THE HORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1905. 8 PiEDOZENINDIGTED Grand Jury Acts on New York Election Frauds. HEARST AIMS AT LEADERS Has Evidence Against Twelve Tam many Chiefs and Promises to Send Some to Jail Cheated Out of 20,000 Votes. NEW YORK. Nov. 10- Ten indict mcnts for violations of election lawTj anI two for assault committed at the polls at the election last Tuesday wore today drawn up by the prand Jury. It was said tonight that Attorney General Mayer and State Superinten dent of Elections Morgan had Insti tuted a searching investigation of tho alleged election frauds, which would be continued until the Legislature mrts. They tonight examined a num ber of witnesses" in connection with frauds and also conferred with Henry E. Yonge, special counsel for Mr. Hearst, and discussed plans to prose cute persons against whom charges may be brought. Two ballot-boxes were found today in a barber shop at 156 Third avenue, one of them full of half soiled and ton ballots and the other empty. This barber shop was the polling place of the first election "district of the Eigh lecnth Assembly district, which is the district of which Charles F. Murphy, head of Tammany Hall, Is the leader. Hearst watchers found the two boxes. Deputies from State Superintendent of Elections Morgans office took posses sion of the boxes. President John R. Voorhis, of the Board of Elections said that the grand jury today required him to dolivcr to it the registry book of the fifth elec tion district of the Twenty-Sixth As sembly district. The book was given to the Jury. Can Convict Tammany Leaders. Mr. Hearst made public a postal card received today and signed merely "Truck Driver," which read: "On Wednesday night five ballot boxes tvero taken from a boarding stable at 232 Front street," The situation today was described by William R. Hearst as follows: "The law committee has discovered some very amazing things, and the deeper we go into this thing, the uglier it looks. Wo have evidence against 12 district leaders, and I am confident that we shall send two or three of them to prison. I am Just as much Interested in the criminal prosecu tion of this case as I am in the recount. In this case it makes no difference wheth er I am declared elected or not, in com parison with the greater duty of sending criminals to Jail." "It was for this purpose," Mr Hearst added, "and to strengthen the evidence against a certain district leader that I made tho offer of $10,000 reward today for such evidence. We have at least sufficient evidence, to prow the neces sity of a recount, and I believe that re count will show a difference of 20,000 votes in my favor." Here Mr. Hearst said that many letters had been received by his mana gers purporting to show that men from Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey had come to New York on elec tion day. and after voting 15 or more times for the Tammany ticket, for which thoy received a $3 note each, they returned to their homes. Mr. Hearst denied the report that "he had retained Joseph H. Choate as his special counsel. Denies Boxes Are Missing. President Voorhis, of the Board of Elec tions, today said the talk about missing ballot boxes was loollsh. The board, ho said, knew now many boxes it gave out. and as far as he knew all that should have come back have been received. He declared that the story about ballot boxes being round In the river Is all false. It was announced at Tammany Hall to day that Tammany district captains have secured evidence showing frauds commit ted by Hearst's supporters on election day. Several leaders said that, while a re count might lessen McClellan's vote, the counter charges of fraud which they in tend to bring against the Hearst organiza tion will likewise bring about the lessen ing of the Hearst vote, and that In -this way an equal reduction will be made in the vote, which will not affect the result. An offer was made in Wall street today to bet $10,000 against $50,000 that W. R. Hearst will be seated as the next Mayor of New York. MINOR OFFICES STILL IJT DOUBT Both Parties Continue to Claim Vic tory In Ohio. COLUMBUS, O.. Nov. 10. Complete re turns from the state ticket, except for Governor, are still unavailable, with the result that both the Republicans and the Democrats continue to claim the election of all minor stfite officers. Official return! received from 18 counties show that Harris, the Republican candi date for Lieutenant-Governor, has an av erage lead in each county of 740 over Her rick for Governor. If this ratio should be maintained in the remainder of the S3 counties, whic his considered doubtful. Harris would have a lead of 66.000 over Herrlck in the state. This would Insure the election not only of Harris but all the remainder of the Republican state ticket. Attorney-General Ellis and State Treasurer McKlnnon claim that returns received by them from a majority of the counties indicate their election by a plur ality of 15.000 to 20.000. The Republicans claim the lower branch of the Legislature by 62 to 59, and the Democrats claim it by C2 to 53. On the unofficial returns the Senate is composed of 19 Democrats and 18 Republic-ins, but the Democrats claim i by 20 to. 17.

BROOKLINB, Mass., Nov. 10. The ob servance of the 200th anniversary of the incorporation of Brookllne, which has long held the name of being the wealthiest town in the world, was opened today, and will continue throughout Monday. Son" ator Lodge, in the course of his address, said: The belief that great combinations of cap ital should not and cannot be allowed te operate unchecked and unwatched is " not only natural, but Found and right. But tlire is a. wide distinction between Govern ment supervision nnd regulation of there enormous agencies for the conduct of busi ness and Goi-ernmcnt ownership and opera tion of such agencies. The one Is a neces sity In the public Interest, developed by modern conditions; the other Is "revolu tion In our entire theory nnd practice of government.

It Is not expected that the entire water supply of the city will be affected by the strike if it comes. The strike will affect only .that part of the North Side which is supplied through the pumping station at East Chicago avenuo. Miners Demand an Increase PITTSBURG. Nov. 10.

Miller, mayor of Tumwatcr, Wash., as the real "Charlie Howard" who mar ried Mary Alameda Moore, now Mrs. !afgreen. would have ben impossible, but for the fact that, taken off his guard when getting the marriage license. Miller gave his mother's correct maiden name. "Jt was inscribed upon records," said the lawyer, and after the lapse of 22 years Is available to prove that Charlie Howard, who married Miss Moore, could "not have been Laclede Howard. Mrs. Leafgreen In her deposition In her suit for the Laclede Howard estate, offered in eidencc the certificate of her marriage to Charlie Howard. Its genuineness was proven, but we always contended that the identity of the man who married Mrs Loaf green and that of Laclede Howard were entirely separate. Traced Down the Line. "By a hnppy inspiration proof of this contention was sought on the records of the marriage license office of the county In which the license was issued. With the correct maiden name of Miller's mother, it was comparatively simple to trace the maternal relatives of the spur ious Charlie Howard. They were traced through many states to Pennsylvania, where the survivors were able to tell where MHler was living at present. There Is no doubt In our minds that Mrs. Leaf- life."

GOOD NAMES AS DECOYS Carnegie Points Oat Source of In surance Scandal. NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Andrew Carne gie, upon disembarking today from the steamer Baltic, on which he arrived here last night, talked on American politics. He spent the Summer at his castle in Scotland. After expressing himself In favor of honest elections, and declaring that mu nicipal ownership was bound to come some day. Mr. Carnegie said: "The insurance scandals have made a profound impression throughout Europe. The root of the trouble is that there are so many men in America who are so good-natured that they lend their names to financial Institutions and assume du ties which they have not time to perform. Their respectable names are used as de coy ducks by the real maangers of the institutions over which they have no control. What we need to control such evils is men in office who are not money grabbers, who are retired from business and who will conduct public offices as they. would their own business. "A bad Impression is caused by the fact that business men will not protect their names as they protect their dollars. Their business and moral standing has been lowered. It has caused wonder that men have allowed their names to be used as a blind. I have been asked time and time again to become a director of some of the Insurance cow panics, but I replied that if the institution is a good one I will trust my dollars with It, but not my .xaav is .sacred.

Mystery of Son "Who Came to Amer ica and Settled at Washington Remains Unsolved. LONDON, Nov. 10. By permission of King Edward, the Dally Chronicle asserts, a package of papers consigned to the care of Coutts' Bank by Mrs. Fitxherbcrt (Maria Anne Smythe) under the stipula tion that It was not to be opened for a long period, has now, after 70 years, been opened, and proved to contain the mar riage certificate and other indisputable proofs that George IV was actually mar ried to Mrs. Fluherbert. Mrs. Fitzherbcrt became the wife of the Prince of Wales, afterward George IV, In December, 17S3. Tho marriage of Ihe Prince was Invalid under English law, though It was sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church, of which Mrs. Fitxher bert was a member. It was expected that the papers In Coutts' Bank would settle a question which had agitated the British public for over a century, as to whether there was issue from the marriage, but there is nothing in the foregoing dispatch to show that the question has been solved. It had long been reported that there actually was a male child, and that this child emi grated to the United States and settled in Washington, where he died some years ago, after living very quietly, bat la good circumstances.
