Reports at hand indicate a continuance of last year's ratio of to 3, with the Republicans on the long end. Figures from 950 out of 1285 divisions of the city showed a Republican enrollment of 39,851, and Democrats. For a supplemental registration day In advance of a primary election without serious contests, the registration surprised political leaders: The largeness of the turnout was attributed to numerous con tests for ward committee places. An entire new registration will be made for the fall election.

Ward Figures Some of the ward returns tabu lated yesterday follow: Crosses Perilous Trail in 90 Days and 'Feels Perfect' FAIRBANKS, Alaska, March 26 (A. VENTURESOME Mary Joyce, 27, completed her 1000 mile dog- sled trek across blizzard-swept wildernesses from Taku today. Old timers said her "mush" was the longest and hardest ever made by a woman In the north. To the 115-pound hunting lodge proprietress who sometimes lived on bear fat and rolled oats, It was just an adventure. "I feel perfect," she said, "but my fur suit Is a little bedraggled.

My last 18 miles were over deep snowdrifts. The temperature was above zero." Sometimes she had to cross Ice cakes on her hands and knees. Once she rescued her five husky dogs from Icy water. Mayor E. B.

Collins presented her with a loving cup from the Fairbanks ice carnival committee, In recognition of her journey and for having been the Beauty Queen of Juneau. 90-Day Trek Miss Joyce left her Taku hunting lodge, 39 miles south of Juneau, December 20. She was on the trail approximately 90 days. Her trek was over the Inland mountain chain from Juneau, up the Yukon River watersheds, down the Yukon to Tanana River and thence to Fairbanks, on the Chena River. She travelled in heavy blizzards, over vast Arctic wildernesses, In sparsely settled Yukon territory, and in temperatures ranging from 35 to 5 degrees below zero.

Three Indian Ill DRIVERS' STRIKE Six men were held In ball and four others released yesterday In connection with disorders accompanying the bakery wagon drivers' strike here. Magistrate Dogole held the half-dozen In $500 ball each for a further hearing on April 10 after he delivered them a short lecture. "Innocent wives, aged mothers and children must be protected from vandalism and cowardly attacks on residences of workers," ths magistrate said. He referred to alleged attacks on homes of bakery wagon drivers for the Freihofer Company, who refused to join strikers in leaving their jobs Tuesday midnight. The strike was called by the Bakery Wagon Drivers' Union at the baking company, 20th st.

and Indiana ave. Later In the day police were withdrawn from strategic points and from the escorting of bakery trucks. The union promised that there would be no further violence. Baking company officials said yesterday there were only 20 per or 100 workers on strike, but union officials declared 350 men were out. A scheduled mass picketing of the plant at noon found only 50 men In the line-up and police cut their patrol around the plant in half.

A motorist returning to the scene of an automobile accident at 2d and South sts. from which he had fled before the fists of the occupants of a car with which his machine had been In collision was set upon by 15 corner loungers and so seriously beaten he was taken in an unconscious condition to Pennsylvania Hospital.

Suffering from a possible fracture of the skull and multiple lacera tions of the eyes and body, Martin Borrow, 29, of 6600 Leeds the victim of the two attacks, was unable to identify two suspects taken by police after the gang of hood lums fled in the face of pistol fire from two officers. One of the men In custody had uffered head Injuries. Incurred, he told detectives, when he fell to the street In the panic of the gang's flight, of which, he maintained, he was a disinterested spectator. Set Upon on Return The second beating suffered by Borrow was administered by the hoodlums when he returned from the offices of the American Radio Telegraphers' Union in the Marine Building, Delaware ave. and South where he had gone to wash him self, lor the purpose of recovering his car.

His original assailants, the fenders of whose machine his car had scratched, had disappeared. The hoodlums, witnessing Borrow second appearance, Jumped on him without warning and were dispersed only by the approach of Patrolmen Silver and Steinberg. The policemen fired several shots after the fleeing men before capturing the two men whom they believed to be members of the gang. SEEK CODICIL PROBATE A codicil, described as unimportant, and not found until after the probate of the will of M. Carey Thomas, president emeritus of Bryn Mawr College, will be probated as part of the will of Miss Thomas after formal authorization by the Orphans' Court, Yesterday James Barton Long-acre, 435 Walnut one of the executors of the will, filed, through counsel, a technical appeal from the probate of the will.

At the office of the law firm of White, Marls Clapp, attorneys for the executors, it was explained that after the probate of the will on last December 7, the codicil, concerning an annuity, was found, and that the only purpose of the Orphans' Court proceeding at this time Is to formally proceed with the probate of the codicil. The Court will probably act upon the matter within a short time. WEATHER CONDITIONS WASHINGTON. Munch 2fl (A.

The bill Is similar to the long code adopted last year, whose enforcement was at once held up by the courts when 1U constitutionality was challenged, but the Councilmen hope this time they have eliminated the allegedly unconstitutional parts. The measure, together with eight others, was sent at once to Mayor Wilson, who Is expected to approve them all.

Two resolutions also were adopted, one of which went down stairs for his expected signature. Replace Old Rules The sign code replaces all previous sign ordinances, except that of 1920 governing Chestnut st. between the rivers, and that of 1930 regulating Market st. between the rivers. It makes the Bureau of Highways czar of the sign business.

For every sign erected on or over the public highways, with certain exceptions, a flat registration and inspection fee of $1.50 must be paid. Under the previous bill, a sliding scale up to $30 was provided. The measure continues existing rules affecting theatrical signs on Chestnut and Market sts. It will become effective 30 days after its approval by the Mayor. A plan to limit all rentals of private property for city use to a one-year period, expiring January 1, 1937, was disclosed by Councilman Clarence K.

Crossan as a resolution was adopted approving leases for several child hygiene centres. Seeks Rental Cut Crossan, who Is chairman of the city property committee of Council, said the bill would be passed with the understanding the leases authorized would be limited to one year. He added that legislation similarly limiting all leases would be introduced next week, to make possible large cuts in rentals paid by the city. Another ordinance passed direct ed Receiver of Taxes Frank J. Wil- lard to lift all taxes (including those for back years) from the Robert Wood Industrial Home and Day Nursery for Colored Boys and Girls.

Grovers ave. near 88th although the property is held In the name of an individual. Other bills passed gave $11,700 to W. E. S.

Temple, lighting expert, for past services; $1128 to J. Jacob Shannon Co. for a pump loaned the city in Sesqui days and then lost; gave the Wm. Penn Charter of 1701 into custody of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania; canceled a contract with the American Phil osophical Society for an exchange of Parkway ground for the society's present home, and made a number of minor personnel changes in several departments. Salary Increases and ten new positions, requiring altogether $28,000 a year, were voted In another ordi nance.

One of the new Jobs, sought by Register of WUls Harry V. Dougherty, provides $7500 to permit him to retain Robert M. Boyle as solicitor. Boyle, formerly a deputy Attorney General, assigned to Dougherty's office, was fired by Attorney General Charles J. Margiottl.

P. R. T. TOOBEY ORDER P. R.

T. officials announced yes terday they will comply as soon as possible with the State Public Ser vice Commission's order for a de tailed statement of the original cost of all P. R. T. and underlier property.

How long it will take to delve back into 80 years of transit history or how much it will cost is not yet known. It was said. Union Traction officials filed In the U. S. District Court a replica tion, or rebuttal, of Mayor Wilson's and P.

R. T.s answers to the un-derlier's plea for $3,000,000 for "use and occupancy" of its property. The replication emphasized that Union is the landlord owning property from which its tenant is making money. A hearing on Union's plea will be given this morning by Judge George A. Welsh.

William L. James, president of the P. R. T. Co-operative Association and newly elected director of the P.

MISS I PHIL Wf 1E1! MID Bandits Reach Plant Be fore $22,000 Does; at Official's Feet Five armed bandits Invaded the plant of the Goodimate clothing manufacturers at 33d and Reed at 11.30 A. yesterday, to discover to their wrath and disgust that the cupboard was bare. They arrived a good two hours before the $22,000 payroll and so were forced to leave empty-handed from their otherwise nicely planned hold-up. One of the baffled gangsters ex pressed his outraged sentiments by firing a shot Into the floor near the feet of a company official. Two of the men sat outside In a parked automobile while the three others rushed Into the plant short ly after they had been deceived by the arrival and departure of an armored bank truck.

The truck, It developed, had only called to get the payroll check not to deliver cash, Bandits Wear Masks Two of the bandits who went Into the factory wore masks. The third used smoked glasses for his disguise. Put up your hands!" they or dered Miss Lee Selber, 20, of 2545 Natrona the telephone operator. Oct away from that switchboard." That was the first step In the holdup. The men moved Into the office adjacent to the switchboard cubby hole and near the main entrance of the building.

They ordered Samuel Bookbinder, general man ager; Aaron Llpsky, mill superin tendent, and Joseph Llpsky, sales manager, to lift their hands Into the air. "Open that safe," they command ed Miss Fritz Llpsky, of 5817 Rod man payroll clerk. She told them the safe was empty and that the payroll had not yet arrived. But, doubting what she said was true, the trio insisted upon seeing lor themselves. The safe door was swung open and revealed nothing but wide-open spaces.

Threatens Victims One of the gunmen began to curse. 'I'll kill every one of you." he shouted, firing a shot into the floor near Bookbinders feet. "Lets beat it," he told his companions. They fled outside and sped off in the machine. Most of the thousand emnlovpes of the plant were at work and did noi Know of the hold-up attempt until their lunch hour.

Leverington Roxborough, $27,763, and George W. Biddle, $24,474. HELD IN REGISTRY FRAUD John McBreen, 49, of Franklin st. near Vine, was held in $1000 hail for court by Magistrate Fitzgerald yesterday on a charge of false voting registration. It was testified McBreen entered the polling place of the first division of the 10th ward, at 811 Summer on Tuesday, and registered as Patrick i McGurk, of 252 N.

Franklin st. The impersonation was discovered when McGurk arrived to register as McBreen was leaving. McBreen, who lives in the 13th ward, told the magistrate, Joyce to Palmer. She is the wife of William F. Joyce, Chicago clubman.

Judge Palmer said he thought the letters, on the whole, were more responsive than aggressive. Mrs. Joyce described one note the tonic effect produced on her by a special delivery letter from Palmer. "Audrey got her ball on the roof of the garage and wanted to climb the trellis to get it down," she wrote. "I thought it looked pretty shaky for her to attempt it.

However, after reading your letter a couple of times, I scampered out In the yard, up the trellis like a ringtailed monkey and threw the ball down to her. That's the effect your letters have on me." Carloads of Love Another letter to Palmer said: "I'll Just never get caught up with all the kisses I owe you." It ended: "Love to you, dear, In carload lots." The letter thanked Palmer for "those lovely gifts," including face powder, of which "you got the correct shade and everything." Another missive said "If you Mtss Fritz Lipsky (upper left) and Miss Lee Selber (right), em' ployeei at the Goodimate Co 33d and Reed who brought no luck to bandit who unsuc-cessfully attempted to hold up the plant yesterday. Morris Pestcoe (lower) proved even worse luck for an armed man who tried to hold-up Pestcoe in a grocery store at 2lst and Fitzwater sts. Pestcoe took gun away. $5000 to Return Fines to $6 Club Voted by Council POST the $6 08T-MORTEMS were said over the late and little lamented Club yesterday in City Council when $5000 was appropriated to refund fines to the last victims of the police towing truck.

Assistant City Treasurer Ralph J. Dill said there are 718 motorists waiting to reclaim their $6 parking fines. The sums were refunded by magistrates, but have not been paid back because a new appropriation was needed. The money will be available as soon as the bill is signed by the Mayor. Towing of parked cars was abolished by Mayor Wilson on January 6, immediately after his inauguration.

The trucks were converted into waons and put into use at the city hospital at Byberry. More than half the fines collected have been refunded by magistrates during the post year. VISIONS 5-CENT CARFARE "From what I have just learned from Mayor Wilson the 5-cent carfare and the completion of the South Broad st. subway are Just a stone's throw away," Councilman Harry J. Trainer told the members of the Philadelphia Real Estate Board at their luncheon In their headquarters, 13th and Locust yesterday.

"So those of you who have inter ests In South Philadelphia should lay your plans for quick developments In that area, he continued, "while the rest should be alert to take advantage of the opportunities for civic growth which a 5-cent fare will bring about." Trainer said that If the Supreme Court falls to approve the Mayor's plan for a 5,000,000 loan to complete the subway and make other improvements, It will be passible, legally, to borrow 45 per cent, of the amount necessary from private individuals and the remainder from the Federal Government.
