every reason to believe she will con-
tinue this unbroken record and keen

to him with letter from a mutual
friend. That impulsive and great actor
was Immediately impressed. He handed
her part, told her to go home and
learn it over night and be back for
rehearsal in the morning. She did so.
Ter inexperienee aided her courage, for
it was the role of Virginia in the great
actors best play, "virginius." After
the rehearsal she looked at him in
qulringly. He told her to come again
the next morning. In week she was
McCullough's leading lady.

DEMANDS UPSTATE
REFORM IN VOTING
Wallis Asks State Inquiry Into
Lists on Which Signatures
Are Not Needed.

In a letter addressed TO Abran1 ,.
Gilbert, recently appointed Special Dep
uty Attorney General in charge OF the
work OF safeguarding elections from
fraud, Frederick A. Wallis yesterday
urged him TO investigate the registra
tion lists in such places upstate as per-
sonal registration does not prevail and
the signature law does not operate
Referring to these laws. (which are In
force in New York city. Mr.. Wallis
added: I'm many other parts OF the
State there is no such personal. regis
tration or signature tests required on
registration day or election day. Names
may be put on a polling list by any
one. and that person can vote or be
voted without his or her signature. You
are doubtless cognizant that where no
personal signature Is required. the door
is wide open for fragrant violations OF
the election laws"
Mr. Wallis asked for an immediate
examination of these voting lists SO
they may be purged before election
day." He added:
"Such examination will enable you
measurably to purify the polling lists
so that there will be minimum OF
voting by floaters from Canada. nom
residents or non-citizens along the bor-
der. 1t will likewise eliminate the vot-
ing OF non-residents or non-citizens
along the Pennsylvania border. where
Pennsylvania floaters are at present af-
forded too easy opportunity TO vote in
New York state. It will also prevent
voting of persons who may have died or
who have removed from the communi-
ties. and whose names may still be car
red on the voting lists. BY thus exert
ing the power vested in you by law,
you will bring about true and honest
expression of the people of this State,
by combining such expression to the
qualified citizens and rightful voters Of
the State"

gave him, and then took the number o.
the other machine and went directly tc

day night Gillen and two other mer
picked Lawson from the lineup. Just al
that time report was received that the
