TRANSIT SITUATION
AN ISSUE IN KINGS
Republicans Blame Transfer
Charge on Tammany
and Nixon.
SCORES FARE INCREASE
Says City's Growth Assures
Dividends When Present
Conditions Are Past.

The Kings County Republican Com
nnittee is making the transit situation
campaign issue.
"Tammany cannot be trusted" 1t
states in a four page circular plentifully
sprinkled with large type, which deals
with the history of the movement for a
two cent charge for transfers. THE
Public Service Commissioners appointed
by Cows. Glynn and Sulzer were driven
from public Office. Once again the pub
lie has trusted Tammany with power
and once more the organisation has
proved unworthy OF trust.
There 10 only one thing the people
can do to express their disapproval.
Put the Republican party in power In
this borough next November"
The circular propounds five questions
and gives answers to them as follows:
who Is Louis Nixon7 He has been
engaged in shipbuilding construction, but
rot railroad work He was Croker's
lieutenant in Tammany Hall. He was
one OF the three sachems left in charge
of affairs when Croker went to Europe.
who is John Delaney He is not a
fnancier. He is not an engineer. He
Is not man experienced in railway con-
struction. He was Suffers Commits
sioner of Efficiency and Economy.
why do you pay cents fare instead
OF cents? Because Commissioner
| Nixon so decreed.
"Why did not the Republicans raise the
fares when in power? Because the
steady growth Of the city assures that
| the stocks Of the marlborough and the
B. r. T. will pay good dividends on the
investment at five cent fare in the long
run, disregarding temporary conditions.
"why are the corporations 80 anxious
for an Immediate increase? Because they
know that temporary conditions will
pass and that there can be no decrease
until after long legal battle"
The circular says the increase In fares

LIGHTHOUSE" IN ROME.
Blinded Italian Soldier. to ne Re-
educated.

A movement has been initiated by the
committee for men blinded in battle to
duplicate In Italy the reeducation Of
blinded soldiers, as is now done In
France. The work has already been
started with the opening of a Tight
house" in Rome, in the palace OF Prin-
cess Adobrandini. and a smaller one in
Florence 80
A special Italian-American committee
has been formed in Italy to organize
the movement which will be conducted
under the patronage OF Queen Elena. The
lighthouses" of Italy, like those in
France. will be under the personal direc-
ton OF Miss Winifred Holt, who has
been on the ground for several months
studying the conditions and arranging
plans of cooperation with Italian offi-
Gals. medical societies and other organ
izations.
The American end of this effort to
render to Italy the same assistance that
has already been given to France is in
charge Of Mrs. L. w. Hewitt of the
committee for men blinded in battle
who has recently returned from n study
Of the italian situation in company with
Miss Holt.

WOMEN MAY ADD TO

Miss Sterling in 18th Has
Good Chance.

add to their number in the Assembly,

lnation for the Assembly. The organ

Cronin to succeed himself. But there
Ii another man after the same nominal
ton in the primaries. and II the women
OF the district support Miss Sterling SOL
idly she should win in spite OF the lead
ers. 1t will be q test of whether the
women will take orders from the bosses
or support one of their own sex. The
man insurgent candidate is Charles
Sheeran.
Miss Sterling was long prominent in
suffrage work and acquired a reputation
as a forceful speaker. Her friends say
she demonstrated her executive ability
when she ran the women's section OF
the fight OF William Church Osborn for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor a year ago. They say that many
men will support her and II she can
count on the women she VIII surely win.
Only one woman was designated for
the Assembly by either the Republican
or Democratic organizations In New
York city, although the Socialists will
have number of women running for
the Assembly. In the Nineteenth dis
trict, Manhattan. the Republicans dess'
ignated Miss NJ. L. Smith for the AS

Democratic district and her chances for
election are not bright.

crowded theatre fairly breathed of in
spiration and the actors of the play
delivered their messages in all sorts
of guise and camouaage and all OF
them struck the responsive chord OF
an enthusiastic gathering of amuse-

rendition of some of the choice musi-
cal hits of the play. Hello Every
