Ade aot haat j GAMELERS OFFER $300,000. BRIBE TO CAPT. PIPER — Police Commissioner, Greene Says the Tender Was Made by an Agent of the Pool-Room Syndicate Last June to'a Relative of the Deputy Commis- . sioner, Police Commissioner Greene declared to-day that last June an agent of the Pool-room syndicate made an offer to Deputy Commissioner Piper of $300,000 to allow the pool-rooms of the city to Tun quietly until Jan, 1 The Commissioner said that not only Had the offer been turned aside with Scorn and indignation, but an effort had been made to have the agent of the pool-room men indicted. This effort, however, failed. Commissioner Greene made his state- ment of the $300,000 offer to Deputy Commissioner Piper as follows: “Barly last June John Doe, repre- senting Higrel: to be an agent of the peol-ronm 4;nJicate. called on Richard line, & relative of Deputy Commissioner Puner, ac the Intter's place of business. Jenn Dev ans < Roe conferred in a ccrner o! th» sicre Doe's proposl- tion was that if Richard Roe would get Capt. Piper t» convent to a quiet runiing of pool-rooms until Jan. 1 he would pay to Capt. Piper $300,000, and would pay the handsome sum of $75,000 19 Richard Roe for his services. “Richard Roe was very indignant. He refused to take the message to Capt. Piper and ordered the man out ‘of his office. He has never seen him since. “Pen days later Richard Roe told Capt. Piper of the incident. Capt. Piper repeated It to me. I told him to see the District-Attorney and see if he could have Doe indicted. The District-Attor- ney told Capt. Piper that as there were no witnesses it would simply be one man's statement against another's, and the Indictment could not be obtained. ‘There the matter dropped, “The real name of John Doe I do no- know and I have never been able to as- certain it. I do know the name o Richard Roe, but do not think it 1 necessary to bring him into the matter.” The negotiations to obtain permission for the pool-rooms to run without polfte molestation was first teought to public Attention In a statement made by the Rev. Dr. Paddock, formerly of the Pro- hedral on Stanton street. Dr. Pad- dock-sald that his informant was a high Christian friend of undoubted charactee He aid in regard to this friend's com- munication: “This mutual friend came to me and told me, In the strictest confidence, that a certain well-known man had gone to, the high city oficial something more than « month ago and had offered him $300,000 1f he would use his influence And good offices to permit gambling in the city during the months of October, Nqvember and December. This offer was made In this way: If the city offt- clal would see to it that gambling con- ducted quietly would not be attacked or molested this briber and his associates would pay into the elty officials bani account $100,000 at the end of each of the months of October, November and ix cember. “I am not to say 1f the offer was made to Mayor Low, to Commissioner Greene or to District-Attorney Jerome. LEADERS 10 GET ~ PARLY RETURA Elaborate Preparations Have Been Made by Men in Brook- lyn to Find Out How the Elec- tion Has Resulted. ‘ Genator P, H. McCarren will recelve the retiirns from Kings County in the offices of the Democratic organization in Brooklyn, Four telegraph wires have been run into the bullding., Over two of them will come the returns from the Various election districts as rapidly as they are gathered by the police or by others, Another will be used to send re- turns to Manhattan, and from Manhat- tan returns will be received oyer the re- maining wire. In addition to this service there will be the telephones, over which will be recelyed the first figures as soon as they fare tabulated, Senator McCarren de-| eves that when a dozen election dis- tricts have been heard frorh and com- parisons mada with the vote of 1901 the Tesult in the county can be figured out. + unless the yote ts extremely close. ! epudlican Headquarters there w:ll | be as many if not not more wires than there will be in the Jefferson Building. Chairman Jacob Brenner, with various candidates, will receive the returns there and like Senutor McCarren he de- Heyes the first dozen or so of election! districts will show the drift of the vote and the result, F. Harvey Feld, in charge of the campaign of the Citizens’ Union, will hear his returns as soon as his allles and opponehts, Like Mr, Brenner and Senator McCarren he has made arrange- ments to do some lightning calculating early In the game, The percentage of change In the vote one way or the other will tell the story. All the Kings County managers will be-in close touch with New York, Mr, Field with Mr. Cutting, Mr. Brenner, with Mr, Bruce, and Mr. McCarren with Charles F. Murphy. The eyes of Manhattan will be on Brooklyn, If it goes for Low as it did two years ago and the early returns in- dicate a plurality of 40,000, as claimed by Mr. Brenner, the interest will be keen as the question of Manhattan and the Bronx offsetting the vote of Brooklyn will be the one about which the gucss- ing and figuring will have to be done. If early returns show Brooklyn to ve as Mr. McCarren claima\it will be, for MoCleljan, the election Will be looked upon as almost a landsiide for Mc- Clellas As \t 4s, political prophets have had thelr day, canvasses have been made which show that both. men will win. MoCarren claims Brooklyn.” So does My. Brenner and eo does Mr, Field. Murphy claim’ the city, é¢ does Mr, Bruce, so dock Mr, Cutting. In the getting of returns, for the first time in years Hugh McLaughlin will not have the Democratle figures, Heretofore when the figures were received they were aent ut once to him In the auction toom. Still, he will learn the result early, Arrangements have been made for him to get the returns and several of the faithful will be with him in the hour when he will learn what effect his fight against Tammany has had, Martin W, Littleton, who refused to accept Grout,and Fornes, and who is a candidate for Borough President, will in’ all’ probability receive the returns with Ross McLaughlin. The other can- idates on the county ticket will be in the Jefferson Building, DEVERY RUNNING TO BEAT TAMMANY Big Chief’s Right-Hand Man Ad- mits His Employer’s Only Idea Is to Attract Enough Votes to Defeat the Tiger.

No Democrat Impairs His Standing or Regu- larity by Voting for Low. (From Edward M, Grout’s Letter to R, F, Cutting) 1am a regular and consistent Democrat, as Mr. Low is a Republican, and upon this issue circumstances in the past have placed me in a peculiar position, The State constitution and laws made the test of party regularity one's yote upon State and national candidates, not his action in local affairs; but the party organizations have always been loth to recognize this law in practice. *A few years ago former Senator Coffey, of Brooklyn, did a marked public service by contesting in the courts for this principle and by securing favoruble decision upon i in the Court of Appeals, and last fall in the State campaign the Demo- cratic, organizaztions, both of Kings and New York Counties, for the first time that I know of, gave practical recognition to this prinieple by recognizing my party regularity, althougi I was then the Fusion Comptroller. It thus falls that 1 am in position such as not many other Democrats hold to show by accepting again thin nomination that the approaching municipal contest is not-a fight between Republicans and Democrats, but between citizens and upon purely locai issues, und that Fusion success this year can have no more effect upon the Presidential election of next year than the Fusion success of two years ego ind upon the State election of last year. The issues to be passed upon are those affecting city affairs. They in no wise affect Republican- ism or Democracy. It is the legal right, 1t ought to be the undisputed privilege of every Demo- ocrat or Repudlican, whatever the action of his party convention and without prejudice to his party relations, to vote in such municipal contest for what candidates he choozes, And in so doing he affects not at all the probable action of New York City In future nationa! or State elections.

Morgan, who has recetved information The figures will de furnished by Rsed hyp © ror, - that a gang of 30 repeaters has been orgapized in the Quaker City to help the Tammany cause along in New York to-morrow. ‘The names of the leaders of the gang are known, and they include names that are famillar to the sporting and gam- bling fraternity all over the country. Not only from Philadelphia are the repeaters coming, but from Troy, Al- any, Newark, Jersey City and even Boston, It !s from the Philadelphia gang, however, that Tammany expects the most work. The lenders of this gang include Tom Burke, a gambler; “Nut” Hagan, an ex-prize-fighter; Hugh Daly, a gambler; Jerry O'Brien and Stephen McLaw, sporting men, and ‘Fitesimmons,” a shell worker with circus attractions, Are, of Good Class. The repenters are not of the hobo variety, but are selected from the more intelligent class of sporting men and gamblers, many of whom happen to be in hard luck in Philadelphia at the pres- ent time, It is sald that Tammany ha: guaranteed the repeaters $20 each for the day's work and all hotel and trans- portation expense “Bob” Dady, known as the Philadel- phia Polley King, who manages a num- ber of sporting ventures in the Quaker Cy and who is a prominent member of the Eagles, of which order “Big Tim" Sullivan Is the National head, is sald to have refused to bring a gang over, tear- ing the laws of New York and chelr enforcement by District-Attorney Jerome, “The laws are too severe in New York," sald a follower of Dady, "Bob was right to turn down the Jod.. Jerome is still in office and they can't monkey with him." Arrangements for bringing over the re- peaters are supposed to have been made two weeks ago.
