HOLD NIGHTLY CAUCUSES
REPUBLICANS CAN'T AGREE ON
POSTAL SAVINGS BILL.
Method Of Handling Depositors'
Money the Stumbling Block.
Meet Again Tonight.

The second installment of the continu-
Gus performance republican caucus on the
postal savings bank bill was held in the
chamber Of the House Of Representatives
from until IL last evening. Installment
number 3 will be held tonight.
Section Q, as expected, proved the STUN
bling block to rapid progress on the meas
ure. 1t is this section of the bill intro
duced by Representative Gardner of New
Jersey, after it had been tentatively
agreed upon by the House committee on
post offices and post roads, that deals
with postal savings deposits. 1t provides
that An per cent of the deposits may be
withdrawn by the board of trustees and
invested in securities and that per cent
ing 471a per cent must remain on deposit
in the local banks in the place where the
deposits were received.
The object of q dozen or more amend
ments offered last night to this section
proposed to increase the amount Of depos-
It's which might remain in the local in
situations under the law Most of the
debate on this proposition had to do with
an amendment offered by Representative
Vreeland of New York, increasing this
proportion to 721a per cent.
Approval was expressed by the caucus
OF the provision in the Gardner bill fix
ing the rate of interest to be paid to de-
posters at per cent, and permitting the
withdrawal of deposits under regulations
OF the board of trustees.
An unsuccessful attempt was made by
some members to increase the amount
which may be deposited by any single de-
positor.
There was poor attendance at the
caucus, less than 100 members being pres-
ent.

no nominating convention, no long drawn

Ln1S Year.
1t remains for the republican leaders
to say whether their state central COM
mittee shall reassemble and provide for
primaries, in accordance with Mr.. Straus'
opinion. The view was expressed yester-
day that in cases in which candidates
have no opposition there is no need of
primaries. and that the only duty of the
unopposed candidate is to file the neces-
sary papers with the secretary.
In the case of Mr.. Thomas Parran,
who was nominated Wednesday by the
convention plan by the fifth district re-
publicans, it was said that the method
of his nomination is valid unless some
other candidate appears and submits his
candidacy to the voters direct.

make some arrangement by which he

Of the litigation.
Denies There was Collision.
The father declares that neither his
brother nor Mrs. Shepard, who accom-
panied him. had previous knowledge OF
any intention on his part to take4he child
before he came out Of the house with tho
boy.
He explains to the court that when the
child rushed toward him in the hallway
he was seized with an uncomfortable
Impulse to have his baby with him for a
time. Even then, he says, he had not
any intention of secreting 1t or removing
1t from the city.
Several afi1davits of witnesses Of the
call OF the father and brother at the
Goldsmith house were read to the court.
These afiidafits declare that at no time
did the uncle, Frank Valentine, have
possession of the boy.
Counter affidavits were offered by United

STRAUS VIEW ACCEPTED
MARYLAND DEMOCRATS WILL
NOMINATE BY PRIMARY.
Central Committee Decides It Has
No Power to Contest the
Decision.

BALTIMORE, May 27.-The democratic
state central committee at its meeting
yesterday at the Eutaw House accepted
Attorney General Straus' construction of
the Lee primary election law This
| means that candidates for Congress must
submit to the direct method of nomina-
tions unless the courts, on test cases by
the interested candidates, place a differ
ent Interpretation upon the law and de-
eide that the old delegate convention plan
is not abolished by the new law, this
being the view entertained by Senator
Lee, it's author, and others who sup
ported it,
The state committee had no other course
open to it than the acceptance of the at
torney generals view, since his opinion
has the full force of law until reversed
by the courts. The committee on resou-
lions debated all phases of the contro-
versy for nearly an hour, but could find
no loophole to avoid the Straus view.
Senator Lee, who framed the law, and the
attorney general appeared before the COM
mittee and argued their respective sides
Of the case.
Resort to the Courts.
They agreed that it was not within
the province of the committee to ignore
Mr.. Straus' opinion, since such course
would create chaos. They agreed, how
ever. that if any candidate, who was
opposed in the primary. felt that the
law does not demand a direct primary,
he can resort to the courts. Mr. Stratus
said he would do all within his power
to expedite the case. if there is an ap-
peal, before the courts in order that an
early decision may be reached
1t was generally agreed among demo-
Gratis at the meeting that no candidate
of their party would apply to the courts
to overthrow the opinion of the attor-
ney general
Not a voice of protest was raised
against the arrangements for the pri-
maries as planned by the committee. in
accordance with the attorney generals
ruling. 1t was said that Senator Cor
man had intended to take issue with
Mr.. Straus position but he was unable
to be present because of the serious
illness OF his mother.
One effect of the attorney generals
ruling, il it is permitted to stand. is
that in the future all candidates for the
cure their nominations at direct pri-
maries.
Would Make Law Uniform.
Another effect is voters in Howard.
Somerset, Washington, Wicomico and
Worcester counties must decide at the
primaries this year. instead of at the
primaries next year. whether they will
adopt the direct system Of voting or
whether they will adhere to the present
deleSate-convention plan. If they adopt
the new idea the primary election law
will be uniform throughout the state next
year.
Still another effect is that there will be
