ALBANY, April 6.--Mrs. Florence
E. S. Knapp, former republican secre-
tary of state, appeared in supreme
court before Judge Callahan this
afternoon and pleaded not guilty to
six indictments charging her with
felonies and misdemeanors in connec-
ton with her administration of the
1925 census fund. She is accused of
wholesale graft in connection with her
use of the funds. Bail was fixed at
$4,000.
Charges Once Dropped.
John j. Conway of Albany, former
District Attorney of Albany County
has been retained by Mrs. Knapp as
her counsel.
The indictments against Mrs. Knapp
were handed up to Supreme Court
Justice Stephen Callaghan by a
special grand jury last night after it
had been in session six hours, had
heard "a witnesses and had deliberated
on the evidence rs minutes.
Criminal prosecution of Mrs. Knapp
before the special grand jury was
ordered by Governor Smith after the
district Attorney of Albany county
had recommended that the charges
against her be dropped.
Ample Time For Defense.
Mrs. Knapp is not likely to be
placed on trial before May /, it was
said at the Court House. 1t was re-
ported that her counsel would be given
about three weeks by Justice Cal
laghan in which to prepare her de-
fense.

|. R. 7. PREPA ARES
FOR 7-CENT FARE
Stock Advances 9 Points
in Wall St.

Preparations by the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company for institu-
ting a seven cent fare advanced an
other step yesterday with the an
nouncement by the company that it
would issue "tokens" for the increased
charge. These tokens will be sold at
the change windows in the stations
and the turnstiles will be altered to
receive the new slugs.
Decision on the fare suit, which
has already been argued, is expected
at any time. Whether the city will
be able to prevent the increased fare,
which the federal courts are expected
to authorize, is doubtful. A increase
of nine points in the market price of
Interborough stock in Wall Street in
dicated the bankers opinion yester-
day as to the outcome of the increased
fare flight"
Support Increase.
That the city officials have sys-
tematically played into the hands of
the traction companies while pretend
ing to fight for the five cent fare has
been seen in every development dur
ing the past few, months. The last
confirmation it is believed was the
appointment by the city of former
Controller Charles L. Craig to handle

More Exclusions.
Last night he again kept out of
the meeting a number of workers
whom he fears to let attend the meet

the truth Of his activities.
At a previous meeting with his usual
conceit, he boasted of bet that he
had won of some hundreds Of dollars

Broach's knowledge as to the out
come Of the last election was inter
estingly prophetic; but we must not
forget that his present, hand-picked
administration has become a most
useful tool in the hands of this reac-
tionary labor official.
One Reason For Expulsions.
For having dared to express their
honest opinion regarding Broach and
his machine, progressive forces capa-
BILE of drawing large vote, have been
excluded from meetings of our union.
Such action makes possible clear sail

Seven years of courtship!

even the most undecided young
man to make up his mind quite
decidedly. Seven years is too long

But when for any reason mar

or is postponed over and over for
various reasons. the courtship is

less and dull.
It is a grave mistake for any
man to ask any girl to give up
all other friends and devote her
leisure and attentions TO him
self. The chances are one hum

You owe great deal to a girl
who has given you her time for

debt YOU owe her. She would
soon learn after your marriage to
her that your love belongs to
another and she would be far
more miserable than she will be
