| -CORNERED FIGHT
for n. Y. MAYOR SHADES
OTHER TAMMAkY VOTING

New York, Sept IA four-cor-
nered fight for the Republican nomi-
nation for mayor overshadows ALI
other features of the primaries Tues
day. Mayor John F. Hylan is unop-
posed on the Tammany Hall ticket
but there are number of contests
for minor offices.
Nearly 1,175,000 enrolled Republic
can and Democratic men and women
will be entitled to vote, the Republi-
can registration being 643,6S0 and the
Democratic 531,1 67.
The Republican nominees are:
Major Henry H. Curran, war, vet
eran, lawyer, former newspaper re-
porter, Yale graduate and now presi-
dent of the Borough of Manhattan.
Major F. H. La Guardia, of Man
haitian. former Congressman. presi-
dent of the board of alderman and an
airman during the war.
Judge Reuben l.. Haskell of Brook
Ign, prominent in politics in that
borough, who was elected a county
judge last year on a wet platform.
Former State Senator William M.
Bennett of Brooklyn. figure in. bor-
ough and state politics. who unex-
pectedlY wrested the Republican
nomination for mayor from the late
Mayor John Purroy Mitchell four
years ago.
Major Curran is the nominee of the
Coalition Republican forces and has
the endorsement of the regular Re
publican machine Major La Guardia
is at present outside the pale of the
regulars. Judge Haskell, also an
outsider, has made an issue of the
prohibition question. Mr.. Bennett is
opposed to old line Republicans fus-
, ing with Coalitionists.
AS all four nominees have been
good vote getters in previous cleo
tons, political students predict a
close contest. Brooklyn, with the
largest registration of any of the five
boroughs and with two candidates in
the field, is regarded as the pivot of
the situation.
! Considerable bitterness has de-
veloped during the campaign but the
Republican managers profess to be-
lieve that after the primaries all the
candidates will forget their differ
ences and concentrate their energies
in an attempt to roll the Tammany
tiger on its back.
While Tammany has re designated
Mayor Hyland for another four year
term. all has not been harmonious in
the wigwam and leader Charles F.
Murphy has a number of insurgcnt
fights on his hands.
I The most important of these is the
contest of James J. Hines for the
nomination of president of the Bor-
ol,gh of Manhattan against the regu :
lar Tammany candidate, Julius Miller
Hines has conducted a house to-
house campaign in Murphys own dis
trict and has enlisted the services of
flying squads of women voters He
planned political funeral procession
for Murphy September 3, but called
i! off at the last moment.
The Socialists and Prohibition par
tics, who will have tickets in the
election, November s, have no con-
tests in the primari es. Jacob Pan
kor. justice of the municipal court,
is the Socialist nominee for mayor.
The Prohibitionists have designated
George Kenneth Kinds.

Great N. Y. Fire
On
HarbOr Waters

Now York, Sept. 11-Shpping in
terests have needed persistent warn
ings that unless something is done to
stop pollution of New York harbor by
oil waste from steamers the greatest
port in the world will be menaced
by danger of a great confiagration.
They have formed committee to see
that the harbor is cleansed of this
peril.
Great pools have collected in many
of the harbor basins, and wooden
piers have become soaked with the
oil. Underwriters and firemen here
remark that water would be of little
good in fighting such a fire, as il
would make the burning oil spread
farther.
Many plans for disposal have been
offered One would ask Congress to
make appropriations for enforcement
of the statute prohibiting the casting
of troublesome oil upon the waters.
Another would request the city to
enforce the ordinance providing
barges to carry off the oil.
How TO dispose of the waste even
should it all be poured into barges is
another problem. Commercially it
has little value, it is. said, and it
would be useless to dump it at sea,
even so far out as fifty miles. For the
oil would come back, just like the
cats people try to get rid of by TAX
ing to the country. Shipping men,
however, express the belief that a
profitable means of utilizing the
waste will be found
Representatives of the national
board of fire underwriters have in
formed the committee that the prob
lem of eliminating similar danger. in
European harbors had interested the
governments of Great Britain, France
and Italy, and that they were work.
ing on possible solutions.
The washed democracy of New
York also has sent up a wall of pro-
test against dirty habits the steam
ships have gotten into since oil large
iy supplanted coal as fuel. At some
OF the bathing beaches the sticky
waste has become so thick that bath
houses furnish bathers with kerosene
TO wipe it off their bodies after a.
session in the surf. Bathers at these
points complain that they leave the
water much dirtier than when thew
entered.

Seek Missing Lad

Leaving home for work Tuesday
morning Alfred ("Freddie") Sutton,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Sutton
of Homefield street, Lewiston, has
disappeared and no trace of him has
been discovered. He is IL years
old, and he has never been away from
his parents before. No reason for
his sudden departure is known. as
family relations have been ideal.
Early Tuesday morning young SUIT
ton left home on his bicycle for the
Lunn & Sweet shoe factory, where
he has been employed. He reported
for work. but stayed only a short
time. AS soon as possible he got in
touch with his foreman and asked
for leave of absence. He said that
he had to appear in court that
morning as a Witness. and under this
pretext was able to leave. Since
then he has not been seen.

CRIME AND WHAT ABOUT

Thirty surety and burglary insur-
ance companies paid claims last year
of sixteen million dollars and one of
the officials. President Joyce of the
National Surety Company, gives ex-
preston to some of the conclusions
he has arrived at in finding eleven
principal causes of the crime wave
First among these he mentions the
disrespect for law which inevitably
follows war. Then come enlarged OPP
portunities for crime, the discomfort
arising from reports of great profits
made during the war and not always
commercially. skill and recllessness
certain men of criminal instincts de-
rived from war experience, high liv-
ing and expensive tastes resultant Of
the high wages of war time, the at
traction of people to the congested
centers and away from their accus-
toned environment and employment,
discomfort caused by the publication
of glittering reports of fortunes made.
agitation Of the doctrines of Boil
shevism and other isms, inadequate
accounting methods in businesses
built up 100 quickly. carelessness in
employing people without looking up
their records lavish and unusual dis
play of valudtles.
He urges that common sense meth
DDS by employers and those owning
valuable will prevent dishonesty and
check the crime-wave. But he would
accompany this with the enactment
