A House toulouse
Canvass Wins Votes
For Miss Rembaugh
Women Get Promises Of Sup
port for Judiciary Candi-
date in Appeal to Italians
Pride i'm Columbus

Miss Bertha Rembaugh's campaign
yesterday by canvassing for votes in
the Italian section of Greenwich VII
lage. A house to house canvass was
made by a corps of women, who be-
guiled women voters away from their
washtubs and holiday dinner pots to
listen to the reason why it vas neces-
sary to elect woman Justice Of the
Municipal Court.
Italians have always been brave.
Columbus was the first man to sail
across the ocean, and Italian women
ought - be the first to elect a woman
judge was the appeal
One woman heard the conversation
on the stairs of her house and came
out to fnd out what the strangers were
saying:
Il shall vote for the woman" she
said, "and | have nine sons. They are
too young to vote, but I am training
them up to vote for the women"
The canvassers reported decidedly
Republican swing in the district. which
they attributed to Italian pride in the
candidacy OF Representative +. II. La
Guardia, Republican candidate for Pres
ident of the Board Of Alderman.
cone advantage in canvassing among
women is that you can bel;ev. what
they tell you," said Miss Katherine
Lincoln, chief canvasser. "When men
used to make US promises in the SUI
frage campaign we could never be sure
their interest in suffrage was only
diplomatic and that they had no real
intention OF voting for it. Women
have no hesitancy about telling their
real intentions.'
The campaign committee for Miss
Rcmbaugh is planning to organize the
women by election districts. on the line
Of the woman suffrage campaign, so
that each district could be canvassed
by women who are known to the voters
series Of dinners in the foreign
sections is also to be arranged. One
night the campaigncrs will eat chop
sucy for their candidate in Chinatown,
and spaghetti the next.
They viii choose the most popular
restaurant in each district for the din
ners, which will be attended BY the
speakers and other workers. After the
dinner the company will adjourn to the
street corner for red fire street meet
ing. Mrs. Joseph Griswold Dcane is to
be chairman Of the canvassing commit
tee assisted by many veteran suffrage

Morgan & Co. to
Back Film Concern
With $lO0, 100000
Bankers to Finance Marcus
Loew; Kuhn, Loeb & Go.
Behind Famous Players;
Travis Whitney inPictures

Travis II. Whitney, former chairman
OF the Public Service Commiss ion, last
night announced the entrance of him
self and associates, backed by Bati-
more and Cleveland capital, into the
motion picture business. Former Com
missioner Whitney is counsel to the
new syndicate. A new theatre, the
Beacon, with $500 seats, to cost 5000
600, is to be built by Thea Whitney-N n or
ton syndicate at Broad and Rector
streets, Newark, ground for which will
be broken next week The syndicate
will build at least six playhouses in
other cities.
Coincident with the announcement of
the plans of the new syndicate came
another statement, on what seemed
good authority, to the effect that the
firm Of j. P. Morgan e. Co. and Kuhn,
Loeb e. Co. have entered the motion
picture field-Morgan & Co. as hackers
of Marcus Loew, whose enterprises are
to be financed in a corporation with
500, 100000 capital. 1t is said that
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are to sponsor the
corporation known as the Famous Play
ers with large capitalization.
When former Commissioner Whitney
! was asked about the new venture last
night he said:
at is true that financial interests, of
which am counsel, will at once begin
the building Of a motion picture the
atre in Newark, to cost 100000, with a
seating capacity of $500 Other mem
bers of the syndicate are L. l.. Norton,
president Of the Equitable Trust Com
pany, of Baltimore, and W. J. Norton,
! OF South Orange, we'll known con-
struction engineer, who will have gen
eral charge Of the building operations.
The project will be financed by the
fotation Of preferred and common
stock, but no bonds.
For several months, since my retire
ment from the Public Service Commits
sion, have been Investigating the mo-
tlon picture business purely from an
industrial and economic point of view
and as a field for investment Since
the close Of the war the growth of the
business all over the United States has
been Of such tremendous proportions
as almost to seem incredible.
II find that the annual income of the
business in this country at this time
is $1,000, 100000. The annual income
Of the street railways of the United
States is between $70O, 100000 and
$800O00, 900, while that Of the electr c
lighting and power companies Of the
nation totals about 100000. Here
we have this comparatively young in
dustry with an annual income nearly
equalling that of the combined street
railway and electric interests, and
growing so fast that it will surpaas
them within the next year or two"
Asked about the Morgan and Kuhn
Loeb &; Co. relations to the movies
Mr.. Whitney said:
"I am informed on trustworthy au-
thority that the Morgan interests arc
backing the Marcus Loew theatrica
enterprises, and that an announcement
concerning it will be made within tn,
next few days. l also am informed
that Kuhn. Loeb e. Co. are the finan
cial hackers of the Famous Players, anc
that both concerns have large plan,
for the immediate future"

Camden Boycott Continues
Meanwhile Jitney Operators
Are Making Money

CAMDEN, n. j., Oct. 13.-Automo-
biles are reported to be earning 81
to $40 an hour transporting citizens
who have boycotted the trolley lines
to force scent fare. Many motor
cars of all sorts have been placed in
service since the removal of prac-
tically all restrictions regulating the
operation of jitney buses, and city
and suburban service is good. There
are no set fares, passengers paying
what they deem equitable for the dis
tance travelled
AS regards trolley service the scnti-
ment seems to be to continue the boy
colt, even if the zone system is abol-
ished. if 7-cent fare, with 1-cent
transfer charge. is substituted.
