built up organizations in Writ
nally every county in the state. and
an advantage over his opponent, Attor-
ney General Lewis. who has the sup
port of William Barnes, William L.
Ward, ex-senator Harvey D. Human
and ex-senator Bracket. Prohibition
is cutting a large figure in the cam
paign. the temperance people, generally
speaking, supporting the Governor, who
favors the ratification by the Legis
ature of the Federal prohibition
amendment, while Mr.. Lewis favors
referendum.
Second Place ROuses Interest
The returns on Lieutenant Governor
will be eagerly watched tonight, as the
contest is a three-cornered one, with
Lieutenant Governor Edward Schoe
neck, ex-senator Seth G. Heacock, of
Ilion, and ex-senator William NJ. Ben
nett, of New York, contending.
:, The contenders in the Republican
primaries for Attorney General are
Senator Charles D. Newton, of Gencseo,
backed by the Whitman organization
and Deputy Attorney General Alfred L.
Becker, of Buffalo. Mr.. Becker's name
has become we'll known to newspaper
readers on account of his vigorous in
vestgation of German propaganda in
this state. resulting as it did in the
execution by the French government Of
the German spy, Bolo Pacha. 1t is con
coded that Mr.. Becker will receive a
large vote in this city and IN Erie
County He is on the Lewis ticket, but
in Buffalo and Syracuse the Whitman
newspapers are giving him their sup
port
There are three contenders in the
Republican primaries for the nominal
ton for State Controller-Eugene NJ.
Travis, who is seeking third term;
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-09-03

Samuel Fraser, backed by the New
York Federation OF Agriculture. and
John Kissel, Of Brooklyn, who served
one term in the State Senate in 1909
1910.
The only contest in the Democratic
camp is for the first place on the
ticket. Alfred F. Smith, President of
the New York Board Of Aldermen, was
the choice Of the Saratoga conventions
He will have the backing Of Tammany
Hall and the McCooey organization in
Kings, and it is predicted that his ma
lority will be so large in greater New
York that William Church Osborn. of
Garrison, his opponent, will not be able
to overcome it up the state no matter
how large vote he gets above The
Bronx
