Jamestown Puts
Ban on Hearst Up
To Civic Council
Publications Find No De-
tenders, but Aldermen
Want Public to Act
Especial Dispatch to The 7'rsbunc>

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, July 2.-The
Common Council voted last night to
refer the question of dealing with
Hearst daily newspapers and other
publications of doubtful loyalty to the
Civic Advisory Council, an organza-
tion made up of representatives of all
the patriotic, fraternal and civic So
cieties of the city.
This action was taken after brief
discussion of the Hearst question.
There was no division OF opinion r6
garding the undesirability Of permit
ting the circulation OF the offending
publications. In fact, not one word
only argument was over the question
of jurisdiction and over the best
method of dealing with the problem.
With the Mount Vernon precedent
in mind, a majority of the aldermen
declared themselves in favor Of put
ting the duty of dealing with Hearst
squarely up to the jamestown public
without formal resolutions. AS prac
tically every phase Of civic activity
is represented on the Advisory Coun,,
Gil. Mayor Samuel A. Carlson advised
that the job of handling Hearst be
passed on to that organization.
On motion of Alderman James S.
McCallum. the Mayors suggestion was
unanimously adopted.
AS the Advisory Council is strictly
non partisan, including among its mem-
bers Republicans, Democrats, Prohihi-
tonists and Socialists, no suspicion
of politics can attach to any action
it may see fit to take. The organiza
tion was founded by Mayor Carlson q
few months ago for the purpose of
expediting the city's war work, and
tivities. Earnest Cawcroft, an at
torney, who has been active in various
movements, is president Of the council.
Before taking action the aldermen
heard number of extracts read from
the pamphlet, Cooled in the Flag
Hears-s-st,' reprinted from Kenneth
Macgowan's articles in The Tribune.
jamestown has been slow in taking
up the Hearst matter, simply because
it isn't so great menace here as in
many other cities. According to news
dealers, orrly one resident out Of ZOO
is now daily Hearst reader.
During the Hearst discussion the
council was informed that few
copies Of Viereck's "American Week
ly" and the recently suppressed
tissues and Events" now camouflaged
as "The American LIBERAL" still find
their way into jamestown. Investiga-
ton of this periodical, as well as Of
"The Liberator," edited by the staff
of the defunct "Masses," and Frank
Harris's "Pearson's," was recommended
to the attention of the Civic Advisory
Council.

Mary Garrett Hay
Urges Women to
Support Whitman
Governor Has Been Con-
sistent Friend of Suf-
frage, She Declares

Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of
the Woman Suffrage party of New
York CITY, came out for Governor
Whitman yesterday and attacked his
opponent. Merton T. Lewis, chiefly on
his suffrage record. Miss Hay de-
clared that she intended to go to Sara
toga on July 1S, and hoped that all en-
rolled Republican women would take
an interest in the affairs of that con-
vention.
II don't see now any woman who has
ever worked for suffrage, or ever been
interested IN votes forwomen could vote
for Mr. Lewis" she said. 81 we'll re-
member when Mr.. Lewis introduced
his amendment in the Legislature in
1916 1t vas of no Importance and was
never voted upon"
Mr.. Lewis's Suffrage Pamphlet
The amendment referred to was one
which Mr.. Lewis has had printed in
pamphlet form, explaining his attitude
on woman suffrage. 1t reads:
Woman suffrage is an established
fact in this state Women will never
be deprived If the right which they
now have. I hope that, having won the
right to vote, women generally will use
the ballot and demonstrate the wis
dom of their enfranchisement."
The pamphlet adds:
an these war times the attitude of
Mr.. Lewis as to the proper qualitica-
tions CT all voters, both men and
women. is significant. Mr.. Lewis pre-
pared and caused to be introduced in
the Legislature of 1916 an amendment
to the state constitution giving women
the franchise Of suffrage.
This amendment limited the right
to those men and women who could
read, write and speak the English lam
guage."
In contrast to this lukewarm support
on MIR. Lewis's part OF the suffrage
amendment. Miss Hay pointed out that
Governor Whitman had been strong
friend OF the cause in the hours when
it most needed friends.
Miss Hay Pleads for Whitman
Enrolled Republican women should
support Whitman at the primaries"
she said, mot only because Of his
suffrage record. but because he has
been on the right side of labor leeis-
lation and all progressive movements.
as we'll as being unAinchingly patri
otic "
The refusal OF Senator Zion r
Brown to .un again for his Office would
be received without grief by the sui.
fraglsts of the state. Miss Hay said.
ana she ventured herself to challenge
his statement that it was Governor
Whtman's one-man party which had
caused him to withdraw from public
life.
"The 'ona-man party hadn't thino
to do with it." she said. "but tbe
women's vote added to the progressive
mems vote Of the state was too nncb
for him, and he knew it,"

Seeks Inquiry Into
Hudson ube Seizure

WASHINGTON. July 2.-Investiga-
tion of the action OF the railroad ad-
ministration in taking over control Of
The so-called McAdoo tubes between
New York, Jersey City and Newark,
n. j., was proposed to-day by Senator
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, in a
resolution declaring the tunnels do not
come within the terms of The railroad
act.
Senator Frelinghuysen contended
that the tubes are no more railroads
than municipal trolley system, and
that they are not used for The trans
portation Of war supplies or soldiers,
but are devoted almost entirely to
communication service between New York
and the two New Jersey cities. Since
the control of the tubes was taken
over, he added. rates have been in
creased, those between New York and
Newark being advanced from II to
~ cents and between New York and

truculently, "and none Of you will

the station men, "you have the wrong

you'll have to- show me-" quoth
Mrs. Riley erimly, and until they had
brought forward Mrs. j. Harrison
Thompson, of Chicago, who had taken
the precious picture Of Denny and
the equally precious sweater by mis-
take, she remained unconvinced. Then
she surrendered the fortune gladly
enough for the keepsakes Of her
soldier son.
Bags SWITCHED by Mistake
Mrs. Thompson had como to the sta
tion too early for her train With
her black handbag at her feet, she
sat in the waiting room and it was
small notice she paid to Mrs. Riley,
who was resting after long ride out
to Camp Upton and back. Mrs Riley
had exactly cents in her purse. She
had gone to the camp to see her son
Denny. But the trip had been fruit
less. Gone" they told her at Up
ton, and the only consolation was the
grand picture which Denny had left
with comrade to be sent or given
to his little mother. 1t was even
then in the small black handbag at
her feet, the most precious possession
in the world.
At $3.50 o'clock things began to hap
pen in the Penns ylvania Station Mrs.
J. Hartman Thompson reached for
her walrus handbag, adjusted her sum

made for her train. few minutes

THE FORMER MONEY POWER

At the time when the country was viz orously opposing standardization of power symbolzing it by the word trusts, per haps the most vigorous of the attacks upon this power was against the so-- called Wall street money trust. When the federal reserve banking system was adopted it was commonly understood that 1t would serve to decentralize money power and to extend over the whole country credit resources which were for merly presumed to be concentrated in or near Wall street.
 Now, however, of a sudden, through the cooperation of 50 or GO banks of New York, there is an exercise of money pow CT which 1t must be confessed is serious ly concerning thinking men. No one doubts the sincerity of the motives of those who have put these restrictions upon the course of the securities mar ket They are based upon the belief that the necessities of the government conn pei the conservation of credit and re- quire the suppression of a tendency to deal heavily and in speculative manner in securities.
 But while the motive Is approved, nev- ertheless there clearly stands out the fact that a group of bankers, who as a whole represent the banking life of New York city, is able so to concentrate pow CT as to place severe restrictions upon what the veteran operator calls the nat ural ebb and flow of business"
 The government through it's repre- sentative Fred I. Kent, who is clothed with authority, Is able to restrict the sending of American money abroad with intent to invest it in securities. But that is done as a governmental function. The restriction does not stand in the way of the purchase in the United States of se-

Washington, November 4-Secretary McAdoo, in a. letter today to Representa- tive Fess. chairman ofN the republican national committee. said he voted for Theodore Roosevelt for governor of New York in 1898. in order to support the na- tional administration in the war with Spain.

 Mir. McAdoo, in denying a charge by Mir. Fess that he had caused political matter to be printed on railway time ta- bles, said an appeal to the American people to buy Liberty Bonds was the only publication authorized by him.
