ALLEGED TO HAVE
VIOLATED The LAW
District Attorney Investigating
What Looks Like Case of
Double Registration

District Attorney William III. Lang
don has been supplied by Registrar of
Voters ]. II. Zemansky with evidence
of a case of double registration which
is expected to lead to an arrest and
prosecution.
The registrar has discovered that
William Madison English of 42o Jones
and county and in Marin county. AS
English neglected to have his registra-
ton Cancelled in this city before MAX
ing affidavit in Marin county he is
amenable to the provision of the politi-
cal and penal codes, which make this
offense felony punishable by from
one to three years in the state prison.
INFORMATION FROM PIsTOLEsI
The case of English was first called
to the attention of the registrar
Wednesday by Supervisor l.. c. Pts
to1esi of Sausalito. Pistolesi stated
that English had attempted to vote at
the election in Sausalito in April of
this year, although at that time he
was registered in both counties. Pts
activity on both sides of the bay
springs from the fact that English
boosted that he was going to vote
against the supervisor in Sausalito.
English was registered in Sausalito
February Z, 1908, and gave his age as
So years and his occupation as mining
engineer. August 81, 1908, he regis
tered in this city, giving real estate
as his business and 420 Jones street
as his residence.
SERIOUS CHARGES MADE
Pistolesi informed Zemansky that
English voted in Sausalito a year ago
last April; that he then registered in
this city in August of last year and
voted at the general election in this
city and that he again tried to vote
in Sausalito last April At that time
his vote was challenged and he was
arrested, and, according to Pistolesi,
admitted that he had already voted in
this city and had not procured q can
collation. of his registration here.
Zemansky's letter to the district at
torney calls attention to the fact that
English has apparently violated sec
ton 1904 of the political code, which
provides that mo person must cause
himself to be registered or enrolled in
one county when his registration in
another county remains uncanceled.
THE LEGAL PENALTY
The penalty for this violation of the
law is fixed by section AZ of the penal
code, which reads:
Every person who willfu1ly causes
procures or allows himself to be regis
tered in any register of electors re-
auired by law to be made or kept
such registration, is punishable by inn
prisonment in the state prison for not
less than one nor more than three
years.

FOREIGN POWERS.

New York, May 12.-Wilbur and
OrvilIe Wright, American aeropIan-
lists, returned from the scenes of
their European triumphs yesterday
aboard the steamer, Kronprinzess.
They were about the shiest and most
retiring heroes New York has well
coined in many days. Despite the
honors and successes they have
achieved, they were reluctant to talk
Of their work. They told those who
talked with them that they had
signed contracts enough to keep them
busy until they could get back to
Europe and sign more: that about SO
Of these aeroplanes were now in pro
cess of construction, and that the Of
fcials of certain European military
powers had asked them to demon
strate that their flyers can be driven
safely out of range of rife fire. The
Wrights will probably return to
Europe late in August. This arrange
ment will prevent their taking part in
any exhibitions on this side in the
autumn. Their unwillingness to con-
s:der any proposal TO remain here is
cited as Strengthening the rumors
that they have important engage
ments with Germany and Russia.

Torten, all of which will be urged as
ground for setting aside the verdict"
The conviction of Hams after the
jury had been out less than three
hours, came as a general surprise. 1t
had been expected that the jurors
would deliberate much longer and
that a verdict of acquittal on the
ground of insanity or a disagreement
would result.
No one was more surprised than
District Attorney Dewitt. who had
said that all he could hope for was
a disagreement. As he heard the de-
ciSion of the jurors, Hams face was
as white as chalk. He stood for a
few moments mOtiOnless. staring at
the jury after he heard the verdict
Then one of his lawyers touched him
and he quietly sat down. Apparently
little affected by the verdict, he was
taken back 10 the Queen county Jail.
In striking contrast to the demeanor
of the prisoner was the grief of his
aged father. General Peter c. Hams,
and his brother, Major John Powers
Hams. For a moment they sat as if
dazed, then they broke down and
wept. The captains aged mother was
not in court
After the jury was discharged,
Juror William Craft said that little
consideration was given to the expert
testimony. They believed, he con-
tinued. that Mrs. Claudia Hams. the
defendants wife. had made a confess
sion to her husband Of improper re
Iations with Annis and that Annis de
serve7 his fate. but none OF them
would consider the unwritten law and,
therefore, the manslaughter verdict
resulted

Flushing, n y, May 12.-Captain
Peter c. Hams. JT., l. S. A. faces a
prison term Of from one to twenty
years. Despite ali the testimony sub
mitted by the defense as tending to
show insanity, he was convicted late
yesterday of manslaughter in the first
degree for the killing of William E.
Annis last August.
Quickly following the army officer 5
conviction, his counsel announced that
they would produce afidavits to show
thai the jury had not been properly
guarded during the trial and upon this
allegation will urge a new trial be
granted. These afidavits will be
submitted Monday. the time set for
passing sentence, and for any mo-
tions. the defendants counsel de-
sires 10 make. There will. Of course,
be the usual motions to set aside the
verdict as against the weight of evi-
dence and contrary TO law, but the
unguarded jury feature is the only
departure from the stereo-yped pro
cedure looking TO a new trial
Daniel Oreily, Of counsel for the
defense, said:
There was no evidence in this
case to warrant a verdict of man
slaughter 1t should have been either
murder in the first degree or acquit,
tai on the ground of insanity. Jurors
were permitted 10 roam about the

Madison, Nav II

Madison, May u.
Lobbying among individual mem
bers Of the legislature, log rolling and
the lodging of roll call on important
questions were condemned by Assem-
blyman E. w. lie Roy in his address
on How Laws Are Made before the
west Madison Brotherhood of the
west Madison Methodist church last
night. He said that at the next SEES
sion of the legislature lobbyists
should be compelled to confne them
selves to committee meetings as the
law requires them to do and not work
among the Legislators individually.
Log rolling, a scheme by which sOlons
trade votes for the purpose of get
ting favorable action on their meas
Ues, was also criticised by the
speaker.
Mr.. lie Roy declared that those leg
islatOrs who dodge roll call on i'm
portant matters to escape going on
record are not only dishonest to them
selves but to their constituents He
blamed the constituencies in many
cases for Tot sending better men to
the legislature and congress.
Mr.. lie Roy gave his listeners a
good idea Of how laws are made. He
explained to them all details Of the
legislative machinery from the time a
bill is prepared and introduced until
lis passage or defeat He gave an
illustration of parliamentary delays
and said that frequently measures
recommended favorabIy by commit
tees are talked to death by eloquent
speeches and vice versa. He recalled
many funny things that happened on
the floor of the house since he has
been a member. In conclusion he
praised the Wisconsin legislatures.
The address was greatly appreci-
ated and Mr.. lie Roy was accorded a
cordial reception.

FEDERATION I'M WASHINGTON

For years the American fedora
ton of labor had q free hand in its
work of intimidation at Washington
With its headquarters in that city, IL
maintained a numerous and unscrupu-
IOus lobby there from the beginning
to the end Of every session of CON
gress. BY threats TO defeat them in
the primaries or at the polls it had
many Legislators at its mercy Thus
while the declarations agents were the
most detested men At the national
capital, they were also the most
feared mon. But the federation has
lost its old ascendancy at Washing
ton. Largely through the education
al work of the American ManufaC
turers, public sentiment is asserting
itself decisiveIy against the lawlesa
methods Of labor uniOnism.
Defeated at the national capital,
however, the federation has transfer
red its battle-ground to the various
state law making bodies. The PearTe
bill, which was before resent sessions
of congress, would have virtually de-
stroyed the injunction in labor con-
troversies, and would have left en-
pIoyers in all interests at the mercy
of the labor chiefs. The manufac-
turers killed the Pearre bill in Wash
iDgton. Immediately. under various
names and fathered by various per
sonages, Pearre bills appeared in.
many legislatures all over the coun~
try. With the assistance Of the manu-.
facturers and. under their initiative,
bills of this class have been defeated'
in the legislatures of Massachusetts,
Ohio, Indiana and Missouri. The same
class of bills show themselves IN the
legislatures of all the states until
this class prescription has been ex-
tirpated everywhere.

TWENTY DROWNED
IN OHIO RIVER
THIRTY LABORERS TRY TO
CROSS IN LAUNCH AND GO
DOWN AMID STREAM.

Pittsburg, May 12.-Twenty per
sons are missing and all are believed
to have been drowned when a gasO-
line launch sank in the middle to the
Ohio river near Schoenville, four
miles below Pittsburg, last night. OF
80 occupants of the boat, only 10 are
known to have escaped. The missing
are: Albert Graham, pilot; George
Thompson, Boots O!Neill, James
Common, Walter Low, Thomas Ken
nedy, William Guthrie, Henry Nigelei,
Dennis Murphy, Tony Bole, Louis
GOlstein. William Davis. Joseph Lyle,
VIII Burke, two brothers named
Bolts, and five others, whose names
are unknown
All were employees of the Pressed
Steel Car company at McKees Rocks
plant. The men had been working
overtime until o'clock and left the
works to cross the river in the launch
about Is minutes later. The boat is
said to have been intended for not
over 20 persons, and it is said it was
dangerous to attempt to carry as
many as 25 in it. But all the men
wanted to get ashore on the first
trip and so crowded in. When the
boat reached the middle of the stream
where the water is perhaps 20 feet
deep, the boat suddenly sank. AS it
sank it caused a suction which took
many of the men down with it: Many
attempted to swim ashore, but were
chilled by the cold water and became
exhausted before reaching the shore.
AS far as is known, only 10 reached
shore.
