CHICAGO, April 4.?Women will vote for the first time in a Chicago municipal election April 7, when thirty-five aldermen are to be elected and a referendum vote cast on a number of bond issues. The campaign which closed today has been carried on largely on the non-partisan principle. Eight candidates are running without the backing of a political party. There are eight woman candidates for alderman and each made a vigorous campaign. Scores of political clubs were organized by women in the different wards and numerous mass meetings held Many women took an active interest in the campaign, and in several wards the woman vote may decide thfe contest. There are 258,000 woman registered, and it is estimated that 80 per cent of these will cast their ballot. Interest in Woman Candidate. Interest of woman suffragists centered in the fight made by Miss Marion Drake, a court stenographer, who is running for alderman o*> the progressive ticket in the first ward against John J. ("Batjrhouse") Coughlin, democratic boss, who, with his colleague. Michael C'Hinky Dink") Kenna, ruled the politics of the theater, hotel and downtown shopping quarter for twenty years. Miss Drake is supported by Jane Addams. and all the prominent leaders of the woman's movement, th* Municipal Voters' League and other reform organizations. U. S. Not to Disturb Carriers' Plan.

PUBLIC UTILITIES BENEFjTOFPEOPLE Reasons Advanced for Municipal Ownership of the Local Electric Railways. PROPOSAL IS FAVORED BY THE DISTRICT HEADS Corporation Counsel's Comment on Relations of Transportation Line anH T.iWit rnmnniiv ?- ?o?- ?jr?' | In statements regarded as practically the administration'^ pronunciamento | concerning the proposal for municipal ownership of local public utilities, DisI trict Commissioners Newman and Sldj dons, speaking last night before a j largely attended meeting of the Park I View Citizens' Association, came out | strongly in favor of the plan, j Engineer Commissioner Harding, chairman of the public utilities commission, gave his official capacity as a reason for not expressing his \-iews on the subject at this time, but Conrad H. Syme, corporation counsel and legal adviser of the commission, backed up the stand of the civilian heads in a speech in which he excoriated the management of the Washington Railway and Electric Company. He suggested revocation of the charter of the company and the transferring of its assets to the people. Preceding the District officials. Representative Robert Grosser of Ohio, spoke at length upon the problems of municipal ownership. His remarks were heard by a large representation of officials of the local government, including, in addition to those named, Charles F. Nesbit, superintendent of insurance; E. W. Oys! ter, member of the board of assistant assessors; Daniel E. Garges. chief clerk j of the engineer department; J. G. WilI Hams, statistician of the public utilities ; commission, and others. Should Take Over Natural MonopolyMr. Grosser declared that when a natural monopoly exists and is of such a character that it is used by all the people its functions should be taken over and exercised by the municipal government. He discredited the suggestion that municipal ownership of street railways or other utilities would lead to the building up of a powerful political machine. Private companies operate street railways merely for gain, he charged, whereas municipal governments would operate them with the one object of providing the best and cheapest transportation facilities for the people and of making extensions info th*? rnnntrv tr? elieve congested conditions in the cities. Cnless special privilege is destroyed, the speaker warned, this country will meet the fate of Rome. Mr. Syme, who was largely instrumental in the framing of the bill recently j introduced by Representative Ben Johnson, providing for a divorcement of the relations between the Washington Raiij way and Electric Company and the Po[tomac Electric Power Company, criticized j President Clarence P. King of the former i concern for a statement alleged to have I been made by him to the effect that the proposed separation of the two utilities I is lega.ly impossible. Attorney Syme's Criticism. I He said in part: "No stronger argument of the necessity for municipal ownerhsip of certain public utilities could be advanced than the statement of Mr. King, president of the Washington Railway and Electric Company, that he was informed by the counsel of the company that the separation of the electric lighting interest from the street railway interest as proposed by this bill was legally impossible and to do so was immoral and economically unsound. "The act of Congress under which the Washington Railway and Electric j Company exists provides that this company 'may acquire and hold shares of the capital stock or other securities I of any company supplying or under | contract to supply electric power in the operation of its railway,' and 'as a part of any contract for the supply of said power this company may exchange its stock and securities for the stock and securities of any such electric power company, but in no event should it be authorized to*receive a transfer of the property or franchises of such electric power company.' Meaning of the Enactment. "The meaning of this enactment is perfectly plain. It was to enable the i Washington Railway and Electric Com|pany to extend such support to any existing electric power company as jNvould render assured the furnishing of power to it and its associated com! panies. Certainly it was never intended that this thus limited enabling | clause should be used to give the WashI ington Hallway and Electric Company an absolute monopoly of the public and | private electric lighting of the Dis; trict of Columbia. It was never contemplated that this clause would he abused to enable it to pay any large part of the dividends on its $15,000,000 of stock out of the pockets of the electric light consumers of this District. It was never intended that the Washington Railway and Electric Company should acquire every share of the capital stock of the only company in this District that furnishes electric light. It was never intended that by this stock ownership it should create absolutely identical boards of directors, iix the price for public and private electric lighting and power and discriminate in favor of itself as a conI sumer of electric energy. "To hold that the power given it by Congress to enable it to conduct its | legitimate railway business can thus j be abused by the coippany, to create an I Illegal monopoly in a product not conI nected with or a part of the street railway business is to assert a proposition as bad in law as it is rotten in morals. To suggest that obligations ! entered into upon an illegal basis and for an unholy purpose are so sacred ! that to disturb them is unrighteous indicates that long-continued, unbridled power is more conducive to monopoly than to morality. AIIpcpr A Vim r a r?f phwilowoc O "The abuse by the Washington Railway and Electric Company of its charter privileges to thus acquire this monopoly in electric lighting is ample, and more than sufficient of Itself to justify Congress in the immediate revocation of its charter, the appointment of a receiver for its property and the compulsory transfer of its assets and franchises to hands more respectful of law and the rights of the people. "The easiest, the quickest, the surest, and perhaps the only way to handle this situation is to take over the property and franchises of the Washington Railway and Electric Company upon a fair valuation and place the title to the same in the District of Columbia. My deliberate belief is that when its property is thus taken it will be found that it is earning more than a respectful dividend upon a fair valuation. It may not be earning any dividend whatever upon its present capitalization, but its present capitalization is the last thing that should be considered in fixing its true value. "When the beneficiary of a public grant becomes too powerful to obey the law, and considers that its coercive force is 1 insufficient to rectify unsound conditions I and illegal monopolies in public service | corporations, the time has come when its public activities should cease and other agencies should carry out its obligations to the public and not consider themselves over, above and beyond the law in so doing. You can be assured the law is suf' (icient for this purpose. You need not be, alarmed at the statement of the presi- j a dent of the Washington Railway and Electric Company. The time is far distant and the day remote when either Congress or the public utilities commission 1 .will find It necessary to take their law from the counsel of this company or their morals from its management." President John G. McGrath of the association cabled on Insurance Commissioner Nesbit as the third speaker, and that official responded with the novel suggestion that if real estate owners can operate elevators in buildings without cost to the public municipal governments might also be able to run street railways on a no-charge basis. He stated that the building of extensions into the country and opening up of communities which J would add to the taxable area might | prove to be a sufficient financial consid eration to enable cities to maintain free street car lines. Views of the Commissioners. Commissioner Newman, president of the hoard of Commissioners, referred to the , management of the District of Columbia water department as an example of how effectively public service functions may , be discharged by municipalities. The cry of socialism, he urged, should not frighten those who see advantages in the municipal ownership plan. Everv ouestion which has come before the public utilities commission, he stated, has stood on one proposition?the element of private profit. The commission, . he pointed out, is required to protect the profit of the companies as well as look 1 out for the interests of the public. It is : practically impossible, said the Commissioner. to regulate for the public weal any of the utilities when the element of private gain is constantly bobbing up to defeat the purpose. While stating that, as a member of i the utilities commission, he should not be expected to announce in advance of official declaration his attitude on such questions as municipal ownership, Com- . missioner Siddons declared that, as a citizen, he had no hesitancy in asserting that public service can only be rendered by public servants and not by private Individuals. Commissioner Harding said the successful operation of the District's water department is due to the fact that it is under an efficient management, which is on the job in the interest of the people twenty-four hours every day. The Engineer Commissioner paid a tribute to the work of the corporation counsel, decla; ing that < this official is proving a thoroughly ca- ? pable and conscientious servant of the people. Clean City Program Indorsed. \ Prior to the discussion of public utlli- . ties questions, the association, which met j in the Whitney Avenue Christian Church, i Georgia avenue and Park road, held its regular monthly business session. The clean city campaign was indorsed, and an appropriation of $5 authorized for the use of the clean city committee. Charlton M. Clark in a brief speech thanked the Commissioners, on behalf of the association, for their aid in having the Park View School Item included in the District appropriation bill, and expressed the hope that as soon as the appropriation is authorized effort will lie made by the authorities to have the improvement started with as little delay as possible, WILL LAY FINAL PLANS FOR CAPITAL CLEAN UP Committee Meets Monday Night. I % 1 Citizens' Associations to Cooperate in Work. Final plans for waging Washington's third annual clean-up campaign during the week of April 13 to 18 will be discussed at a meeting of the clean city committee to be held Monday night in the rooms of the Board of Trade. Reports of the finance, publicity and other committees will be made at that time, and instructions issued to the leader* who are to direct the big sani tary undertaking in the various sec- ( tions of the city. Announcement was made today of the completed personnel of the finance committee of which Mrs. Charlton M. Clark is chairman. The members are Former Commissioner Cuno If. Rudolph, James F. Oyster, Corcoran Thorn. Worthington Bowie, Judge Charles S. Bundy, W. H. Saunders, Charles W. Clagett, Preston Shannon and Mrs. Jackson H. Ralston. Trying to Braise $150. The committee is endeavoring to raise $150, but as yet only about a third of the amount has been pledged. Donations should be sent to Mrs. Clark, at 3536 Warder street northwest. Reports from citizens' associations stating that they are planning to appoint special commtitees to supervise the cleanup work in the territories over which they ; have jurisdiction are reaching the clean city committee with every mail. There is scarcely a doubt but that every cltl- | zens* organization will take part in the hipr tenr nn jlirf The Park View Association last night enthusiastically indorsed the plans for the campaign and voted an appropriation of $5 for the purposes of the committee. In many sections of the District clean-up ' work already has started and it is ex- : pected that thousands of tons of refuse will have been removed from the city before the campaign gets under wav. 1 i * - , Deaths Reported.
