IN RISK BALLOT,

Would Set Aside the Elec-
ton

NEW YORK. April S.--Charging the

York Life and the Mutual Life insur-
ancc companies and collision to inspec-
tors in the employ of the state insurance
department. the international policy

the conviction in criminal proceedings OF

District Attorney jerome will take up
the complaint as soon as the Thaw trial
is over and prosecutors i'll more than
half the states in the union will be asked
to lay the evidence before their respec-
tive grand juries.
The charges made are in the shape of
afhdavits which representatives of the
policy holders committee have been
gathering for weeks.
Fight Into Courts.
That the international committee in
tends TO carry the fight over the elections
into the courts is evident from the tact
that all of the committees watchers
have been withdrawn firm the vote can
vaSsing quarters This was done Satur-
day.
The $50 Il day inspectors have been
canvasSing votes since December Is, and
the prospects for long run yet are good.
From now on the inspectors who were
appointed by the state superintendent of
insurance, Otto Kelsey, and the com
panies' watchers will conduct the can
yaSS alone.
Here are some of the instances of
forged ballots as given by Manager

tee, and backed up by the aflidavits;
David Krebs of 166 East Seventy

formally cast on December Is. In the
course of the canvass a forged Pea
body ballot bearing Krebs' name. pol
icy number and home address was found
and counted by inspectors.

Life on October 80. 1906. the ballot be-
ing witnessed by l.. o. Bass. This bal
lot was counted as void by inspectors,

ballot was counted as good. The forged
ballot bears the same address and policy
number, is dated December 10, 1906 and
purportS to have been witnessed by IL.
q. CliSbe.
The ballot of Alexander Rida of 152
Commerce street, New Haven. was
counted for the administration ticket un-
der practically the same circumstances.
He voted the united committees ticket
on November 81, 1906. and his signature
was witnessed by his wife. The alleged
forgery is dated October -. 1906. and
bears the name of George T.. Nettleton
as witness.
