of the Western Union Telegraph Com-1
pahy has authorized a subscription of |
$150,000 to the United War Work Cam- j
paign. At noon to-day 100 per cent?

Vice-President Anpeals
While the Lambs and the Friars,
"paving" Fifth Avenue with silver, and
Marie Dressier, the "Seven-in-One
Lady," vied with the country circus in
Bryant Park and aerial performers
and "human flies" all over town in
coaxing loose- change from the passer?
by, Vice-President Thomas Marshall
issued an appeal strongly backing up
Dr. Mott's warning, drawn from the
national results of the campaign thus
far.
"Lit us not shirk our duty and op?
portunity in the present, war work cam?
paign," the Vice-President said. "Let
us rather seize the chance of proving
once again that republics are not un?
grateful, Two or three times the
amount of money now risked by the
seven war relief pgenc'es would have
been cheerfully contributed by the
American people if our boys had con?
tinued to go down to death upon the
Western front.
"It is not so very dangerous to die.
It is, however, the height of danger to
live, and there is now no more dan?
gerous occupation on earth than that
which the American soldier will face, in
field, camp and hospital upon the con?
clusion of hostilities.
"What shall it profit the American
people if they save the lives of these
boys, but lose their souls?''

enthusiasm that it undertook its part.

He said he received no salary, but I
when lie attended meetings of the '
board of directors, about once a month, :
he was handed a ten-dollar bill.
"To whom do you look for orders?",
acked Mr.ydr Hylan.
The witness stated he "took up dif- j
feront matters" with C. D. Meneely, :
vice-president and treasurer, and with j
J. H. Beiinington. the secretary.
Mr. Meneely wa. the next yitness.
He said his salary was divided among !
ten of the companies and wns paid i
with ten separate vouchers, .?.s vice- !
president he "0 R'd" the vouchers in
the absence of President Halloek, and
as treasurer he paid these vouchers
which he had approved in his capacity
as vice-president.
Asked about the presidents of va?
rious subsidiaries of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, Meneely replied:
"In the case of these gentlemen
you might call them dummies, ?m-,
rather, figureheads."
Yeomans, the chief counsel for the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, in testifying,
: said that he believed Dempsey had
conferred with Williams with ?egard
to the strike of motonnen whi;ii had
crippled the lines of the company on
i the day of the wreck. ,
Dempsey Last Authority
? Yeomans said that even the board of
i directora had nothing to do with
1 Dempsey's duties as head of opera?
tions.
"Whom is he accountable to for any
act?" asked Mayor Hylan.
"I think he is the final head so far
as operations is concerned," replied
Yeomans.
"Who can remove him-?" asked the
Mayor.
"I suppose his resignation could be
asked for by the Board of Directors,"
replied Yoemans.

Hundreds Are Denied
Passports to Europe
Shipping offices here were crowded
yesterday by hundreds of persons
? ?ger to sail for Europe. They found
that the signing,of the. arm'stice did
not open general ocean travel. Get?
ting passports and accommodation!: on
outgoing vessels is n_ difficult as in
war.
Customs and immigration officials, as
well as heads of various steamship
lines, made it plain that the govern?
ment does not intend to permit any in?
vasion of European battlefields by
i American sightseers.

Whitman Deprived
Of Votes in Count
Here, Fuchs Says
Original Marks Crossed,
Governor's Representa?
tive Charges
Former City Magistrate Emil Fuchs,
representing Governor Whitman yes?
terday before 'the County Board of
Canvassers when the 1st Assembly
District was officially canvassed, said
that according to the tally sheets Gov?
ernor Whitman had been deprived in
the count of 119 votes.
The original taliy marks were on
the sheets, but in various instances a
lead pencil line had been drawn across
the original marks, cutting out a dozen
or thirteen, leaving enough tallies to
correspond with an arbitrary number
marked in figures on the right-hand
edge of tlie tally sheet.
Another circumstance that has
aroused the suspicions of the Whit?
man men, to which Mr. Fuchs called
attention last night, is the discrepancy
between the vote cast for Charles W.
E',rvin, the SSocialist candidate for Gov?
ernor, and the other Socialist candi?
dates on the state ticket. In one elec?
tion disrict of the 1st Assembly Dis?
trict canvassed yesterday, Caere were
ninety Socialist votes recorded for 'the
Congressional nominee and only two
for Mr. Ervin.
Lost Fifty to District
"I should say that on an average
Mr. Ervin ran behind his associates
on the Socialist ticket by about fifty
votes to an election district," said Mr.
Fuchs. "The Smith men y.sterday ex
pi lined it by saying that Mr. Ervin,
who is the editor of 'The Call,' is un
popu.ar, while Smith is popular with
Socialists. That may be true, but if
it if,. I do not sec why the Democrats
should object, to it verification of it
by opening up the ballot boxes at the
station houses and allowing the dis?
crepancy to be fully corroborated. It
looks as if Ervin ran about 1,000 be?
hind his ticket in the First Assembly
district. That does not seem reason?
able."
In the fifteenth election district of
the First Assembly district, two votes
were recorded for Whitman and 339
for Smith.
In the tenth election district, thirty
eight votes, snid to have been Repub?
lican, were thrown out because of a
thumb mark which mysteriously ap?
peared after the ballots had passed
through the hands of a Tammany in?
spector.
Tally Sheets Missing
In the 8th and 13th election dis?
tricts ot* the 1st Assembly District
there were no tally sheets for the can?
vassers to work with yesterday, the
only canvass figures available "being
those on the outside of the envelope
which should have contained the tally
theet.
The canvassers yesterday completed
the 1st Assembly District* and nearly
finished the 2d. The total vote re?
corded for Governor in the 1st Dis?
trict was 13 038, divided as follows:
Alfred E. Smith, 11,213; Charles S.
Whitman. 1,825. Yesterday two can?
vassing tables were operated. To-day
there will be five tables.
George A. Glynn, Republican state
chairman, yesterday received the offi
cial canvass returns from Oswego
County, showing a gain for Whitman
over the unofficial returns of 70 votes.
Warron County gave Whitman a gain
of 86. On Tuesday Nassau County
showed a Whitman gain of 300 and
Coyuga a gain of 12.c
The official vote for candidates fot*
state office in Westchester County in
the election of November 5 was as fol?
lows:
Governor, Whitman, Republican, 37,
424,.and Prohibition vote. 1,285; Smith,
Democrat, 30,149.

back the soldiers and sailors and took
the three original prisoners and eight
others into the station.

as having struck a blow. The three
sailors, all from the same United

sponsible for the boys' being deal?
the additional profit they ttqoeet-t

still further aggravated by the rtwi

Forced to Buy Papen
"Wo might have retained mosto,ou
business and eked out a toierable lit,

we handled 'The American* a

"Besides, we couldn't return ?t>
