Washington", Oct, J. Specific charge
of corruption In tho Eighth Assembly dis
trict of New York county In the primaries ,
were laid at the doors of the Iloosefelt
managers to-day by Ogden L.. Mill-",
treasurer of tho Republican county com
mittee of Now York county.
The charges had been laid beforo Dis
trict Attorney Whitman, the witness said.
Documentary evidence tending to prove
the frauds were Introduced in evidence
by Mr. Mills.
The disclosures opened a new line of
Inquiry and it Is likely that witnesses will
be called from New York to testify. The
poll book of the Fourth election district
In the Eighth Assembly district was put
In evidence by Mr. Mills.
It disclosed the fact that the alleged
voters, all of whom were recorded for.
Roosevelt, liad cast their vutes in alpha
betical order, which, Mr. Mills suggested,
raised a strong presumption that the
rames had leen copied Ironi the published
list in the City Record nnd an equal num
ber of Roosevelt votes put into the ballot
box.
More than a sixth of thoe nlleged to
have voted In alphabetical order for
Roosevelt had moved out of tho district
or ha'd died before the election. One man
recorded as voting was in the hospital
election day 'having his leg amputated,"
mid Mr. Mills.
The witness declared that the Repub
lican primaries as far as the Tuft mana
gers were involved were as clean as any
(Jection ever held In New York county,
ne charged that Louis Friedel, captain of
one of the election districts in the Eighth
Assembly district, had de-erted lYesident
Taft on primary election day Samuel
S Koenig, county chairman, learning of ,
tho fact, oall"d up rrteilel, who denied
that he had swung to Roosevelt. Tho re- '
turns from tho district, however, showed
a unanimous vote for the Roosevelt elec
tors and subsequently Friedel was given
an appointment in Comptroller I'render
gast's office.
"Your testimony indicates gros cor
ruption," suggested Senator I'omerene.
"That is the only inference to be drawn
from the results, " replird Mr. Mills.
Forced to Itepl)- lo Honker.
The witness declared that he had b"en
forced to make tho disclosures by the
repeated and persistent charges by Elon
II Hooker, treasurer of the Ilon-evet
CHARGES
RAUD
committee, anil Judge Charles II Duel,
manager of Roosevelt's campaign in
New York county, that the Taft managers
had been guilty of frauds. Mr. Mills
estimated tho total expenditure made
by tho Taft managers in tho New York
county primaries to be a sum not exceed
ing $24,000 ami proabbly only about
121,000, which is less than half the amount
spent by tho Roosevelt managers, accord
ing to the official statement of E II .
Hooker, treasurer of the Roosevelt com
mittee. ! "" Five other witnesses were examined

Mr. Mills showed considerable feeling
In testifying before the committee in re
gard to the charge recent Iv made by
Treasurer Hooker of the Roosevelt or
ganization that 3(1,000 votes cast for Roose
velt in the primary in New York count v
never were countVsl, Mr Mills pointed
out that the polls in that primary contest
were fullv manned by Roosevelt watchers.
1 hen Mr Mills referred specifically to
the Eighth Assembly district.
A limit Kluhtli Aaseiiilily llNtrli-t.
"On March ?.". said he, "some one
called up Mr Samuel S. Koeuig, chairman
of the Republican county committee, nnd
informed him that one of his district
leaders, the Eighth Assembly diMrict. Mr
Louis Friedel, had sold out to the Roose
velt people Koenig called up Friedel
on the telephone nnd put the proposition
up to him perfictly straight Friedel
denied it, said he wns acting on behalf
of Mr '1 lift and would continue to bo
lovnl.
"Wo took his word for it Tho Eighth
Assembly district was one of the two.and
only tw-o'districtstogo for.Mr. Roosevelt.
The other one was the Seventh Assembly
district, where there was a factional fight,
where there were three tickets in the Held
and where Roosevelt's delegates appeared
on two."
"The vote in the Eighth Wembly dis
rict shows some extraordinary llgifres,
which can only be explained when wo
reinemb-r tluit the people who were
supposed to look after the Taft interests
were under the direction of Mr Friedel
and did not look after the Taft interests
and that the Roosevelt people prnb-
ablv did not have any watchers there
at j view of the fact that they knew
.Mr. 1 nedel would look alter their in
terets.
"In a district in which 1,2I voters were
entitled to vote an many as i.onI went
to the (Kills and voted, which is a higher
percentage than ever was cast in any
primary election in New York county
at anv'time The figures ore all the more
extraordinary because the Eighth As
sembly district is in two Congress
ih-triets, the Twelfth nnd tho Fifteenth.
In the 'Ihirteenth Congress district
there was no contest. The delegates to
the national convention were tho same
on both tickets though it is notoworthv
that both gentlemen. .Itidge Murrnv and
Mr March, voted for Col Roo-evelt'
"In the Twelfth Congress district
the delegates were J. Van V Olcot? anil
Alevauder Wold on tho Tuft ticket and
tireeiibaum and Hloomingilale on the
Roosevelt ticket Tho, First, .Second,
'Ihird. Fourth. Fifth. Fifteenth and Six.
teenth Election districts of tho Eighth As
sembly district are in tho Twelfth Con
gress district.
"It is to tho figures in these six election
districts that I want to call the com-tnuti-e's
particular attention, the six-
election districts in the Twelfth Congress
district m which there was a contest
"In the First Election district ninety
eight names were returned a- voting
There was a subsequent inv sttgntion
made by us which showed that twetitv
of these jieoplo had not voted or had
moved from the district.
"In the Second Election district ninety,
three were returned as having oted
and of this number fitty-tlvo either did
not vote or else they had moved from tho
district
TuM Allcrimlen Cut Vote.
"In the Third election district no votes
w'ere case for the Taft delegates, al
though tho Taft alternates received
exactly the same vote as the Roosevelt
delegates. This is accounted for by tho
fact that ono of .Mr. Friedel's friends was
one of tho Taft alternates."
Ho then told of similar instances in
other districts and added:
"I submit for your investigation a
duplicate of the poll book of the Fourth
election district of tho Eighth Assembly
district, which is remarkable in that
of tho 1 f i votes cast practically every
one of them, with few exceptions, was
cast in alphabetical order.
"A glance at the Citj llceord, published
bv the city of New ork, is ulso illumi
nating in so far as it show what was prob
ablv done, because tho names in tho poll
boo'k practically correspond with tho
names in tho City Ittcord in the order in
which they are published."
'I ho committee members were Inter
ested in these disclosures, but Senator
Clapp looked pained
"I do not want you gentlemen to be
lieve for one minute that I am insinuating
that Judge Duell or Mr Hooker knew of

askiil Senator l'aynter with a smile,
".No, sir well, I don t want to mention

want to go into that, but I will say that it
was commonly report isl to mo during tho
two weeks preceding the primaries that
one of the Republican livulers who had
gone over to Mr Roosevelt, and did
it openly, was handling a largo fund for
the practical purposes of the campaign "
itk'Who was that man'" asked Ch.urman
Clapp
"William Halpin of tho Seventh Assem

Iiuis F. Friedel was until four weeks ago
Ilepublican leader of tho Eighth Assembly
district. Since August 1 he Ims liecn in the
Department of Hovenuo Collection of
Comptroller l'rendergant's offU-o. Ijist
night hn was shown a copy of Ogden Mills's
testimony at Washington in which it was
said that the ballot boxes in his district
were Muffed for Itoosovelt nt tho pri
maries last spring. Mr. Friedel failed to
see Just, how the testimony nffected him.
"Of course a poll book which shows that
the votes had been oast in alphabetical
order would be significant," he said. Hut
I know nothing of that; I wan not an eleo
tion inspeotor. Why, the election won
ho quiut that I didn't even visit half the
polling places. The election inspectors
are the ones who must answer that chargo
if there are any grounds for it.
"Tho statement that I received my Job
hero ns a result of my work for Itoosovelt
and Preiidergost la absurd. Why, I
haven't oven seen l'rendergast since I
heard him speak at the corner of Orchard
and Grand streetn when Stimson wan run
ning for Governor. I havo lieen wanting to
get a Job here for three years and tho
mere fact that I got it only last August
means nothing at nil."
When asked who tho election inspectors
were Mr. Friedel said that ho knew they
were good, standi Republicans, but with
forty Inspectors In the diMrict it was im
possible for him to naino tho men who had
acted in tho Fourth.
"Wliy, even If tho ballot boxes were
stuffed," ho continued, "ns thoy were not,
an far as my knowledgo goes, no ono
would be crudo enough to copy names
from tho City ltrcod In alphabetical order.
"If they want to start an election in
vestigation let them go over to Sam
Koenig's dlatrlct, for instance, The
ltoohitvelt sentiment thero is as strong as
it Is In my district, but Taft received
an overwhollng majority. Thero are
other districts too where the witno thing

The new Aeolian Conrcrt Hall, located on the ground

workers of Portland. M. E. Dookan.,
The District Attorney sayn he is getting
so many such letters and telegrams that
he pays no attention to them.
Local unions in a number of trades in
this city received yesterday copies of a
call issued by tho Industrial Workers of
the World, printed in red letters, for a
national strike if Ettor and Giovannlttl
aro convicted. Tho call says:
Strike to free Kttor ond Olovnnnlttl If
the capitalist court convicts them. Tie
up the Industries, Tie up the country.

murder, are capitalist dynamiters. The
vital statistics of Lawrence show that tho
average llf of its manufacturers is fifty

operators Is thlrty-nlnn years, The manu
facturers live on an average nineteen years
longer than do the workers who produce
all wealth.
