STATEMENT BY MIR. CUTTING.
Tammany, by Attacking Citizens Union,
Pays Tribute to Its Work

Among the encouraging signs Of the times
Is one that gives me speeaI gratihcation.
and that is the fact that 1ammany Hall is
making an involuntary tribute to the ef-
fectiveness of the Citizens Mon campaign
work Tammany has turned its batteries
almost exclusively upon the union. 1t is
attacking US by street car advertising, in
newspapers. in campaign literature. by
warning upon our bill posting and by trying
to break up our meetings. 1t il the best
testimony We could secure to the influence
OF the Citizens Union organization In the
il should serve further to assur" the public
that we are sp'ndlIIg our anpaien con-
tributions TO gr, at advantage and should
h, lp lis TO raise the large sum, approximately 'ly
$4,000 that we need TO carry out our plans
We must have this money, and should have

THREE DE, ERY MEN BARRED.
Prosecutions May hollow Bogus Petitions
In the Sth and 18th.

The Board OF Flections ruled of the
official ballot yesterday three of Big Bill
Deverys candidates and dismissed the
objections against three others.
Julius Levy was the Pump candidate
for Alderman and l las Dulberger the
candidate for Assembly in de Ate Dull
berger has been elettioneering in the dis
trict on horseba' X. and the Sullivans saw a
prospect of losing some Tammany votes.
Former Assemblyman Issy Cohn appealed
10 the board to reject the nominations.
Here are 700 names on this petition and
Idon't believe that 200 of them are genuine.
said Cohn. Il have in my po, ket the affi-
davit OF man who swears that he signed
fifty Of those names in his saloon. Ther g
are names on the petition of actors. lawyers
and m inisters who do not live in that part
Of the city
The board decided that more than 200
names were obtained by false representa-
ton and that other signatures were Of non
res idents They ruled that Dulberger did
not have 500 good signatures, but that
Levy h ad 100 genuine signatures and 80
might run for Alderman.
President Voorhis Of the board said that
he expected some prosecutions by the
Attorney General to follow. Three Lotaries
public had ackLowlet Red all of the sigma
lures on the bogus petition
More talk of forged signatures on the
petition occurred when the protest against
the Devery candidates in the Eighteenth
district was considered. Thomas F. War
rem was up for Assembly and John j.
Quinn for Alderman. The protest was
made by Leopold Worms, and Carvalho,
the handwriting expert, declared that 90
per cent OF the signatures were written
by four persons. The board decided that
neither candidate could get on the ballot
1t was said that the Attorney General
would look into this case also.
Objection was made to the Pump candi-
dates of the Twenty-fourth Assembly and
the Twenty sixth Aldermanic districts by
Tammany men. They produced no proofs
to back up their protest and 1t was dis
missed.

GAMBLERS OUT TO BEAT HIM.
So Says District Attorney Clarke as He
Takes the Stump.

District Attorney John F. Clarke of
Brooklyn, who is running for reelection
on the Democratic ticket, announced shortly
after his nomination that it was his inten-
ton not to make any speeches In the cam
paign bee: use. as he explained. he occupied
quasi judicial office.
He has changed his purpose, however
and yesterday stated that he would be
heard from on the stump just as soon as he
could arrange his affairs.
He said that he had decided to make a
direct appeal to the people In view of the
fact that he had discovered that the gam
bling interests had made combination to
defeat him if possible and had raised a
big fund for that purpose. In discussing
the matter, Mr.. Clarke accused Michael
Minden. proprietor of the hotel at Kent
avenue ard Broadway, of being one OF the
chief members Of the combine against
him.
Mintlen denied that he had any knowledge
of such cor4hh as Mr. Clarke described
He admitted, however, that he was op-
posed to MIR. Clarke's reelection and ha l
bet 81 800 against him.

EXPLAINS DELAY IN
THE ASYLUM INQUIRY
Several Reasons Advanced by Secre-
tary Wilson for Postponements.

George S. Wilson. secretary of the
Board OF Charities. has made a state
ment relative to charges of delay in the
investigation into the conduct OF the
Washington Asylum.
The first annual report of the insti-
tuition made to the board in 1902 by
Prof. NELL and Simon Wolf. a commit
tee appointed for the purpose. did not
meet with the approval of the board
and a second investigation was ordered
with a view OF presenting It formally
TO the Commissioners.
Before this could be carried through
the estimates for the institution came
up in Congress and Prof Neill criti-
cised the management of the institution.
stating that 1t was the purpose OF the
board to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the Commissioners as soon as
the second investigation had been con-
cluded. The Illness and death of Com
missioner Ross in June retarded these
plans.
The formal investigation and taking
of testimony was begun in November,
but was suspended because of the alb
sence of Prof. Neill, who was appointed
assistant recorder TO the anthracite
coal strike commission. These are the
reasons given by Mr.. Wilson for the de-
lay in investigating conditions at the
Washington Asylum

WORKED WAY AS WATERS
TO PHILIPPINES AND BACK
President Interferes in Interest of
Western College Graduates.

General LAWS last experience as COM
rnanIer- inc chief in the Philippines was
an Official reversal from President
Roosevelt.
A number of young men. all recently
graduated from Western educational in
situations. arrived In the Philippines en-
the transport Logan, having worked
their way across the Pacific, most OF
them serving as walters. After Seeing
the sights of the Islands they presented
Themselves III body to General Davis
with the request that they be given en-
ploymcnt on the Logan on her return TO
the States via the Suez Canal.
General Davis. although in sympathy
with the young men. did not feel justi-
fed in granting the request This did
not dampen the ardor of the students.
for they promptly dispatched a cable
gram to President Roosevelt informing
him of their plight.
The President took up their cause In
no half-hearted manner, and directed
that they be given employment on the
Logan. and that the transport make
stops at several points in China and 40
other ports for their special benefit.
Their arrival in the United States IL
to be made an occasion Of especial In
terest, as an enthusiastic reception has
been planned for them. II is said that
the young men intend to call on PTcsi-
dent Roosevelt at Oyster Bay in a body
to express their gratitude.
