Election Frauds in New York.

Election frauds, supposedly impossible
with the use Of the voting machine,
were committed on . large scale in the
recent balloting in New York. according
to charges brought and indictments re-
turned in that city. Upward Of nifty
election officials have been accused and
are to be tried by the Federal court in
that city, and the investigation is still
going on, with the prospect Of further
accusations. The specifications indicate
gross alterations Of the returns, votes
having been deducted from minority
candidates and added to those Of the
majority. While it does not appear
that these changes affected the result.
so great were the margins by which the
Democratic candidates for Federal Of
fees were elected, they nevertheless
manifest . complete disregard for the
ssnctlty Of the ballot. In a close elec-
ton they would undoubtedly have
changed the result to the defeat Of the
will Of the majority.
The voting machine. devised for both
accuracy and speed of returns. can. 1t
seems, be manipulated by venal inspec-
tors and elections officials. The ma
chine itself is faithful but the inspec-
tors and officials are not. As the In
dictments just returned disclosed, they
can and do falsify the record. The
written in ballots-as In the case Of For
mer Mayor Mckee, whose name was not
on the official ballot but who received
upwards of tw. hundred or two hun
dred and fifty r:Susand votes-can be
incorrectly recorded on the tally cards
and the sheets on which the names are
written can be lost" by the inspectors.
It is charged that in the counting OF
these written votes and also in the
counting Of the mechanically recorded
votes the partisan inspectors and clerks
of election. representing the majority,
in some cases crowded about the ma
chimes to the exclusion Of minority rep
resentatives and scored the totals re-
gardless OF the actual figures.
1t is virtually charged that there was
collusion between the Democratic and
Republican inspection groups in the
supervision Of the recent election In
New York. This is not new ACCUSE
tion. For a long time suspicion has
prevailed that there is a practical
working arrangement between the two
organizations in the metropolitan area
notably in Manhattan, whereby the
Tammany majority is abetted by the
Republican minority leaders. The trials
to come in these cases just returned
by grand jury will perhaps bring to
light the extent to which this Is the
case. In any event the public faith
in the voting machine Is . true re-
corder Of the peoples will has been
shaken. It Is not the machine that
fails, however, but the human agencies
handling it. Doubt may well be felt
whether it Is possible to devise any
mechanism that cannot be fraudulently
manipulated by dishonest men.

ROYAL Portraits,

Mrs. Thomas Brocklebank Of London
and Florence Is not very widely famous
on this side Of the Atlantic, but her
name will survive among scientists and
historians, If not In the recollection of
the general public. European and Amer
lean. Eighty years Of age, she has built
an enduring monument for herself in
department Of knowledge especially
unique and interesting. Working inde-
pendently and following technique
which has had a natural development
through the past quarter Of century
she has collected no less than four
thousand photographs Of members Of
the royal families, ancient and modern
of the Continent and Great Britain
This unparalleled treasury Of historic
art she has promised to leave to the
British Museum. It will constitute a
precious endowment Of scholarship
which other individuals may properly
take pride in expanding.
The history Of Mrs. Brocklebank's hob
by has q certain fascination. It evolved
from a small beginning. A group OF
portraits of members Of the Medici fam
lily attracted her attention. and she
photographed them. Later she discov-
cred . second group, then . third, q
fourth, and still others, until she had
accumulated q pictorial chronicle Of the
entire line. Gradually she became in

ornaments appeared again and again

she could identify individuals who pre-

dates for both pictures and persons. Al

collection. But she was not satisfied
merely to acquire the photographs. She
felt that she must organize them SCI

The Washington Monument.

General assent will be given to the
recommendation Of Lieut.. Col. Grant
that the present setting of the Wash
ington Monument be preserved and re-
tanned, with minimum of changes
necessary to bring the roads and plant
ing into relation with the Mall and the
Lincoln Memorial grounds. This sug-
gestion Is embodied in a report which
mas just been transmitted to Congress
by the President. 1t is based upon long
study of the matter which involves
consideration not only Of esthetic fac
tors but Of practical questions relating
to the stability of the foundation and
of the shaft itself
The original design for the Washing
ton Monument included q colonnade
about the base. That design was mod
ifed and the shaft was started from a
plane surface. When later the Gov
eminent assumed the task Of complet-
ing the structure 1t was first necessary
to enlarge and greatly strengthen the
foundation, a task which called for the
exercise of great engineering skill and
which was performed without the least
arrangement of the existing fabric. The
Monument was completed in 1885, and
was dedicated on the 22nd of February
of that year. In its simplicity Of outline
it was accepted as a perfect symbol Of
the first President, in whose name and
honor 1t was created. From time to
time plans were revived for the en-
bellishment of the base with elaborate
terraces and colonnade and other fea-
lures, and some years ago project for
a balustrade treatment was proposed.
Col. Grant in his report to Congress
reviews these suggestions and plans and
the considerations arising from the
probable early necessity Of efiecting
changes in the streets east Of the Monu-
ment. These changes, he points out,
would presumably involve excavations
which might affect the foundation Of
the shaft and would in any case need
to be most carefully planned and exc
cuted in the interest Of its security.
He recommends that consideration Of
any changes in the design be postponed
to the time when it may be necessary
to decide upon these street changes.
The Washington Monument Is now a
fixed feature Of the Capital, its outlines
made familiar to all the people of the
country, its character fully established
To change 1t In any respect from its
present simplicity, q shaft springing
from the earth in perfect form and pro-
portion, would be to create in effect a
new symbol, without advantage or gain
in significance and impressiveness. Any
establishment after more than half q
century would appear as nothing else
than an afterthought, with loss Of dig
nifty and meaning.

High Lights on the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands
Many More Leaving
Cuba Than Entering.


Diario Del Comercio, Barranquilla.-
According to statistics issued by the
Cuban government through the De-
immigration to that island Is exceeded
by emigration. In the year 1891 the ex-
cess of those leaving Cuba over the
number entering the island to assume
residence there was exactly 3l,429. In
the year 1902, departures exceeded ar
rivals by more than 1000, but diminu-
ton did not occur again until 1921,
the year of what was then called the
great crisis" for the reason, no doubt.
that the world had not experienced, up
to that time, as great crisis as the
present. In that year, departures ex-
ceeded arrivals by slightly more than
$4,000. and in every year there has been
a deficit Of approximately the same
extent.
The net enumeration OF this exodus
in latest years has grown from 6,841
in 1927 to 31,429. as we have said, in
1881. Since 1927, some 5,594 more
people left Cuba than came there, and
figure will be substantially increased
when reports for the present fiscal year
are completed.

GERMANY TO DELAY
PAY DUE MARCH 81

ury Mills.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Mills announced today that
the German government had made
known its intention of poStponing ap-
proximately $1,000, 900 due the United
States on March 81 ON account of pay
melts for the Mixed Claims Commits
sion and costs of the United States

which permit two-year delay In pay
ments upon 90 days notice Of intention
to postpone them.
In September the German govern
ment did not exercise its privilege until

Treasury on June 80 to waive the 90
day clause in the treaties, which Sec
retary Mills agreed to do.
Secretary Mills announcement said /:
'In accordance with the agreement the
mixed claims award portion viii bear
5 per cent interest and the occupation
costs will bear 35s per cent interest.
Under the treaties, the debtor nations
are given the privilege of postponing
principal payments, but cannot post
pone interest payments"
