Lewis Wrests
Control From
Governor's Backer Suffers
First Defeat in Dis?
trict Primary
Long a Leader of
Kings Republicans
Withdraws Candidacy for
Delegate When McTurk
Strength Is Shown
Jacob Brenner, a power in Repub?
lican politics m New \ oi'k State for
nearly a score o? yeai's, received his
lirst hi;; setback when his own district,
A., i mbly, refused '??' elect him
as a delegate to the Republican Con
en i . in the unofficial primaries held
County yesterday.
i on oi t'ai' enrolled Uepub
? ? : the 8th, a district over which
Mr, Brenner has presided for many
years, was due to his open support of
Governor Whitman. His district,
which is a strong Lewis bailiwick, let
him down comparatively easy by elect?
ing him an alternate.
Mr. Brenner, who is Commissioner of
Jurors in Kings County, appealed to
:,;? district to elect him a delegate.
This occurred immediately prior to the
holding m' the primaries in the district
headquarters, in the Federal Repub
ican Club, in Union Street.
??'or answer, two women, Mrs. Julia
M. I'. Hustis and -Mrs. Jessie McGahie.
'. ere placed in nomination. Their
names wer.e seconded, and they wore
regularly chosen. Then Harold Mc?
Turk, w!io has been fighting Brenner
oi more than ? year, was nominated
and seconded. One of Brenner's fol?
lowers then placed him in nomination. ;
Kniii O. Brandes, another Whitman1
man. next was pl-ced in nomination, i
'I o oppose him the supporters of Attor- j
ney General Lewis put forward John P.I
Hurley, an Assistant District Attorney. !
A counting of noses showed that Bren-'
nor and Brandes received hut nineteen :
otes to the twenty-seven for McTurk
, nd Hurley.
Brenner then announced that sooner
than precipitate a light he would with?
draw as a candidate, and he was chosen
lo ; un as an alternate.
When the primaries closed at 10
o'clock last night, the Lew-is slate in \
the Sth was elected, as ?t was in
other districts controlled by the anti
Whitman forces.
Lewis Gets Majority
In some of the districts Whitman
men and women were elected. But the
majority of the delegates chosen were'
out-and-out Lewis followers.
In none of the districts were opposi?
tion slates put up, as there was an
overwhelming sentiment for either
Governor Whitman or Attorney Gen?
eral Lewis in each district.
So far as could be learned last night. |
not a single delegate known to favor
the candidacy of ex-Senator William
?M. Bennett was elected. When Bennett
ran List fall in the Republican pri?
maries his chief strength came from I
Brooklyn.

Compulsory Use
Of Cornmeal Ends
Order Affecting Bakers Re?
scinded as Big Surplus
Dwindles
Bakers will no longer be required to ;
use 10 per cent of cornmeal in bakery j
products, it was announced at the Fed- j
eral Food Board yesterday. The re- |
scinding of the order of June 1 mak- j
ing the use of cornmeal compulsory, is j
attributed to the utilizing of the enor- !
mous surplus ?if the product, which j
several weeks ago fairly swamped the |
market, due to delayed shipments. The
oversupply prompted the order.
Cornmeal will still remain on the ?
list of of?icial wheat ?lout- substitutes,;
but its use is optional, provided that !
the baker employs enough other sub- '
stitutes to comply with the Food :
Board's orders. The board expresses :
its appreciation of the ready response
shown by the baking industry in ac- ;
opting and executing the order.
The firm of F. Romeo & Co., 374 ?
Washington Street, found guilty of'
overcharging in sales of canned toma- -
t?ies, dried beans and cottonseed oil,
must contribute. $12,800, equivalent to
the excess profits, to the Re?l Cross or
face further prosecution.
At the meeting- oi' the New York
State Food Commission yesterday the
division of foods and markets of the i
Department of Farms and Markets was
authorized to inspect all ice manufact?
uring plants in Ne*v York City ami
vicinity, with a view of pushing the
enforcement of the license, purchase
and sale regulations governing the ice
business. The employes of the foods
and markets division will be equipped
with authority to inspect all books anil
records of the various companies and
examine witnesses.
Havemeyers Daughter
Forced to Pawn Gems
$1,200 Check from Sugar Mans
Trust Fund Failed to
Reach Her
Because a 51,200 monthly check from
a trust fund established tor her by lier
father, %'? late Theodore Havenieyer,
had failed to reach her either this
month or last, Mrs. Emily Havemeyer
Potter told a Bronx County magistrate
yesterday that she had been forced to
pawn some of her jewels for $225.
This statement vas elicited from the
daughter of the late sugar magnate in
(he course of a searching examination
concerning her assets instituted by
counsel for Louis Cerlain, a gown man?
ufacturer of 36 West Fifty-sixth
Street. It was a supplementary pro?
ceeding, and Mrs. Botter broke down
and wept, halting the case until she
was sufficiently recovered to continue.
She said she had been unable to meet
a judgment for $932.61 in favor of
Cerlain because ?if recent financial
difficulties. She declnred that, since
her husband, rJdwar?! Potter, a broker,
and her son entered the service she
had been sending $100 a month to the
latter.
Court Sends Man to Army
Judge McDermott, in the Kings
County Court, Brooklyn, vesterday de?
ferred the trial of Harry Horowitz, of
119 Gerry Street, so that he may not
avoid service in the National Army.
Horowitz, who was charged with hav?
ing received stolen coods, was said to
have claimed exemption on the ground
o? felony. The District Attorney, how?
ever, declared that he could not avoid
service provided he were not convicted,
and the court instructed him to report
to his ?Irait hoard.
"Answer your country's call like a
man," said Judge McDermott, "and if.
like thousands of our boys here and at
the front, you serve well, rest assured
that upon your return the hand of jus?
tice for you will be a caress."

U. S. Board Acts to
Conserve Vitality
Of Women Workers
New Regulations Will Be
Enforced by the Depart?
ment of Labor
By Ralph Block
WASHINGTON, July 12.?The sud?
den tide of thousands of women into
industrial fields all over the United
States has forced the government to
take action to conserve the vitality of
the new workers and to define their
position in industry.
The War Labor Policies Board to-day
made public a resolution embodying the
principles on which women will labor
during the war, and probably after.
The resolution is meant to stimulate
the use of women in clerical and mer?
cantile positions, to bar the employ?
ment of women under unfit moral con?
ditions or where they tire not phy?
sically adequate, and set out standards
! for the employ%\ent of women in occu
j pations such as street railway or public
I messenger service, it will be enforced
! by all the power the Department of
I Labor has now over industries turning
\ out war products.
The new provision tor women in in
| dustry comes a little late. Actually it
is the result of the government's find
; ing its hand forced by the flood of
women, cs much as the result of a real
plan to care for this new factor in war?
time production. The usual procedure
in government circles is to make a
survey first and later turn out a plan
based on the investigation. Rut the
government has been rather lackadai?
sical about the woman question since
the beginning of America's part in the
war, and the j resent situation finds no
actual comprehension at Washington
of the magnitude of the problem and a
temporary inability to arrive at com?
prehension because of its rapidly
changing stages.
England as Model
Without the intervention of the
Labor Department through its newest
'instruments, the War Policies Board,
the woman problem might still be run?
ning around Washington begging for a
hearing.
The Women's Division of the Council
of National Defence hopefully started
ou! to prepare for the extensive ap?
pearance of women in industry early
last fall. England was more or less
the model then, because the women be?
gan to see that sooner or later industry
in the United States would be stripped
of its man power, as had happened in
England, and that the women would
have to step in to keep the wheels
turning.
But the Women's Division of the
Council of National Defence had to
work without money or power and
wasn't able to accomplish a great deal.
Efforts really to prepare vor what !
seemed to loom abend were blocked, not
only by the Department of Labor, which
wasn't ready, but by the Department of
Agriculture as well, which had diffi?
culty in visualizing the woman worker
in the field.
The persistent turning of the
draft machinery has suddenly trans?
formed prophecy into reality. Thou?
sands of women are entering in?
dustries, especially the munition
plants, iind are even finding their;
way into all phases of manufact- j
uring where heretofore men have been
exclusively employed. The necessity of
some kind of standardizing of woman's
work '.cas >o immediate that the War j
Labor Policies Hoard had to take ac?
tion without anything more than a
vague knowledge of the numbers in?
volved. Accordingly, the investigation
of the problem and the actual illumina?
tion of its various corners aro still to
be undertaken.
Only $dO,C?O for Work
The work of application o! the prin?
ciples enunciated by the board will be
under the direction of Miss Mary Van
Kleek, head of the Division of Women
in Industry of the Department of
Labor, a member of the policies board,
and formerly head of the Division of I
Industrial Studie? of the lussell bage
Foundation. The work ?>:' direction is !
handicapped at the star', however, by
the meagre appropriation made for it,
$40,000. The Division of Women in
Industry plan.- in time t.j have a re?
search section of its own, but for the
present it will have to work through
the investigators of the Department of
Labor, and through the community
Baby Taken as Mother Shops;
Found Her, Says Accused Woman
Mrs. Rose Spiro Charged With Seizing Daughter of Former
Friend From Perambulator in Front of
Store in Brooklyn
Baby Margaret Murray surveyed the .
pink lining of her bassinet yesterday,
gurgled and dropped off into the firs?.
? good sleep she had had in twelve hours.
The night had been a hard one for
Margaret, ever since a strange woman,
?>Irs. Rose Spiro, liad lifted her out of
her perambulator while her mother was
. shopping in Brooklyn and had carried
! her off to a strange home, at 288 Front
j Street, Manhattan.
Margaret protested the moment she
: awoke and found herself in a strange
woman's arms, and she kept up her pro
? test all night.as much as a thee
? weeks baby is able to sacrifice sleep in
I defence of its rights.
I Mrs. Spiro did the best she could to
I make her little guest happy, even going
? out and buying a brand new bottle for
her, but Margaret wept for her own
bottle and her own pink bassinet. She
could hear Daniel Spiro arguing with
his wife that she must give the baby
back.
? "I found her, and I'm going to keep
? her," the woman kept muttering, while
| Margaret redoubled her protests.
In the morning, however, Daniel Spiro
j marched his young wife and her find
. to the Klir.abctli Street police station,
! and Margaret was given over to the
j charge of Lieutenant Horrigan. The
lieutenant quickly transferred her to |
Patrolman Lee.
Accounts differ as to who first thought
of tlie re?l-hea?tod baby reported kid-1
napped from Brooklyn, hut Lieutenant1
Horrigan held .Mrs. Spiro and subjected
her to a severe cross-examination, while i
word was being sent to the- baby's par
ents at 285 Fifteenth Street, Brooklyn. '.
.'.1rs. Spiro insisted that she had;
found the baby in the Canal Street sub?
way station, of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit. Company, and upon the advice
of a woman she encountered in the sta
?ion, had brought the baby at once to
the police station. She gave her ad?
dress as 86 Catharine Street, but when
detectives reported that no such person
was known at that address she became
confused.
Meantime, Mrs, Wilhelmina Murray
arrived from Brooklyn and recognized
Margaret as her child.
"I'm so happy to have my baby back
I don't care about anything else," she
said, "I can sympathize with ?>Irs.
Spiro. Never again, however, will I let
my baby out of my sight."
Mrs. Spiro was arraigned in the Ninth
District Magistrate'.-; Court and held on
a charge of kidnapping. She was sent
to the Raymond Street jail to await
trial on Monday.
" A curious coincidence in the case is
that Mrs. Spiro an?! Mrs. Murray used
to be friends several years ago, when
they both lived in the same apartment
house.
? I
: councils scattered all over the country
? and established by the Council of Na?
tional Defence.
j The Labor Department realizes that
; the problem implies a good deal more
i than the conservation of irdustry in
! war time, and that it reaches out
! deeply into the life of the nation. It
I is probable this phase of the matter
i will require more definite assistance
'from tiie Council of National Defence
in it3 country-wide organization than
it yet has been called on 10 give.
'?"he standards for women in industry
are to be identical with those issued
! by General Crozier, as chief of ord?
nance for women in government em
I ploy, and are to follow the principles
! laid down by the War Labor Board.
i General Crozier established for gov
[ ernment women employes the eight
? hour clay, time and a half for over?
time, no night work, a wage standard
? equal to that for men in the ?ame
work, and he made provision for rest
and lunch periods and rest rooms.
On top of this, however, plans will
have to be made for community nur?
series and other facilities looking to?
ward the conservation of children
whose mothers are forced into employ?
ment. This end of the problem is ex?
pected to demand an entire programme
by itself.

80-Cent Gas Upheld
By Court Decision
Public Service Commission
Cannot Change Rates
Set by Statute
(Special Dispatch to Th" Tribune)
ALBANY, July 12? Only by an act
of the Legislature can the people of
New York City be forced to pay more
than the present 60-eent rate for gas.
This was determined to-day by the
Court of Appeals in the case of the
Municipal Gas Company of Albany,
which .?ought to increase its present
rate of $1 on the ground that the en?
forced retention of that rate was con
fiscatory.
The company held that because of
the increased co?t of labor and mate?
rial the $1 rate did not give a proper
return on it:' investment. The Public
Service Commission denied the peti?
tion, and its decision was upheld by
the Appellate Division. When the ap?
peal was taken to the Court of Appeals
the Bronx Electric and Gas Company
and oth?r gas corporations intervened,
and to-day's decision was made to ap?

There have been no crimes committed

some miscreants just the same.
Rockland County's reformation is
causing Sheriff Hurd much worry.
There is no one in the county jail. The
grist mill stands idle and weeds are

some one doesn't backslide pretty soon
the county authorities will have to
hire some prisoners.

Straus Refuses to
Fight London on a
Fusion Platform
Tells Security League He
Will Not Appeal for
Jewish Support
Oscar S. Straus announced yesterday
that he would not be a fusion candi?
date for Congress in the 12th District
against Meyer London, Socialist mem?
ber of Congress. The suggestion that
Mr. Straus run on a fusion ticket was
made by the Congressional campaign
committee of the National Security
League in letters to Challes F. Mur?
phy, leader of Tammany Hall, and Sam?
uel S. Koenig, the Remiblican leader of
Manhattan.
Mr. Straus's reason for declining the
nomination was that if he ran in that
district, where the voters are largely
Jews, it would be in effect an appeal
for support on sectarian grounds.
That, added Mr. Straus, would be ab?
horrent to his Americanism. He would
accept a fusion nomination in his own
district, the 17th, now -represented by
John F. Carew, Democrat, or in a dis?
trict where the vot,* was not largely
Jewish, as in Meyer London's.
Mr. Straus made his reply to the
league's propo*-al in the following let?
ter to Charles D. Orth, chairman of
the league's Congressional campaign
committee:
"I stated some time ago that I would
be willing to go to Congress and give
whatever services my past experience
in national and international matter-*,
had qualified me for, provided I would
' receive the nomination not on partisan
lines but on purely patriotic lines from
both parties. I did this to discourage
as far as I might the raising of parti
? san issues in the coming Congressional
campaign and to postpone national pol
. itics until after the winning of the
war. While I am an enrolled Republi?
can I am pro-Administration, and hope
to remain so until the war is ended.
"I live in the 17th Congress Dis?
trict, and while I would prefer to run
| there, I would run in another district,
but not in the one you propose?where
! the voters are largely, if not predomi
1 i.antly, Jewish. For me to go outside
I of my home district into a district
i where a large, if not predominant, ele
j ment of my coreligionists reside would
i be ir, effeet an appeal for support on
j sectarian grounds. This is so abhor
! rent to my Americanism that I would
I under no circumstances accepi the
i nomination.
"If 1 should go to Congress under
i the condition 1 have named I would
1 represent a constituency regardless of
! religion or party, and could and would
! be independent. I will either go that
j way or not at all. In all my private
. and public life 1 have always been an
: American first and last, and I would
: not run in a district where it could be
properly said I was appealing to a
, racial or religious class instead of to
an electorate on purely patriotic
grounds.
"I am ".ot seeking the nomination for
Contrress, but would be r.r!ad to accept
it if given to me by both partie-, as
above stated."

Hearst Uses
Police Band
As Whitewash
Music for Veterans at
Mount Vernon Supplied
'Through" Editor
Resolution Proposed
To Spanish War Men
Publisher's Agents Seek to
Extol His Virtues as
a Patriot
Mount Vernon, N. Y., will be filled
with music the first of next week, whe
the United Spanish War Veterans ho'd
their annual convention there July r
16 and 17. All of the taxpayers of the
city of New York will contribute toward
the salaries of the bandsmen?but if
has been all fixed up so that all the
credit and glory for the convention cot
certs will go to one citizen alone?Will
iam Randolph Hearst.
In return for the professional ser.
vices of the Police Band of New York
City all that will be expected from th?
Spanish War Veterans' convention ia a
glowing coat of whitewash for William
Randolph Hearst's newspapers and per.
sonal Americanism.
Police officials in charge of the Police
Band said yesterday that the band was
going to Mount Vernon at the request
of a Mount Vernon citizen. But emis
saries of W. R. Hearst have claim
staked the entire credit for the band's
services.
What the Hearst Men Say
The proposition, as usually confided
to Spanish War Veterans by the Hearst
men, is something like this: When the
veterans originally asked city officials
for the Police Band the request was
denied both with emphasis and finality.
But William Randolph Hearst heard
about it. Mr. Hearst always has been a
friend of the Spanish War Veterans.
He got in touch with certain influences
at City Hall, and the Police Band will
report at Mount Vernon. The veterans
of '98 will have Mr. Hearst to thank for
their convention music, and no one else!
After dwelling upon the details about
the band the Hearst agents, who have
been operating among the delegates ex?
pected to attend the convention, next
let it be known that there was a reso?
lution regarding Hearst coming up be?
fore that convention.
This resolution, as outlined by Hearst
workers in words less blunt, will extol
Hearst's personal virtues be a patriot,
give his newspapers a clean bill of
health and soundly denounce all thosu
who have been annoying Hearst of late.
Think Resolution Will Pass
Hearst emissaries have been very
frank with the Spanish War Veterans.
They acknowledge that they believe
everything is all set for the conven?
tion to pass the resolution unanimously.
Why shouldn't the resolution be
passed? They defy anybody to tell.
Was not Hearst responsible for the
?Soldiers' und Sailors' Monument "::i
Central Park ?
At times Hearst workers, when ap?
proaching Spanish War Veterans, hate
given out the impression that William
Randolph Hearst himself presented
this monument. But at later moment'
the Hearst men have conceded that
Hearst newspapers only boosted the
monument so strongly that practically
all the credit for it belongs to Hearst
Then the Hearst agents tell how
Hearst gave his yacht to the govern?
ment for naval use in 1898 However,
as yet no claim has been made by
Hearst men that the yacht participated
in the engagement at Manila Bay.
Will Cost Taxpayers $642
Lastly, according to the usual method
of the Hearst workers,, the prospective
delegates to Mount Vernon are once
more reminded of the Police Band, the
salary of which during a three-oV
convention would be paid by New York
taxpayers to the approximate estent of
$642.80. -
One Spanish War Veteran and he
asserted he spoke for a large number
of his comrades -predicted that tiie
whitewash brush would not be wielded
at the convention until after a scourm?t
implement had properly prepared the
subject for his whitening ablution.
For strategical reason, this veteran
desired to keep his identity hidden for
tne present.
"With my consent." he said, "n,0
Spanish War Veterans' convention wiii
whitewash Hearst until after thescrub
bing brush has scoured out the blotcn
of the charge that Hearst newspapers
justified the Lusitania sinking and ?*
mutilation of the President's Memorial
Day proclamation."
