CUMMINS PROPOSES
 NATIONAL PRIMARY

Des Moines, Ia., August 24.-Assert- ing as a reason the fact that the nom nations for president and vice pres ident may be and actually have been determined by the vote of delegates from states which cast practically no vote for the party ticket and never elected the party electoral ticket, Sem ator Albert B. Cummins today declared his intention of introducing in the Sen ate bill providing for the enactment of a>nation- wide primary law.
 Senator Cummins points to the diff ficulty of making any change in the method of procedure in national con- ventions relative to the basis of the representation and declares that if Con- gress does not act within a reasonable time upon his national primary bill he will propose a law regulating national party conventions, making the basis of representation the party vote instead of population.
 At the recent republican state con- vention a plank was adopted in favor of national primary law and the re- publicans of the state are committed to 1t.

He had a supreme contempt for the artificial life at Vienna, and to abandon the larger part of his for tune would be nothing to him.
 "I see him still" she is made to say. He was rather small of stature, with determined mouth, and an eye of con- tempt, with which he scrutinized men and things. I see him again as he used to lunch sometimes with me, sometimes with my sister Stephanie. He often de- bated the future of Austria with Rudolf, criticized the spirit of routine in the army and indulged in satiric sallies which used to amuse Rudolph. who most ly agreed with him. Sometimes he used to sit down at the piano and play com positions of his own, full of charming melancholy.
 His last luncheon with us was at the Castle of Luxemburg. We were five-my sister and the ArchdulSe Rudolf. my bus band and myself He had already been de- prived of command in the army, but re- tained his military rank. He would have no grace and spoke of his desire to create a new life for himself He would travel and commune by himself in solitude. After playing at the piano he got up; myself. together with my sister Stephanie, he said:
 "'Who knows If ever we shall see each other again Rudolf protested at this idea but YSalvator shook his head. We have never since seen each other.'

POLICY OF SPAIN
 WILL NOT CHANGE

San Sebastian, August 24.-At a cabinet council held today which was presided over by King Alfonso who has just returned from abroad, Premier Canalejas read telegram from Marquis de Con- zales,> counsellor of the Spanish embassy at the vatican, announcing the receipt from Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state, of a long note answer ing a number of points raised in the last Spanish note and explaining at length the vatican's grievances against the Spanish ministry.
 Premier Canalejas said that althuogh he did not know the exact tenor of the note 1t would in no way affect his pol icy. 'Whatever reasons are put forth by the vatican," he added, the government will not change the attitude it has main tained since the beginning of the con- iict, which attitude always has been cor rect"
 The premier concluded by saying that the text of the note was too important to risk causing errors in 1t by telegraph ing and that therefore 1t was expected in Spain at the end Of the week.

Untold happiness was given thousands of poor sufferers in London hospitals by the kindness and sympathy shown them on Christmas day by the King and Queen of England. The day that the Electro-Radio experts sent sunshine in many homes in America by curing them of chronic disease by the new F'insen rays, one of the worlds greatest discov- cries.

 People of Birmingham and surrounding towns can obtain a treatment with this new Finsen apparatus right at home.

BROWNE CASE
 GOING SLOWLY

Chicago, August 24-Judge Kersten, in the criminal court, lifted more bars in the second trial of Lee O'Neil Browne here today, when he ruled that Represen- tative H. J. c. Beckmeyer of Carlyle might answer questions about the legis- lative jack pot in 1909. Judge Kersten overruled the objections of the defense to the testimony of both Beckmeyer and Representative Michael s. Link.
 Beckmeyer declared Brown had paid him 5000 in the Southern hotel, St. Louis, June 21, 1909, saying: There will be more in a few weeks" Subsequently, Beck meyer says. he was told to visit St. Louis and this time declared he met Repre- sentative Robert E. Wilson and received 800 jack pot money from him. Wilson is now under indictment for perjury Subpoena servers are looking for him, but have failed to find him.
 Through Beckmeyer the prosecution was able to introduce a register of the South ern hotel, bearing the signature of L. O.

Considerable uneasiness Is reported at Seoul on account of the circulation of threats of disorder following the annexa- tion These emanate. according to the view taken here. from malcontents who have not received the consideration which they think due them in the provision of the convention in the future of the Corea royal family, nobles, and officials. Sporadic outbreaks in protest against the absorption of Corea by Japan are anticipated, but serious rioting or even widespread objection from the Coreans to the annexation are not expected.
