Senator Burke said: "For example and only for purposes of illustration, I would call your attention to the condition that existed in your city three years ago this coming November.

The gas company, which was selling gas to your city, was demanding an increase. The members of the City Council, apparently not knowing what was going on behind the scenes, declared such an increase to be unjust, unfair and wrong, and were ready to so vote, but suddenly the electric wire spoke; the absentee landlord in the city of New York gave his commands to the renters in Cincinnati. He wired the Clerk of the 'Municipal Court, Mr. August Kirbert, and Mr. Cliff Martin and Mr.

Froome Morris and gave them some information. "Working With Our Friends." "In that telegram he said that the Council Committee, with 'our friends' (which has been interpreted to mean the gas people themselves), were working out a contract ordinance; and then he added: 'Very essential that Republican Councilmen agree, and that organization get behind the Council and share "Then, fearing that those who were fighting against this increase and standing for the people's rights might convince some of the Councilmen he said in this telegram: 'We must not permit unfriendly influence to Then he used this significant sentence in closing: 'You are authorized to discreetly make any use of this that you see fit. (Signed) "Immediately following the receipt of that telegram, most of the City Councilmen, I am told, voted for the increase, and for all practical purposes that communication came directly from the headquarters of the gas company. Under the kind' of government that you have in the City of Cincinnati, when you permit such things as this to occur, the people have no voice.

I am simply calling your attention to these facts in order that you may catch more quickly the character of fight that I have encountered in the State of Ohio in standing for those measures for the people in meeting this group of politicians, who are carrying out the will of the privileged class. May I give you briefly the story, 50 that you may understand it?" "Chains In Corruption Links." Burke characterized the Senator, public jobs and public money to pay personal political debts the first link in the chain of political. crookedness and corruption, and the granting of contracts to contractors in return for contributions to campaign funds as the next link. The following editorial from The Enquirer was quoted by Senator Burke: "It congratulates those sane and intelligent members of the special committee who sought to make this report an open declaration of warfare on the alien and domestic leeches who, parading under the sanctity of party banner, have perverted and prostituted the great Republican party of Cincinnati to their own unholy and mercenary purposes. It pledges itself again to support and uphold all decent men and women in their effort to give good government to our great city." want to, express my appreciation of the position which The Enquirer takes on this boss and commercialized politics in the City of Cincinunati," Senator Burke said.

"I frankly ask them why they do not take the same attitude regard to the same forces at work in the politics of the State of Ohio. "The Enquirer that this alien boss of Cincinnati and Maurice Maschke, of Cleveland, and others of like character, are dominating, as much within them lies, the political life of the state." Senator Burke said he differed from the seven other candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor in that he favored the running of every department of state's acthe tivities wherein there is no difference between the parties, on which the Republican and Democratic parties agree, such as the highway, law enforcement and public welfare departments, as a man would run his private business, whereas the other candidates believe "to a greater or les: degree in the old machine scheme of running affairs." Promises Good Appointments. The candidate promised he would if elected appoint efficient men regardless of whether or not they supported his candidacy. He said: "The prime qualifications for the position of Highway Director shall be, first, that that man shall know soil and drainage; that he shall know asphalt, concrete, brick and other material, and that he shall have no connection whatever with any commercialized politician who is trying to keep his hands in the cash drawer through the appointment of his henchmen to these positions, and should I find that man who is completely qualified has supported someone else rather than myself, I shall appoint him rather than appoint a man who has supported me and who does not qualify, "I had rather, as a matter of fact, appoint a man in charge of that de-' partment as Highway Director, who has supported Vic Donahey for Governor, and who was qualified, than to appoint a man who has supported J. F.

Burke, and who wasn't qualified, and if you don't want that kind of man nominated and elected as Governor of the State of Ohio you vote for one of the other men and stand for the Gang Rule." Senator Burke is to continue his campaign in Cincinnati and Hamilton County today, when he will make three addresses. His first speech is to be at noon at Fourth and Pike streets. This is to be followed by one at Alms and Chapel streets at 7 o'clock and one in the public square in Norwood at 8 o'clock. TO INSTRUCT WOMEN VOTERS.

Cincinnati's heat wave was broken last night by a sudden flurry of rain, but not until it had claimed one victim, Mrs. Sarah Welsh, 57 years old, of 445 East Sixth street, widow, whose death, according to Coroner D. C.

Handley, was due to heat prostration. Mrs. Welsh, who had been suffering from rheumatism and heart disease, died suddenly yesterday as her son, James Welsh, was fanning her. He believed she had fallen asleep, but became alarmed when he could not detect her breathing and summoned Dr. W.

T. Lindsay, who pronounced her to be dead. The rain last night brought to a close a three-day period of recordbreaking torridity, during, which the mercury remained above 90 degrees, and mention of the weather was excuse for insult or fight. It descended without warning upon a gasping city and sent pedestrians scurrying wet, but smiling, for shelter. The mercury did its best to reach Tuesday's high mark of 97, but lacked the stern stuff generally required of ambition and fell one degree short, barely topping 96 for an eight-degree rise above the maximum for the same day last year.

The thermometer got away to a flying start with a minimum of 74 degrees, from which it climbed to 80 at 8 o'clock and 92 at noon. This equaled the record of the day before, but the silver ribbon, weakened in the stretch and pass 96. Here it hovered until driven to lower levels by the rain. Humidity registration yesterday at noon was 40 per cent, 1 per cent lower than Tuesday at the same hour.

Operating Expenses, Taxes, Fixed Charges and Capital Return To Be First Levy on Receipts. 'Additional sections of the new street railway franchise were agreed upon tentatively by representatives of the city and the two traction comyesterday.

Inventories and panies disposition of gross receipts were among the points upon which agreerents were reached before the conference was adjourned until today. Because an agreement on fare control was considered to be necessary for any agreement on capital return, this question was passed until later. It was tentatively agreed, however, that capital should receive a 6 per cent return, which would be cumulative. It was agreed also that operating expenses, taxes, fixed charges and return on capital, in the order named, should be the first charges to be made on the gross receipts. The balance of the gross receipts, after these deductions, would be paid into the fare control fund.

The conferees provisionally agreed upon the section covering inventory and disposition of assets. After a discussion over whether the company should file an inventory with the city authorities or whether such inventory should merely be "accessible" to them, it was decided that for the present none should be filed. In the midst of this argument, Walter A. Draper, of the traction company, said that a franchise could not be framed, based on the supposition that "the street railways director will he a fool and the company a crook." In this connection, it wa sagreed that the company would be, obligated to pay half the cost of the Street Railway Director's office, provided this did not exceed $30,000 a year, and that its maintenance should be considered as an operating expense.

Joseph Brady, Hamilton, Ohio, was arrested last night in Hamilton on warrants charging attack and assault and battery, sworn to by two girl hikers whom he is said to have given a ride early yesterday. He is to be tried this afternoon before Justice of the Peace Robert Haskins, of Springfield Township. The girls, who gave their names as Zedina Weaver, 23 years old, and Marseilla Weaver, 21 years old, both of 1221 Martinsville road, Knoxville, charge Brady attempted to attack them early yesterday after he had picked them up when they were hiking toward Cincinnati from Hamilton.

According to the story told to Sheriff Richard B. Witt, the girls left their homes several days ago to hike to Cincinnati in an effort to obtain employment. They were assisted by motorists who gave them rides, but they missed Cincinnati and arrived in Hamilton Tuesday night. They were walking toward Cincinnati when Brady passed them and offered to give them a ride. When at the Mill road, New Burlington, the girls charge, Brady threw Zedina from his machine and drove away with Marseilla.

Brady drove the car a short distance when he fell asleep from intoxication, Marseilla told Sheriff Witt. She took the keys to the automobile, made a note of the license number of the car and started in search of her sister, whom she found near by. The girls obtained lodging in a farm house on Mill road and notified Sheriff Witt, who dispatched Deputies Sperber and Brierlein to investigate. Brady's car was traced to Hamilton where he was arrested. He was released on bond to await trial.

N. BRONSON, of the Technical Advisory Corporation, Consulting Engineer to the City Planning Commission, says: "The proposed street improvements which are to be voted on by the people of Cincinnati on August 12 represent the first step toward the realization of Cincinnati's city plan." "They are not haphazard recommendations, but are all components of Cincin-1 nati's thoroughfare system." "Each improvement will take its place in the 'order of so that the actual expenditure of money will be spread out over a period of The "Order of Urgency" of the Program of Progress, if adopted at the election, will be fixed after consultation with Cincinnati Planning Commission, Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, Engineers' Club, Program of Progress Committee, Real Estate Exchange, Federation of Improvement Societies, Labor Council, Many Other Civic Welfare Associations. Back Up the Makers of the City Plan. Vote "FOR" on All Improvements. Citizens of Cincinnati generously subscribed to a fund with which the City Planning Commission might prepare a comprehensive city plan for the orderly development of this municipality.

The work of the Commission started two years ago, and the results will be presented in a final report this fall. At present the city is contemplating certain street improvements which have been the subject of discussions for some time. It is obvious that major improvements of this character should conform to the comprehensive scheme of thoroughfares which is the result of costly investigation and study by engineers under the direction of the City Planning Commission. In 1 order that the public may know something of the methods of analysis used in creating the City Plan, of which the thoroughfare plan is a vital part, I will outline the major studies which were made in evolving a thoroughfare plan for Cincinnati. The entire 72 square miles of Cincinnati proper was surveyed by Field Engineers, equipped with large-scale maps on which the following items were indicated by them.

The status of every street, the location of car lines, the width of roadway, type and condition of pavement, the existence of curbs and grass, strips, width, type and condition of sidewalks and the total width of streets. The setback distance for every structure, the width of each side yard, depth of each rear yard, height of each building, number of families in each, the kind of business or industrial use, home occupations, rear. yard uses, parks, playgrounds, institutions, etc. With slightly less detail they surveyed 160 square miles of the territory adjacent to Cincinnati. The road survey covered the entire county.

After the survey maps were completed, the property-use map was prepared. This map, on a 400-foot scale, shows the use of every piece of property in the city by symbols, thus producing a miniature city for study purposes. A circulation map, on the 400-foot scale, showing the width of streets and roadways, character of improvement and present traffic densities on the main thoroughfares, was prepared. A population map, the backbone of all community development was prepared after extensive investigation. This map, by a symbol for each 25 persons, shows the distribution of population for 1900, 1910 and 1920, with the increase or decrease in each block for each census period.

As indicated above, the use map shows the number of families in each structure and as the U. S. Census reports gives the population by small enumeration districts, the location of spots on the map is practically without error. Studies are made to. determine the expected future total population of Cincinnati in 1970, and the next problem was to distribute this future populaion on the population map.

As it is of paramount importance in locating service facilities, highways, to have a reasonable basis of estimation, the distribution of this future population was affected by building tendencies, present and proposed transit lines, proposed building zones, real estate values and various other influencing factors. Knowing the existing thoroughfares, the traffic on each at present and having available all of the data on the circulation in Cincinnati, it then remained to provide for a comprehensive system of thoroughfares to meet the ever-increasing needs. It was the aim of the engineers to provide the most economical routes of travel between the various population centers by arterial highways, both radial and circumferential or cross-town thoroughfares. Various studies were made to arrive at the time at which, streets should be widened, new streets constructed, etc. These studies resulted in a comprehensive circulation system, which was checked against all the other phases of the City Plan, so that the thoroughfare plan would be: a well-balanced part of Cincinnati's comprehensive plan.

This plan was created to control the development of Cincinnati for a period of approximately 50 years. that all of the proposed improvements could not be completed simultaneously, the Commission is preparing what might be called an "Order of Urgency" for the various projects. The present proposed street improvements, which are to be voted on of by the the people of Cincinnati, in August, are all parts thoroughfare plan; they cover but a small part of the total recommendations, but as a whole they represent the first step toward the realization of Cincinnati's City Plan. It is not the purpose to analyze cach sreet improvement in this article, but to present an outline of the studies which precede the formulation of a well-designed thoroughfare plan for a community. In studying the proposed improvements I find that they are not haphazard recommendations, but are all components of Cincinnati's thoroughfare system.

It should be fully realized that all of these improvements will not be made at once, but that each improvement will take its place in the order of urgency of the city's needs so that the actual expenditure of money will be spread out over a period of years.
