Switchmen Favor
League Of Nations
Minneapolis, MINI.

Hon. FRANK b. kellogg,
United States Senator,
Washington, D. g.
Honorable Sirs:
AS the time Is now drawing close
for action by the United States Sen.
ate and Congress. on the Peace Treaty
and the League Of Nations, and l as
voicing the sentiment Of railroad en-.
ployes Of the state Of Minnesota, and
also will add the sentiment OF the EN-.
tire laboring people OF this great state,
which you gentlemen have the honor
to represent In the great law.making
body Of our country. Therefore, we,
the laboring people of Minnesota now
appeal to you to support the League Of
Nations to the fullest measure that 1t
may become reality and thereby pro-
tect the people Of our beloved coun.
try as well as the people of other
nations from another disaster such
as the world has just passed through.
The laboring people Of Minnesota
feel that the decision now rests with
the American people by whose judg.
ment in the last analysis the members
of the United States senate will be
guided; we believe the American peo.
pie are resolved to do whatever is pos.
sible in order to avert a repetition of
the disaster that has scared human.
kind, and the people Of our great coun.
try are satisfied that the League of
Nations alone can guarantee such an
ordering of international affairs as can
give to peoples the promise Of peace.
+ We also feel that the laboring peo.
pie of America are entitled to the con.
sideration of having their wishes ex-
pressed in the Congress of our coun:
try, by the men who we have elected
to, or helped to elect to represent the
people and their desires, and we also
are satisfied that during the great
World War labor was not found want.
ing In any respect, either financially
or otherwise, and also that the blood
of the thousands of sacrificed Ameri-
cans who are now filling lonely
grave on the battlefelds of France,
are appealing to you gentlemen to use
your best judgment in putting into ef-
feet a covenant that will eliminate
another such wholesale carnage as the
noble youth of our country were com.
PEELED to endure in order that freedom
Of all peoples and nations would be
secure In the future.
We see so many publications of the
speeches of some of our senators be-
fore the great law-making body in the
halls of our congress and also at pub.
lie meetings, and we are awed at such
demonstrations by the men whom the
people have sent to congress to be
the guiding light of free nation and
to set an example to others who have
not been endowed with power of
speech and intelligence that these our
learned senators have.
Now, therefore, we the people of
the great state Of Minnesota, are sure
that you, the honorable senator's,
whom the people Of Minnesota have
sent to represent them in all matters

Many New Subways
Expected to Open
By Next Summer
Transit Commissioner Re-
ports Work Progressing
Satisfactorily, Despite
the Shortage of Labor

Special Correspondence
ALBANY, Dec. 21.-A report show
ing that many Of the large subway con-
tracts in New York City will be com
pleted and ready for operation next
spring and summer, has just been sub
mitted to Governor Smith by Transit
Construction Commissioner Delaney.
The report deals with the entire sub
ject of rapid transit construction
which, 1T says has progressed salts
factorily despite serious conditions for
the last two years.
Mr.. Delaney declares he has been
confronted with difficult problem in
obtaining the necessary unskllcd labor
and that the materials market not only
has been uncertain, but is becoming
more acute every day. He said, that
while these conditions make an ac-
curate forecast impossible. the indica-
tions are that the large contracts now
under way will be completed and ready
for operation as follows:
Eastern Parkway line, BROOKLYN.
middle Of summer, 1920
Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, middle
of summer, 1920
Livonia Avenue, Brooklyn, fall of
1920.
Westchester Avenue and Pelham Bay
Park, Bronx, August, 1920.
White Plains Road extension.
Bronx, summer, 1920.
Fourteenth Street (Manhattan), East
ern (Brooklyn), late in 1921.
Broadway (Manhattan), Fourth Ave
nue. (Brooklyn), Montague Street tun-
ncl April 1920
Brighton Beach connection, spring of
1920.
Culver line (Brocklyn). Avenue X
to Coney Island, March 1920.
Since enactment of the law separat-
ing transit construction work from
regulatory duties the Transit Con-
struction Com missioner has entered
into contracts for S1,129,476 in con-
struction work and for approximately
S5,0O0,O00 worth of equipment The
principal items of construction work
contracted for follow:
Eleven stations, Westchester Ave
nue. and Pelham Bay Park line. $S10,-
279
New Atlantic Avenue station, Broad
way-Fourth Avenue line, So, ,7sl.
Track construction. &ivtieth Street
tunnel to Queensboroug Plaza S9A.973
Cllvcr line reconstruction, track
construction, $5S.2sS
Culver line reconstruction. station
finish, $780,
Contracts for 200 steel cars for the
New York Municipal Railway system
have been approved within the last
few months. These cars, at existing
prices. will cost approximately $25 5000
each. When the Brighton Beach and
the Culver line services are extended
TO Manhatt0n through either the Mon
tague Street tunnel or over Manhattan
Bridge. it will be necessary to replace
the wooden cars now in use with mod
ern steel cars. There are at present
l2s cars in use on the Brighton lire
and sixty cars on the reconstructed
Culver line.
The extension Of the New York Mu-
n'cipal Company's Broadway service
through the Sixtieth Street tunnel and
on the IL" lines in Queens will neces-
state further material increase in
car equipment, and the Commissioner
is now urging that provision be made
for equipment for this extension of
the lines Of the New York Municipal
system.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-22

Christmas Eve under the auspices of
the Community councils. Army trucks,
elaborately decorated and lighted, will
rumble through the city. A town
crier, appropriately costumed, will oc-
cupy seat on one of the trucks. He
will read the proclamation of the
Mayor, after the old New England GUS
tom.
Holiday entertainments under the
auspices of the American Central Com
mittee for Russian Relief will be given
at the Grand Central Palace every
afternoon of this week, beginning to-
day.
Red Cross Parties Planned
The Red Cross will spend a busy
week. Entertainments will be given
under its auspices in the government
hospital on Ellis Island, and special
vaudeville performances have been ar
ranged for other military hospitals.
The Women's Motor Corps will trans
port seveuty-fve crippled children to a
special Christmas morning picture
show arranged for them by the man
agement of the Capitol Theater
Ten thousand New York hotel en-
ployes will have their annual Christ
mas celebration this afternoon and
evening at the list Regiment Armory
What is said to be the biggest Christ
mas tree in New York has been set up
in the great structure and loaded with
gifts for the children of the hotel men.
The children will be entertained this
afternoon. Tonight at 9 o'clock the
annual ball begins, and will not end
until daylight tomorrow. There will
be two orchestras. A committee com
posing the chefs of all the leading
hotels have devised the menu.
Huge Cross To BE Lighted
A huge cross on the 200-foot tower
Of the Passion Play Church, in West
Hoboken, will be illuminated New
Years Eve. w. Bourke Cochran, chair
man of the Passion Play committee for
1919, will throw a switch at his home
here, turning on the lights as a well
come to the new year. Thereafter the
cross will not be Illuminated until the
evening preceding the first presenta-
tion Of the Passion Play, February 22.
When the i'll and disabled soldiers in
the military hospitals around New York
wake up on Christmas morning they
will open their eyes to a Red Cross
Christmas-beautifu trees with pres
ents of smokes. sweets, writing ma
terias and other things, and before
the day is over they will see vaude-
vile show.
The Red Cross has planned all this
and more for the military hospitals,
but it is not forgetting the. men in the
camps who can't get home or those
still in Europe. Every post on this
side of the Atlantic will have it's
Christmas celebration, and every man
in Europe will be remembered by the
Red Cross to the extent of its ability.

Strangers Identity
Sought to Solve
Murder of Maid
Police Hope to Make Arrest
in Brooklyn Jewelry Theft
Case Through Several
Bloody Fingerprints

In their efforts to find the man who
murdered Catharine Dunno, the twen-
ty-one-year-o maid in the home of
Clarence S. Clark, 1146 Kenmore Place.
Brooklyn, and robbed the house Of
$4,000 worth Of jewelry, the police GEN.
tered their attention yesterday on the
identification of the khaki-clad stran-
ger seen around the place about the
time the crime was committed.
They were satisfied that the murder r
was committed by an experienced
criminal and that his capture eventu-
ally would be brought about through
the stolen jewelry and important clews
furnished by bloody fingerprints on a
doorknob, rubber sheel tracks in the
snow and descriptions of him given by
neighbors.
Inspector Faurot said that excellent
photographs have been obtained of the
finger prints on the door that lead
from the kitchen to the upper part OF
the house and that comparisons are
now being made with the records. So
far. he said, the crime has not been
llXed upon any particular person
known to either the police or the
family. All tradesmen who have been
in the habit Of calling at the Clark
home have been investigated, he said
and exorerAted.
Hour of Murder Fixed
1t was learned, however, that the
crime was committed between and
9:40 a. m. The police were led to be-
lieve that Carlo Paeppo, an Italian,
was somewhere around the house when
the girl was killed Paeppo had been
attending to the furnace in the Clark
home for number of years. He told
the police that he had spoken to .he
girl about O'Clock and had gone down
TO fiX tAe fires in the cellar and do a
uttle sweeping about the place. He
says he LETT the place about $50
CLOCK wifhout seeing the girl again.
The maids body was found bv Louis
Greenman, an iceman, about $40. Mrs
Leroy Jay, neighbor, says she saw the
khaki dressed stranger brush his shoes
with a broom at the rear entrance of
the house between 9 and $3.50. 1t is
possible, say detectives. that Paeppo
was in the cellar while the girl was
being murdered in the kitchen. Paeppo
owns his own home in Brooklyn and
has two wealthy sons in New York.
Friends of Girl Sought
In commenting on the identity of the
murderer detectives say that it is not
necessary that he should have learned
the hiding place Of the jewels .voia

story men make a bee line" for bed
