Responsible, Say Engineers
of Service Commission

An increase in railroad accidents and
delays in 1920 is attributed by the en-
giners of the Public Service Commits

troubles reported in 1920 aggregate

under normal conditions there should
have ben decrease in these figures for
1920.

point. The deferred maintenance on
the lines of the principal operating
companies aggregated $10,945, 1891 at the

$4, 900, 600 Beach Land
At Coney Is in Dispute
Brooklyn Official Resists Claim
of Bath Company and Says
1t Is City's

The title to approximately thirty
acres Of land extending along the en-
tire water front from Brighton Beach
to Ocean Parkway, at Coney Island,
and valued at more than $4,000,000, is
involved in the discussion opened yes
terday by Park Commissioner John N.
Harman of Brooklyn, who claims own
ership of the land for the city.
The question of ownership to this
much disputed tract followed the ar
rest last Monday of Samuel Gumpertz,
manager Of the Parkway Baths, for
tearing down certain signs placed by
the Park Department on the beach in
front of the Parkway Baths. Gum
rertz claimed that the disputed land
was owned by the Parkway Baths Cor
poration, and that the city had no
claim to it whatever
Park Commissioner Harman said
yesterday that he has found, upon ex-
animation of the records of the Park
Department, that all of this property
was acquired by the city of Brooklyn
in March. 1887. No record, according
to the Park Commissioner, can be
found showing that the city has dis
posed Of any Of its rights in this piece
Of land since that time
There has been a determined effort
for more than twenty-five years on the
part of abutting land owners to grab
this beach property" said Commits
sioncr Harman, land the recent move
of the Parkway Baths Corporation in
asserting ownership to the park prop
erty in question is just along the line
of the fight that has been repeatedly
made to get and hold possession Of
this valuable beach land"

; ALBANY, March 6.--Solution of the
New York City traction tangle along
fhe lines proposed by Governor Miller
is OF vital interest to upstate residents
as we'll as to citizens of greater New
4 ork, according to letter written by
senator Clayton r. Lusk, president
pro tempore of the Senate, to F. w
sSpaulding, editor of Binghamton
newspaper, and made public tonight.
The letter is an answer to an edi-
torial printed in Mr.. Spaulding's paper
and IN which it is asked, in reference
10 transit securities, "if there is any
ecity in the state where these hard
earned dollars have been confiscated %
Senator Lusk's reply is that there
eare such instances.
:. IF you take the time" he writes
TO make an examination you will find
thousands of dollars worth of de-
sfaulted bonds of the traction companies
of the City of New York in the hands
of your citizens. You will also find
thousands of dollars of defaulted bonds
purchased with the funds of your citi.
szens and held by banking institutions
You will also find that thousands OF
dollars of the funds of your citizens
paid as premiums on insurance policies
have been invested by these companies
in defaulted traction bonds, which
sthese policy holders must ultimately
close unless these bonds are paid. That
is due to the fact that these policies
participate in the earnings and losses
OF these companies.
One Plan for Entire State
"The situation is one that we can nc
longer ignore. We cannot adopt one
sprinciple for one part of the state and
another principle for another part
Furthermore, We cannot tell how soon
this situation will arise in some other
) part of the state; if, indeed, it has not
already arisen"
Reference also is made to the stand
taken Wednesday by the State Confer
! ence of Mayors, when twenty-one cities
went on record as being opposed to the
: public service bill. Mr.. Lusk expresses
the belief that those who are against
. the measure have not as yet reached a
full understanding of what it proposes
( to do.
The representatives of many of the
cities opposing this bill do not seem to
have clear understanding as to its
. provisions, and do not appear to under
stand that we are going as far as we
, can to protect their interests" he saws.
Not Corporate Measure
at would, be very unfortunate if the
cltlzens of Binghamton, Johnson City
legislation is being proposed by the
. Governor in behalf of the traction
companies. Nothing could be further
/. from the truth. The effort is being
made after thorough study of the
situation and with a complete knowl-
edge of the law. 1t is being made
solely for the protection of the health,
Of the state. 1t will, in my opinion,
result in reasonable service at mini
mum cost, which is the common pur-
pose of the cities and the state,

or purpose and designed wholly TO meet
on appalling condition Of need among
helpless women and Children
"Anybody who wishes to do so can
easily ascertain the fact that the com
mittee. out of the fund already raised,
has sent relief alike into Belfast and
Cork said Captain Lucey. "The only
platform on which it's efforts can be
honestly opposed Is a brutal willing
ness for Irish women and children to
suffer unspeakably. The British gov
ernment, 50 far as we are informed,
has expressed no disapproval Of the
Quaker unit now in Ireland. There are
children in Ireland today just as hun
CRY as those Mr.. Hoover feeds in Cen
tral and Southeastern Europe. We ap-
peal to every American on the broad
basis of appalling need"

CAMP GROUNDS FOR TOURISTS
 DONATED BY MIR. G. P. JACOBSON
(Gila Va!Iey Farmerl

Safford's new camping ground for automobile tourists has been ar ranged, and from now on travellers who do not wish to put up at hotel may have all the comforts and joys of a modern camping site. The place chosen is in the grove just behind the warehouse of the Solomon-Wicker- sham company It has been cleaned off. fenced water and toilets prepared and is in first class condition for camping. Other more pretentious towns have these camping grounds for the accommodation of automobile tourists and it is said Safford's camp ing site compares very favorably with any of them.
 The use of the ground on which the camp site has been arranged was generously donated to the Saffcrd Commercial Club by Mir. c. P. Jacoh- son, without any rent or charges of any kind The camping grounds will win many friends for the town; tour ists will go away with Q good word fer Stafford and their accommodations while here, and the community is in- debted to MT. Jacobson for his public spirit and generosity.

COUPLE
 WALK 8O MILES

Telling her husband, Ysabel Seba- Hos. a Mexican rancher fifty years of age, living on the Frisco river below Clifton, with a finality that could not be mistaken, that she was through with him once and for all, his wife. admitted in the court of Justice Fox On Tuesday that she had eloped with one Louis Maya from Morenci and had been living with him ever since.
 On complaint of the husband a war rant was placed in the hands of Sher- if BradDerry last week charging the pair with adu1trgy. They were traced to Bowie and finally located with an s. P. Section gang between Bowie and San Simon where they were placed under arrest by the Greenlee county sheriff, brought by auto to Clifton, and landed in jail.
 At the preliminary hearing the young Mexican woman did not appear to think that she had committed any wrong, morally or legally. She had with her year old baby and readily admitted in the courtroom that her husband, who was present as the com plaining witness, was the father of the infant The woman stated that her maiden name was Eusevia Mar quey and that she had been married to Ysobel Seballos for the past three years but that she did not propose to live with him any longer, preferring the attentions of the gay Lochinvar in the person of Louis Maya, young CT and hansomer man.
 According to the story of the injur- ed husband his wife left the ranch for Morenci about two weeks ago say ing she was going there to consult doctor. Becoming alarmed at her continued absence the husband went to Morenci and discovered that his wife departed in company with Maya He immediately hied himself to the court house for redress
 Maya and his immortata walked from Morenci to Bowie a distance of about eighty miles, across the country, carrying the woman's baby with them, and bottle of water for refreshments.
 The eloping pair now are in jan serving a sentence. of thirty days each as the final result of their escapade.

One DolIard Saved Represents Ten
 Dollar; Eearned

The average man does not save to exced ten per cent of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That being the case he can not be too careful about unnecessary ex- penses. Very often a few cents pro. perly invested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic and Diar- rhoea Remedy. It costs but few cents and bottle of it in the house often saves a doctors bill of several dollars.
