An independent Democrat, who has
made a close study of transit and
other municipal affairs, Is at work
upon plan for the reorganization OF
New York's transit situation. which
will have for it's main feature the
guarantee Of five cent fare. accord
ing to information obtained last night,
and will offer it to the public in a
speech within a week or ten days.
1t was stated that the plan will con.
tain important features other than the
five cent fare guarantee representing
notifications If not radical departures
from the Transit COMMISSIONS pro-
posal. and that the new plan has been
outlined to Henry H Curran, Repub-
lican Coalition candidate for Mayor,
and TO Senator Charles c. Lockwood,
candidate for Comptroller.
Mr.. Curran was informed OF this re-
port over the telephone and he said:
ut is true that have been told about
such plan. I havs he d only feg
minutes conversation about II, how
ever. and am not prepared to say what
| think Of It until 1 know more
about It,"
Senator Lockwood could not be
reached.
1t Is known that the advocate OF the
new plan has conferred with George
McAneny, chairman of the Transit Com
mission, and with Mr.. Curran and Sei,a-
tor Lockwood. He refused to discuss the
report last night or to allow his nan,e
to be used in connection with il.
II could not be learned what was the
nature of the discussion with Chairman
McAneny. 1t was learned. however, that
the Transit Commission will not con-
slider this proposed modification or any
other radical departure from the course
it already has announced with regard
to transit reorganization. In that con.
nection It was emphasized that least of
all would the Transit Commission con-
slider any suggestion which might appear
to be tinged with political expedlency.
Neither Mr.. Curran nor Senator Lock-
wood has expressed a view regarding
the recent report. of the Transit Com
mission.
The Transit Commission expects now
to begin its public hearings upon It's
proposed plan for tho readjustment o.

The purposes OF the public hearings
will be to subject the companies to ex-
animation in relation to their affairs
In addition to the examinations which
the commissions stan of investigators
is making. The inquiry will have par
ticular reference to the attitude OF the
companies toward the commission's s
plan, and opportunity will be afford ed

ton.
The tort creditors of the transit COM
panies in receivership already have noti-
fled the commission informally OF their

That attitude indicates the belief OF thos
creditors that 1t will enable them to re.

are TO be turned over to the city, will be

DEMPSEY MAY SEEK ANOTHER
 BOXING MATCH
uy International News service)

CBy International News Service)
 NEW YORK, July 25.-Jack Demp- sey may come back to seek another match.
 Fighting is Dempsey's trade and it is the only way he can make big money. His moving picture and the atrical ventures have never enriched him to any great extent
 Were Dempsey n veteran of the ring or a fading champion he would seek to capitalize his title without risking it. He might join a circus as Jess Willard did. become movie actor, take out a burlesque show or bowl over a few set.ups.
 But he prefers to fight. Isn't he the odd fellow?
 Our former champions have been "razzed" for side-stepping the tough babies by merely exhibiting them. selves. Dempsey has been "razzed" for everything but that
 The champion makes it plain that he is not looking for set-ups He is willing to fight anybody Tex Rick. ard selects for him. So far from picking up the easy money he IS disinclined to enter the ring with men who do not figure to have a chance with him.
 There the two good reasons for this. One is that Dempsey is only twenty-six and at the peak of his fighting form. He thinks he is good enough to beat any man. His req. son for not boxing men who would be suckers" for him is that he fears he may hurt them Jack is begin. ming to realize the power of his punch.
 At the present time there isn't a man in sight who looks fit to battle Dempsey on Labor Day. Jess Willard would require more than two months to get ready. He says so himself Fred Fulton probably would make as good a showing as Willard if Demp, ! sey chose to make a slow start. But Fulton will always remember that time he did Beckett" at Harrison N. j.
 A scuffle between Frank Moran i and Carpentier might be interesting It would demonstrate the speed of the European champion. and possibly Frank might land old Mary Ann However. it probably would be a dis appointing exhibition if 1t went more | than few rounds
