GOING HOME TO VOTE.
New York Democrats in the DepaI
mentS Ma king Their A arrangements

New York Democrats in the Depart
ments king Their Arrangements. A
well go to Indiana oDe better" was the
key note of the meeting held last night by
the New York Democrats "of Washington"
at the Interstate Democratic Association
Headquarters No. 1928 New York avenue.
The meeting was one of the largest as
semblages of New York Democrats ever
held here, the eight departments and the
Government Printing Office being largely
represented
The last day for registration In New
York, outside of the rural districts and
New York and Brooklyn, is the 18th OF
this month, and the local Democrats hail
ing from that State are bestirring them
selves to be there and to get there on cleo
ton day.
The purpose of the meeting was to make
arrangements for the transportation to
their homes of the voters who wish TO reg
lister and take part in the coming cleo
ton in New York.
To carry out this purpose nine com
mittees were appointed to take charge
of the details, the securing of rates. and
notification of the committees in charge
at the various precincts in New York of
the coming of the reinforcements. The
chairman declined to give out the names
of the committees.
While there were no set speeches the Gis-
cussion was none the less enthusiastic. The
members are confident of carrying the State
this time and all the time. One of the
Officers said to The Times last night that
the action ofeome of the Democratic brethren
in the last election could be characterized
by no other name better than bilious" but
that the recalcitrants had all recovered from
that attack and that they would all move
forward this time in solid phaaDX.
Another said that they had full knowledge
of the importance of the coming fight and
that he would not be surprised to see as
many of the employees go home TO vote as
go home in Presidential elections.
A thorough canvass of all the possible
votes is already under way and the work
is to be prosecuted vigorously until the last
man answers to the roll call.
The president of the meeting was Mr.. W. P.
Smith, of the Government Printing Office.
and the secretary Mr.. C. s. Hawley, also of
that department. There is no doubt from
the temper of these Democrats, that it VIII
not be their fault II they don't get even
with the Republicans this time in New York
and slightly more than even-say about
sixty or seventy thousand majority.

After one year in that position. Mr..
Pugh was made general secretary. From

energy to the work He and his wIfe
made their home in the building on New
York avenue, which was recently burned

lives were absorbed in developing the
work and widening the influence or the
association. The religious feature re
ceived their firsi care, and after that the
educational and athletic classes Tie
latter had especially prospered. and WASH
ington ranked among the two or three
first in the estimation of the last national
convention at Springfield, Mass.
Mr.. Pugh was enterpristnE, iutficlous,
and full of love to young men He had a
wide acquaintance with business men of
Washington and money was freely sub
sCribed for the association WORK on the Con-
fidence that it would be wisely and
economically spent.
The membership of the association grew
rapidly under his care and had exceeded the
capacity of the old building.
At the fire Mr. Pugh lost all his furniture.
but he went at once to his brother-in- la W.
Mr. Olmsted, and seemed not to consider
his own misfortune. so busy was he pushing
the plans for a new building. Even IN his
illness, whenever he was in his right mind
he was thinking or his work and considering
what should be done when he recovered.
Mr. Pugh was generous almost to a fault
in aiding young men and a large part OF
his salary went that way. He had pro-
vided for his wife, however. by life in,
surance policy.
The active paIl-bearers will be named to-
day. They will be young men from the as
sotiation membership.

PADGETT'S DESKS FORCED
Filled With Stub Books and 40
counts in Hopeless Confusion.
President Tracy Has Gone to Baltf-
more TO Get the Key to the Com
biuatiOn of the Safe.

President Tracy and Acting Secretary
Toner. of Columbia Typographical Union,
have been busy getting together material
by which to straighten out the accounts
of. Frank H. Padgett.
They are greatly hampered by the fact
that the three safes belonging to the
office are locked, and Mr. Padgett alone
knows the combination. Mr.. Tracy went
to Baltimore yesterday, TO try to get from
him q clue by which the safes may be
opened. He had not returned at mid
night.
The desks in Secretary Padgett's office,
when forced open, were found 10 contain
large quantity OF stub books in a con-
dition OF such utter CONFUSION as to make
them useless to any one but PaGgett
himself Scattered about were a number
of unopened letters, some addressed to
Padgett and others to various parties IN
his care, many OF them contained money.
Some of these unopened letters are
postmarked as far back os July IL, almost
three months ago, which indicates that
his mental condition at that time was
such as TO unfit him for the transaction OF
business.
From the fact that but SO is found to
be on deposit and the indications that
no work has been done upon the books
for more than three months, the amount
of Mr.. Padgett's shortage, II there Is
one, is placed at from 81 .0eO to $4,000,
the former figure being the average col
lection for one month. This estimate may
be greatly changed, or the defaieation
entirely dissipated by Yhe discovery OF
unknown deposits or expenditures, when
the books have been examined
One of the stub books found, running from
