Er1right Flia1ches
Not When Target
For Sufragists
Faces Battery Of Questions
Regarding Police
Administration

Police Commissioner Richard f. En-
right offered himself up as a living
target for the vocal bombs of three
hundred sufragists who came with all
the grievances of womankind, to at
tend the Police Commissioners quiz
last night at the Woman Suffrage
party headquarters, at East Thirty
eighth Street
They wanted to know why there was
never a policeman around when they
wanted one; why Mrs Ellen O'Grady
was the only woman deputy on the
force; why the polling places for city
elections were established in barber
shops, and why the park benches were
always full of loafers when they
wanted to sit on them themselves.
TO this last question the Commits
sioncr replied:
"Just because mar IS cat of a job
is no reason why he should not be al
lowed to take the air"
"No," protested the suffragist, "but
they are so unsanitary."
Bath Would Be Nice
ut would be nice ii we could make
some of them take BATH" the Com
missioner agreed.
He promised attractive and clcanly
polling places for the next election.
Good humor prevailed, save when the
women touched on the subject of the
absentee police. The Commissioner al
most lost his temper when one woman
complained that the police were never
on hand when they were needed.
'IhSt iS mot fair INV frio nd ,, ho
snapped. "If you knew lust where to
lind policeman every minute so would
the crooks know, and that is what we
don't want them to know"
He declared that the problem of
women police was one which his dc
partment was considering. but had not
yet decided upon. Mrs. O'Grady was
a good start, he said, and the number
would be increased as soon as it
seemed wise
Trying to Save Money
"You know. am trying to save half
million dollars a year in my de-
partment,' he p.eadcd, "and the things
you people ask would make it ncces-
sary to double the force"
"Why is New York called wide
open town'?" popped from the lips of
one quiet little woman in the corner
81 don't know, I'm sure" was the
answer. "Thc lid was never on eight
cr, but within twenty-four hours after
was appointed our friends Of the
Fourth Estate had spread the news all
over the country that New York was
wide open,' and practically invited all
the criminals loose at the time to come
on in"
The suffragists turned out in full
force to hear one another quiz the
commissioner. They sat on the wind
ing stairs and overfowed into "Boss"
Hays private Office, and all husbands
and escorts who could not prove they
had important questions to ask were
banished to the lower fioors

Subway Workers
Need Higher Pay,
Whitney Warns

Prompt action to avert an impending
labor crisis that will halt the compile
tion OF the new subways was urged b,
Travis II. Whitney, acting chairman Of
the Public Service Commission, in let
tcrs sent yesterday to Mayor Hylar
and the Board of Estimate.
Because of the increased cost Of liy.
ing for workers, Mr.. Whitney declared
the situation must be met at once. He
asserted that the force engaged in sub
way construction has dwindled from
10000 to 1000, and intimatcd that
those left might take places offered
them elsewhere at higher wages.
Mr.. Whitney said that there is need
for q direct busincssllc adjustment
between tho city and the subway
contractors. on a basis that the con-
tractors forego all profits on their
work, past or future. He told Mayor
Hyian that something must be done
Immediately to better the present
state of subway work, otherwise "the
city will have to carry a dead loss OF
many millions of dollars through the
fact that lines under construction
have not been brought to the stage
where operation can be begun.
"The commission does not feel
that the BILL which has been drawn by
counsel for the organiZa ton of the
contractors. and prelimnarily intro
duced at Albany, could be accepted in
its present form as adequately pro-
tectlng the public's interests" said Mr..
Whitney. "Thc problem is not essen
TALLY one of relieving or rcimbhrsing
contractors who are bound by bar
gain which war conditions have made
Improbable to thcm the plan and pur-
be to place the public authorities in a
position to see to it that essential
public works are promptly completed
and that all available energies and re-.
sources are made susceptible of COM
mand and concentration to that end
"The commission is advised by its
counsel that, although the present
form of the proposed legislation is OBJ
Jcctionablc and of doubtful validity, Il
bill, can be formulated which would ac-
complish the essential purpose and en-
able the public authorities to deal with
the labor and material supply stua-
tion in such way as to insure earlier
completion of transit lines"
Urging the establishment of a new
subway station on the Broadway
branch, between 10th Street and
Manhattan Street, several petitioners
interviewed the complaint committee OF
the Public Service Commission yester-
day. The petitioners said that 122d
Street would be the most appropriate
location for the station.
Commissioner Hubbell explained thai
because the government is restraining
all new construction where iron and
steel are used, this was bad time to
consider such a project. He directed
that count of passengers be made at
10th Street and Manhattan Street sta
tions.

Honora O'Brien
Now Bride of
Irish Farmer

Honora May O'Brien, who won vc~-
dict of $225,000 against John B. Man
ming. Il wealthy retired broker, eighty
three years old, last August and event
ually settled the case for 100000 cash,
is married. News of her wedding
reached her frieids yesterday
Immediately after the breach of
promise suit was settled Miss O'Brien
took the first steamer for Ireland and
often said during the trial she wished
she hadn't left. There she renewed ac-
quantance with John Daily, Skb-
berecn farmer. And now she is Mrs.
DAILY.
The breach of promise action Miss
O'Brien brought against the aged mill
ionaire was one of the most sensation
al ever held in the courts of New
York City. 1t was proved that all ar
rangements had been made for their
wedding in St. Patrck's Cathedral on
Was to have performed the ceremony.
On the day before the event was to
take place Miss O'Brien was called to
the telephone by her aged wooer and
Informed the wedding was off The
suit was the result.
The verdict of the jury was that Miss
O'Brien was entitled to $225,OOO. JUS
tice Cropsey reduced that verdict to
$l2500O. In doing so he said that
while it was true the defendant was
very wealthy, it also was true that he
was very old, and that fact should be
taken into consideration. Miss O'Brien
then settled for the fiat sum rather
than go through new trial.
In her letter announcing her we'd
ding she said that her husband was
friend from childhood days. He had
proposed to her before she left Ireland
to come to this country. and on her
return renewed his wooing.
Mrs. Daily described her house in
detail and. with true housewifely in
stincts, complained of the high cost
of everything. She said she was cx-
tremely happy and, according to the
woman friend to whom she wrote.
never even suggested that she would
like to set eyes on New York again.
