ALBANY, March 21.-Theodore P.
Shonts, president of the Interborough:
George Youman. counsel for the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company, and repre-
sentatives of other street railway lines
asked Senator George T. Thompson to-
day to introduce bill permitting the
Public Service Commission to increase
the 5-cent fare to cents during the
way and fer one year thereafter.
Senator Thompson, who is chairman
of the Public Service Committee. ex-
amined the bill and said it met with
his approval, provided one amendment
was made. He said that, in addition to
the Public Service Commission being
satisfied that a 6-cent fare is Just
and reasonable rate, the bill should in
clude the following sentence:
And necessary for the purpose Of
paying fixed charges, interest on Sc
cured and unsecured debts and cost of
operation, but only after dividends on
stocks and profits to stockholders shall
be first applied thereto"
The proposal surprised the street
railway men and they made no reply.

Some wonderful coiored pictures,
done in process inyented by Leon
Forrest Douglass, are being shown a,
the Eighty-drst Street Theatre.
The films are not hand-coiored. They
are black and white. but. by means Of
a small device that may be attached
to any motion picture camera. she colo,
values are given when the picture IS
projected.
The subjects selected were calculated
to bring out the possibilities Of the
new process. For instance, fancy Mary
Pickford in natural .cclors She ap-
peared wearing a green sweater and
sport hat. Her blue eyes danced; her
yellow curis hoated in the breeze while
she fastened carnation IN the lapel
of Douglas Fairbanks's coat. and Doug-
las, who appears to be ve-v much sun
burned. only smiled little more than
usual.
Some marvellous views of the Great
Canyon were also shown. The exhibl .
ton closed with a sunset at the Gold

that the spectators applauded them
again and again.

Banker Repeats Testimony
Before Grand jury on
Mitchell Campaign
Childs Comes Next
Executive Chairman on Hand,
but Story VIII Be Heard
To-day

Cleveland II. Dodge, the banker, who
signed the invitations to the "Billion-
Dollar Luncheon" at which more than
$500 900 was "underwritten" for the
campaign fund Of eX-Maycr Mitchell
was the first witness Of importance
yesterday in the grand jury investi-
cation OF the manner III which the fund
was raised and spent.
William Eamlin Childs, executive
chairman of the Fusion committee, was
also on hand to testify, but the ex-
animation CT Mr.. Dodge took up so
much time that Mr.. Childs was asked
to come again to-day. Both men signed
waivers OF Immunity from prosecu-
ton.
Assistant District Attorney Kilroe
who had charge CT the examination of
Mr.. Dodge. received letter yesterday
from Isidor J. Ktsel, of counsel for
Mr.. Childs, reminding him Of the fact
that Sam A. Lewisohn, treasurer o.
the Mltchel-Fusion campaign commit
tee, also one of his clients, is desirous
of testifying before the grand jury
and that Mr.. Lewisohn will ask the
privilege even if Mr.. Kilroe should de-
eide not to call him as a witness.
1t was learned that the grand jurors
through their foreman. j. Sinclair
Armstrong, have determined that the
utmost secrecy shall be preserved il
respect OF the proceedings. 1t was un-
derstood, however, that the lines OF
Mr.. Dodge's testimony were similar tt
that which he gave to Mr.. kilroe sew
eral weeks ago. At that time Mr.
Dodge said the finance committee. OF
which Lewis l.. Clark was chairman
agreed on q 100000 budget for the
campaign. but, after Wllli~n NJ. Ben
nett ran away with the Republican
nomination, the budget was extended tt
$S00,0 600.
Mr.. Dodge testified that he signed
about fifty or sixty invitations sent
out to multimillionaires TO attend {
some money. About twenty-five re
sponded. Mr. Dodge said Mr.. Chids
was practically the boss of the cam.
paign. He said he understood that
money was to be spent to influence the
labor vote and the party revolters ,
He did not know how the money was
spent, but said he understood that it
went to workers on registration anC
election days.
When told that many OF those who
received large sums of money just
put it in their pockets, Mr. Dodge saic
that Emory Z. Buckner, Mayor Mitch
els campaign manager, evidently was
not very skilful about avoiding that
sort of thing.
Mr.. Dodge said H. personally con
tributed $4,000 on the Underwriting
scheme. Twenty thousand of this, he
said, was returned to him, but he
turned it over to the City Democracy
organized by Martin W. Littleton.

Republicans Here
Oppose Revival Of
Party Convention
County Committee Rejects
Minority Report; Women
at Meeting

Nineteen of the newly elected Re
publican women Assembly District
leaders, who attended the meeting OF
the Republican County Committee in
their new capacity for the first time
last night, found proceedings unusual
" interesting. and even amusing at
times.
\ lively controversy developed
among the men over a minority report
the election law. recommending the
discard of the direct primary and a
return TO the old party convention for
the nomination Of candidates.
A resolution was adopted putting the
county committee on record as favor
ing the Federal suffrage amendment,
and copies were sent to United States
Senators James W. Wadsworth, jr.,
and William NJ. Calder urging them to
support the amendment.
When the minority report OF the
election law committee was read by
Secretary Benjamin Bulmer. Erwin
Kurtz, of the 10Th Assembly District,
moved its adoption before action could
be taken on the majority report. He
declared that ne believed that the
great majority of Republican voters
in Manhattan, as we'll as the maj jority
of the members Of the county COM
mittee. were in favor of returning to
the party convention, and it was time
to say so.
Collin II. Woodward, leader of the
23d Assembly District, who submitted
both reporta. opposed any action on the
primary matter now. explaining that
the committee yesterday decided that
l. = l,A
minority report
Mr.. kuntz, W. j. Campbell, Of the
21st Assembly District. and other men,
hers insisted upon a vote in the minor
ity report Chairman Samuel s. koe-
Mig spoke against taking any action on
the minority report, declaring that
while the party might some time go
back to the convention system it was
not the time to do it now, particularly Y
on account OF the recent enfranchise-
ment of the women. He said he
thought it would be "blunder" for
the committee to take UP the matter at
this time.
Chairman Koenig first called for a
vote on the MAJ ority report and it was
quickly adopted \ vote on the MI
nority report followed and it was bad
ly heaten by 1913 to 10.
Miss IIeIen Varick Boswell. chair
man OF the women's division of the
Republican County Committee, sub
ynitted a report OLE the work of or
ganizlng the women voters in the vari-
ous Assembly districts. She pointed
out that, since December. the Repub-
lican women had organized in nine
teen out OF the twenty-three Assem-
bly, districts in Manhattan and select
ed their district leaders, all of whom,
were present. Organization would be
completed and The leaders selected in
