CHIEF FORGER CONFESSES Barnes on Tfomlnating Petition Cop Jed From Voters' Register No taries Certified Falsely, betters Involve Leaders. NEW YORK, April 6. (Speclal.)-Of such importance Is the Information -which has reached District Attorney Jerome concerning the men, who were the moving ispirits in an alleged plot to forge thou sands of the names which were on the nominating petitions of William R. Hearst for Mayor, as well as of the other candi dates on the Municipal Ownership League ticket, that it is believed some of the principals will be placed under arrest next week Goldberger Confesses Forgery. Kur hours Benjamin M. Goldberger. a i irk ;n the Register's office, who had full charge of the forgery operations, was closeted today with Assistant District At torneys Kressel and Whiteside, and a stenographer took down every word he :ald. and this was afterwards placed in the form of an affidavit. There is no doubt that Goldberger. fac ing a long term of imprisonment and wishing to save himself, if possible, has made a full confession of his part in the transaction. Men who first approached him, he says, were prominent in the Mu nicipal Ownership League and were aware that he was to copy from the city record a list of names of registered voters. He has told how and by whom he was paid and has produced documents to corrobo rate much of his story. Says Notaries Swore Falsely. He ?ays that of the 6500 names on the petition, he turned In 5000, and that his reward was 10 cents for each name. He had 12 notaries public, who were paid to take acknowledgments of the signatures. And says that they did this, knowing that they were certifying falsely, and that there was also a force of men who posed as notaries when in reality they were not. They were supposed to flu up the petition blanks and certify that all was right, and for this received C cents for each signature. Letters From League Leaders. Goldberger handed over letters from men high in the councils of the Municipal Ownership League and checks which had been given to him In payment for his services. Joseph G. Klein, one of the notaries who signed the petitions by wholesale, without ever having sworn the signers or seeing them place their signatures on the hlariks. was questioned at length by Mr. Kressel. and his story of the plot wa6 identical with Goldbergcr's.

Alger's office In this city that he will not be a candidate to succeed himself in the Sen ate wTien the Legislature meets In Janu ary next.

Charges of fraud In the returns upon the municipal owner ship proposition voted on last' Tuesday have been received by Corporation Coun sel Lewis and the County Court and the Election Commissioners will be asked to investigate the matter. It is asserted In U precincts the returns upon all of the three propositions relative to municipal ownership show exactly the same vote, and this is said to be an Impossibility. It Is claimed by the advocates of muni cipal ownership That a recount will show a gain of 8008 votes for the proposition and these, together with the same loss for the negative and an error of 1009 votes already fouad In the footing of the vote in the Tenth Ward, -will give the municipal ownership proposition sufficient votes to become effective. , Calls Transports Old Rattler..

Household Hints Allow a shorter raising for bread to be cooked by steam, since the dough will ripe during- the cooking be cause of the lower temperature employed. Fried oysters, fried sausages, thin slices of boiled ham. forcemeat balls, chestnut puree, stuffed onions, sliced oranges, lemon wedges, glazed chestnuts, rice croquets and parsley are used to garnish roast turkey. To keep the silver bright without constant cleaning dissolve a small handful of borax in a dishpan of hot water with a little soap, put the silver in, and let It stand a few hours: then pour off the suds, rinse with clear cold water and wipe with u soft cloth. After steaming suet or fruit puddings, set them in a hot oven long- enough to dry off the top. If cooked in larjjc sized baking powder cans such puddings will cook In one hour. x To have the soup plates hot (as they should be) dip them In very hot water and wipe quickly. Plates for grlddle-cakes should be kept in the oven until time to serve. Worth-While Savings in Handsome Silks and Smart Dress Fabrics Special for Saturday Only Fifth-Street Annex First Floor.

In his address today at the opening of the 76th annual conference of the Latter-Day Saints, created a stir among the thousands of hit fol lowers assembled In the treat taber nacle by a pointed reference to absent apostles. His remarks were Interpreted to mean that the church authorities hare determined to discipline those apostles who for more than two years save been In voluntary exile. These are Apostles J. W. Taylor, George Teas dale and Matthias F. Cowley. All were wanted at Washington as witnesses In the Shi oot Investigation, but the suhpena-servers have been unable to tlnd them.

The matter probably will come before the conference Sunday, when an apostle will be named In suc cession to the late Mariner W. Merrill and poslbly to succeed the three ab sent members of the quorum.
