Ryan Calls Lockwood
Real Friend of Labor

Thomas +. Ryan, general organizer
OF the Warehousemen's Union, yester-
day challenged the right of James P
Holland to speak for organized labor
in his opposition to Senator CharIe Ies
Z, Lockwood, coalition candidate for
Comptroller.
I'm the first place." said Mr.. Ryan,
1T is against the constitution of the
American Federation Of Labor, with
which we are affiliated, for an official
10 take an interest in the election of
any candidate. In the second place,
Hollands statement rnas lockwood
voted against the Cotillo wage bill is
absolutely wrong. Senator Lockwood
supported that bill. The legislative
secretary Of che State Federation of
Labor only three years ago stated that
on Senator Lockwood's record he was
entitled to the vote of every working
man and woman in his district.
"Since that time Senator Lockwood
has introduced and passed many bills
favored by the labor people. The rent
laws, fathered by him. were among
the most beneficial acts to the working
people ever put through the state
Legislature.
81 want it distinctly understood that
am holding no brief for Senator
Lockwood, but | do question Mr.. Hol-
lands right to make an attack on Sem
ator Lockwood. What is the reason
big from Comptroller Craig? AS a
labor man. who has studied the records
Of both Lockwood and Craig, am
fully convinced that Mr.. Lockwood is
better friend of labor than Mr..
Craig"

Supreme Court Justice Hotchkisa
yesterday signed an order for the mem
bers of the New York Board of Esti-
mate to show cause whv they should
not be adjudged in contempt of court,
in view of failure Of the board to obey
an order of Supreme Court Justice
Mullan requiring reinsta tement of
s4,500,00 funds which they deducted
from the legal liabilities Of the 1922
city budget and applied for use in other
discretionary expenditures.
The order of the court was servsd
last night on Comptroller Craig at the
Yorkville Casino as he was about to
deliver an address. 1t was served hy
Stewart Browne, president of the New
York Real Estate Owners Association.
Browne declared later that Comptroller
Craig threatened to punch him in the
nose, and added
AS Comptroller Craig refused to be
served ~ his Office with cow Of Jus
city IN th world, spending s35O,0oO. .0oo
service, which was only achieved axer
much difficulty, no effort was made to
serve him in his Office this time. I
served the papers on him at 9:35 D, m.
and was told he would smash nv face.
Imagine comptroller OF the largest
city IN the world, spending $3.50, ,oOO,O0o
year Of the city's money, instead of
accepting service Of Supreme Court
order as such an official should do,
trst trying to evade service, and when

With assault. Shades Of Lenine and

Six Ex-Conyicts.
lanmany Men,
Listed to Vote
Probers in Complaints Of
Violations of Election
Laws Unearth Names i'm
Democratic Strongholds

Six ex-convicts, all good Tammany
men, were found on the registration
rolls yesterday in two Democratic
strongholds by Alexander Wolf, Special
Deputy Attorney General. investigat-
ing complaints of violations of the
election laws Three of them were
registered from one house in the Sd
Assembly District, two registered from
the same address in the 5th Assembly
District and another, giving an address
IN the same district, was found TO have
emerged from Jail but six weeks ago.
Altogether there were nineteen chal-
lenges added to the lists that will be
taken to the polls on Election Day by
watchers and election officers as the
result Of yesterdays Investigations.
The majority of them came from the
1st, 4th and 9Th Assembly districts.
1t was found necessary to issue sixty
subpoenas yesterday for the 4th Dis
trict alone.
$50 Cases Come Up To-day
"It looks as though there had been
wholesale planting of votes to prevent
anv possible election upsets in Tam
many strongholds." Mr. Wolf said yes
terday. We shall have before us to-
morrow 160 or more cases. making it
necessary to increase our force to ex-
anime them. On Election Dav there
will be not less than a hundred law
yers, all volunteers, who will be ready
to give legal assistance in preventing
the casting Of ballots by those who
are not entitled to vote.
I'VE are issuing warrants for every
person who is subpenaed TO appear at
the Board Of Elections and who aoes
not show up. The officers whs are
great difficulty in finding those for
whom they are issued"
In the 1st, Sd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9Th and
other Assembly districts where Illegal
regi istration on large scale is indi-
Gated special deputy attorneys general
will be stationed on Election Day. 1t
is from the regular Democratic dis
tricts that the greatest number Of COM
plants are coming. The special deputy
attorneys general will work without
pay.
Ineligible Women Register
In addition to the many apparently
deliberate attempts at fraud are the IL
legal registrations OF foreign born
women who are married to citizens but
who are not entitled to vote because
they have not been here for FIVE years,
the period required by law. 1t was de-
cided in these cases to notify the Of
tenders and warn them not to try to
vote, the OFFICIALS taking the view that
most of them were registered through
ignorance of the law and not through
intent to cast a dishonest ballot.
Deputy Attorney Genera Cortland A.
Johnson has been assigned to take
charge OF the investigation Of election
complaints here and will issue the
subpenas. Yesterday Captain Richard
Daniel lawyer who lives at the Army
and Navy Club, offered his services to
the Attorney Generals Office and was
sworn in as special deputy in election

Or does he have to stand around, or

Easements to wait until some other

Children do not vote. Mothers vote.

2,O0O-MILE DIVISION LINE
WITHOUT MILITARY GUARD
q. S.-Canada Boundary Loses Last
of Defenders" Corporal and
One Man.

BUFFALO. December 24.-The claim
that the 2,o00-mile boundary line be-
tween the United States and Canada
is without fort or military guard can
be restated today as a fact, following
the withdrawal of a military force
which all summer and fall occupied
Navy Island, in the Niagara river, just
above the falls.
The commandant of the force was
a corporal and his army" consisted
of one private. They were withdrawn
on orders from Ottawa and sent to
winter quarters at Toronto.
when the boundary line along the
Niagara frontier was drawn by treaty.
1t has an area of about thirty acres
and is one of the most picturesque
spots in the great lakes chain.
Many years ago the Canadian gov
ernrent leased Navy Island to Il Buff
falo corporation which proposed to
establish a vineyard and orchard
there. The concern did not progress
and ultimately sublet it's rights to a
tenant farmer. who was the sole per-
manent occupant of the island for a
quarter of a century.
Last spring the Canadian govern
ment desired to break the lease and
took action upon q clause which pro-
Yided that the instrument would be
the island for military purposes"
The military force was dispatched
forthwith and the island became mil
itary area of Canada.
Winter evacuation was decided upon
to save the army" from the rigors OF
field duty during the months of low
temperature.
