DRINKS FOR NAMES TO
PROGRESSIVE PETITION
Republican Captain Also Finds
Men Took "PinCh of Change"
for Signatures.
1893 LIVED AT ONE HOTEL
Some of the Signers Wanted
the Fun of Standing on
Armageddon, Though
They Couldn't Vote.

Richard Curd Daniel, Republican cap
tain of the 18th Election District Of the
9th Assembly District, is Of an in
curing frame of mind. He decided to
investigate the signatures from his dis
trict on the Progressive party petition
for the Independent nomination OF a
candidate for the Assembly and can
didate for the Senate in the 18th Sen
ate District. The signatures from his
election district were the same on both
petitions.
This is what Mr.. Daniel has to say
in regard to his researches: OF the to-
tai number Of 211 signatures from the
18th Election district, 1919 of them were
placed at one address. At that address
is Mills Hotel No. 3, at Both street and
Seventh avenue.
OF the total number Of 211 only 10 Of
the men named had registered. This
makes the other 166 signatures void
and subject to cancellation II any pro-
test should be made against them.
The Republican County Committee,
however, does not intend to protest any
Of the Progressive petitions.
Mr.. Daniel found that "A Of the 40
men registered were enrolled Demo-
Gratis, ; were enrolled Republicans and
] an enrolled Socialist. OF the Is I'M
enrolled y were Democrats, , Repub-
licans and l a member of the indie
pendence League.
Mr. Daniel inquired Of each Of the
forty-five registered men why they
had signed the Progressive petition.
The following is his own summary OF
the reasons: Purposely, 10; denied
they signed, 2; got drink, 3; for fun,
3; to help poor fellow, I; were de-
ceived, 3; admitted they got a piece Of
change, 10.
Each one Of the forty-fve registered
was asked how he intended TO vote,
with the following result; For the
Progressive tickets, IS; for the Demo-
cratic tickets, 20; for the Republican,
3; for the Democratic national and
state tickets and the Republican local
ticket, 4.
Investigation of the Progressive pc
titions in the 18th Assembly District
shows that more than 70 per cent Of
the signers are enrolled Democrats. In
the 18th Assembly District more than
30 per cent Of the signers are enrolled
Democrats.

RISING IN SANT0 DOMINGO
Rebel Successes In North-U.
s. Marines May Be Landed.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Oct. 2.-Gains by the
rebels in the Dominican Republic were
reported TO the Department Of State to-
day. The province OF SANTANA Is almost
entirely In control OF the rsvolutionists.
Sanchez and Savanna la Mar are in this
province.
Indications that there is serious trouble
at SANTANA are contained in a report that
the town has been bombarded by gov
eminent gunboat. Owing to tho delay IN
the transmission OF dispatches, the exact
situation is not known here. but II is be-
leved that the Prairie, with $50 marines
aboard. left santo Domingo city last night
for SANTANA,
There is little doubt here that Colonel
Franklin F. Moses Will land the marines
on the arrival OF the Prairie II the condl-
tons are as serious as reported. Full
authority for the landing OF the marines
is given by the convention OF 1907, which
specifically provides for protection OF the
Dominican officials In the collection of
customs.
The custom houses along the Haytian
frontier at Dajabon, Banica. Lieranueva
and Pedronalles are In possession Of tho
rebels. Brigadier General Frank McIn-
tyre, chief of the Bureau Of Insular Az
fairs, and William T. 8. Doyle. chief OF
the Latin American division Of the State
Department, who We're commissioned on
September rs TO make an investigation in
the republic. are expected to report soon
as to steps toward the re-establishment
OF the custom houses.
Only meagre reports have thus far been
received from the two commissioners.
They are vested with much power, Gen.
eral Mcintyre having been instructed to
use his own Judgment In matters of enier-
gency.

vices Show Held by Servia.

Constantinople, Oct. pa Turkish
defeat east OF Tundja, in the Kirk
Kiliseh district, Is now admitted here.
An attempt is made, however, To mini
mize it's importance by representing II
as an unsuccessful Turkish offensive
movement, which owed its failure to
the detachment having encountered
the main body Of the Bulgarian army.

enemy was infinitely superior In
strength the attack was not pushed
home, and the Turkish troops retired
in good order to positions further
south.
Serious fighting Is also reported from
Kadikeny, to the south OF Mustapha
Pass, which ended in a victory for
the Turks.
The Servian army operating near
Kumanova has been completely de-
feated by the Turkish troops defend
ing that town, which is on the way to
Uskub.
The servians suffered enormous
losses. according to an official dis
patch from the commander in chief OF
the Turkish western army. The Turk
ish troops are pursuing them energeti-
cally.
There is much elation here at what
is described as the splendid victory"

Richard w. Meade, president Of the

that the Stanton case looked like a
'frame-up'' to him.

paid in corn, oats and barley. Fugitives
from the country near the frontier who
come into Adrianople for safety de-
clare there is absolute famine In East
ern Rumelia, and that prospects Tor
the winter, gloomy enough In ordinary
circumstances, are simply appalling.
Trade and commerce are at stand
still in Adrianople, all the energy and
interest being centred on the war, and
rumors Of Turkish victories are re-
ceived with extraordinary enthusiasm
by the people. The neighboring VIII
lagos have been deserted by the peas
ants, who are afraid ot being shot or
captured by Bulgarians.
TorrentiaI Rains Begin.
The torrent!al rains usual AT this sea-
son OF the year make the roads almost
impossible. They are bad even for
military conveys with motor transport
and OK wagons, and refugees are fleeing
on foot. Men, women and children
carrying their household goods make
most melancholy spectacle.
An odrer has been issued that those
inhabitants who have not a sufficient
supply Of provisions for two months
must leave Adrianople, which seems TO
point TO anticipations Of a prolonged
siege. The proclamation, however, as
serts that the order is made not be-
cause a siege IS expected, but because
of the regulations of the fortresses In
war time. Hundreds Of Mussulmans,
not being able TO fulfil these conditions,

don with regard TO the result Of the

to the Constantinople version, the
Turkish forces under Zekh Pacha

Wan and Bulgarian army north OF Ku-
manova, the news being received with
wild enthusiasm in Constantinople, and
regarded as Of good augury for speedy
and decisive victories in Thrace.
Four divisions OF the Servian in
fantry, accompanied by cavalry and
artillery, crossed the border. following
the line Of the Moraya, the objective
being Uskub. At the same time Zekki
Pacha received information that a
smaller Bulgarian force had also
crossed the frontier and was marching
to effect a junction with the Servian
troops north of the Kosek Mountains
The Turkish army was at this time
