GEISMAR WAS WROTH WITH POLICEMAN CORR Says Election Law Violations Must Be Handled by State Officials WHO ARE PAID FOR THE WORK Police: Have No Business to Get Evidence-They Should Be Patroling.

magistrate to make the above statement, was one in which Policeman Maurice Corr appeared for a warrant for the arrest of a man, who, he says, gave a false residence in registering. It appears that Corr sought advice in the case yesterday and the magistrate informed him that he must get corroborative evidence, either from the inspector or the occupant of the house from which the suspect registered. Policeman Corr got the evidence and went to the court to-day for the warrant. When Magistrate Geismar saw Corr he waxed warm, and told him that he had not complied with his instructions. told you to go down the election bureau with your evidence.

I not issue a warrant until they take, supervision of the case. You not followed my instructions, and now I must 115C my clerks to call up the bureau. I at doing your work for you." The policeman said he did not understand the magistrate in the way he described. Several minutes later the court instructed the policeman that the bureau had repeated the instructions of yesterday--that the policeman must go downtown with the corroborative evidence. The policeman and his witness went.

Magistrate Geismar, in the Flatbush court to-day, raised a point which will doubtless receive the attention Mayor, the superintendent of elections and the commissioner of police. The magistrate holds that in matters of false registration, which require probing, it remains with the Bureau of Elections, and not police to investigate, and if arrest is necessary, the propel authority to place the evidence before the courts is the deputy attorney general, who must have corroborative evidence from either inspector or an occupant of the house from which the registration was made. "Not in any way has the police a right to interfere in this matter of elections, except to make arrests where instructed through their superiors, at the solicitation of the State Elections Board," he said from the bench to-day. "Regarding this investigation of alleged illegal registration, I question the right of the police to interfere. Mayor Gaynor, in matters of excise, held that the state has elaborate means of gathering evidence, and that it was no affair of the police to bother about the excise law.

He held that a policeman's duty was to patrol and preserve police. "This is a similar case. The state has been provided with ample means of doing this election work of investigating, and with a full force of men at hand it is doing the work. There is every reason to believe there will be many duplications in arrests, that of the police and of the inspectors attached to the Elections Bureau. "I hold that since the state has been provided with the funds for carrying on this labor, it is no affair of the police at all.

The police are paid to patrol and preserve the peace, and when they are performing the duties that special men are employed to do, they are exceeding their authority and are wasting their time. They should be out, protecting property, and doing the work for which they were appointed. "It is just this: When citizens go into a booth to register, they immediately place themselves under the eye of the Election Bureau. It is the privilege of that body to investigate you, and to see if you have registered legally. If a policeman were to undertake that labor it would mean many hours of investigation, all of which time would be taken from patrolling.

Now, if the state law affects the police in the matters pertaining to excise, it also affects them in matters pertaining to election laws. "This method obtained six or seven years ago, before the Elections Bureau was formed with so much power. But now the state has been given elaborate means to exercise authority in these instances, and a large sum of money has been appropriated for this department to carry on its work. An attorney general with numerous deputies drawing large salaries tales personal supervision over registration and voting. Deputies are sent to the various courts, and they are always available when needed.

I say, and I want it to be as forcible and emphatic as I can make it, that I oppose the use of police in these matters of investigating alleged illegal registration, and I demand that it be left to the proper authorities-the Elections Bureau." The particular case that caused the magistrate to make the above statement, CORPORATION CENSURED. Coroner's Jury Blames L. I. Railroad and New York and Queens for Two Fatalities. The New York and Queens County Railway Company and the Long Island Railroad Company were censured at inquests held by Coroners Schaefer and Ambler at Jamaica yesterday afternoon and in the evening.

The jury decided that in the death of Joseph McCarthy, a motorman, 40 years old, of 127 Main street, Flushing, who was operating a car of the New York and Queens County Railway Company, between Jamaica and Flushing on the night of June 13, the railway company had failed to provide proper lights at McConnell's switch, where the accident 00- curred. The jury also decided that MeCarthy's death was due, partly, to negligence on the part of Abraham Bishop, a motorman, who was acting as instructor to McCarthy, in that he allowed the car to make the switch at great speed.

Brooklyn, who. was struck by a westbound train at Lefferts and Atlantic avenues, Morris Park, on Cetober 6, was declared to have come LO her death through negligence on the part of the Long Island Railroad in not providing proper protection at the crossing.

Thursday, October 27, the grand jurors visited the Kings County buildings on Clarkson street. "The Home for the Aged, women's building, we found to be overcrowded with inmates. The rooms that are supposed to contain four beds, now have or a dozen beds in them, and the building has over 600 hundred inmates, with comfortable space for 300. The floors of this building are in very bad condition, and the ceilings of a number of rooms need repairing.

"The Home for the Aged, men's building, is also overcrowded-831 inmates and only room for 400. This building is also in need of new flooring. The kitchen should be enlarged; also the laundry. nervous ward we found accomodating twice the number of patients that it was intended to place there. There are now 150 people there, and seventyfive would comfortably fill the space.

The toilets are also very bad condition, of the Health Department, as the dinand should have the immediate a attention ing room connects with them. "There is a building that has been condemned by former Commissioner Tully and the State Charities Aid Association, also State Bureau of Charity, which at present has 300 inmates sleeping there every night. "In view of the foregoing facts, the jurors serving on Grand Jury of the County of Kings for the month of October, recommend the following: "That room be provided for the inmates of both homes for the aged at some farm colony, to relleve the congestion which prevails at present; that the buildings be provided with new floors; that metal ceilings be put up where ceilings need repairs; that the kitchen and laundry be enlarged; that the nervous ward toilets be attended to at. once; that the proper number of paid attendants be allowed for the number of patients now confined in the buildings; that an iron fence be erected around the Kirgs County buildings, in place of the hedge fence and part of an old board fence there at present, so as to prevent the smuggling of materials from the inmates to putsiders; that the buildings now occupied by over three hundred inmates as sleeping quarters be closed, and suitable quarters be found for them. "We then visited the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School for Boys, and found the same in very good condition, the boys well trained and everything in the building neat and clean." The Grand Jury recommended that Superintendent Wolfe have one or two teachers assigned to him, to assist him in the good work of taking care of over 200 boys.

At present there is only one teacher, the superintendent and his wife both assisting. AGED MAN HURT. Dr. C. B.
