ONLY BARNEY MARTIN
Says Morgan Has Sent Him Any Tammany
Complaints OF Registration.


Supt. Morgan's deputies found yester-
day that the Tammany law committee
had decorated the front OF the building
at ii Park row with sign stretching all
the way across it, reading: -Tammany
Hall Law Committee 1t was in front OF
the windows Of the deputies Office and one
of them proceeded to tear it down. The
sole member of the law committee then on
guard. Robert L. Luce. protested, with
out avail. Word was sent to Mr.. Morgan,
and he sent back word that he didn't ap-
prove of the action of his deputies, and
If the law committee wanted to shut out
the light from his Offices it could do so.
Late yesterday afternoon John 7. Dool-
ing OF the law committee brought down
to Mr. Norgan's offios an angry citizen
with protest. The citizen was Adolph
Wasserman, who lives in the Thirty-first
Assembly district and says he has been
voting here forty-two years. He is a citizen
born in Paris while his American parents
were travelling abroad, According to
his story. he got summons to appear
at Mr. Morgan's Office yesterday to ex-
plain why he was born in Paris, or some
thing like that, and was questioned by
one Sumner S. Bowman, lawyer, who
had no authority to question him.
After had recited the facts in my case, ="
said Wasserman, this man asked me to
swear to an affidavit he had prepared, and
| refused. If didn't sign, he said, would
be stopped from voting. l told him that
thought / knew my rights, and wouldn't
swear to any such affidavit. Then l walked
out. Just as was about to take the elevator
down, a man came out from Mr.. Morgan's
office and told me that if voted the straight
Republican ticket it would be all right"
When Dooling produced Wass srgnan
Bowman. who denied that he had ever said
Wasserman couldn't vote. Hes a liar
If he says did," were the words used by
Bowman according to Dooling. Mr.. Nor
gan asked Wassernan if he could point
out the man who had accosted him at the
among the deputies there then, Then
Dooling and Wassernan left. Bowman
and Deputy Fuchs followed them out, and
Bowman again accused Wasserman of
lying
Morgan deputies rushed out, and Dooling
got Wasserman away. Fuchs offered to
have all the deputies lined up before Was
serman at 9 o'clock tonight for him to
pick out, if he could, the man who he said
had accosted him, but Mr.. Dooling coun-
do with Morgan's outfit
Mr.. Morgan declared yesterday that out
of one batch Of 10 600 names on the registry
lists which his men had looked up on Mon
day 500 were names OF persons who were
not known at the addresses given The
addresses were mostly in the downtown
districts, he said. Application will be made
to the Supreme Court to have them stricken
from the lists, Mr.. Morgan said. He also
said:
-
where Tammany Hall has tried to prevent
the illegal registration of one man. The
only Democrat who has ever sent a scrap
of information here has been Senator Mar
tin. / shall be very glad if any one who
has any doubt of our on-partisanship will
satisfied with what we did for him"
Senator Martin is the leader OF the Fifth
district, where Richard Van Colt was lately
arrested. Mr.. Morgan would not say that
this case was the one referred TO.
A lot OF men turned up at Mr.. Morgan's
Office yesterday with what purported to
be a letter from him accusing them of two
peculiar offences. The letter bore clumsy
forgery Of his signature and cited the
recipients to appear to answer charges
of betting on the election and posting pol
teal handbills in factories, on pain.of having
their names stricken oil the registration
lists.
REGISTERING ILLEGALLY TO Oct EVIDENCE.
Charges of illegal registration are to be
brought against William j. White and Domi-
nick Agnelli two of Morgan's deputies,
who, It + alleged, registered from Raines
law hotel at 1888 South street, kept by James
O'Neill, for the purpose of getting coloni-
zation evidence. This announcement was
made by Lawyer John Hoyer at a HI airing
of the case before Magistrate Whitman
Ia the Tombs court yesterday Both White
and Agneln, who had registered at the hotel
under the names of Wilson and Gard' lla
swore O'Neill took them to a registration
booth at 81 Cherry street, and tllat they
there registered falsely
Emil Fuchs OF Supt. Motgans Office
and Deputy Thomas Byrnes of Attorney
General Cunneens office. who wer, in court,
said It was not intended that White and
AgnelE should go 30 far. They said that
both men had already appealed TO the
Supreme Court to have their names stricken
from the list. and Mr.. Fuchs said that con-
viction could hardly be obtained. because it
would be necessary to show criminal In
tent, and in this case such intent was lack
ing.
0Neill was held In 81 600 for further
