MORE REGISTRY FRAUDS FOUND
Chief Murphy Thinks Someone Has
Gotten Up q Repeating scheme.

W aeCPtutfES SGMtihNre
A sample of the tactics which the Re-
publican party apparently intends adopt
ing in this campaign was exhibited this
morning when Alexander Clements. the
Democratic candidate for Freebooter in
the First ward. was arraigned in Justice
Potts court to answer for aiding and
abetting Illegal registration. His arrest
was made at the instance of Chief MUIR
ply. Clements was defended by Alex
Young, the Congressional candidate, and
Alexander Simpson. Clements, it appears.
by affidavit, registered James Kavanagh
from No. $50 Henderson street. The
registry lists showed that the same James
Kavanagh had registered from No. 179
Bay street, where he lives. When Glenn
ents was asked how he came to register
kavanagh he said a man had told him he
lived in No. $50 Henderson street. Glenn
ents registered altogether in his ward
nineteen men by affidavit. Eighteen of
them were found to be all right. but in
the case of kavanagh, where it was APP
parent an error had been made, he was
yanked up by the police and charged
with a serious offense. Men who heard
a trick to injure his chances of election.
Counseilors Young and Simpson made
earnest appeals for Clements discharge,
out justice Potts held him for a further
hearing tomorrow morning.
The police nave verified the lists of the
First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth
wards. and Inspector Lange, who is super
vising the work, Is authority for the state
ment that about three hundred names
Will be erased from the lists. OF the
three hundred it is estimated thai at least
one-thlrd have moved since they register
ed into new wards. The other names
We're placed on the rolls in a manner
which leads the police to suppose that
a scheme was planned to operate repeat
ers. Any man who attempts to vote on
any OF the Illegally registered names will
Chief expects that many arrests will he
made on Election Day.
In and about Henderson, Bay and Nor
gan streets a nest of illegally registered
men was ound. Who is responsible for
the presence of the names on the lists is
not known, but it is intilnated by those
who are verifying the lists that the names
were entered by men who were hired by
some organization. Had the lists nat been
verified it is thought that an ATTEMPT
would ave been made to have rapeaters
lists.
There is evidence of fraud in the Lists"
said Chief Murphy this morning. There
will be many arrests made between now
and election day. 1t may surprise voters
to know who are suspected of being be-
hind this trickery. Party does not enter
into this work. Any man who / believe
has been guilty of registering illegally
for the purpose of casting a dishonest
ballot / viii arrest. l don't care Who is
hurt. We will have an honest election if
the police can accomplish that end" 1t is
expected that as many Illegally registered
names will be found in the lists of the
Hill wards as have been unearthed in the
down town wards. The chief this morn
ing detailed five men. to work on the lists,
making ten who are out verifying the re-
Clustered names.

KIDNAPPED 4 CHILD.
Sehuster Took Mrs. Weir's
Daughter to Her Father
ID Newark.

Frank Sehuster, AS years old, OF. No. 17s
Bruce street, Newark, was arrested at
his home this morning at the Instance
Of the police of this city. He is wanted
to answer a charge of kidnapping.
Yesterday afternoon Schuster went to
the home of Mrs. Barney Weir No. 66
Canal street, and asked if Mr.. Weir was
at home. He seemed disappointed when
told that he did not live in the house,
and that he was living somewhere in
Newark. Schuster was about to depart
when Mrs. Weir's six year old daughter,
Mary, entered the hall. Schuster picked
her up, made q fuss over her, and finally
told her he would buy her candy If she
would &c to the corner with him. The
mans actions threw Mrs. Weir off her
guard, n not thinking anything was
wrong she permitted the child to go with
the mice man"
Ten minutes passed and the child did not
return. Mrs. Weir became alarmed. and
went out to look for her. No one had
seen her; even her playmates could give
no information concerning her where
abouts. The distracted mother was about
to return to her home when she was told
by a young man that he had seen a man
pick the child up in his arms and take her
on a trolley car with him. The mans
description tailed exactly with that OF
Schuster.
Mrs. Weir at once arrived at the con-
elusion that the man had stolen her
enid and taken her to Newark where she
would be probably be turned over to her
father. So She notified the police of the
occurrence n word was SEM to the
Newark police. Schuster was arrested
as ne was about to get off the car. The
poiice kept his arrest quiet expecting To
capture Weir who was supposed to nave
concocted the kidnapping scheme.
Detective Pearson was sent to Newark
TINS morning and brought Schuster and
the stolen child back with him. Schuster
was at once arraigned before Justice Potts
and committed to await the action of the
Grand Jury.
The penalty for ais offense is fifteen
years Imprisonment.
Mr., and Mrs. Weir have not been living
together for some years. When they sep
arated 1t was agreed, Mrs. Weir says.
that she should keep the child. She has
supported herself and her child ever
since without any assistance from her hus-
Dand. Weir has been living in Newark
~chuste was a boarder in the same house
with him.

The Street and water Commissioners,

tAE
The Street and water Commissioners,
at a special meeting this morning, adopt
ed the following resolution
Whereas, The city has acquired title
to a strip of land between Morris Canal
and Newark Bay, located and described
as follows:-A strip of land, 80 feet in
width, being Is feet wide on either side Of
the centre line of a sewer heretofore con
structed on behalf Of the city and known
and designated as the Girard avenue sew
er, which centre line is thus described,
oeglnn1ng at a point in the centre line
OF Danforth avenue, distant Is feet north

Banking Company; thence westerly at
right angle to the easterly line of lands
OF the Morris Canal and Banking Com
pany. about two hundred and sixty feet
70 Newark Bay, excepting out of said
STRIP me or right of way Of
Resolved, That said strip of land as
herein described DO and is hereby dedi-
Gased ana az set aside for the uses and pur-
ing a continuation of Danforth avenue.
The resolution emanated from Mayor
Wanser- 1t is intended to effect thesex-
tension of Danforth avena to the Hack
ensack River, thus creating a new street.
Behind the adoption Of the resolution
Is q scheme to prevent the East jersey
water Company from reaching Bayonne
with its water pipes. The company has
acquired considerable land for a right
OF way to reach Bayonne.
With Danforth avenue extended, the
company will have to secure permission
from the city to cross the avenue. Mayor
Wanse will not consent to such a privi-
lege being granted. The Mayors idea is
to retain, If possible, Bayonne as a water
customer of the city. in the event of the
city acquiring a new water supply.
The adoption Of the resolution will, 1T
IS supposed, bring the company to terms
IN relation to the payment for the tenn
porary supply the compan is now fur
niShiug.
