A Dera gan a RI TRA SECRETARY LYONS STARTS MACHINE T0.N CURRAN Campaign for Mayoralty by Borough President Will Be in Full Blast Monday. ALDERMEN IN BATTLE. McCourt and Roberts Claim Seat in Reapportioned West Side District. Seerctary of State John J, Lyons arrived in this city to-day from Al- bany and went directly to the Hermi- tage Hotel, where he put out several “feelers” for adequate hotel space in “which to establish headquarters for the Henry H. Curran commiltee of which he has been selected the Chair- man. Mr. Lyons said that by late this afternoon permanent headaquar- ters will have been decided on, and by next Monday the complete per- sonnel of the city and the borough sub-committees in behalf of Mr. Cur- ran’s candidacy for Mayor will have been sattled and announced. The Republican Committee of One Hundred, of which Mrs. Mary Hatch Willard is Chairman and Mrs. Nor- man 8. Dike the Vice Chairman, wrote to Henry W. Taft, Chairman of the Anti-Tammany Conference, advising him that the contmittee had indorsed the candidacy of Mr. Curran and will work for his success at the polls. Aldermanic President La Guardia wrote to Chairman McAneny of the Transit Commission to- in reply to the latter's letter of Monday. The Transit Commission denied La Guardia’s request for advanced in- formation as to what recommenda- tions the Commission will soon make in the traction matter, Mr. McAneny also advised Mr. La Guardia that the Commission was not in politics and cannot lend its time to futile cor- respondence of a political nature. To-day Mr. La Guardia replied to Chairman McAneny that he considers the Chairman's letter “a masterpicce of dodging and bad faith.” President La Guantia further charged that Mc- Aneny’s statement ‘The determination of operating plans can have no pos- Mible bearing upon the questivn of their continued construction and pre- paredness for use’ shows that the Commission still has in mind the pos- sibility of granting an increased fare. “If not,” the La Guardia letter con- cludes, “why in the world don’t you vome out and say so, So that we can take this very vexing and annoying issue out of politics.” ‘An aldermanic battle is being waged in the Third District on the lower West Side of Manhattan between Aldermen Stephen Roberts and Alder- man John McCourt, ‘The contest has een caused by the reapportionment of the aldermanic districts, McCourt was formerly the alderman from the Fifth and Roberts from the Third— fnence the battle for the nomination. MecCourt's leader is William Dalton, Deputy Commissioner of Correction. Robert's leader is Charles W, Culkin. ‘When Culkin was declared out of the race for the Shrievalty, Roberts made known his desire to be con- timued as Alderman, because the designation for Assembly had already been doled out to the north side of the distmct to Thomas Burchell, a Dalton constituent, Dalton, it seems, was not content with capturing the Assembly desig- nation, but insisted an McCourt get- ting a renomination for Alderman as well. The Culkin-Roberts followers told Dalton he was “trying to hog it,” and now the political warfare is on in full blast. Willlam M. Bennett, insurgent can- Ajdate for the Republican nomination for Mayor, will invade Brooklyn to- night, speaking at the clubhouse of the Twenty-second Assembly District, No. %3 Barbey Street, This is the district of Jacob A. Livingston, the Kings County Republican Chairman. Ignorance of the election laws on the part of the Prohibition Party leaders invatidates the petition they (tiled last Tuesday naming candidates for Mayor, Comptroller and President of the Board of Aldermen, The peti- tlon was not properiy made out and will probably be returned to the peti- tioners by the Board of Eelections, New York is thus deprived of an op- portunity to learn what the Prohibi- iJon strength is, in votes, in this city, ——————>_—__ THREE ARRAIGNED AS MEN WHO HELD UP WOMAN.

Marguerite Movers Marshall. The keen, quick-witted business woman assuredly belongs in The Eveni: World's honor group of three-miaute thinkers and talkers, for —like the efficlent business man—her daily routine is a demonstration of the fine art of speeding it up. To represent her I chose one whom some seventy-five thousand business women from all parts of the United States have chosen repre- sentative—Miss Lena Madesin Phil- lips, founder and Executive Secretary of the National Federation of Busi- ness and Professional Women. I found Miss Phillips behind her desk at the Federation headquarters, No. Fifth Avenue, and she smilingly agreed to submit to the test of the quick-action interview. T purposely framed the questions along the lines both of current and of permanent in- terest to other business women and to business men! as their she shook: her head— ‘we'll. start.” - FIRST MINUTE. She's “Business” From the Start and Talks It. @. No. 1—Why shouldn't the busi- ness git] bob her hair? Miss Phillips (although her pretty, dark hair is not bobbed)—She should it she wants to do so. Q. No, 2—Why should the business her if she does bob it? Mise Phillips (with a dry smile and a lift of the brows)—He shouldn't unless he !s prepared to give good reasons for his action. I may say that I haven't yet seen any reasons that pass muster, Q. No. 3—Are employers justified in censoring the clothes of women employees Miss Phillips—The employer who ‘assumes such censorship should also censor the minds of those other ein- Ployees who are so affected by the clothes worn by the women that the work of ths offce suffers. Q. No. 4—What is the most prom- ising field for the modern woman who has to earn her living? mM Phillips—There are promising fields just at present; per- sonally, 1 should that the fiela of sulesmanship las the most to offer the woman of to-day. Q. No, 5—What is her greatest handicap as a business woman? Miss Phillips (uncompromisingly)— Lack of courage and lack of concen- | tration, With true business efficiency, she had taken cractlya minute, one-third of the allotted time, to answer one- third of the question SECOND MINUTE. | Keeps Up With Her Schedule and Hurdles Some Posers Easily, @, No. 6—Dves the business woman attract men as a potential wife and mother? Miss Phillips (with refreshing can- dor)—No, in my opinion she does not —imiess the man {8 unusually sensi- ble. Q. No. 7—Should sie give work after she marries? Miss Phillips (starting forward in her chair, with just a trace of ner- yousness, her chin in her hand, her gray eyes intent and thoughtful)— You have me with that question, If I'm not caretul I'll spend all my time on it! Ob, I should say that it is something which the individual wom- an must always settle for herself and | about which no outsider ought to venture @ geneial opinion, Q. No, 8—What is your advice to many | up her , mental Saar PeLD pom sur RN HER LIVING? | é | f | { ‘ \ MISS LENA . MADESIN PHILLIPS girls who are among the millions of our unemployed? | Miss Phil (speaking incistvely, with a little frown of earnestness)—I should advise them to learn how to do some one thing so exceptionally well that they’rs bound to get the chance to do it. i Q. No. 9—Are men yet willing to admit women on an equal footing in the business world? Miss Phillips (leaning back in her chair, with a shrug)—They are not, and as a result ‘women must work harder than men for success. A woman in the business world always has to prove her effictency, whereas a man usually has to prove his ineti- cien Q. No. 10—What part will business women play in politics? | Miss Phillipe (swiftly and decisive- ly)—Eventually they will control pol!- tics, because men of like position and calibre are so uninterested that they will take no part. | Again we were even with the sched- | ule. Ten questions were answered ot | the end of the second minute. “It’s thirteen minutes of two.” T THIRD MINUTE. warned Miss Phillips, “but if you're] pa. x ” not afraid of the uniucky number?— iA daisies (on ihe Doe ol Mekine a | @.

No. 12—What are some of the most essential requisites for the woman who wants to get and keep a Job? Miss Phillips—The most essential of all requisites—obvious as it ‘may than anybody else. Q. No. 13—What part, if any, does beauty play in the business girl's suc- cess? Miss Phillips (surprisingly)—It Is a handicap, not because it necessarily implies any weakness of character on her part ‘but because of its reaction on those with whom she associates. It undoubtedly is a handicap. Q. No. 14—Is the business brunette the superior of the business blonde, as. gone employers have asserted re- cently. Miss Phillips (who is moderately brunette hersel)--The empioyer who tries to tell me that will have to et forth some convincing reasons. Q. No, 15—Shall we ever see the self-made millionalress—the woman head of a big bank, of a national in- dustry, of a trust?

Gannett said reports reaching here of famine conditions are “extremely exaggerated.” He said American re- lief measures would avert a real calamity. “There is no doubt that the United States is the most popular of for- eigh countries with the Russians,” he added. 129 MURDERS LAID TO BAND AS POLICE GET NEW DETAILS Fontano Is Removed From Tombs to Protect Him From Intimidation. voncerning the operations of a “mur- der syndicate’ has led to many arrests here and in other cities, is now in Raymond Street Jail, Brook- n, instead of the Tombs, It was id the change was made to protect Fontano from intimidation by other defendants who are prisoners in the Tombs.

Mrs. Raffaele said she had not seen him since 1917, when he left ‘home in anger because she objected to this enlisting in the army. Detective Michael Fiaschetti of the Italian Squad, who worked up tho case against Raffaele and the others, testified in rebuttal that Raffaele was badly beaten in Police Headquertera the night of his arrest, but not by policemen. Varotta, said, vhen called to identify Raffaele, sprang at the prisoner and with hands, feet and teeth painfully injured him before the detectives could interfere. Fi hetti denied he dictated a “confession” and forced Raffaele to sign it, as the pris- oner testified yesterday. ——_—_— Finds Be! jead Not Rrulsed.
