DotVt Pay Your 50 Cents
to Assessors, Is Warning
"Pay no money to nny one until
you register at your division polling
place," is the warning given by Mrs.
Walter S. Thomson, chairman of the
Philadelphia branch of Itcpublfcan
women, to women who are being ns
ressed. Mrs. Thomson said she had
read how women in another city were
fleeced by nn "assessor" who do
innnded money.
Men politicians in the downtown
wards today were warned by the Phila
delphia branch of the League of Women
Voters not to interfere with prospective
women voters.
Mrs. Harriet E Hubbs, executive
secretary of the Philadelphia branch,
uttered the warning. Mrs. Hubbs is
just- back from Canada, where she said
women bent tlie women of this country
by u year in getting the vote.
"I arrived here Inst night." she
snid, "nnd it was only a short while
afterwards that I was told politicians
were already at work trying to control
women in the downtown section, par
ticularly in the river wards.
"The League of Women Voters is
going to light thnt sort of thing to tlie
limit. That is the very reason for the
existence' of the league. If politicians
of the ward-heeling type nre able to
direct the votes of women it will nullify
nil the good that we expect to result
from suffrage. HVas these same down
town wards where politicians nre now
nt work, that -defeated the suffrage ref
erendum in Pennsylvania in 101."."
Mrs. Hubbs snid that education, is to
be the big work of tlie league. Intelli
gent voting by women cu,n come only
through instruction, she said.
"Citizenship schools nnd classes,"
she said. 'Jure to be established
throughout the state, to make every
woman an intelligent voter familiar
with the procest.es of government and
voting."
The work of the league has increased
to nn extent which has made Iwrl office.
necessnrv. one for the Pennsylvniiiid
binnch and the other lor the Philadel

Mrs. Hubb-i. in her criticism of efforts
of politicians to "interfere" -nitli women

FERRY COMPANY'S
Camden City Solicitor to Ask
Speedy Hearing on
Protests
COMPLAINT IS FILED
City Solicitor K. G. C. Uleakly. of
Camden, whose formnl protest on behalf
of the city against increased rates on
the Delaware river ferries was resumed
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
today, suggested hearings be held in this
ritv, nnd that officials of the Philadel
phia and Camden Ferry Co. be com
pelled to produce their books nnd n
statement of earnings for the last ten
years.
Officials of thn commission estimate
that nt least sixty days will elapse be
tween the receipt of a formnl complaint,
expected Mnndny nr Tuesday, nnd tho
opening of public hearings.
I'nder the Interstate Commerce Com
mission's rules the ferry company will
have twenty days to file an answer after
the formal complaint has been lodged'.
The objection of Camden officials and
business interests ngainst tlie boost from
three to four cents is heightened by what
they say are the enormous earnings of
the ferry company, resulting iu divi
dends of IS nnd 20 per cent,
Mr. Itlcnklv, iu his informal protest,
asserted the ferry company is n corpor
ation separate from the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which controls it, and that
the ferry company has different stock
holders nnd n different organization.
Pending the outcome of the public
hearings anticipated and the commis
sion's ruling, the new rates will stay iu
effect. The cost of ten-ticket strips ad
vanced from twenty-live to thirty cents
and the rates for transporting vehicles
were increased.
The membership of the Camden Cham
ber of Commerce special committee was
announced today by William J. Strand
wltz, president of tlie chamber, who
will art us committee chairman. Ills
colleagues nre .T. V. Moron, Francis
U. Wallen, A. Rnnsville Frome nnd E.

By the Associated Press
Marion, 0., Aug. 28. Pronouncing
the existing League of Nations a def'
initc and irredeemable failure, Sen
ator Harding today proposed a new
effort to construct a world associa
tion on the framework of the Hague
tribunal, clothed with such attributes
of the league covenant as may bo
found safe and practicable.
He pledged himself, if elected
President, to make an immediate ef
fort, with the advice of the ablest
men "of both political parties, to form
such an association cither by "put
ting teeth" into the Hague court ojr
by revising the covenant to protect
ational aspirations.
I The declaration was made in a
Jront-Prc" speech to a delegation of
Ai.uioiiu ni-ijuuiicuiis, covering in ae-
tail the Republican nominee's posi
tion on the nation's foreign rela
tions. The senator replied directly
to the arguments of 'his Democratic
opponent, Governor Cox, and de
clared the league issue had been
squarely joined. -

by a world association for confer-
erice, on the one hand, and the coun
cil of the league on the other."

Poland, and now has "passed bevond
the covenant would be welcomed
abroad, and answered suggestions
that he be more specific by asserting
that detailed specifications wero im-
possible in view of changing world
cpinion.
Passage of a peace resolution, ho
continued, would make an actual and
effective peace without negotiation
of a separate treaty with Germany.
