New Election Law Renders
Old Tammany Tricks
Impossible.
REDUCES CHANCE OF FRAUD
Voters Now Ttequlred to Sign When
Registering and Voting, and
Iodffing-ITcraso Keepers
to Furnlsli Lists.
TIT LLOYD P. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK, July 10. (Special.) Tho
appointment of William F. Baker aa Com
missioner of Police has caused the vari
ous anti-Tammany organizations in Great
er Now Tork to moan bitterly about the
"machine plat" to win the coming elec
tion by fraud and trickery. The fact re
mains, however, that the Legislature has
mo arranged things that the police will
have very little effect upon tho result.
The old days of false registration. In
timidation and ballot box stuffing are
over, and at the present writing New
Tork can Justly cluim to have the fairest
elections in the United States.
There are drastic laws upon the statute
book today, the rigid enforcement of
which. In the opinion of experts, will go
far toward giving New York a fair elec
tion next Fall, no matter what Baker or
tho police may try to do to prevent It.
Voters Must He Identified.
The Importance and possible effective
ness of two of these In particular have
been pointed out by ex-Assemblyman Ed
ward R. Finch, the leading expert of the
county committee in matters pertaining
to the purification of elections. These are
the laws requiring voters to sign their
names when registering and voting, and
the statute giving the superintendent of
elections for the metropolitan district the
power to require of owners and lessees of
lodging houses, at any time during the
year, lists of all male persons over 21
jears of age. residing In their promises.
Mr. Finch is chairman of the special
committee of the county committee which
for several years has been studying
frauds against the ballot and remedies
therefor, and he drafted the legislation of
the last two years which has immensely
facilitated the prevention of repeating.
Both Mr. Finch and County Chairman
Parsons have claimed, and it has never
been seriously disputed, that the law re
quiring the signature of voters prevented
last year the casting of fully 30,000 fraud
ulent votes.
Tammany Will Bo Pesperate.
The Republican leaders are keenly alive
this year to the importance of cutting the
repeating vote down to a minimum. The
coming election is one of the most impor
tant that Tammany Hall has ever had
to face. The rln has had hard sled
ding for four years, because of the May
or's break with, the organization, which
Is only partially healed at the present
time. To lose this Fall would mean four
years of starvation for the Tiger. This
explains why the Republican leaders are
convinced that Tammany will make most
desperate efforts to win In November.
"The bills that we had Introduced last
"Winter."' said Mr. Finch, "were designed
to make tho present law more self-enacting.
They would have been of material
aid in checking fraud had they been en
acted, but the present laws will accom
plish very much if they are thoroughly
enforced, as I hope and believe they will
be.
"Lost year the law for the personal
Identification of voters was not fully en
forced. We did not insist that it should
be. As you know, it was a new law, and
everyone was more or less afraid of it,
because it was not known exactly how it
would work. It was feared that so much
time would be taken in comparing the
signatures with those of registration day
that in election districts having a large
enrollment, the booths would close before
many voters had a chance to cast their
ballots.- and that, in consequence, very
many would be practically disfranchised
because of the necessary delay.
Erfect of New Law..
"That situation was very largely due to
the fact that In many election districts
there was an excessive number of voters.
In some cases there were fully 800. The
remedy, and the only one, is to have
smaller election districts, and this has
been accomplished by the new legisla
tion, which has been granted us from
Albany.
"The personal identification law is the
beat statute that has ever been placed
upon the books. "When a voter presents
himself at the place of registry, he is
asked to sicn his na.niA In hnnv 1
ed by law.
"On election day he Is called upon
again to sign his name. If the two sig
natures do not agree, the Inspectors of
election, and there are two of each
party, have the right to refuse to re
ceive his vote.
"The comparison as required by law,
was not fully made last year. This
year, however, we are going to insist
upon its being made. But although the
law was not fully enforced last time,
it had its effect. The repeaters did not
dare to attempt to get around 1L It
was an entirely novel proposition to
them, and they were afraid to take any
chances. For that reason, and for that
reason alone, the usual gangs of repeat
ers were not brought in from other
states. . . v
Lodging-House Men Scared.
"While the personal Identification law
makes it possible to place an effective
check on the repeater at the polls, the
law giving the superintendent of elec
tions the power to get lists of resi
dents ' at any time from lodging-house
keepers- makes possible a check at the
other end. where the trouble is. The
method adopted by those who conduct
this repeating business involves the co
operation of lodging-house keepers.
The usual way ia to go to such a person
and ask how many names he or she will
stand for. Usually the. lodging-house
keeper agrees to stand for six or eight.
The list of names is handed over, and
then repeaters register and vote on
those names. It is a fact that thou
sands of-votes have.been cast that have
been mere fictions or tricks such as
these. Sometimes these fictitious per
sons are kept on the lists for years
and are accounted old voters.
"The law dealing with this particular
phase of election fraud has been on
the books two years. It provides that,
if the owner of a lodging-house fur
nishes the superintendent of elections
with a list which states that a male
person .has .resided there for a longer
period than he has actually resided
therein, or if the owner puts upon the
t list a name under which no person has
resided any length of time, the owner
shajl be sullty of a felony and in ad
dition liable to a penalty of $1000, I
which shall be a lien on the house and
lot- !
Stops 7 0 Per Cent of Frauds.
"This is very drastic, and lodging
house keepers are slow to take chances
with such a penalty staring them in the
face. The law makes it possible to purge
the rolls long before election time, so
that in the last few weeks attention may
be given practically to the 30-day voters.
I believe that this law furnishes the
means of stamping out at least seventy
per cent of the voting frauds.
"This question of pure elections is really
the most important political issue with
which the city of New Y'ork is concerned.
"Vet it is one the gravity of which it is
hard to impress on the average citizen.
Y'ou tell him that thousands of votes are
cast that are mere tricks and he will say
"Oh, that may be done in some instances,
but it cannot be very general.' There is
plenty of evidence to show that tho fraud
ulent vote was cut down at the last elec
tion by about thirty thousand. As a re
sult of our Investigations, we estimate
that in Important contests the fraudulent
vote may be as high as fifty thousand.
Considering the fact that many elections
in the city have been decided by margins
much smaller than this, the Importance
of the proDlem Is sufficiently manifest."
DEATH DUE TO MURDER?

TIOX IX SUTTOX CASE.
Brother Officer Says Oregon lieu
tenant Carried tin n and
Was Unbalanced.
WASHINGTON. July la Attorney
Vandyke, counsel for Mrs. Sutton, of
Portland, who has succeeded in having
the second investigation made of the
cause ol the death of her son. Lieutenant
James N. Sutton, says that the second
hearing will clear the young officer's
memory of the suicide finding, and will
show that he met his death by murder
Instead of suicide.
In an extended interview this mor
ning Van DyKe reviewed the testimony
of the former hearing, contending that
the evidence was contradictory, not
given under oath, and did not Justify
the finding of the suicide verdict.
Lieutenant Adams, of the Marine
corps, one of the principals in the af
fray in which Sutton's death occurred,
is quoted this morning by local news
papers as saying:
"I sincerely believe Sutton intended
to shoot me that night.
"We had a falling out about three
weeks before the shooting. Previous
to that Sutton and I were on very
friendly terms. He had intimated to
others on various occasions that he in
tended to get even with me. He al
ways carried a gun. It was the con
sensus of opinion in barracks that Sut
ton was somewhat lacking mentally,
and that may account for his attempt
to shoot me."
Adams admitted, however, having
taken his coat off and having rushed
Sutton, but asserts this was only in
self defense. Adams has requested
permission from the Navy Department
to read the testimony he gave on the
former trial but his request has been
denied.
Details for the board of inquiry,
which will meet July 19 at Annapolis,
will be made immediately.
LITTLE EVIDENCE EXPECTED
West Point Men Will Tell Little of
Alleged Hazing.
WASHINGTON. July 10. The War De
partment here has no report of what is
being done by the West Point board of in
vestigation into the alleged hazing of
Cadet Sutton by his fellow-cadets. Adjutant-General
AInsworth expressed the
opinion that the inquiry into, the alleged
hazing would be fruitless of definite re
sults because of the evident disposition
of the cadets not to testify.
The cadets are following methods of
giving no information beyond what may
be drawn forth by questions and Sutton
himself has given no testimony fixing the
alleged assault on any individuals. Until
the report of the investigating board has
been transmitted to the War Department
no action will be taken here regarding the
case.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 10. (Spe

Sc. Tin Plate Company, and the struggle
for the same principle by the Evansville
Street Railway Company, have called at
tention to the work of industrial associa

that there have been steady movements
among employers of labor for industrial
freedom; and that the unions, as a re

of these are skilled laborers, and that the
total membership of labor unions is but

He is charged with having been guilty of
a bomb outrage at 6S21 Center street a

AVhile this arrest was being made.
State's Attorney Wayman made the announcement-
that the July grand Jury
would take up a thorough investigation
of the bomb outrages, covering two years.
Previous to this announcement 25 wit
nesses were taken before Mr. Wayman
and statements which It Is believed will
clear up many of the bomb crimes were
secured by the Cook County official.
The witnesses examined by the State's
Attorney' were taken to te Criminal

of the prosecutor. Important revelations
were . made by two members of a labor
union, it is said, but Mr. Wayman refused
to give the slightest inkling of the evi

questioned, he was kept in the anteroom
until all had been examined. The wit

together, surrounded by detectives, who
prevented any persons from talking with

by the large number of amendments!.
More than 200 of the amendments con
sist of changing the phrase, "as provided
by sections 1 and 2 of this act," to
read "as provided by this seotion." These
changes were made necessary by the
action of the Senate in consolidating the
dutiable and free lists and making the
maximum and minimum provision the
second section of the bill. Nearly 300
other amendments relate to phraseology
over which there will be no dispute what
ever. It is pointed out that there are
more than 40 amendments that repre
sent opposing views. Few members of
the conference committee are willing to
place the time necessary for the com
pletion of the bill in conference at less
than ten days.
It was agreed today that many of the
more important provisions should be sub
mitted to sub-conferees, and other sub
jects . will go to members of the com
mittees on ways and means and finance
who were not named as conferees. As
sistance was giver, also by members of
the Senate and House who had no official
part in framing the bill in committee. '
The explanation was made today on
behalf of Speaker Cannon that the con
trolling motive with him In selecting the
House conferees had been the question
of locat'on. His chief desire was that
all sections of the country especially in
terested in the tariff should liavo been
represented on the committee.
If the conferees had been selected ac
cording to the rule of precedence among
members of ways and means committee,
the Mississippi Valley country would have
ben represented by Boutell alor.e, while
the Eastern states would have had four
representatives, including two from New
England. This the Speaker considered
would be an inequitable distribution.
Iseedham of California was left oft ac
cording to the explanation, because the
Pacific Coast has very few interests that
are involved in the pending bill.
