Rcilstrntlon for the November elec
tion was denied today to nbout 3000
wmn whose names had been ordered
on assessment lists by the. election
court. This is the last registration be
fore the election.
The prospective voters were barred
from registration, and therefore from
TOtlnf, by a ruling of the Board of
'Registration Commissioners.
The board pointed out the state con
sitution and the personal registration
Iiw calls for assessment two months
prior to an election.
The women voters nffected, they held,
were not assessed until after Septem
ber 2 and therefore are legaHy ineligible
for registration.
The Republican city committee,
jhrough its counsel, Leopold C. Glass
will ask the registration board to re
scind its ruling. If that course fails,
he lUted, an appeal will bo taken to
the election court.
Women leaders were amazed ntr the
new turn given the situation. They
scensed tiie registration commissioners
of sttnding on a technicality and of
obeying the letter instead of the spirit
ot the law.

secretary of the Pennsylvania League of

Decline In Railroad Demands Cause
of September Reduction
Washington. Oct. 2. (y A. P.)
The nation's 'gross debt was reduced by
$:siT,;in,UUrj In September, according
to figures made public tefday by the
Treasury Department.
Most -of the reduction occurred In
the floating debt or issues of certificates
of indebtedness. Outstanding certificates
now aggregate $2,347,701,000, which
is included In the total gross debt of
$24,087,3.ri0,000.
Government receipts for the month
totaled 5011,000.000, while expendi
tures fell below $500,000,000. This dif
ference, which was larger than usual,
was explained as due to a decline in
the demand for funds from the railroads
under the guarantee provisions of the
transportation act. Utliciais said, how
ever, that the same ratio between re
ceipts nnd expenditures probably would
not bp maintained next month. Thev
expects the railroads to come in for
lurger sums.

noon to Franklin Field for the clash
between Pcnn nnd Bucknell.
Although the kick-off of the big game
was not scheduled until .1 o'clock, there
wns an appetizer In the form of a. game
between the Rrdlnnd Blue freshmen
nnd the Naval Flotilla eleven from
I.engue Island.
This gnme started at 1 o'clock.
The cheer leaders were Till primed
early today to give the Red and Blue
of the support possible from the stands.
The band wns all tuned up, too, and
things looked rosy for n big crowd and a
pleasant Saturday afternoon.
Pennsylvania took her final workout
yesterday. The prnctice consisted of
the lighter phases of the game A stiff
signal drill wns preceded and followed
by punting, forwnrd passing nnd leg
work. The men who will stnrt this
afternoon nre in excellent condition, but
there nre still a number of the players
who are not In perfect trim who may
be sent into the fray as the contest
progresses.
Helsmnn thought this morning thnt he
would stnrt Miller at quarter. Rex
Wray and Harvey at the halfback po.
sitions nnd Joe Strauss at fullback. He
was anxious to have Whitehlll in nt
full, but he has not fully recovered from
his recent injury, so Doctor Light nd
vjsed that he do sideline duty only to
day, unlehs there is really need for him
to go late In the game.
Thomas Won't Start
Acting Captain Curl Thomas won't
stnrt, either. lli was slightly hurt in
the scrimmage Thursday and the
coaches do not care to take any chances
in having him play if there is danger
ot nis developing worse injury.
Caldwell, Fnrrell and Wntklns are
likely to get before the end of the
game. All of them have shown un well
in prnctice during the past week, hence
it is fairly certain that they will be
given an opportunity to play against
Bucknell.
On the ends, Pennsylvania will have
Wallace and Hill Grave to stnrt
C-rcennwalt has been doing excellent
work, particularly in going down under
punts and nailing the quarterback, so
it is a certainty that he will get in for n
while in place of either Wallace or
Grave. In Thurman nnd Ward, the
Red and Blue has a pair of mood
tackles thnt should easily hold their
own. Ward will be depended upon to a
big share nt the lioie-maKtng, n neces
sary phase of n tackle's duty at which
he Is very adept. Frank again will be
at center ami will De Hanked by I.cn
ham and Copeland.
It hud been honed that Don OrliT,,.
would be able to work off his conditions
nnd get out the Held by this time, but
it appears he eouldn t or didn't. His
whereabouts were somewhat of a mys
tery until yesterday, when it was dis
covered that he wns no longer at Penn

P. R. T. RECEIPTS UP
AFTER MIC PLEA
Voluntary Refusals to Take
Transfers Added to 4569
on Friday
ONLY THIRD OF SUM NEEDED
The Philadelphia "Rapid Transit Co.
reported today nn Increase of $4500.1
iuT iu. receipts Friday oyer the sama.
day of last wcetf as 'a result? of Hie' Vol
untary dlsilso by thp public of 'trans
fer and exchunge tickets. This Is nbout
one-third the extra amount desired by
thccnmpnny.
Virtually every conductor Is co-operating
to improve tho, receipts of the com
pany, officials reported, but nt the same
time each has been requested not to an
noy passengers by urginj them to n-fuse
trnnsfers.
It Is the desire of thp company, it
wns said today, to get a real test re
garding public opinion on the t-trnight
five-cent fare, and for that reason thev
do not want the conductors to go out
of their way to Influence enr riders.
Company Is Satisfied
The official report follows:
"The Philadelphia Rnnlil Transit C.
reports that ns n result of the first day's
voiuutnrj uisusn ot transfers nnd e
ehnnges earnings were increased S45n!i
-s compared with the same day last
week. ,
"The P. R. T. Co. -4s well satisfied
with this initial response of the car
riders, particularly in view of the fact
that the passengers hud not been In
formed of the company's intention until
the' change was made on Friday morn
ing. "Commencing on Sunday morning,
cards setting forth the reason for a
straight five-cent fare now. as against
eight or ten cents later, will be dis
tributed to all passengers.
"A substantinl Increase in the num
ber of passengers paving the five-cent
faro Is expected to follow the presenta
tion of these cards, and the earnest so
licitation of the train crews during the
coming week."
On some trolley lines conductors' re
ported they had given out from 500 to
000 fewer1 trnnsfers yestcidny. One con
ductor on Route 42 of the Spruce street
line huid he knew of sixty rnes where
riders voluntarily paid straight fares for
two rides instead of asking for free
transfers.
Tho underbills: rental question will
bob up again Monday before the Supe
rior Court. The court recently issued a
supersedeas based on the contention of
the underlying cnmpnntes that the Pub
lie Service Commission had no jurisdic
tion over the rentals.
Judge Unn 1 Hear Court
Counsel for the commission, the un
derlying companies and the I'nlted
Business Men s Association will nrguc
tho question before Judge Linu, of the
Superior CourtT
On account of the delay by Council
iu considering the ordlnnnce of the com
pany providing for n stroight five-cent
fare with no trnnsfcr or exchnnges, It
will be impossible for the P. R. T. to
collect this rate of fare with official
sanction before November 10.
Council's transportation committee",
meeting for tho hecond public hearing
of tho week on the higher fare, nd
journcd until next Friday morning
without taking action. As a result,
tho higher-fare application cannot be
reported 'But of the committee before
the geueral meeting of Council on
October 12. Then a week must elapse
under tho rules bo that the drdinance
can be prluted. No action on the

SUNDAY PUBLIC LKDGER AND
PRESS COMIC SECTION
By CLINTON XV. GILBERT
Stan Corrrspomlcnt Evenlnr Fubtlo te4tt
CopvHoht, into, Iv PvbUc Ltdoer Co,
Columbus, O., Oct. 2. At hcn'dquar
tcrs here the Democratic .managers
count upon the League of Nations Issue
to change the political complexion ot
Ohio between now nnd November.
The tnnnagera are aware that at the
present moment Ohio is Republican)
They do not admit It to be so mpch'
Republican ns the Republicans nemr
selves claim it to bo. nor as'falrly im
partial newspaper observers believe it
to be; but they are aware it is cerj
talnly not Democratic;.
Cox leaders are making an intensive
campaign, with meetings in small
places throughout the state, and the
one issue on which they count Is the
league. They view the situation as does
Taggart, In Indlann. They argue that
their best chance to win Is to make the
public believe that the league affords
the' best hope of preventing wnr.
Want to Hear About League
Interest In the league is keen at Re
publican headquarters also. Senator
Arthur Capper "spoke in the state As
he discussed the waste of the war and
Democratic inefficiency nt Washington,
people walked nut of the meeting, but
when lie -got dpwn to the League, of
Nations the rest of the audience stayed
to the end.
The Columbus Dispatch printed a.
few days ago an article on the league
by Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale.
Nothing published in Ohio during the
campaign caused, so much comment- and
discussion as this article. The Demo
crats say it 'made votes for them nnd
arc causing It to be reproduced "in 300
Ohio newspaper. It certainly caused
talk. The llcpubllcans admit that.
The public likes to hear about the
League of 'Nations ; likes to rend about
It: likes", -to talk about "it. The cam
paign" here Js in 'full swing nnd the
.league 'is probably the most ,dijtcu3sed
issue. It'fcnds itself to discussion. '
People Veary of War
"You cannot, talk for an hour on tb
need of a change ut.WaHhington,'1 mld
some one at Republican 'headquarters.
The lenruo is the crent talkinc noint of
brfth lparflpsyime:r,inr5Wnly ' toyPUhsr.
-controlling incror in, me eijonoj.;j-,j.i
In n fffent issue with, tnc extremists;
with thoso who believe In the .league
on the one hand, and those .who thisk
the league would Involve this "country
dangerously In European affairs, ' ob
tho other.
But the great mass of the people only
want some kind of organization, that
will lessen the likelihood of wnr. They
do not understnnd the technical de
tai's of the league discussion and they
care less about them than they do about
having a clinnge at Wnshiugton.
The Democrats, have been counting
upon the women ns possible league
supporters. Since the Maine election,
however, people have come to believe
that women will vote generally us men
do. Some tests have been made In
Ohio. Indeed, voters hnve been more
thoroughly tested by polls and can
vnsses here than iu nny other state In,
the union.
The results of the tests of the women
voters here nre not conclusive. Straw
votes never nre. A newspnper poll,
took In the women and men of the
same families. The purpose was to
find out whether wives voted as their
husbands did. or daughters as their
fathers. This po'l tended as far ns it
went to show that they did. The re
sults, like the result of all the poll
token, favor the Republicans.
Women Strongly Republican
At Republican headquarters It is
asserted unit tests hnve shown the worn'-. '
en of tiie state to be even more Re-
publicnn than the men. For instance,
a very thorough canvass of a raining
community wits made. It showed, 102
men voting for Cox, n'. ngainst eighty
seven for Harding. But in the fame
communis were found 172 women
for Harding. The Republican man-,
ngers argue that the wives and '
sisters of organized labor listen less
than their men folks to the union labor
arguments for the Democratic candi
date and think" more of the high cost
of Mving as a reason for making- a
change ot Washington.
Tests of the labor vote in Ohio made
under newspnper auspices indicate the
Democruts are likely to be disappointed
in their hope to have this, vote nearly
solidly. A poll of railroad labor
showed a ote of two to one In favor
of (.U). But a vote of two to one In
favor of the Democratic candidate Is
hardly more than the normal dlyislon
between the two parties. If this poll
is tplcul, Mr. (Jompers is not suc
ceeding iu delivering the union vote
to the Di'inocrnry.
