ELECTION VIOLENCE.
For three and a Jialf years tho elections
hela In Philadelphia have been conducted
In an orderly manner, without vlolenco
at the polls or disturbances or Intimida
tion of any kind. Persons who have had
experience In political matters, and who
Jn the past have been familiar with the
conduct of elections, have been amazed
at the sudden chango from crime, fraud
and dlsoidcr nt tho polling places to tho
present peaceful and law-abiding condi
tion at the polls.
Less careful observers aro In danger of
accepting today's orderly methods as a
matter of course, and forgetting how
vicious Were the methods of the con
tractors' organization when they were In
control. A brief review will recall to
these citizens how nearly those old meth
ods brought the city to n condition of
anarchy
The North American of November K.
1901, contains, under the headline "100
Independents Victims of Gang Election
Thuggery." n statement as to Injuries re
pined to have been sustained by Inde
pendent workers and watchers on tho day.
of the November election, 1509.
Here there appear reports of the cases

THE McCONNELL CASE.

BLACKJACK VSED.
"At the November elections of J009
three young men watchers for the Phila
delphia Party-nidenour. Acker and Kelly
-were doing duty at the polling places
In the llth Division of thv0ih Ward.
They had Information of the activities of
H notorious band of repeaters, and when
the leader arrived he wa challenged.
He struck Kelly with a blaokjack, and
Immediately the band of thugs, of which
McConnell, an employe of the city, was
tho leader, fell upon the three reform
workers and made a murderous assault
upon them with blackjacks and other
weapon appropriate to criminals and as
sassin "Itldenour was knocked to hi knee by

outrageous case, as this one Is, It some
times happen that the victims are per
tinacious and the evidence Irrefutable
and then the Jury refutes to convict "
Tho prosecution wa handled by the
Committee of Seventy.
Another method ued under former ad
ministrations to throttle Independent po
lltleal movement was tho kidnapping of
watcher and sending them to "Siberia"
to some unknown and Inaccessible place
where they could not be found by their
friend to be released In time for work I
at the polls in preventing fraud The
l.ymh rase, arising In the 2d division
of the "th Ward will erve as an Illus
tration. John P. Lynch, lieutenant of police ,
John D. flwerney, sergeant of police,
Chillies Chobert, sergeant of police
Frank Shields, patrolman; nichard Do
busey. colored division leader, and
Thomns J Duffey, messenger Select
Council nnd Itepubllcan division leader,
woie arrested and charged by the Com
mittee of Seventy with conspiracy to
mako falso arrests of certain colored
men who were Independent party work
ers In the 2d division of the "th Ward,
to keep them from polling places dur
ing the tlmo of election, and to pre
vent a free election by causing the ar
rests of legally qualified voters and
watchers nnd Intimidating voters and
watchers.
This was n typical csso of Intimidation
and nncalled-for abuse of police power
In the Interest of n corrupt political or
ganization The evidence shows that i
three colored men, who had been active I
and Independent party workers, were nr-
rested without cause or need before eloc- i
tlon, that they were taken to a station
houso far from tho section of the city In
which they lived, that their presence In
this house was concealed from nil In
quirers, and that It was not known by
their friends wherp they were until so
late on election day that It was Impossible
for them to perform any work at the
polls.
After considerable delay, tho case was
brought to trial on December 8, 1910, In
Courtroom No. 653, before Judge Wilson.
Lieutenant Lynch. Sergeant Chobert, Pcr
gennt Sweeney, Thomas J. Duffey nn1
nichard Debussey wera convicted. Patrol
man Shields was found not guilty.
DUFFEY KEEPS JOB.
An appeal was taken for a new trial,
nnd on Juno 2, 1911, tho appeal for a .now
trial was refused and tho five defendants
wcro sentenced, by Jugo Wilson, to
servo one yenr In tho County Prison. An
appeal was then taken to Superior Court,
where a new trial was granted. On May
28, 1913, the case was called In room No.
653, before Judge Little. Lieutenant
Lynch, Sergeant Chobert and Thomas J.
Duffey pleaded "nolle contendere" and
were fined J500 each and costs.
It was understood that Duffey was to
resign his position as messenger In Select
Council and remove from tho 2d Division
of tho "th Ward. Duffey still holds his
position as messenger nnd Is at this time
the llepubllcan division lender or the 7th
Ward. 2d Division. The bills against
Sweeney and Debussey were submitted.
Tho prosecution was handled by tho
Committee of Seventy.
During the pendency of tho foregoing
ensr- of Lieutenant Lynch, efforts weie
made by one David It. Trultt to briho
tho prosecuting wltncES to leave the Juris
diction. Trultt was convicted of at
tempted bribery on January 23, 1911, be
fore Judse Staples, m Uoqm 676, City
Hall, and on March 8, 1911, was sentenced
to six months In tho County Prison.
insieaa oi using violent methods, or
nricriiiiK ana sending independent watch
ers to "Siberia," the same general re
sults may be attained by permitting the,
casting of Illegal votes. Prior to the elec
tion of 1910 the name of Spencer Hogan
was stricken from the registration list
In the 42d Division of tho 19th Wnrd. On
election day Hogan, nevertheless, was
permitted to vote by the election officers.
On June 8. 1911, Hogan pleaded guilty and
sentence wns suspended by Judgo AVIlt
bank. In November, 1911, Edward Green
halgh, then Deputy Sheriff nnd Republi
can division leader, and Thomas Connors,
Republican election Judge, were con
victed before Judge Audenrled of abetting
the casting of an Illegal vote.
On November 27, 1911. a motion for a
new trial was refused by Judge Auden
rled, In Room No. B76, and Greenhalgh nnd
Connor weio sentenced to three months
In tho county prison. For this offenac
Greenhalgh was discharged from his posl.
tlon ns Deputy BherlfT by Sherlft Gll
fllllan. After serving two months In
prison Grenehalgh was pardoned by Gov
ernor Tener and was made Deputy Cor
oner by Coroner Knight, which position
hu still holds.
LIQUOR CUT OFF.
In tho old days when It wns customary
for election day to be a day of disorder
and violence, ono big factor used to
bring about this condition wns the free
distribution of liquor In and about polling
places. One method of paying for votes
was to furnish a drink to tho voter. An
other effect or the liquor was to encour
age disorder and vlolenco.
The workers of the Organization by
liquor were made morcwllllng to perform
acts of lawlessness. By furnishing liquor
to tho opponent of the Organization tho
unci ncm Bomeiimes encouraged to
drink to excess so that they could no
longer effectively protest against a dis
regard of the election laws.
In the spvclal report of Director Morris
L, Cooke, published In 1915, in a pamphlet
entitled "IJuslness Methods in Municipal
Works," a typical case Is mentioned,
where "ono holding a high position in
the Wa.er Bureau was discharged" by
the present Administration "because ho
could not see the Impropriety of housing
beer and whisky in his alttlng room on
election day for the Use of political or
ganizations." The present Administration has put a
complete end to this long-continued prac
tice of mixing liquors and elections. Tho
speakeoses within and In the neighbor
hood of polling places have been abso
lutely suppressed by a rigid enforcement
of the law by the Department of Public
Safety.

8-CENT FARES SCORED
BY TAYLOR IN REPORT
ON TRANSIT SITUATION
Annual Booklet Contains Series
of 72 Maps Showing Injus
tice of Present Discrimi
natory System
FAVORS LOOP AND TUBE
The annual report of tho Department of
City Transit for tho year 1911 has Just
been Issued In book form by Transit 1)1-
rector A. Mcrrltt Tnjlor The report,
which Is tho most elabornto prepared by
Director Taylor Blnce his original recom-
mendnttons wcro Hubmltted In July, 1913,
reviews every phase of tho proposed rapid
transit facilities In Philadelphia and denls
with each Independently. Two thousand
copies of tho book have been printed.
The report particularly ncorcs tho dis
ci Imlnntory 8-ccnt exchange tickets. Ily
a scries of 72 maps tho Injustice of the
present system and the need of unlvcraal
frco transfers from all sections of the
city aro net forth Reports of various
Investigations of this question carried on
by tho Department of Transit the lost
year are given In detail.
In a scries of colored maps the rango
of travel throughout the city for tho
various rntes of fare Is shown for each
traffic section or group of sections. Thcso
maps, enlarged, vvero used by Director
Taylor and his department experts In
their clty-wldo cnmpalgn to nwaken pub
lic sentiment in favor of the ttanslt plan.
LOOP AND TUBK NEEDED.
Bo Ih tho subway delivery loop and the
DcluWare tube nre favored In, tho report.
The loop. Director Taylor holds, will bo
necessary to the commercial success of
the Uroad street subwny, because tho
north and south lines will collect traffic
from 1!7 stations outside of the business
district. Without tho loop virtually all
of this tralllc would have to bo handled
at two stations.
In discussing the tunnel under the Dela
ware niver, the report says:
"In any arrangement made by the city
with a prlvnto corporation for operating
the city-built tnpid transit lines It should
b required that such corporation secure
the construction of nnd the equipment of
a tube under the Delaware ltlver to Cam
den, connecting with cither or both tho
CNlutlng Market street subway and the
letcmmended Chestnut street subway."
Copies of the leport will be distributed
to the ofllclals of Philadelphia, members
of Councils, universities, colleges and
technical Institutions, engineering socie
ties nnd others Interested In the solution
of the problems of efficient nnd economi
cal rapid transit in largo cities. The
great cxpeno of publishing the report has
limited tho number Issued.
TAYLOR'S LETTER TO MATOR.

tions of transit problems.
Ho goes nt considerable length Into the
legislative nnd legal features of transit
work. All the aspects of the transit
plans, constructive, legal and ftnanclnl,
aro explained In mlnuto detail. The re
port contains exhaustive; tables giving
the expense of the proposed undertakings
nnd the estimated returns to the city ond

THE BIG THREE IN GOLF
ECLIPSED AT DETROIT
BY WESTERN MARVEL
Dudley Mudjre, Titleholder of
Minnesota, Startles Followers
of ChnmpionshipB by Low
Card in "Prelims"
OUIMET IN GOOD FORM
By GRANTLAND RICE ,
DETROIT, Aug. 31. His name wa
SIudge-Dudlcy Mudge. to be exact, from
St. Paul, Minn. He went to laie a
ago nnd they let him catch on the base
ball team, but they couldn't see him a a
golfer, Kntered In the amateur cham
pionships from tho Town and Country
Club, of St. Paul, there wa no palpitating
thrills ns to what hi score would be or
whether he would quality. Few probably
recalled the fact thnt on last Saturday
Mudge had qualified among the first 73.
Thoy were nil thinking of Travers, Oul
met, Evans, GUdford, Sawyer, Marston,
etc.
But on Monday, over b course 6600 yards
long, under tho severest weather test ever
known In n golf championship, the young
entry who paraded Imtfront of n grent
field was none other than Dudley Mudge,
ot St. Paul. He not only led the Held,
but ho led with two clean strokes to
Bpnro two strokes In front of Robert
Gardner. Ho was three strokes better
than Frnncls Oulmet, and 10 strokes
better than Jerry Travers and Chick
Kvnii. And nil this same after a bad
start thnt lnndcd young Mudgo out with
Jl strokes. Ho wns bock In 33 for ft 79,
but there wns still no one who figured him
with a chance.
At tho 10th hole In the afternoon the
gray winter vvlndt that swept the course
bi ought In word that Dudley Mudgo had
gono out In 38. Even then ortly a small
gallery swung over In hlB direction, ns It
wttB known that Gardner, Oulmet nnd
Sawyer wore going well nnd they were
veterans. But tho main crowd overlooked
one Important derail.
They didn't know that Mudge, being
n, first cousin of John and Archie Held,
belonged to a golfing fnmlly. They
didn't know that only two weeks ago he
had won tho medal round nnd then the
Minnesota championship.
Going out In 36 In the nftcrnoon.
knowing thnt ho had a chance to land
the low medal nnd attnln sudden fame,
joutiff Mudgc never faltered. He start
ed home with n stilng ot fours, playing
spectacular golf under such conditions,
nnd nothing could stop him.
He bagged a 4 on tho 630-yard llth and
another on the treacherous 12th. On the
13th he cracked his second shot within
two feet of tho cup nnd missed the putt.
On the llth ho hit the cup for a 3 and
Jumped out. But even this hard luck
failed to upset him In tho slightest. He
went along nt the business of grabbing
ts, driving far and straight and playing
his Irons in the sure, crisp way of those
who go for the pin nnd get there. At the'
end of tho 18th hole he understood that
he needed a 2 to win the medal round nnd,
Instead of playing safe, took a chance
nnd dropped short. But he got his 4,
nnd even a S would have been enough. In
leading this field young Mudge gave evi
dence ot two qualifications good, sound
golf nnd good, sound nerve.
Here is his double card:
Out ... 4 5 6 6 3 5 4
4-41
3-33-79
In A 6 4 4
Afternoon round:
Out ... 4 3 5 4
In 4 4 4 4
Total. 152.
4 4
4-36
4-37-73
Of the big three, so labeled, Francis
Oulmet only was near top form. The
nmateur champion proved beyond any
doubt that ho was reaching his best
gama by finishing up In third place with
a 77 and 78. He slipped hero and there,
but In the main his golf Is sound In all
departments.
Travers nnd Evans were not at their
best. Jerry, still weak from a severe cold
and nevtjr at top form In cold weather,
was struggling hard most of the way. He
had an 82 In the morning, and then
needed an 80 in the afternoon. His work
with the wood was not near the standard
he has set for himself this season, but
this was due In the main to his physical
condition and the weather. The day, In
the forenoon especially, was an Ideal
December type, one of tho kind you could
use for Christmas eve, threatening a
white Christmas for tomorrow. Under a
dark gray cloud a biting wind snapped
and whistled nnd raised merry caln. The
wind not only blow golf ball here and
there If sliced or hooked In tho slightest,
but also atlffened up tho muscles of those
contending, nut at the finish all of those
favored for a chanco had qualified, so
there could be no kick.
