nistrict rented one of the rear apartments
IN tbis building. Soon after he rented this apart
ro.nt he brought young man in TO live with
him and do his cooking as he explained to some
~ the other tenants. The colony in the little
dark and stuffy rear apartment has been growing
over since. Now there congregate there nightly
anywhere from six TO dozen men who spend
the nights in drinking and carousing. The apart
ments occupied by these men are well back from
the street. In order to reach them one has TO
enter the building through the basement. walk
through long, unlighted passage through the
cellar thence across marrow court, up step
and through hall.
In accordance with the Tammany programme
in this district. these men have not registered
vet, but are busily engaged in acquiring res
idence."
This little colony Of stanch Tammany sup
porters has become well and unfavorahly known
in the Fifty-frst Election District. and now
its fame is spreading throughout the
Assembly District. The members OF this colony
have made themselves obnoxious to the other ten
ants in the house. Anthony Bucholz. laoorer;
lives ON the floor above the apartments occupied

and his wife have been annoyed for weeks by Mi.
German and his gang Mrs. BuchOlz said yesterday :
When Jimmie German first took possession OF
| the rooms below us we didn't care, because he
| wasn't there much, but every day he has been
| adding TO his family, and now about dozen
| men come every night and most OF them sleep
| there They are employed OIL the Third Avenue
Cable road. I believe. They are never there In
the daytime"

association is the great Tammany Hall club Of the

mans colony have not been learned.
IN CHEAP LODGING HOUSE
The attempt at colonization which is to be
| made in the Sixty-eghth Election District is how
ever. the most important. At No. LOO Third
ave. at Sixtyffth-st., there is 15-cent lodging
house of unssvory reputation. 1t is known as
| the Stanwix House. 1t accommodates nightly not
! less than 230 men, the worst element of that part
of the CITY, A gang of men who are willing to
sell their votes to the highest bidder sleep in this
so-called hotel In former years it has been the
| practice of the dodgers in tie StanwlX House 70
| register early. But, In accordance with the Tam
! many programme not a man has been registered
from the sta2wlx House: me IN only person regis
| Trainer, the proprietor of the barrOom at that
number who is IN no way connected with the
| clearinghouse enterprise.
| When a Tribune reporter entered the Stanwix
| House last evening he overheard man giving
| instructions TO the clerk as TO the manner in
which he should receive Republican inspectors who
might visit the house before election day This
| man said "Now look here, If any Republican
inspectors, policemen or roundsmen come in here
and ask you any questions about how long John
| Jones or any other has lived here, you don't
have to tell him everything you know" After
repeating this admonition several times the man
To the reporter the clerk said: ave take care

The clerk said that when the men registered ir
the lodging house they simply gave their last
names.
HOW THE PLOT WILL BE WORKED.
So here in this disreputable clearinghouse are
.23O men, nearly all of whom transients. A
great majority Of the present dodgers will not be
in the house on the next registration day, but
it is calmly proposed to have the whole gang GO
TO the Board of Registry at No. 1,065
Third-ave and register as lawful voters
1t is proposed by the Tammany heelers to crowd
out every Republican voter who wishes to reg
| lister. This is clearly the intention of these
| schemers that the following notice will be sent
to every Republican voter in the district tomor-
row:
