SUGGESTS REFORMS Superintendent Lecu'tj Files Report of His Work for Year. In his annual report "William Leary, State Superintendent of Elections, presents sev eral recommendations for the amendment of the election laws. lie recommends that all persons convicted of a felony be disfran chised even when sentence has been sus pended, that the law be amended so that a naturalized citizen must present his cortin cate before being registered, and that there hall be indorsed on It on the day that ho registers the fact that he has registered In the election and Assembly district, and the name of the officer who registered him. Mr. I4»ary also recommends that the poll book iontaini:- ; the signatures made on Election Day be riled with the Superin tendent of Elections instead of with the County Clerk. Other suggestions Include Increase of the force of the office and the time in which they may verify lists, as well es a salary basis of $1,200 a year for the one hundred permanent deputies who perform the same grade of work. The total number of arrests for violation < ■ ■ -- election laws was 493. Seventy-six : | Mta were found and thirty-three convictions have resulted, the greatest cumber since the office was created. Out of the 47,«92 names on the challenge lists Mi registration days only 40P registered. On Election Day there were 7.4^2 names on the challenge list. Of these 5,129 did not vote ■nd 108 arrests were made. The election of 1906 revealed numerous in stances, the report says, where, persons em ployed in city departments were the owners or lessees of apartments from which names had been falsely registered. The interest •w^iich many of these employes manifested in swelling the registration made it evident that every precaution must be taken to iorestall any plan that might be attempted to "stand for" an additional vote or two. The official lists of city employes were sys tematically checked, and preliminary report blanks were sent to more than thirty thou sand of them. These blanks were also sent to house holders from whose premises five or more persons were registered, to district captains end to inspectors of election. In addition >they were sent to lodging house keepers and to hotels holding liquor tax certificates And to- keepers of suspicious places throughout the city. Investigation of lodging houses and the reports of their keepers on the names of persons claiming a voting residence from them showed only SO per cent of persons so registered voted. Three employes of lodg ing houses who refused to furnish informa tion or to obey subpoenas were arrested and haw been convicted. According to the report, hundreds of rases of gross carelessness on the part of elec tion officers were found, and several were flawed m the hands of the Attorney Gen eral. Charges against 152 election officers filed with the Board of Elections. Of these twenty-s^ven were removed and forty faur were reprimanded. LIOSS IX SCHOOL. To Be Heard, Not Seen, Through Phonographic Record The call of the wild will *oon be heard in many of the schools of this city. In an ef fort to increase the interest of the young sters more than ever in the Zoological Gar dens at Bronx Park and In the study of roolosy. phonotrraphic records of the grunts, bellowings and grovrlings of the animals rci-ponsible for such soiinds ■will be repro duced in the schoolrooms of many of tha irlmarv schools. The work of getting such urordt will be under the supervision of As fiptar.t Curator Dltmars. Among the records already made are those of the howling of the wolves, which have met the highest expectations. It is when the lions begin to roar that the needle making the record is expected to be its bus! est, and if such a volume of sound does not cause the record to be one big discord there is little danger of any other records being •wasted by animals with loss volume to their calls. Mr Dltmars said yesterday that -with the reproductions of the animal records would , aiBO be given a. short talk descriptive of each animal and the length of time It had .been an inmate of Bronx Park. Speaking of the possibilities of Fuch an Innovation Mr. Ditmars said: "For dM youngsters in New York City ■ nothing has more interest than the Zoologi cal Park. I believe a little talk now and then about the animals, with reproduc tions of their roars and calls, would prove es valuable as Interesting." , / IDENTIFIES FLETCHER SNEAD. Newark Prosecutor Clears Uncertainty in Bathtub Case. Detective Hargan. of Prosecutor Mott's staff, returned to Newark, N. .T., yesterday from St. Catherines, Ont.. where he went in company with W. J. Adler. of New York, to talk -with Fletcher W. Snead, hus band of Ocey W. M. Snead, the East , Orange bathtub victim.

Prosecutor Mott wanted to bo sure that Snead was alive. Adler read ily recognized Snead, and Snead admitted he knew Adler. ■f-tive Hargan said Snead vas not ■wanted in New Jersey and no effort had b*-en made to induce him to go to Newark for any purpose Mrs. Mary Snead, Mikb Virginia Wardlaw and Mrs. Caroline B.

George Meyer and Jacob Barnett, twenty years old, were held in $1,000 ball in the Harlem police court yesterday on complaint of two young: girls, who swore the men locked them in a flat and tried to Ftarve them into BJißf on the street to earn money for them. According to Lillian Dwy*r. eighteen years old. of No. SOS East 125 th street, and Mabel Herman, twenty-one years old, of the same address, the two men met them at a dance on New Year's Eve, and eug- Rfsted that they have a little supper at their home. They took them to a flat in East USth street, near Second avenue. They ■ ..in told them they were prisoners till they consented to p<> on the streets to •am money and bring it to them. Early Sunday morning the Dwycr girl managed to escape, and told her story to the first policeman she met. The men were found at the flat and arrested and the Her man girl was freed. HELP WANTED Many employers are advertising for help this morning in the classi fied columns of THE TRIBUNE FAVOR COTTAGE PL AX Prison Life at Girls' Training School Deplored. Albany. Jan. 2.— Declaring that experience has shown that the confinement of girls In prison buildings arouses a contumacious spirit and in the case of many results in demoralization, the State Board of Chari ties in its forthcoming annual report to the Legislature will urgo the necessity of tho completion of additional cottages at the New York State Training School for Girls, at Hudson, so that all girls may be removed from the old prison building to cottages. The board says that with this change the girls will be under better disci pline and live in a more pleasant atmos phere. % The New York State Training School for Girls is the only Ftate institution to which destitute, neglected and delinquent girls under the age of fifteen years, from any part of the state, can be committed for training. When finally completed the maximum capacity of the institution vfiil provide accommodations tor five hundred. At present the school has seven three story brick cottages, each of which provides ac commodations for twenty-six pupils and three officers. The report sa>s. Each cottage is practically independent and as far as possible reproduces to the girls committed the methods and spirit of a family home. Besides the seven cot tages there are fourteen other building?, including a chapel, an administration build ing, storehouse, a prison (now used at one end for girls and at the other for a hospi tal), a schoolhouse, a three story cottage for mothers with their babies, a disci plinary building, icehouses and other minor structures. The general work of this school is de termined by the age and character of the girls committed to it. As a rule, they have bc-en either neglected or had unhappy home life, and their experience has given im proper views of life. They represent many nationalities, and in the case of the for eign born, at least, the first true concep tions of American institutions are formed in the school. Their ages range from un der twelve to eighteen years, but, whatever the age or cause of commitment, the in- Ftitution endeavors, by a course of train ing and suitable discipline, to promote their mental and moral development. The greatest influence in forming the character of the girls is their association with teach ers and matrons. In the schoolroom in tellectual training and ethical teaching are joined, and in the domestic life of the cot tages the industrial work is supplemented by the instruction and example of the matrons, and the girls find Ln the training school an atmosphere which incites to high ideals of life. The methods adopted, the classification, daily routine, music and physical training are all intended to assist the girls to self-control and a well ordered life. The completion of this institution to fts maximum capacity at an early date 1s urged. The board recommends that the legislature appropriate $257,000 for neces eary improvements. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATED. Professor Boas Addresses Negroes on Lincoln Act Anniversary. The anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation was celebrated at the Colored Men's Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, No. 252 West SSd street, yesterday. The proclamation was read, and Professor Franz Boas, who occupies the chair of anthropology at Co lumbia University, made an address, fre quently provoking great applause. "'The African negro," he said, "gave to the world the first method of smelting ore, and in that country the traveller finds the natives have a great many proverbs wimh the white man could take to heart. Many of them are similar to ours, the moral teaching being the same. Tn the wars of the Zulus it was proved that the black race has produced great leaders, who have been able to weld together an empire extending from ocean to ocean and at times successfully fight the English." Professor Boas said that the hygienic condition of the negro in this country has not improved as fast as it ehould. It was announced by the secretary, T. J Bell, that the Young Men's Christian Association will have a new building by next year and that, beginning with next Tuesday, a series of entertainments will be fciven for that purpose.
