Women Urge Congress 10 Sc
cure the Vote for Them in 1920

Much concern is manifested
among leaders of both politi-
cal parties as to whether the
women of the country, all those
Of age and qualified, will take
part in the national elections
in 1920. The women them
selves are much concerned also
Up to the present time but
seventeen States, through their
legislatures, have ratified the
proposed constitutional amend
ment granting the right of SUI
frage to women. But in order
to make the amendment opera
tive, thirty-six States, three
fourths Of the entire number
must ratify. The elections
are just a little more than
year away, and with nineteen
more States yet to ratify, the
outlook for women voting IS
not considered as encouraging
Only four State legislatures
can be counted upon to hold
regular sessions during the
next twelve months to support
the amendment. Special ses-
sions must be called in about
fifteen States. Thus will fall
upon the governors of these
States, in large part, the decls-
ion as to whether women are
to vote for the next President
and Vice President and the
next Congress. Pressure is
coming from women in all sec
tions, urging that Senators and
Representatives of both par
ties use utmost influence to hur
ry ratification wherever posi-
bic, thus showing that the hand
that rocks the cradle is eager
/ to have q share in helping to
run the country

No valid reason is given by
Government officials as to the a.
cute shortage Of sugar over the
entire country. Il is admitted
by them, after careful survey
that the public is face to face
with a sugar famine. A varie-
ty of excuses is offered. The
sugar shortage in Europe is
said to have made serious in
roads on the American supply.
Information is at hand that su
gar is plentiful in Germany, es-
peCialIy in the form of candies
and sweets. Rumor has it
that jargo quantities nf sugar
are held in Porto Rico for high
er prices. The talk Of ration
ing the sugar supply is not
meeting with public favor.
During the war it was different
as an emergency had to be me-
and the consensus of opinion j.
to the effect that the c-..s oil

be measured by the excess a.
bove home needs and that it is

Four tenants strikes against rent
increases are now in progress, accord
ing to Mary Mardfin, executive secre-
tary of the Greater New York Tenants
League. who said yesterday that Mayor
Hylan's aid had been invoked in vain
TO stop rent profiteering.
i went to see Mayor Hylan before
he went to Palm Beach," said Mrs.
Nardfin, "and then he promised he
would appoint q commission to sum-
mon landlords TO show cause why they
raised rents. Although the proposed
commission Is indorsed by Nathan
Hirsch, Of the Mayors own committee.
the Mayor has not yet kept his
promise"
Mrs. Mardfin said that an era of
real estate gambling" was in prov
ress, In which landlords were raising
rents IN apartments and tenements
and then selling them at profit. the
new purchaser, in many instances. re-
peating the process.
Tenants throughout the Bronx are
being organized according To Mra

Prosecutions OF
B. r.. L. for Wreck
District Attorney Lewis Is
Disappointed at Acquittal
ofMotorman; Court Aided
Defendants, He Declares

District Attorney Lewis of Kings
County declared yesterday he had not
decided whether he would proceed with
the trials of the four B. r. 7. officials
under indictment, following the ac-
quittal of Anthony E. Lewis, motorman
of the Brighton Beach train which was
wrecked with a loss of ninety-seven
lives.
Thomas F. Blewitt, the division su
perintendent, the only other person
tried in connection with the disaster
was previously freed. There is
strong belief that the cases will be
dropped against the other officials in
view of the failure to convict the first
two. Those under indictment are
Timothy S. Williams, president; John
j. Dempsey, vice-president; John H.
Hallock, president of the New York
Consolidated Railroad, and William S.
Menden, consulting engineer.
District Attorney Lewis said he
would confer first with Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Warbasse, who con-
Quoted the case against Lewis, before
deciding on the state future procedure.
Mr.. Lewis issued formal statement,
reading in part:
The indictments were removed from
Kings County to Nassau County by
justice of the Supreme Court, so that
the indicted persons could have an
Impartial trial Blewitt and Luciano
were aided in their defence by high
judicial officers, who took a most &C
tive part in the selecting Of jurors for
the trial.
Upon the trial of Blewitt it was
proven that many OF the rules of the
road had been violated in the selec-
ton of the motorman on the day of
the catastrophe.
"In my opinion the proof on Luci-
amos trial demonstrated beyond any
possible doubt that Luciano was wholly
unfit, as we'll as unfamiliar with the
road, and that this was the cause Of
the derailment of the train. The re-
suit has been most unfortunate and
has shaken faith in certain aspects
of our judicial system"

Wd-shin gto11 Bureau

WASHINGTON April 5.-Howard S.
Coffin, former chairman of the Aircraft
Board, returned TO Washington to-day
from a trip to Europe, taken to ex-
anime aircraft developments and ten
dencies. He was much impressed by
the extensive plans Of the European
governments for direction and en-
couragement Of aerial transit along
both military and commercial lines.
Britain is retaining 1000 flying Of
fcers, and will have a permanent force
Of not less than 5000. These figures
mean a total personnel of 10000 and
$4,000 against the total of 10000 for
the United States army and navy, ac-
cording to present plans. Every en-
couragement is being offered to com
mercial developm and Britain in
tends, evidently to seek both the mill
tary and commercial supremacy Of the
air. The elaborateness of the plans
being laid for the encouragement and
regulation Of aviation, Mr.. Coffin says,
is quite beyond comprehension on this
side Of the ocean.
