U. S. PREPARED TO NAB
PENNSYLVANIANS WHO
BREAK ELECTION LAW
Government to Push Cases
Against Violators for First
Time in History
of State
ORDER FROM WASHINGTON
The United States Government Is ready to
prosecute any oter, election ofilcer, polit
ical lieutenant or political leader violating
tho election laws In Pennsylvania tomorrow.
' For the first time In the history ot the
State, Federal oversight over the election Is
nssured, based on tho precedent established
by Judge Anderson, at Indianapolis, who sent
28 ballot-box BtuKers, oto buyers and po
licemen ot Terro Haute to Fort Leaven
worth PrlBon for terms varying from six
months to three years.
Tomorrow a United States Senator and
Congressmen wijl be nominated by popular
vote. Heretofore all election frauds have
been prosecuted In State courts. The vio
lator of election laws after tomorrow will
face a sterner tribunal, the United States
courts. A high official of the Government
announced today that word had been re
ceived from Washington to keep a close eye
on the election Jn Pennsylvania, and should
fraud be perpetrated an answer must be
made to the Government.
Francis Fisher Kane, United States Dis
trict Attqrney for Eastern Pennsylvania,
when Interrogated regarding the report, re
fused to discuss the election. When asked
If prosecutions would be made should evi
dence0 be obtained he replied, "I am at
liberty to say that a full and sympathetic
hearing will be given."
Bringing election violators to the bar ot
Federal courts and obtaining their convic
tion was Inaugurated by a band of civic
fighters In Terre Haute, Ind., where gross
election frauds were prepetrated for years.
A corrupt organization, backed by the
whisky ring, for years controlled the Ten
derloin of that city, bought votes, coerced
-otera and by all manner of corruption
maintained Its power.
The county and State courts were con
trolled by the organization. Judge Ander
son, of the Federal district of Indiana, was
petitioned to hear the case In January,
1914, After one of the biggest legal bat
tles In the Middle West, he claimed Juris
diction. Following a lengthy trial the
Mayor, Chief of Police, a half dozen ward
leaders and officeholders were convicted and
sentenced last year. They are at Fort
Leavenworth today.
It was made clear today that the Govern
ment can only take action when a definite,
conspiracy is shown In the election of a
Senator or member of the House. No pros
ecution can be brought against those who
perpetrate fraud for State, county or city
officials.
The prosecutions In Terre Haute were
brought under Sections 19 and 37 of the
Penal Code. Evidence was presented show,
Ing that! ttie organization leaders had "con
spired" to defeat one candidate and foist a,
certain candidate on the Government this
was construed by the court to be a fraud
committed against the United States.
BASEMENT PLAN PflOWN
AS HIS TRIAL BEGINS
Continued from fate On
then shifted bis Intent gaze back to the
face ot Sir Frederick or to the spectators.
When not engaged In making notes he
traced roses on bis pad.
Sir Roger seemed to, enjoy the Intense
public Interest Which his trial created. This
interest as "heightened In the, British Isles,
and extended beyond them to the uprising
in Ireland and the execution of the Sinn
Fein, leaders. '
As the trial jirtKMded a roport became
current tbiit Casement had wade u. locg
statement to the Authorities which might
shorten tho proceedings.
While Sir Roger was by far tho chief
centre of Interest, the crowd showed con
siderable curiosity toward hlu codefendant
Bailey, who was said to hae made the
Journey from Germany to Ireland in a sub
marine. The first witness for the Crown was
Police Inspector Pajkcr Parker testified
that when Casement was first arrested he
made no attempt to sae himself, but In
sisted that Bailey was innocent.
"Sir Roger CaBement drew a pension
from the Government until September 30.
1914, when It was withdrawn." said the At
torney General. ''The defendant was then
In Germans'. The part he was destined to
play was that of a man who was willing
and hoped to bo able to seduce from nl
leglance to the King the Irish prisoners nt
Llmborg camp, whom he advised and lec
tured. The evidence shows that In Jan
uary and February of 1915 Casement re
peatedly nddressed the prisoners."
BAILUV'S STATEMENT.
The Attorney General read a statement
from Bailey, who declared he hnd Joined
a brigade to see if It was possible to get
out of Germany. After visiting the Ger
man War Office Bailey was told to be ready
to travel He was taken nboard the sub
marine U-19, which set out from German
waters.
"Upon sighting Tralee, Ireland, I was
told that the visit was In connection with
the Irish Volunteer movement," said Bail
ey's statement. "As the submarine neared
the coast Sir Roger Casement and myself
were transferred to a collapsible boat,
which overturned In the surf. I waded
ashore and then went back to fetch arms.
Sir Roger Casement and myself then
reached Tralee, where my companion went
to a newspaper office and asked tt the com
manding ofilcer had arrived. He was told
no.'
"I was born In Dublin and was a mem
ber of the original expeditionary force In
France, being captured by the Germans in
September, 1914."
In detailing further the scope of Sir
Roger's activities the Attorney General
said:
"Casement's conduct required a great deal
to Justify it. At the Llmburg camp Case
ment introduced himself as organizer of tho
Irish volunteers. He stated he was form
ing an Irish brigade and Invited Irish
prisoners of war to Join. Casement empha
sized In his advices that everything was to
be gained for Ireland by Germany's win
ning the war. All Joining the Irish bri
gade, Casement said, would be sent to Ber
lin to be the guests ot the German govern
ment." Sir Frederick said that the Irish prison
ers treated the overtures of Blr Roger very
contemptuously. The Irish knight was
hissed and booed out of camp, the Muneter
fuslleera being particularly resentful. a
"It Is reported that Casement was' only
saved from violence by the Intervention of
the Prussian guards,", said the Attorney
General.-
Sir Roger smiled as he glanced at Bailey.
Sir Frederick, cpntlnued.
"The Irish prisoners who refused the
proposals had their rations reduced. The
few who accepted were given certain priv
ileges and provided with green uniforms.
Bailey was one of these."
The Attorney General hereupon unfolded
and held up. tf) view a flag which had been
found n the collapsible boat In which Case
ment and Bailey made their Way to shore
on the Irish, coast, together with maps and
a flashlight. It was green, with a yellow
centre, and bore an inscription.
Sir Frederick went on; "Casement was
found by th'e police concealed In McKInna's
fort When cliallenged he gave the name
of Richard Morton, of Denham, Buchshlre,
and said he was an author. After being
taken to the Ardford barracks he dropped
a paper containing a. code. He .-was then,
charged w!h landing arms and ammunition
and taken to London, where he disclosed his
Identity. Divers discovered Russian rifles
ot the- pattern of J905 "
The first witness was Corporal John
Robinson., of the Royal Army Medical
Corps, who. detailed Casement's endeavors
to form aa Irish brigade at Uraburg camp
In Germany,
"Casement declared that "he believed Ger
many was nng to win the war. and, tn

CERTAIN AS FIGHT
FOR PEOPLE ENDS
So Say Mayor and Taylor,
Who Predict Success .
for Loahs
OBSTRUCTIONISTS BEATEN
Attacks Will Be Overwhelmed by
Loynl 'Citizens, Backers
' of Measures Assert
Triumphant victory for the ,67,100,000
transit and port Idan bill nt the polls to
morrow was , predicted today by former
Transit Director A. Merrltt Tnylos and
Mayor Smith. Both declared that thft ob
structionists who have been launching
anonymous attacks against the loan will
be overwhelmed by the loyal cltlsenry qt
Philadelphia.
The ex-Director nt the same time warned
the voters to demand the special loan bal
lot when tlloy entered the polls, An anony
mous circular which was scattered broad
cast over the city today nltncklng the loan
he scored ns the work of "sordid Interests,
too" cowardly to lend tholr names to their
falso statements " .
Tho Mayor nlso predicted the passage of
the general loan bill for municipal Im
provements. Advertisements Inserted in nil tho news
papers today by tho "All-Phlladelphln on
to Hnrrlsburg" Committee cnll for every
registered voter In the city to support the
loan bill In the Interests of a greater Phil
adelphia. K. J. Lnfferty, chairman of the All-Phlln-delphla
Committee, after a careful canvass
of the city by members of tho committee,
nssured Mayor Smith today that both the
$67,100,000 transit nnd port loan bill nnd
the general Improvement loan bill would
pass tomorrow by majorities of from 00,000
to 18,000.
SMITH SCES SUCCESS
"Two weeks ngo I was somewhat wor
ried about the transit and port and general
loan bills, but now I nm Blire of their pas
sage," said the Mayor. "I feel confident
that both bills will pass by large majori
ties, The opposition to the bills wns purely
political, nnd this opposition Is by no means
strong enough to endanger; loans .upon
which tho future growth1 of tho cltv de
pends. Many of those who Btnrted out to
oppose tho loans have now turned In for
them, and the opposition has vvcaKened to
a point where It Is no longer dangerous.
I bpllore the vast majority of the thinking
voters of the city will support both loans
and that their success Is certain."
With tho last hour of tho fight nt hand
the futuro of rapid transit development
In Philadelphia rests with the voters at tho
polls tomorrow. Tho passage of the transit
nnd port lonn'wlll Insure a high-speed sys
tem benefiting all sections and every resi
dent of tho city; the defeat of the loan bill
will leave Philadelphia a decade behind
other oltleS In transit facilities.
Provision for the city's general progress
llkewlso depends upon tho passage of the
$47,225,000 loan bill. Upon tho passage of
ths loan depends the completion of tho
Parkway, the building of .Convention Hall,
tho Art Museum, tho Improvement of the
Philadelphia General Hospital, the elimina
tion of grade crossings and other Improve
ments vital to Philadelphia's progress and
prestige.
Last-minute porsonal appeals for ,the
passage of the loan and for real rapid tran
sit are being made throughout tho blty
by the leaders In the long light.
DUTY OF VOTERS.
The 30,000 non-partisan voters who can
not vote for tho nominees tomorrow have a
special duty. It1 Is declared. These voters
must go to the polls and there cast n vote
for both loan's. They havo the right to vote
upon tho loan question, nnd It Is their
duty to Join with other men in approving
the bills which will make possible Phila
delphia's advancement. i
Republican voters are pledged to the sup
port of both loan bills by their party's plat
form. Adopting the personal platform sof
Mayor Smith in tfie last campaign, the Re
publican City Committee put Itself on rec
ord as favoring every Improvement pro
vided for in the two loans to go before tho
people tomorrow.
Each voter who counts himself a true
Phlladelphlan must make sure that he re
ceives a loan ballot tomorrow, nnd must
mark It "Yes" for both loans, If tho
loans fall, this city's opportunity will be
lost.
