MORE ILLEGAL REGISTRATION,
Auburn Haired Harry Hayes in
Trouble, and Jail.
He Is Charged with Appearing
Twice on the List.
The Two Registration Receipts which
Are Supposed to Be His-super-
visor Flint's Letter to the
Central Committee.

Two men are, go far, in Jail, charged
with illegal registration, with prospect
of many more today.
The frat was William Paul, Repub-
lican, indicted by the grand jury.
The second was arrested yesterday af
ternoon on complaint filed in the fed
eral court by George Brown, in the
employ of Detective A. B. Lawson.
His name, as he gave it to United
States Commissioner Van Dyke when
he was arrigned, is Harry Hayes, and
he says he is a Democrat.
He is charged with registering twice,
and there are some very singular feat
ures about the case. A HERALD reporter
was shown the two registration receipts,
which are the basis of the charge.
They are both in the name OF Hugh
Hayes, and the officers are cure that
they have secured the right man. If
they have, it will be in order for the two
registration deputies to explain some
puzzling discrepancies in the descrip-
tions they took OF the man.
In one of the certificates Hugh Hayes
gives his place of residence in the Eighth
ward, at No. $50 North Main street. He
is described as being As years old, feet
So inch tall, with dark complexion,
brown eyes and black hair. His occu-
patton is given as stonemason and his
place of birth New York. He makes
his mark and was registered by Deputy
George H. Buckingham.
No. $50 North Main street is a saloon
kept by man named Mccarthy, and it
has been ascertained that Hayes was
known around there. where he loafed
as Red, or Hugh. There are no sleep
ing apartments there, and while there
may be come above, that is different
number.
The second certificate is also by Hugh
Hayes. In it he man is described as
81 years old, 5 feet 9ls inches tall. He
has dark complexion, brown eyes, dark
hair, was born in Pennsylvania" and is
a stone-mason. His residence is given
as in the Second ward, at the Olympia
house on First street. No such man is
known at the Olympic house on First
street, between Main and Spring streets.
This certificate was issued by Deputy j.
l.. Sticking.
The man who is arrested is brawny
six-footer, and is the reddest-headed,
reddest-complexioned man in the city.
He is the only Hayes who is known
around McCarthy's saloon, and there
seems to be little doubt that he is the
man, although he has made number of
contradictory statements.
Witnesses will be produced who will
state that the redheaded prisoner said
that he was going to vote twice at the
ensuing election, and that he could be
dark, gray or green-headed when nec-
essary. He is very Zip" fellow with
his tongue and did not seem to mind it
in the least when he was escorted to the
county Jail, being unable to give the re-
quired $500 bail fixed by Commissioner
Van Dyke. His examination was set
for next Monday, November 7th, at
p. m.
The offanse with which the prisoner
is charged is very serious one under
the federal laws. If convicted, he can
be punished by fine not to exceed $500,
by imprisonment not to exceed three
years, or both.
In case the facts alleged are proved,
the deputy registration clerks will be
obliged to hustle considerably to show
that they were color blind when the
ubiquitous stonemason showed his fam
ing visage and sun.dyed hair in their
registration offices. The descriptions
given by both deputies no more fit
Harry or "Hugh" Hayes than the av-
ersge Republicans description of the
tariff benefits fits the actual truth of
the matter.
There are number of other cases in
pickle in which complaints will be filed
today,
