the validity of that enactment will be con-

every precinct in the city. This would
mean much labor and expense.
Another powerful reason for wishing
the primary law declared invalid was the
apprehension that the bosses would cap
ture the primaries of the Non-Partisans,
elect delegates who would do the bidding
of the SpOilSmen, and thus strike at the
very VitalS of the object of the Non-Par-
tisans-the selection of independent can
didates.
After a discussion which extended over
more than two hours the chairman was
instructed to appoint a committee of five

is authorized o consult with attorneys
qualified to pass upon the merits of the
question involved. When this committee
is ready TO report. the chairman of the
county committee will be notified and he
will then call another meeting of the full
matter.
1t has been current rumOr for some
time past that the NOn-PartisanS had in
contemplation a reorganization on a
broader basis than that which existed

ported that the most prominent members

Chief of Police Lees During an
Interesting Discussion.

Rev John A. b. Wilson read an interesting
manor before the Presbyterian Ministerial
Union Yesterday on The Civic Duty of
the Pulpit" His clear and convincing
argument on why the pulpit should take
cognizanCe of important questions on local
e,oI,ernrnent made a profound impression
on those present. The doctor spoke of
the evils rampant in the city and of the
small effort being made to control them
He dwelt on the influence large cor
porattons have shown in governmental af-
fairs and on other important queStonS.
Tho paper provoked an animated discus
sion. proionging the session half an hour
beyond the usual time.
Rev. James Woodwork alluding to the
criticism of the press contained in the
paper said:
While I am dsgusted with the press at

DR.. Wilson in closing the discussion
said the blame for the infamous condl-
ton of things existing in Chinatown was
due to the attitude of the police. Yet,
said he the trouble is not with the force
itself, but with its head. The police force
can stop this slave trade and close up

would do it If they were told to. But,
