TRUSTEES REFUSE
! WILSON PENSION
►
(
No Reason for Refusal—Applica
tion Caused Adverse Com
ment.
.Ww York, Nov. 'I'l.—The trus
tees erf the Cairnegie fund (for
<ln> pensioning of disabled col
lege professors today announced
I heir derision on the application
made by Professor Wilson, now
president-elect of the United
Stales for a pension under the
terms of I lie gift made hy Car
negie some years ago.
The trustees refused to make
any statement oilier than lo say
that the election of Professor
Wilson to Ihe presidency did not
in any way atlVel their judgment.
Considerable adverse eommeiit
was made hy Ihe press «»f the
United States when it was lirst an
nounced about a year a pro that
Professor Wilson was an appli
cant for a pension, lie was at
that time governor of the slale
of New Jersey.
ONLY TWO MORE STATES
NEEDED FOR INCOME TAX
Washington. Nov. 2 i--Forinal
notice of Ihe ratification by I lie
stale of Louisiana of Ihe income
tax constitutional amendment
reached the Stale Department to
day. Thirty-throe stales have
given notice of their approval of
this amendment and Ihe depart
ment is daily expecting notice
from the stale of Ohi.i, whose
legislature has already acted fa
vorably.
The alTirmative \otes of only
two states are now necessary to
the three-fourths required by
the constiution for the adoption
of the amendment. It is not
doubted that the necessary votes
will b- forthcoming during the
coming winter sessions of the
legislatures of the following
states which have not yet acted
upon the amendment: Dela
ware, Florida, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, New Mexico, Penn
sylvania, Vermont, Virginia. West
Virginia an,j Wyoming.
Only two s| ales--Minnesota
and Massachusetts—have so far
acted upon the amendments sub
mitted to them by congress pro
viding for the election of I'uilcd
Stales senators by popular vide.
Mrs. Dr. Axtell is Ihe lirst wo
man to lie elected lo Ihe legis
lature in the state nf Washing
toil. She is also the only one
now in the legislature. Her home
is in llellinghaiii.

8ALE OF 8UBWAY
TI0KET8 IN ONE YEAR
New York.—Statistics of Sub
way travel for the twelve months
ended June 30, 1912, were given
out by tki<* Public Service Com
mission. It appears that in the
year covered, 302,973,850 pas
sengers took rides on I he sub
way, of whom, omitting those who
bought tickets at slat ions, where
there is only one ticket booth,
100,870,993 were northbound and
105,077,059 were southbound.
This represents a daily travel of
891,000 passengers over a rail
road which was designed to car
ry iOO,000 a day. The net in
crease for the year is 20.209.000
passengerh. and litis is an in
crease of 77,202 passengers for
each day. This is not equal to
the daily increase of 1910 over
1909 or 89.800, hill is more llian
three limes as ureal as I lie in
crease of 1911 o\er 1910. which
was only 22,7 7 2.
When stations are considered,
the tremendous amount of bus
iness which Times Square brings
