Miss Harriet May Mills, Democratic candidate for Secretary of State, who disappointed the 15th A. D. Demo cratic Club Wednesday night, said yesterday: "I was much disappointed. I could not have reached Greenpoint unUl 12:30 at the earliest, so gave it up. I sent a letter of apology to Miss Corcoran at once.

I wish it were possible to be in two places at once." Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, has received word from the Attorney General of Arkansas that in his opinion the wqmen of that State are not eligible to hold office in that State and that upon his advice the Secretary of State has declined to accept the certification of Dr. Ida Joe Brooks as Republican candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. In Massachusetts, the Ballot Law Commission has decided that citizen- snip may be retained by any American woman married to an alien prior to March, 1907, when Congress passed the law requiring married women to take the citizenship of their husbands. Two decisions given by Attorney General Allen give women the right to serve as election officials and sign nominating petitions for candidates.

In Missouri, when women were given the right to Presidential suffrage, they used pink ballots to differentiate them from men voters. A recent decision is that this law violates the right of secrecy. Women cannot be candidates in Missouri, as the law requires male voters who have voted for two years before the election. Members of the League of Women Voters, headed by Miss Elizabeth Collier, Mrs. Alice Parker Hutchins and Miss Eva Kherwnn pntOH tribute WurtHnrnrth 1 i 1.

Minnie J. Abel, leader of the 1 7th A. spoke at the 16th A. D. Women's Democratic Club, Thursday night, as guests of Mrs.

Catherine Carroll, executive member. Mrs. Joyce said she was surprised to find such a large active club there, as their work was done so quietly the county did not realize the women's strength in the 15th. Mrs. Elsie Calder Lee and her husband arranged a meeting for first voters last night at the 12th A.

D. Republican Club, 409 9th st, with Senator Medill McCormick as speaker. There are 3,000 first voters In the district and 1,000 were invited for last night. The others are invited, 1,000 for each meeting, on Monday and Friday nights of next week. The clubhouse was crowded and much enthusiasm was aroused for the Republican ticket.

Miss Jennie Melvene Davis said of Mrs. Douglas Robinson last night: "Mrs. Robinson uses the old-time kind of oratory and repartee that I hope women will end. But she makes no vaild claim for the the electorate for the Republican parly." Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the National Democratic Woman's Bureau, says: "The children's code of Governor Cox of Ohio has been copied all over the country." Miss Harriet May Mills is slated to speak at P.

S. No. 146, 19th st, between 6th and 7th on Wednesday night, with Senator Walsh and W. Bourke Cockran. At the Mills meeting last night, at Elmhurst, where Miss Mills was introduced by George Gordon Battle, three-fourths of the audience were reported to be Republicans.

The League of Women Voters is hoping to secure Franklin Roosevelt as the principal speaker at the dinner on Tuesday night at the Bay Plaza Hotel. Judge Dugan of Jersey, who recently called a jury of women, will be the chief lion at the dinner of the Women's Bar Association of Kings County on Thursday night and will speak on "Women as Jurors."

FUOMIT UKLIVKUirs. Jo31-tf SCHWAB DECLINES DINNER. Magistrate Joseph S. Schwab today decline.il to be the guest of honor at r. testimonial dinner Hint had been arranged for him at the Hotel Commodore on Oct.

26. The magistrate w.id th arrangements were too claboiatc, Receiver Garrison of B. R. T. Will Take Fight to U.

S. Supreme Court. Defeated again in the Tight for increased carfare the Nassau Electric, Brooklyn, Queens County and Suburban and Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad Companies, for which Lind-lcy M. Garrison is acting as receiver, will carry their case to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Court of Appeals yesterday denied their application for a reargumeait of the July decision holding that the Public Service Commission was without power to alter present rates.

The July decision was made by a vote of 4 to 3 that in cases where a street railroad company Is doing business urider a charter stipulating the amount of fare, nobody is authorized to alter the stipulated amount except the municipal Government. Mr. Garrison's petltin was for an increase from 5 cents to 8 cents. Corporation Counsel John P. O'Brien termed the decision "a victory for Mayor Hylan and the public in its fight against higher fares." "The denial of this motion for re-argument," he said, "is a source of great satisfaction to the Mayor and to me.

It is of benefit not only to the city as a municipality but also the travelling public using these three lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system. "It would seem that the only litigations now remaining concerning the 5-cent fare are the appeals of the B. R. T. and the Interborough Rapid Transit Company in proceedings involving the 5-cent fare, incorporated in the rapid transit contracts, which appeals will he argued next month in the Appellate Division." The Board of Estimate and Apportionment yesterday instructed Commissioner Grover Whalen, of the Department of Plant and Structures to make arrangements for the installa tion of bus lines on the nine lines of the B.

R. T. system abandoned by the company with permission of Judge Julius Mayer.

It is said that the two brothers had looked about for twin sisters, but unsuccessful in their search, they did the next best thing, and chose girls both of the same age.

Miss Jennie Suchow of 408 Georgia ave. was Philip's choice and Miss. Ida Selditch of 274 Christopher St. is Louis's selection. Both couples will be married on the same doy, some timo in the next month.

Ho told Detective Harry Beck that his wife had married him without first being legally separated from her previous husband, Isaac Jaffe, of 750 Park pi. Both Jaffe and Zeldin were in court, and said that Rebecca had left them about two weeks after the marriage ceremony. Mrs. Zeldin said that she and her first husband, Max Feldman, were divorced in Philadelphia 22 years ago, and she added that her second husband, William Williams, died 13 years ago. Magistrate Brown held her in $1,000 bail for a hearing on Monday.

Pass Satisfactory Night After Accidentally Taking Bichloride of Mercury. Misha Appelbaum, founder and head of the Humanitarian Cult, and hiu wife, Helen Yorke Appelbaum, concert singer, who were removed yesterday afternoon from their apart ment at 131 W. 74th suffering from bichloride of mercury poisoning, passed a satisfactory night at the Knickerbocker Hospital, according to attending physicians, and are resting well this morning. The physicians say that the developments of the next few days will decide whether or not the poison will prove fatal. The Appelbaums live on the third floor of the W.

74th st, apartment house. Shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon the elevator boy received a barely audible telephone message from Appelbaum, who whispered: "Have taken poison by mistake; send for the doctor." The terrified negro notified Patrolman Harry Singer of the W. 68th st. station, who called an ambulance from the Knickerbocker Hospital and hurried to the apartment with milk and eggs to be used as an antidote. According to Singer, Appelbaum said both he and his wife had taken four 7 -grain tablets of bichloride of mercury.

Appelbaum was fully dressed and. his wife was in bed. Both were violently ill when the hospital ambulance, accompanied by Dr. Robert Leddy, a visiting physician on the Knickerbocker staff, arrived, and as soon as they had received emergency treatment they were removed to the hospital and assigned to the same room upon the insistence of Appelbaum. Dr.

Leddy said that Appelbaum and his wife had taken heavy overdoses of the poison and that this fact might operate to save their lives.

Rosenberg of Philadelphia and New York City, and M. N. Glumecich and N. S. Knozo-vich, president and secretary of the Serbian Orthodox Society, Pittsburg, were arrested charged with misappropriation of funds of the organization.

The sum involved is said to be $83,000. ARREST IS MADE IN DREWES MURDER Man Thought to Be Accused Student Caught on Train. Philadelphia Oct 23 Sheriff Seth of Cecil County, reported to the Philadelphia police today that he had arrested a man on a train near Perry-vllle, early today on suspicion that he is William P. Brines, the university student charged with the killing of Elmer C. Drewes, the Dartmouth college senior, here last Saturday night.

The sheriff added the prisoner said his name was Harry Lamont, nnd said he knew nothing of the murder. He said his home is In New York. According to the sheriff, the prisoner refused to glvo any information about his family and told conflicting stories. on a basis of the claims for losses due to the operation of thieves, filed with the burglary Insurance companies. This is the answer of the Insurance men to Police Commissioner Enright'b statement that the story of a crime wave is a bugaboo raised by the insurance companies to boom business.

As a contradiction of Enright's statement that there has been less crime this year than in 117, they declare that in that year the companies made money and that this year they wm lose money, as they did last year. Ellis G. Bogart, president of the Burglary Insurance Underwriters Association, today declared that he would communicate with other insurance men with a view of having them draw up an official reply to Enright's attack on the Insurance men. He said he had not the figures showing- the increase but that he would ask his associates in the insurance business to assemble them. "I have never known the situation to be so bad as it is now and I have been in the business more years than I care to say," said he.

"In 1919 every company lost money in burglary insurance and they are going to lose money, this year. In 1917 they made money. "Instead of there being 40 percent less crime this year than in 1917, I would be inclined to say that there has been 40 percent more. "Many burglaries are not reported to the police because people expect no help and wish to avoid notoriety. So Commissioner Enright may not know about all the crime that exists.

Yet with shooting matches on Broadway, murders and scores of small robberies, almost all unsolved, how can we fall to recognize that a crime wave prevails?" Arthur D. Dietrick. manager of the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, said that because of the frequent robberies the business of all the insurance companies had increased very materially and there was a larger proportion of losses than he had known in the ten years he had been in the business. "it has always been the case," said he, "after a war that there has been an increase in crime. Idle men are seeking to make a living in the easiest way.

Therefore it is manifestly ridiculous for Commissioner Enright to say that thoer is less crime than in 1017. Why, all one has to do to realize that a crime wave exists is to pick up his morning newspaper and read about holdups, burglaries and murders. There is a fresh list in the newspaper every day and they have not been getting the fellows responsible for it all, either. There are not enough detectives and their heats are too long. A detective goes out on a 'squeal' and while he working on that another theft takes place.

"There are a great many burglaries which the police do not say anything about. "I should like to take, about six insurance men to see Enright to prove to him that there is a crime wave and that the insurance men have not exaggerated the situation." CLUE IN DESERTED CABIN MAY SOLVE" PAUL MURDER Camden, N. Oct. 23 A deserted cabin, one mile from where the body of David S. Paul, Camden bank runner, was found in a shallow grave among the Jersey pines, may form the connecting link in the solution of the mystery.

Detectives who visited the. place reported today they found obvious signs of recent occupancy and evidences of a protracted orgy about the cabin. Dark blotches on the floor are believed to be blood stains, and the police think it was here that Paul met his death. A partly-filled whisky bottle was found on a table in the shanty and bits of a letter were on the floor. Motorcar tracks around the place are believed to have been made by the car in which the messenger's body was carried away.

Less than a mile away is an occupied cabin and the detectives learned that a woman wearing a green velvet dress stopped there and bought a half-dozen eggs Friday morning, the day before Paul's body was found. This woman is being sought by the police in the hope that she may bo able to throw some light on the mystery. Get Citizens Union's 0. K.

It is known that the Amity st. precinct will bo abolished soon after election, and that may have been one of the rea sons for the desire of Fennelly to be retired. Gen.

We believe that many of your customers are holding off placing orders because of high prices and will not purchase fall clothing until reductions are iered. "These reductions mean a great loss to us. Our prices at the beginning of the season were marked on a lower margin of profit than ever before. Therefore, at the new reduced prices we are not only sacrificing our entire profit but.

on a great many styles are taking a severe loss. However, the time has arrived when prices must be lowered to meet the demand of the buying public on all goods, including custom tailored clothes." The clothing manufacturers are at. work on the Labor question, to bring about piece-work in the shops, in place of week work, to secure greater production per man and thus reduce costs per gament, Rochester houses are offering suits in competition with New York, and Rochester is said to have the. advantage of 25 percent lower Labor costs than New York.
