TRICKSTERS
ARE CAUGHT
Continued From First Page.

Representative w. w. Dunn, father of
the primary election law. They claimed
the bill was calculated to prevent illegal
registration and colonization at the
primaries. The last days of a legislative
session are always marked by a hustle
and the schemers shrewdly figured that
their bill, fathered by Dunn, would be
rushed through without investigation.
They reckoned without their man, in
selecting Mr.. Dunn as the tool for their
trick. He did examine the bill and found
that if enacted, it would permit men to
vote without the formality of registra ton
and allow the preparation of unlimited
fraud. The attempt to defeat the law
leaked out, and March 10 Mr.. Dunn said
in an interview given a Republican
organ:
Republican Exposes Scheme.

bilD that had been shown to me was
mutilated by striking out all reference
to the registration, so that it would not
be necessary to register in order to vote

The Fourth ward bosses and their slavish
henchmen cannot shirk the reputation

refused to allow the bench to be used for

tricksters. In conference they decided
not nct call a special grand jury to in
vestigate evidence found by the Demo-
Gratis and which the Republicans, caught
red handed, have the assurance to claim
credit for. The Republicans are reason
ably sure that the men imported to defeat
the integrity of the ballot are safely out
of the way Of justice. They are also
reasonably sure that the Republican

FIFTH WARDERS GIVE
MAYOR WARM GREETING
McCardy's Opposition to Paving APP
preparation Is Elk
posed.

A rot sing reception to Mayor Smith
and an interesting statement by him 10
his old neighbors, were chief of many
features at ass meeting in the Fifth
ward, James and Warsaw streets, last
night. Mayor Smith said with much feel
ing that the candidacy of Deran marked
the first time that he had not been on the
best of friendly terms with his opponents,
and then drew a careful comparison of.
Mr.. Dorans ADMINISTRATION with his own.
The audience flied the seats, standing
room and gallery. Proceeding the speak
ing the Casino band rendered a varied
and enjoyable programme. J. Lynch pre-
sided
J. s. erode spoke in German of Q. w.
Rohlan's admirable fitness for alderman.
Mr.. Robland, he said, would give cour-
teous attention to anyone, ard has the
interests Of the ward at heart. M.
erode Gle sing remarks about Comp
troller McCardy's partisan action in TIE
similar cases of Dix and Murphy, made
nice opening for Louis Betz, who fol-
lowed. Mr.. Betz pledged himself to fair
ness and openness, and asked if enc of
the Republican requirements for comp
troller was that he should keep the
school funds in a middle.
National Committeeman T. D. O'Brien
was optimistic. He could not see why
Republicans thought that abuse was the
one necessary thing in a campaign, and
said that he, for one, should keep clear
from it, Mr.. Bren er, he said, had made
McCardy yield to him in every contest
that had came UP between them. The
assembly candidates were solid, honest
and capable men. and the whole ticket
was such that it made a man happy to
support it. In speaking of Otto Rehlan,
Mr. O'Brien emphasized the need of re-
turning at least six Democrats to the
council, as the Republicans have been
conceded three wards ard the council is
one of the most impcrtent factors in
keeping the different city departments
working together.
Results Are Important.
Mr.. O'Brien then made the question
| more general. 1T is a serious time for
the United States; any city election is
taken at Washington to be a sign Of
where the people stand on national is
sues. The party that is in the grip OF
the trusts at home, AID anyone knows

only through the Democratic party"
Mayor Smith received an ovation. His

Must Buy More l. & n, Stock
to Put Through MOnon Deal
WOULD DCALLFORS3O,OOO,OOO
Otherwise They VIII Lose Control OF
the |. G. N.-Member of Morgan
Firm Says the Story Is
Absolutely Absurd.

New York, May 3.-The Evening Post
today has the following:
Developm ents in Wall Street today
brought out the fact that the L4onon
railroad deal as announced by ]. P. Nor
| gan & Co., probably cannot be put
through unless the firm exercises an op-
ton to buy at $3.50 a share. about 100000
shares of Louisville and Nashville stock.
| This stock is held under option. Exer-
| else of that option would call for payment
of $30000,OO0. If the option is not exer-
cised. however, the Gates and Hawley
syndicate which sold part of their stock
purchases to Morgan & Co., can reclaim
the whole of their holdings on repayment
of the advances and interest. That would
mean loss of the control of the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad to j. P. Nor
gan & Co.
1t is to be assumed that this loss of
control will not take place. To prevent
it. however. the firm will have been call
ed upon to pay over s23. 100000 for the
Louisville and Nashville railroad"
The Evening Post then gives the follow
ing statement of the terms on which the
louisville and Nashville shares were de-
posted with J. P. Morgan & Co.:
Terms of the Transaction.
John w. Gates turned over to ]. P.
Morgan & Co. 206O 900 shares of stock for
himself and a dozen associates.
Edwin r. Hawley turned over to ].
P. Morgan & Co. 100000 shares of Louis
Vile and Nashville, and Mr.. Gates and
Mr.. Hawley each took separate con-
tracts of the same tenor from j. p.
Morgan & Co. who advanced $115 per
share on this stock. and later pur-
chased one-third of each or 100000 shares
| at $lS0 per share, and took an option on
the balance at $3.50 per share. In the event
| of Mr.. Morgan's failure to exercise his
option, the depositors may receive back
their stock. together with the dividends
collected thereon upon payment of the
money advanced and per cent interest
thereon, the return to embrace the en-
trance of 100000 shares.
Morgan People Deny II.
New York, May 2s-A member OF the
firm of ]. Pierpont Morgan & Co. gave out
tonight an emphatic denial of state
ments contained in the article in the
Evening Post concerning the Monon
deal. He said:
THE story is absurd for several rea-
sons 1t should be remembered that we
did not buy Monon recently, as has been
reported Control of that stock Is still in
the open market, and If 1t is acquired un-
der the terms offered by us, 1t will go
over Jointly to the Southern and Louis
vile and Nashville.
The story is absurd for the reason that
the Louisville and Nashville control rests
absolutely with firm. This is posi-
tive and is not contingent upon any op-
tion."
Mr. Morgans partner would not give
the details of the control purchase of the
Louisville and Nashville stock. The
street. for the most part credits the re-
port that as high 150 has been or will
be paid for a considerable portion of the
stock acquired during the late squeeze"
