Honest Ballot Association to Cause Brooklyn Arrests.

Acting for t'ae Honest Association, Jacob attorney, of Cil Broadway, Manhattan, yesterday procured seven warrants in the Adams street police court for the arrest of alleged fraudulent registrants. Magistrate Otto Kemp-ner Issued the warrants on the complaint of William McDonald, an Honest Ballot Investigator. He said that one of the had registered from a vacant baseball field. The six others do not reside where they claimed to reside on registration days. Eilperln Is preparing several other Brooklyn complaints on which he will apply for warrants.

Twenty-six new cases of fraudulent registration In New York County were yesterday turned over to Assistant District Attorney Train by the Honest Ballot Association. This makes nearly 500 cases that have been submitted In the last two weeks. Sixty-seven indictments have already been found. FUSION'S CARTOONS SLASHED BY VANDALS Mitchel Men Say Partisans of I McCall Tried to Destroy Displays. PAINTED FOR PARADE TONIGHT Pictures Showing McCall and Murphy to Be Patched Up for Use.

Vandals, whom the fusion managers declare were Inspired by McCall parti-sane, entered the Sea Beach Palace In Itailroad avenue. Coney Island, early today and slashed to shreds eight huge campaign cartoon which were to have been carried on floats in the Mitchel parade In Manhattan tonight. The cartoons were painted on canvases ten feet long and nine feet high. Some of them depicted Edward E. McCall, the Democratic cadidate for Mayor, as tied down to Murphy and Tammany Hall and others were directed against the Tammany leader.

All were copies of cartoons that have appeared recently in newspapers. Kube Merrisield, an artist, had been at work on the pictures tor some time. He wcrked until 3 o'clock this morning putting the finishing touches on several of them and the vandalism was commuted betweeu that hour aud o'clock this moruing, when the Fusion manage! discovered what had been done. They found that many of the canvases had been damaged past repair. The vandf.1 or vandals had obtained entrance to the building by crawling through a rear window that had been left open.

Kulves had beer, used In slashing the pictures. Boetzel Says It's Work of McCall Partisans, Eric L. Boetzel, chairman of the Mitchel Leagues of Manhattan, under whose direction the work had been went to Coney Island early this afternoon. After looking at tne torn canvases he declared that It was his belief that the work was that of McCall partisans. There had been no labor troubles of any kind on the job and he said he did not kuow of any others than strong McCall partisans who had any reason to commit the depredations.

Complaint was made Immediately to the District Attorney's office and to the local police. After working on it for hours both nolice and detectives admitted that they could assign nothing but a political motive to the vandalism HENNESSY Mil Sulzer 's Graft Hunter to Be Put on Stand Tomorrow, i "BLACK BOOK" USELESS Not Much Actual Evidence From Stilwell in It, District Attorney Finds. HEARSAY AND PROMISES. Hennessy Story of $34,000 Paid for Court Nomination Outlawed, At 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoou, District Attorney Whitman will put John A. Hennessy on the witness stand before Chief Magistrate McAdoo in Manhattan, as the first step In a Johu Doe Inquiry Into many of the "Inside" political transactions concerning which Hennessy has been making speeches for more than a week.

The Stilwell confession, however, will not cut much figure In this Inquiry. District Attorney Whitman has been all through the "black book" and ho does not find that It furnishes any evideuos against anybody. It contains threats of revelations and hints of exposure, but Stilwell was holding out for a pardon before he became specific, and uot getting the pardon, did not "deliver the goods," if he actually had them. Mr. Whitman returned to the city today, after a trip to Buffalo, where, he has been making campaign speeches In behalf of a friend.

The first thing he did was to take up the Hennessy charges. He read the "black book," which contains the Stilwell statements, made in Slu Sing prison, and also went over the statement made by Hennessy to John Kiri-laud Clark, assistant district attorney. Hennessy was before Assistant District Attorney Clark yesterday and Tuesday. No Value in "Black Book" for Prosecution, For purposes of prosecution Mr. Whitman found the Stlllwell "confession'' to be of no value whatever.

It Is admitted that Stilwell is accurately reported In the "black book." that there was a de-tectaphone through which the dialogue between him and his visitors was obtained. But Stilwell's story Is of the hearsay order and consists largely of promises of what he might reveal if he was furnished with a pardon dated before Sulzer's Impeachmeut. Stilwell was very cautious In his talks with his visitors. He hinted at much, hut he never became specific. There are suggestive remarks concerning the doings of the black horse cavalry at Albany I concerning lammany Senators, concern- ami persons interested in certain meas- But Stilwell made no open accusations against anybody.

He furnished nothing upon which Whitman can act in a criminal prosecution. District Attorney Whitman, however, after reading carefully the signed statements of Hennessy made to his assistant. Mr. Clark, decided there was enough basis to warrant a John Doe inquiry, which will accordingly begin tomorrow afternoon, with Hennessy lea.iing off as the first witness. The inquiry will be public, either being held In a courtroom or in the chambers of Magistrate McAdoo.

Mr. Whitman will take personal charge of the examination of Hennessy. who will probably be the only witness to go on the stand tomorrow. There is one story told by Hennessy in the most specific terms which is of great interest, but which Mr. Whitman will not devote any time to because the statute of limitation has barred any possible criminal prosecution.

In his statement to Clark. Hennessy declared that a certain Supreme Court justice, now on the bench, paid to Murphy $34,000 for his nomination. Mr. Whitman would not tell the name of this judge, because, under the statute of limitations, he can take no action in the matter, even It the charge were substantiated. The money which the judge paid was obtained from a woman client, Hennessy says in his statement, for which the then candidate gave his note.

This not is still existence, and Hennessv ts said to know whpre CBn be found. Tne trans- action, however, is nine years old, so that the District Attorney will devote no Stephen J. Stilwell, the convicted ex- seDilun ni iiie ni uux. ii whs sttiu Mb both his office and home is out ot town today. It was said he had gone to Phll- adelpbia and might not be back today and might not be back for several days.

Mr. GlodhlU reported trip out of the comes Just as the news of i Qn ln (hc cl what went on In the office of Warden Clancy on tho day that Hennesy went there for Governor Sulzer is made a matter of knowledge.

In the moBt lengthy Interview ho has Riven out in tho present polittenl campaign, If not in his wholo political experience, tho usually taciturn Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, said, today, that he had championed Gnynor at the time a retiomlnation was denied him; that hu had opposed Sulzer for Governor; that there was one time in bis leadership when he was "not boss." and that ho bail his own Idea of the mental condition of ex-Governor Sulzer. I Murphy without restrnlnt, nnd tile only reason why he stopped was because ins interviewers did. "Did you favor, as Mr. Metz has asserted, the rennniinatlou of Muyor Gay-nor?" he was asked.

Suffragists Declare "Antis" Are More Militant Than "Militants" Themselves Feeling Runs High. occurred yesterday afternoon between the suffragists and "antis" in front of the Anti-Suffrage headquarters at 21 Hanson place. Workmen and hangers-on about the Long Island Railroad station formed a flying wedge and knocked over the suffragists' "voice- Miss Marjorie Dorman, "Ann," Wim Is Accused by Suffragista of tieliiK Too Militant. less speech" stand, which In turn fell on some of the suffragists themselves. As a result, feeling betweeu tho two factious ran high today.

Miss -Marjiu ie Dorman, head of the "antl-tls" bus appealed to Captain Hayes of the HtJib I'reciuct, to the City Magistrate's Court and to John B. Creighton. to have the suffragists driven from off the sidewalks. As tho suffragists have Mr. Creighton's permit to speak on the street, Miss Dorman has had little success.

Several suffragists today charged Miss Dofman with being mor euiilltaut in spirit than the militants themselves. "I was surprised at the militant way In which Miss Dorman acted yesterday," said Mrs. Nellie W. Craig of S17 Park place. "She scolded us and used abusive said tnat we'd like to scratch hei eyes' out ana break her wiu-dows.

That is absolutely a fabrication If there was any rioting It was done by the "antis The Antis" a Constant Source or Trouble. Since the establishment of the anti-suffrage headquarters on Hanson place, with the avowed purpose of counteracting the Influence of the suffrage parade on Saturday afternoon, the Brooklyn suffragists have fouud the place a thorn In their sides. The very lirst day It was opened the suffragists sent their very prettiest girls around to the Hanson place headquarters to distribute suffrage literature. The "antis" answered this by sending a number of small boys to suffrage headquarters at 27 Lafayette avenue to distribute anti-suffrage literature. The boys, however, according to the suffragist story, were driven away by a policeman.

The suffragists appeared yesterday morning on the sidewalk in front of the nntl-sun'rnge headquarters, with their "voiceless speech" arrangement, which consists of an easel on which are hung suffrage placards. Miss Dorman asked the suffragists tu move, but they refused. "Would you arrest me, if 1 put my hand on this easel?" said Miss Dorman to a policeman, according to Mrs. E. Chr.rlion L.

Goddard, of 411 East Sixteenth street. Then she added, according to Mrs. Goddard. "Are you going to move this thing or shall Miss Dorman Wouldn't Deign to Have Them Arrested. "I knew I could have them arrested." said Miss Dornia.

today. "But 1 did not want to stoop to such measures, and they probably would have liked it anyway. Wo are conducting an educational campaign, and we're only here for a neck. They hnve had lots and Iocs of time to air their views. Although they have moved their 'voiceless speech' into the street, feeling Is still very high, and as the men in the neighborhood are solidly in sympathy with us, I don't know how it Is all going to come out." Mrs E.

Carlton L. Ooddard told today how she hod gone Into the antl-suffrago headqi'irters on Monday afternoon after hearing Dr. Anna Howard Shaw denounce militancy and ail its ways before the W. C. T.

When Miss Dorman was asked to explain this apparent lapse on the part of the she said: "Dr. Shaw has repeatedly urged violence. In fact nearly all the suffrage leaders in America have don the same thing at one time or another, but as soon as they realized that nillltnui was hurting the cause In I England, tho turned about and ceased to talk of violence.

Dr. Shaw did the same! thing. But we're on to her. It she did not believe in violence, why did she not contradict this newspaper report when: It appeared?" I ANOTHER REPUDIATION. Bohack Co.

"Our firm has nothing to do with Tarn- many Hall and doesn't want anything to do with it," said Mr. Neuman to the manager of the Gates avenue branch of The Eagle today.

Supreme Court. Washington, October 30 There are no precedents tor tie Supreme Court reviewing impeachment proceedings as such.

Control of State Seized Is Claim Sulzer Still Lawful Governor, Contends William H. Moore, Tue Initial step In the effort to have the action of the Sulzer High Court of Impeachment reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United States was taken today, when William H. Moore, an employe of a morning newspaper, through his counsel, Colonel John Leary, filed papers in an injunction suit In the United States District Court.

The defendants Include William Sulzer, Martin Glynn, Thomas Carmody, Mitchel Michael J. Walsh, Henry D. Ham-llty, Individually and officially; all the Judges of the Court of Appeals, and Senators individually and as officers of the State o( New York. Mooro claims that the Constitution of the United States, Article 4. guarantees to him and the people of the State of New York, a Republican form of government, and that In consequence of that guarantee (tie People of the.

State adopted a Constitution which is now in force and effect, and guarantee of the form ot Government includes and contemplates a government under the supervision, administration, direction and control of a Governor to be selected by all the citizens of the Slate. The powers and duties of the office of Governor, Moore says, are ao comprehensive aud so great, that seizure and usurpation of that office Is In substance and effect the seizure and usurpation of the government of the State and a denial to him and the citizens uf the State of a republican form of government. Moore's complaint also alleges that for a long time prior to the flrfet of January. 191.1, last, the State of New York, as such State, appropriated and expended vast sums of money amounting In the aggregate to hundreds of millions of dollars, which money has been paid out by various public officers Intrusted therewith, in a manner and under such circumstances as to' engender, foster and create strong feeling that the time hud arrived where the safety and welfare of tho State required a thorough Investigation by the Governor In the nature of full. complete unit detailed 'Kcroftmlng by all tho officers of the State and the various political subdivisions thereof, not only as to the expenditure of vast sums of money, but also as to the propriety of political appointments made in the State and its various departments, and the character and efficiency hereof.

Continuing, Moore says that by reason of the State supposing to, and. In fact, actually expending such vast sums of money. It attracted and aroused the Interest and activities ot certain of Its citizens to obtain conrol of he public offices of the State, by having elected and appointed thereto only such citizens as were and are In sympathy and accord with them as to the manner nnd condition under which these vast sums should bep aid out ythe State. And these citizens, so interested themselves in the expenditures of the money of said state anw of its various political subdivisions, Moore alleges, have succeeded In getting control of many of the offices ot the state by obtaining the election or appointment to many of the offlers. Including membership in the Legislature, of men who aro wholly In spm-pathy.

accord with, and obedient to them In the performance of the functions of several offices or lack of performance. "That to such an extent have these citizens, so interesting themselves In obtaining control of the expenditure of money of the said State, been successful," Moore says, "that your orator and most of the citizens of the State believe that the administration of the State had, on lanunry I last, and has, passed out of nnd beyond control of the people of thp State Into the control of one or two of the men so Interesting themselves as aforesaid, together with a small group of other citizens In accord with them. In the solo purpose of obtaining control of the moneys of the State to their sole use and benefit, and not with any hope, desire or ambition to profit or safeguard the Stato In the expenditure thereof." Moore, In the complaint, next tells of tho election ot Governor Sulzer for a terra of two years expiring January 1, 1014, and says that after he had qualified and entered upon the execution of tho duties of said office, he has not since resigned or relinquished his title to the office. In any manner, and Is now tlio lawful Governor of the State. Moore also tells of the summoning of the extraordinary session of the Legisla ture on June 15, and says that the Assembly on July 12, after It hnd convened at extraordinary session, illegally and assuming and arrogating to Itself the right to reconvene said House of Assembly nnd Illegally assuming to have tho right to consider and pass articles of Impeachment of Governor Sulzer, went through the form of reconvening and passing articles of Impeachment, which pretended articles of Impeachment were attested by the Clerk of the Assembly aa a valid and legal article of Impeachniont of tho Governor of the State.

Further on 1n the eomplnlnt Moore says the defendants, "claiming to be a Court of Impeachment, voted that William S11I-jor wbb guilty as charged in several of the nriicles on which the impeachment proceedings were based, and that the defendant, Martin Glynn, acting in sympathy accord, conduction and with the other defendants, constituting said illegal Court of Impencbmint, Imniedlatelv took the oath of office of Governor of the State of New York and wrongfullv asiimcd and Is assuming to exercise and perform all U10 powers, duties ami functions of that office and that Mr- defendants are using all the power of their several offices 10 maintain Glynn a Governor to the exclusion of the said William Sulzer." Would Restrain Glynn From Acting as Governor. Among other things Moore prays the Federal Court that a writ of Injunction Issue enjoining and restraining Martin Glynn from acting or attempting to act as Governor of the State of New York or attempting to do any act or thing, or attempting to assume any ot the func tions or prerogatives thereof, or In any 1 way or manner Interfering with William 1 Sulzer In the performance and the dis- charge of the duties of the office of Governor by him. und, further restrain- Ing and enjoining euch nnd all ot the other defendants herein from in any way or manner or to any extent giving fores Ex-Governor Sulzer evidently feels that he got "Justice tempered with Murphy."
