PREVENTED VOTING
REFERENDA NEGLECTED. ON
MACHINES.
Returns Show That Citizens Who Had
to Use Mechanical Devices Neglected
Action on Important Questions.

According to the official election returns
as recorded in the City Clerks office on
the referendum propositions submitted to
the people at the last election, it has been
discovered that only $50 voters in each dis
trict passed on the Lane dock bill where
machines were used and that 1873 citizens
in a district voted on 1t under the old
ballot system.
The total city vote ON the Lane dock
bill was 24.4sS. There were forty districts
where machines were Installed. In those
the total vote was 6,151. In the ether 100
districts voting by ballot was In vogue.
In these sections almost three times as
many votes were cast than in the machine
districts, namely, 1888. ?
The discrepancy in this vote was ac-
counted for by those interested IN VOTING

after January supercede the present cleo
tive body. The committee consists of
Frank McTague. John Murphy and Joseph

the course OF a few days.
The committee will urge that as the
ward has a large percentage of children
and n one of the largest wards in the
city 1t should be represented, and by a
Democrat. Stress will be laid on the fact
that there are four of the largest schools
in the city within the ward. with several
on the boundary line with approximately
5000 pupils.
Alderman-elect Semel made an address
of thanks for support at the recent cleo
tlon, and reiterated his promise to work

% CHINESE CAPTURED
IN HIGHBINDERS' RAID.
Pittsburg Police Frustrate Gigantic
Swindle of Celestials by Hip
Sing longs.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 16.-Through
the arrest of twenty-three Cinnamon
the police believe they have frustrated
what was to have been a gigantic
swindie of local celestials, by a gang
of their countrymen who came here
from Chicago last week.
The Chicagoans, according to police
advices, are Highbinders, members of
the Hip Sing Tong, one of the most
vicious of the Chinese societies. They
had secured quarters in h basement
of a Grant street building near the
local Chinese quarter, which were fit
ted up on an elaborate scale.
The Pittsburg police have been aware
of the movements of the Chicago celes-
tials since last week, but the raid was
delayed tina the p~lotters might be
caught red-handed. When the police
raided the place operations were in
full blast. Chen Weng Yong, the
leader, sat on a raised platform while
~subordinates placed whatever device
he directed.
When the police broke in there was a
mad rush but all were stopped by the
policemen. One man crawled into an
open drain and was extricated with
difficulty. In the room was found a list
of the wealthy Cinnamon OF this city.

DEMOCRATIC
TALKFEST
National Committees Head
Invites Associates to
Be His Guests.

Chairman Thomas Taggart, of the
Democratic National Committee, has
struck on a new plan to get better
acquainted with the various members
of the National Committee and invita-
tons have been sent to each member
requesting them. with their wives, to
a a trip to French Lick, Ind, and be
the guests of the chairman at his IA
nous hosiery at French Lick. The
date set by the chairman is November
22, and while there is to be nothing
definite in a political sense, there VIII
be an informal discussion on the COM
ing Presidential election.
William b. Gourley, of Passaic
County, who is a member of the Ma
tional Committee, in conversation with
an EVENING STAR reporter, said:
while the pressure of my law BUSH
ness at this time will not permit me
to enjoy the hospitality OF Chairman
Taggart, l will be kept posted, never
theless, as to what will be done at this
gathering. But l can say now that
nothing of Importance will transpire,
as the action of the National chairman
is simply to get better acquainted with
the members of the National Commit
tee, so that he Will be better able to
political business with them at long
range when the actual work of the
Presidential campaign opens up.
do you think" asked the reporter,
'if there is any chance of the national
convention being held in New Jersey,
say, at Atlantic City,"
That is a question / cannot answer
at this time. ! would not be surprised,
however, if the national chairman will
sound the members as to their opinion
to the best place to hold this conven-
ton. In my opinion Atlantic City
would be a good place, but. of course,
the Western contingent may want the
convention held in their section Of the
country. Especially will this be so if
a Western man looms up for the presi-
lency."
Have you any idea. Mr.. Gourley, as
to the identity of the man who is to
lead the Democratic party for the pres
Idency this year?'' asked the reporter.
Mr.. Gourley thought for a while and
with much earnestness replied: Just
now | have not the faintest idea as to
the selection of proper timber to head
the Democratic party. / will say, how
ever, that there will be no pickering
time and the candidate selected
mature deliberation, will, no
doubt, be a man in whom the people
of this country will be able to place
the fullest confidence. Further than
l do not wish to discuss the polit-
ical probabilities"

TOM JOHNSON
is OUT FOR
BRYAN
CleyeIaud'S Mayor Promises
to Work for Ohio Delega-
ton Pledged 10 Nebraskan

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 16.-In an
open letter to William Jennings Bryan,
expressing satisfaction with Mr..
Bryan's announcement of yesterday,
Mayor Tom L. johnson says he will
endeavor to secure an Ohio delegation
to the national Democratic convention
that will call upon MIR. Bryan again to
be Democracy's candidate for the
Presidency. The Mayor declares he is
not an aspirant for the nomination.
The letter reads as follows:
1.-THE Commoner's editorial announce
ment of your decision regarding the Presi-
Dental situation gives me the greatest
satisfaction. Both in spirit and form 1t
is worthy of you and OF our Democratic
cause. This declaration Is the one thing
needed 20 secure to the Democratic party
the benefit of its best leadership in the
coming campaign.
ITO the fullest extent of my influence
in such matters I shall endeavor to secure
from Ohio a delegation to the national con-
vention that will truly represent what l
know to be the Democratic sentiment of
the State. by calling upon you to take
up again the commission that you laid
down at st. Louis In 1904. And wherever
/ have friends In other States / shall adj
wise them to follow my example in this
respect.
THE fact that my name has been pub
licly mentioned in this connection since
our victory In Cleveland, l should hardly
think 1t worth while to refer to were 1t not
that my silence might allow embarrassing
misconceptions to get Roadway. Under
the circumstances 1 wish to advise you, as
/ am now and shall continue advising all
my friends, that l shall not allow myself
to be diverted from our work in Cleveland,
which / regard as a public trust and OF
the highest Importance, both locally and
generally.
This would be an insuperable objection
to any Presidential aspirations on my part;
but In addition 1 regard your candidacy
next year as of vital Importance to the
cause of genuine Democracy. That the
masses of the people will confirm this opin-
ion is my hearty desire and confident be-
lief"

POLICEMEN
NEEDED,SAYS
HARRIGAN
Newark Is Not Adequately
Covered, Declares Chief
of Police.

Commissioner Castle seems to stand
alone in his contention that the city of
Newark is not in need of any more
policemen. His fellow commissioners
are a unit in declaring that every sta
ton is short of men, the Third Precinct
alone needing eleven policemen TO NIL
the vacancies and relieve the double
post duty now being done in that pre-
cinet.
Commissioner Harrigan contends mat
the scarcity of money is more thai apt
to cause more crime In a city, ana
therefore more men are needed to pro-
tect the citizens. w need the Sixty
new men all right" said Mr.. Harrlgan
today, land we need them badly. For
my part, | don't think that 100 men
would be too many
"Since the changes in the department
and the vacancies" said President
Bladder today. I'VE are constantly hear
ing complaints about the number OF
who are needed to round out the
full quota of squads. In some precincts
the CAPTAINS are handicapped at times
so badly that 1t is often necessary to
call men in who are off duty to help out
In an emergency. The statement that
five men covered the Second Precinct
on Halloween properly is not exactly
as these men were back on post
Immediately after the parade, which
only left the precinct uncovered for
ibout two hours"
President Baader contends that sixty
men are needed now more than ever,
that some of the posts in the out
wing sections of the city have
been properly covered.
At the conference on Monday each
the captains were asked if they alb
solutely needed the men, and they all
that they were short of their
usual number and have been for
months past. Then. too, they stated
increase in the size of the pre-
cincts made more men a necessity.
After going into detail about the posts
and the manner In which they were
the commissioners commended
that sixty men were none too many.
Chief of Police Corbitt stated today
that the addition of sixty men to the
force was an absolute necessity, as no
had its full number of men.
"We'd have less robberies,' declared
the chief, "if we had a few more men
to put out for plainclothes work"

CLUBS TO BE
FORMED IN NEW JERSEY.
New York's Governor was Formerly a
Jersey City Schoolboy and Is
Remembered as Such.

JERSEY CITY. Nov. 16.-Governor
Charles E. Hughes of New York is the
mar in whose interests an organization
known as Our Next President Club has
been started in Jersey City. Similar
clubs are to be formed in every city,
town and village in New Jersey dur
ing the winter, the members of which
will be pledged to work for the nomi-
nation and election of New York's
chief executive as the successor to
President Roosevelt.
Governor Hughes was formerly a
Jersey City schoolboy, and many per-
sons in this city remember having at
ended school with him. Walter Am
mon, a merchant of this city, is one
of those who are actively interested in
the scheme, and he believes it will soon
assume Statewide proportions. A
meeting will be held shortly to perfect
an organization.
