REGISTRATION
WAS ILLEGAL

Christopher w. O'Brien OF Ward thi.
| afternoon sent 10 the board OF canvassers
and registration the following letter
which explains itself:
Providence. r.. L.. Sept 4. 1905
! Mr.. Samuel Whitley. Chairman Board OF
Canvassers and Registration. Provi-
dence, II l.:
Dear Sir-I am Informed that the date
OF the final canvass of the voting lists for
the city OF Providence 10 be used at the
coming caucuses I'm this city Is Sept. 4,
1906.
Believing as I do that you desire 10
have the lists correct. I'm order that all
voters properly qualified may have an OPP
portunity OF exercising the right TO par
ticipate In the caucuses, and that no one
who Is not properly qualified shall exer-
else that right, / consider ID my duty as
citizen and as n member OF the Sixth
ward Democratic committee 10 apprise
you Of the following facts:
THE Registration Book is I'm the pos
session of the board OF canvassers and
registration shows that Timothy r. O'Neil
was registered on April 8. 1906. and gave
as his address No. 100 Potter avenue
Sixth ward. First district
This statement made by him at that
time is certainly somewhat peculiar in
view OF the fact that on that date the
tenement designated by him was unoc-
days after that date, and then by a man
who is In no way related 10 Timothy r.
O'Neil, and with whom Timothy r. O'Neil
has never boarded
Timothy p. O'Neil does not now and
never did live at 150 Potter avenue
but on the contrary has resided at his
mothers residence 3O7 Blackstone
street. In the Fifth ward for two years
at least, and is so recorded In the Prov
idence directory although during that
time his name has been on the Sixth
ward voting list and he has exercised
the right to vote therein.
Timothy e. O'Neil's name does not
appear i'm the 1906 directory OF the city
of Providence at 150 Potter avenue
but there is a Timothy O'Neil. collector
at 507 Blackstone street which is the
home OF Timothy r. O'Neil's mother
AN inquiry at $50 Potter avenue re-
veals the fact that a Mr. Thomas H.
Cotter resides there and has continu-
ously since April 12. 1905.
1T is possible that Timothy r. ONeil
will when your board investigates this
matter. claim as a defense or justifca-
tion OF his peculiar registration state
ments that he lived with his brother
in-law, Edward NJ Burke. at 150 Pot
ter avenue, Sixth ward. First district:
but upon further investigation you will
find that while Edward NJ. Burke lived
at one time at the above address he
did not reside there at the time april
3. l906) Timothy f. O'Neil registered
and gave that as his address.
The fact is that Timothy E. O'Neil
registered on April 3. 1905 and gave as his
home address an unoccupied house. 49,
Edward NJ. Burke registered I'm the
city Of Providence March l5 1906 and
gave as his address 80 Potter avenue,
sixth Ward. First district Mr.. Burke
lived at that address on that date but
removed to the own OF Cranson early in
April 1906. and now resides there, AL
though his name is on the voting list of
the city OF Providence. and | presume he
intends TO vote therein. Respectfully
yours, CHRISTOPHER w. O'BRIEN."

STEhSLAND SAYS CASHIER
Herring IS The FORGER
Continued from Page one )

Washington. Sept 4-The state depart
ment is more concerned over the steps
taken TO tie up a deposit of money which
has been made In bank at Tangier
b. Stensland, than with the extradition
OF the fugitive banker himself Acting
Secretary of State Adee is giving the
question his personal attention.
II is the impression that no interna-
tional complications would arise II the au-
thorities quietly kidnapped Mr. Stensland
and took him TO this country for trial.
but II is entirely a different question
when II comes 10 the recovery OF money
deposited in foreign. bank regardless OF
VII ther that money was stolen or not
1nere are certain questions OF interna-
tional law involved which must be set
tied before the deposit can be gained for
the depositors of the defunct Chicago
bank The relations between the United
States and Morocco are not as clearly de-
fined as between this country and ma
tons Of continental Europe and therefore
the procedure Is indefinite.
Acting Secretary Adee has asked the
solicitor for the state department for
ruling TO determine just what the de-
partment may do
The deposit is reported to be about S12.-
OO0 and II Is said Stensland may also have
other funds in foreign banking concerns
II this should he the case the Chicago
authorities probably will ask the state
department for assistance I'm recovering
them.
DIFFICULTY TO BE MET
The state department realizes that in
view of there being no extradition
treaty between this country and Nor
occo. there will be difficulties to over
come in eXtraditing Stensland.
The present acting secretary of state,
Adee, was i'm charge Of the American
legation in Madrid, when William "
Tweed of New York was arrested in
Spain. There were no extradition
treaties between the two countries. but
Capt Franklin. now rear admiral. re-
tired was cruising i'm the Medter-
ranean on a warship. He was ordered
to touch at Gibraltar on his way TO
American waters and Tweed was in
formed by Mr. Adee that passage home
a aited him on board the war vessel
Tweed had been so harrassed and
was so nearly heartbroken at what
he termed his ruined life. that he de
cided TO surrender. He was given the
admrars suite and travelled 10 the
United states with every comfort That
was the only way Tweed could have
been secured
II an effort had been made to escort
him through France or Portugal the
authorities there would have objected
been taken In pursuance OF treaty regu-
lations. Commenting on the Tweed ar
rest today Mr. Adee concluded: And
so | presume that | am regarded IS
an authority on Irregular eXtraditions.'
