dlately they sent for him, and told

lay, he complied with the law.
The general" said in his question:

by the United States District Court in
this city last fall, on the charge of
securing seaman's identification Ger
tlflcation under a false name, in order
that he might return to Ireland and

scheduled to come up next MONTH
Mellowes also swore that he was con-
'victed of violation of the defence of
the realm act in Great Britain because
OF his participation at the head of the
revolution.
Last night he said that he originally
was sentenced to be shot for this
crime, but that the government never
tried to carry out the supreme penalty

Justice. who questioned Mcllowes in
the lobby of the Museum of Natural
History, where Local Board 129 is sit

Arrest Prevented Departure
Former Chief of the Secret Service
Flynn was one of the first Americans
to become interested in Mellowcs on
his arrival here in December. 1916 His
agents watched the general" closely,
and on October 23, 1917, Federal agents
arrested him just as he was ready to
embark for England under an assumed
name. Baron DR.. Max Won Reckljnc-
hausen, believed to have been left here
by Count Won Bernstor to carry on
propaganda, was arrested with him.
Assistant United States Attorney Knox

activities of the alleged plotters. Since

Mr. O'Leary.
In discussing his work, Melowes ad
mittcd that since last June he has had
no visible means of support. and
showed Federal agents a slim roll Of

Tarnmany Chiefs
May Pick Leaders
For Women Voters
Power Will Be Centralized
in Old Organization if
Plan Works Out

There is a strong probability that, in
organizing the Democratic women vot-
ers, Tammany leaders will prevail upon
the women to believe that it is for
their best political interests to waive
sex independence and allow each Tam
many district leader to name the
woman leader for his district.
This, Of course. will centralize power
in the old organization, and it is ex-
pected to arouse some opposition, but
the Tammany leaders have canvassed
the situation sufficiently to convince
them that the plan is feasible, and that
after sporadic independent outbreaks
Democratic women voters will fall into
line and do good work for Tammany.
Senator Robert f. Wagner is chair
man of the special committee on the or
ganlzation of the women voters.
Probably one day and night week
regular district headquarters, and on
that day and night men members will
not be admitted to the clubhouse
Senator Wagner addressed a large
number of women voters at the Park
Avenue Hotel yesterday afternoon,
dwelling at length upon the more cs-
sential features Of organization meth
DDS. The Senator cordially invited the
women to join the regular organization
and become acquainted with its meth
ods for spreading Democratic gospel
and getting out the vote. He called the
attention of his auditors to the humani-
arian Legislation the Democratic party
had championcd, and claimed credit for
the party for the abolition of child la
hor, doing away with night work in
factories, limiting Industrial labor to
six days week, regulating child labor
IN Southern cotton mills, and for ag-
gressive action in favor of anti-iniunc
tion legislation, demanded by organ
ized labor

IS Would Plead
Guilty in Poll Fraud
Republicans May Answer
Misdemeanor Indictments:
Penalty Is 60 Days

Fifteen Republican election officials
have signified their intention of plead
ing guilty to misdemeanor indictments
growing out of the Mitchell l-Bennett
primary frauds. According to Assist
ant District Attorneys Olcott and Wal
lace, who have had charge of the in
vcstigation, the penalty that will be i'm
posed will probably be sixty days in
City Prison.
Seventy-two election officials, half
Republicans and half Democrats, were
indicted on the misdemeanor charge
OF signing a false result sheet at the
primary. One of them, Michael Sill
berstein, chairman Of the board in
the 5th Election District CT the 18th
Assembly District, was convicted and
has made confession. Negotiations
We're begun soon afterward between
lsldor Wasservogel, counsel for many
of the defendants, and Mr. Olcott re-
garding pleas.
What is worrying Mr.. Olcott is the
problem of getting pleas from the
Democrats. Thus far none has been
tried and no confessions have been
forthcoming. Their counsel advise
them to take their chances in court.
believing that when they show thew
canvasscd their votes INDEPENDENTLY no
jury will convict them of having knowl-
edge of the alleged frauds. Mr.. Olcott
said last night that it will probably
be necessary to try one or more of the
Democrats in order to DISPOSE of the
other thirty odd cases. The prosecutor.
sa1d the calendar of the Court of Cen
eral Sessions is already so clogeed
mat 1t Will take many months before
so many cases can be disposed of.

New York Sufragists
Celebrate Victory in
House; Praise Pickefs

The fact that the Susan B. Anthony
amendment "just squeakcd through"
the House Thursday did not dim the
JOY of New York suffragists in the
least yesterday, though, as one of them
put it. it did make them "feel prayerful
and solemn" over the victory.
At the school for citizenship in the
Park Avenue Hotel. the teacher in
charge. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman,
found herself the center of real old
fashioned suffrage celebration Every
body was cheercd from DR.. Anna How
ard Shaw to the Representatives who
voted for the measure.
Although the rank and lie of suffra-
gists do not credit the Woman's party
and the pickcts with any Of the pres
sure that brought the final passage of
the amendment, there are those who
said yesterday that without the pickets,
the amendment would to-day still be in
committee
Miss Helen Todd, formerly of the
Congressional Union and wroker for
the New York State campaign, was one
OF these, although she could not make
her hearers at the Women's City Club
agree with her
81 feel that suffragists to-day owe a
very great debt of gratitude to Alice
Paul and her followers as we'll as to
Mrs. Gait and DR.. Shaw" she said.
"Thcy have served our cause with a
passion and devotion that no woman
can afford to Disregard In swcterng
hot days of summer, those women have
worked just the same as in comfort
able weather. remember one summer
particularly, when we used to go and
drag Alice Paus by main force from her
hot little hole Of an office, ride her
around in an autombile, give her lem
onado, and then take her back to work
all evening. She has served the cause
Of women, and served it we'll, and per
sonaly, bow before that service
"The militants, so-called, have made
mistakes, but they've never failed in
their loyalty to suffrage. They have
stuck to that amendment through thick
and thin, and 10, here it is, on its way
tc actuality. They put the amendment

Court Aids Canadian Filler
Leaves Him Cigarette Money
After He Pays Alimony

The Appellate Division aided James
George Mcintyre, of the Royal Flying
Corps, in Canada, yesterday. by decid-
ing that he need pay Mrs. Helen NJ. Nc
Entyre only s25 month alimony in
stead Of the $3.50 awarded by the Su-
prcme Court.
Mrs. Mcintyre is suing for separa-
ton. She said that her husband had
been receiving $4,000 as salesman.
She complained that he neglected her
and their baby and spent most Of his
time and money on entertaining him
self and others on Broadway, where he
was known as "Quick Hit Jimmie"
Mcintyre explained that he was no
longer in the millinery business and
that the high flying that he is doing
now pays him only s1.10 day, with 25
cents extra while learning to fly. He
was unable to figure out how he could
pay his wife $3.50 month. Now
MCINTYRE will have enough of his army
ray left for cigarettes and chewing
gum.
