CITY PLANT TO
POWER RESCUE

80, Confirms Contention.
The complete failure of the Light
ing eompany's plant was taken by
representatives of the city as con-
firming their contentious a year or
more ago during the dispute with the
company over the so-called standby
service. At that time City Engineer
Tiedeman advised the city mayor and
council that the plant was in such
condition that all three boilers were
in danger of going out of commits
sion at any time.
Frequenbly they would run on
twosboilers with only one generating
unit in commission" said he today.
That is the reason we took the posi-
ton, in fighting the enormous charge
for@this steam connection with the
city,s plant, that some time the COM
pany would need the city's steam
service as badly as the city might
need the company's and therefore the
service being reciprocal, there would
be so charge whatever for it. To-
days Developments have proved the
soundness of the city's contention.
And it is easy to imagine the predica-
meAt the city would have been in to-
day for water in case of an emerg
encg and in case we had not rebuilt
our-own plant and put it into opera
tions7'
To the credit of Manager Ewing,
who has been in charge of the af-
fairs Of the Americas Lighting COM
pany here only a short time, it should
be said that the present difficulty
was apparently wholly beyond his
power to prevent, and was something
which will probably never occur again
under his management unless his
hands ;fera so tied by the head Of

mer City Engineer Ansley and pres
ent Engineer Tiedeman have warn
ed the city officials in the past that
the plant was in a condition likely
TO fail completely at any time. Past
experiences with the gas services are
fresh in the recollection of the citi-
zens, although considerably improved
in recent months, and today's expert
ence with the electric plant is accept
ed as confirmation of the fears as to
the electric plant.
Boilers Worn Out.
Engineer Lyon, who has been in
charge of the plant only few
months, today blamed the whole trou-
bic on the condition of the boilers
as result of age.
1.-The tubes are all weak and worn
out, having lived their usual life, and
| fear before we have completed this
repair job will have to replace en-
tirely the lower rows Oh all three
boilers and possibly MORE" said he.
at is like a suit of old clothes which
may look all right this morning, but
go to pieces this evening. The tubes
are weak and old, and all liable to go
out at any time. The boilers as a
whole are in splendid condition, and

Fight Tomorrow i'm Elect
ing Federation President

Considering the intensity and the
velocity of the electioneering which has
preceded the biennial election of Off
GERS of the New York City Federation
of Women's Clubs, the official cere-
mony of nominating the rival candi-
dates was disappointingly placid yes
terday afternoon at the Hotel Astor.
=, Mrs, Harry N. Lilly, president of the
federation, welded a stern gave and
forbade the injection of personalities
whenever the decorum of the proceed
ings was threatened.
The two tickets as nominated were
as follows:
For president, Mrs. Richard M. Chap
man; for president, Mrs. Stanley
Lyman Otis; for second vice-president
Mrs. Charles D. Hirst; for third vice
president, Mrs. Helen W. Ritchie; fol
recording secretary, Mrs. James Nc
Cullagh; for corresponding secretary
Mrs. William Whitaker; for treasurer
Mrs. Fred Hixon Baldwin; for histo.
rian,. Mrs. Otto Kempner.
first e-president, Mrs. S. T.. Otis;
Chaplin Taft; for third vice president
Miss Jane Johnston Martin; for re.
cording secretary, Mrs. Daniel P. DUFF
fie; for corresponding secretary, Mrs
Arthur J. Hanford; for treasurer, Miss
E. M. Goldsmith; for historian, Mrs
W. j. Wilson.
The chief issue in the election is the
rivalry between the women of Brooklyn
and Manhattan for the glory of the
presidency. Brooklyn women maintain
that they were promised" the presi
dency this year and were then not
given the cooperation they had ex
pected from the machine"
Many Manhattan women are support
ing Mrs. Chapman, the Brooklyn can
didate, because of this feeling. On the
other hand, Miss Wood, the Manhattan
candidate, has the advantage of longer
experience in club affairs and q wider
personal acquaintance.
The election will take place to-mor-
row in the corridors surrounding the
grand ballroom of the Hotel Astor
where the convention will be held
Governor Miller has been invited tc
attend.

Child Delinquency
Drops TO Lowest
Level, Court Says
Justice Hoyt i'm Annual Re-
port Shows III, l,582 Cases
i'm 1920, Compared to
I2,425 i'm Record 1916

Presiding Justice Franklin Chase
Hoyt, of the Children's Court of the
City Of New York, trasmitted his an
nual report yesterday to the Secretary
of State and the city authorities, and
in a letter giving a resume of the
years work pointed out marked de-
crease in the number of arraignments.
During 1920, Justice Hoyt says, there
were 1852 cases of individual chill
dren brought before the court, as
against 1852 in 1919, decrease of
2045. Heretofore the smallest number
of cases received within year was in
1916, when 12,425 children we're
brought before the court, or S43 more
than in 1920.
The most important cause of the de-
crease, Justice Hoyt says, 'is the work
of many organizations and the awaken
ing of the public conscience and in
telligence, the development of the pro-
baton system and the intensive efforts
of the court itself" Another reason
for the falling of was the extraordi-
nary weather conditions during Jan
uary, February and March. "When we
recall how the weather at that time
interfered with every interest in the
city" says the justice, "it is not sur
prising that it restricted the activities
not only of the children themselves,
but of those authorities and agencies
through which the children are usually
brought into court"
Justice Hoyt says that while the
number of cases before the court de-
creased, the time put in on each indi-
VII, ny fol VI a tp 7
so the work of the court has not de-
clined. During 1920 the court held
48,975 hearings, or an average of 4.23
to every child arraigned.
Justice Hoyt says that the Children's
Court is not "cure-alp' for the evils
which affiict the children of the com
munity "If the faults of the children
can be cured without bringing them be-
fore it," he says, $50 much the better,
both for the children and the court"
A significant feature of the years
work, the Justice said, is the decrease
in the number of children committed to
institutions. In 1920 such commit
ments fell to 1892, the smallest num-
ber ever recorded Justice Hoyt says
that since 1911, the year before the es-
tablishment of the probation system,
the saving made by the court in the re-
duced number of institutional commit
ments has more than paid for its en-
tire budget.
Justice Hoyt also asserts that the
proposed constitutional amendm ent
which was amended last year in some
respects, is to be passed upon by the
Legislature this year. If favorably
acted upon it will be submitted to the
voters at the next general election
The amendment will give enlarged
powers to the Children's Court.
