MORE TO CHANGE STRIPES
-Four Of Tiger Brand Sentenced to
Hear COnzict Garb.

Four more men guilty Of frauds in the re-
cent election iii this city were sentenced by
Justice Davy in the criminal branch Of the
Supreme Court yesterday. They make the NUM-
Der Of Tammany's tools already sent to prison
eleven, and there are many more who are expect
ed to join the procession as the prosecutors.
the courts and the grand turies continue their
work
Chief among the men who were sentenced yes
terday was Samuel K. Eienbogen. a Tammany
lieutenant OF Tom Foley in the I'd Assembly
District. who was a city marshal by appoint
ment of Mayor Mcclellan. He was convicted
Of perjury In the case OF two men whom he
had hired to vote illegally. Justice Davy SEN
fenced him to not less than two years and
not more than four years and six months in a
State prison. Ellenbogen joins four illegal vot-
ers now in Sing Sing.
ElIenbogen's wife. accompanied BY three Of
her young children tried in vain to get into
Justice Davy's court before the sentence. She
said she and the children would be destitute
after her husband was sent to prison. Counsel
for Ellenbogen said application for certificate
of reasonable doubt would be asked for, in the
hope Of obtaining new trial for the convicted
man.
Three Illegal voters who were sentenced yes
terday escaped State prison because of recon-
mendation Of Attorney General Mayer in each
case. Albert Farrar and Thomas Mccall had
pleaded guilty, and had made confessions which
were regarded of value to the prosecution in
other cases. They may be witnesses against
men who are to face trial soon. They We're
sent to the penitentiary on Blackwells Island,
where they will be handy when they are wanted.
Bartholomew Wallace. who also pleaded
guilty excited some sympathy because he was
only twenty-one years old and had been mar
ried Just before the election. He was sentenced
to the Eimira Refornlatory. -..-. -.. ....
After sentencing the three Illegal voters yes
terday Justice Dayy announced that he had
performed his last official act on the bench
He retires from the Supreme Court. having
reached the age limit of seventy years. and he
will soon return to his home in Rochester.
The prosecution of fraudulent voters will be
carried on next month by Attorney General
Mayer in the criminal branch of the Supreme
Court, with the aid of a new justice and
new grand jury.

that Attorney General Mayer did not want
more of their testimony at present. If the De-
cember Grand Jury takes up the akrup case,
they may be called again, Apparently there is
no expectation that the missing "foater' will
ever be seen in the city again.

MRS. BECKWITH CHOSEN.
Ohio Daughters Haze Strenuous
Tinas EIecting President.

The Daughters OF Ohio put IN a strenuous af-
tsrnoon yesterday at the Waldorf-Astoria- 1t
was their annual election day, and the society
was not exactly at one as 10 whom it wanted
for president to succeed Mrs, c. G. Shayne
who could not. according to the constitution. be
reelected. -..
There were two tickets in the field and though
the principles at issue between them were not
very clearly defined. the society was rather
sharply divided on the matter. The election was
held behind closed doors and there was SO
much scratching" that the tellers had to work
hard until nearly 6 O'Clock to ascertain who had
been elected Their report gave Mrs. Emma
Bsckvith who headed the independent ticket.
a ma jority OF four. The defeated candidate was
Mrs Charles Austin Bates. who was the first
30 congratulate Mrs. Beckwith on her election.
Mrs. Becltwith replied:
Il wish the office was yours."
The defeat of Mrs. Bates was a surprise to
a good many Of her supporters, because the re-
suits OF an informal ballot taken by means or
postal cards had given them reason to antict-
pate her election. one reason assigned for the
defeat is that a good many OF her friends had
been so III advised to send their ballots by
mail or by friends. All such ballots were thrown
out. ..--- ..-
TIE presidents Office was the only issue in
the election, as all the other names on the two
tickets were the same. There were originally
two nominations for treasurer. but Mrs. Daniel
Baker the regular nominee withdrew at the
last minute, and the name Of Miss Maria
Townsend the independent nominee. was placed
on the regular ticket.

THANKSGIVING GAMES.
Little KindergartnerS Hare a Jolly
Time.

The little folks OF the kindergarten class in Pub
lie School No. 137 entertained their fathers and
mothers and other friends at a Jolly Thanksgiving
party yesterday morning. They were all dressed
for the occasion In yellow tissue paper, and the
classroom was decorated with the same sunshiny
color. " %.=
One of the most amusing numbers the pro-
grsmme was a song about little boy who bothered
the neighbors with his Thanksgiving horn. It was
pantomimed by solly Meyer and Harry Taxier. as
follows:
Here soIiy blows a'Toot! toot!' on the
Whom the neigh6ors ali threatened to shoot.

Isolly-Toot! toot!I
Here an interluds was played on the piano, and
Harry, personatng one of the irate neghbors, took
the horn from Solly and filed # with something
that he not supposed TO see- The song pro-
ceeded:
There was a small boy with a toot.
Lsolly blows On the horn and puffs out his
cheeks, but there is no answering toot.I

Then there was a cranberry race Four circles
were drawn, two the eastern and two the
western side of the room, and in each Of the east
ern circles six cranberries placed, the object
of the race being to transport the cranberries
at time to the opposite circles. First two little
boys tried it Then two little girls were chosen
as contestants. but this task was more difficult,
for instead OF carrying the cranberres in their
hands they were required to transport them IN
spoons. Dora Bridgemen made every laugh
by stopping to spank" her cranberries when they
fell out of the spoon onto the floor.
In pretty farewell to the BIRDS I'VE little girls
took the part OF the birds. and the children sang
TO them: z ~ - -
Oh, little birds, oh, pretty birds,
Why do you fly away2
--E The leaves have fallen, the flowers gone
i wish that you would stay.
The birds answered. singing
Oh, little child, we cannot stay

But when the comes again
We Will return to thee.
There were a lot of other pretty games and
songs, most Of them appropriate to the and
after a Thanksgiving hymn the little folks sat
down to their Thanksgiving feast at table
grOaning beneath the weight of three immense imi

pared popcorn tied up in small packages, which

treasurer Of the Consolidated were spread upon
the record In full yesterday.
When these formal proceedings are finished W.
A. De Ford, counsel for William Randolph Hearst.
orc Of the complainants. intends to do all in his
power to bring out the cost OF gas to the COM
pany. He will ask the commission to subpoena not
only the summaries of cost such as were furnished
the legislative committee last spring, but the
original daily and monthly statements made in the
stations showing exactly what coal. oil and other
ingredients were bought; what labor employed,
what byproducts were produced and for what they
were sold, and how much gas actually made.
BY this he hopes to arrive at the exact cost
of gas in the holder.

The matter was not proceeded with further, but
