PRIMARY LAW HAS
OFFICIALS BY THE
EARS AGAIN
wording Seems To Indicate That
Nomination Of Candidates BY
Voters Petitions in Detroit and
Wayne County Is Illegal.
This Interpretation Would Seriously
Affect Plans of Local Democrats
Socialists Interested, Too.

There was furry Of excitement II
political circles Friday morning wheI
someone discovered provision in tn,
new primary law which APPARENT,
prohibits the filing of nominating peti
lions signed by electors In Detroit ant
Wayne county. The matter wa
brought to the attention of Count,
Clerk Farrell and City Clerk Nichols
who, In turn, consulted Prosecutor Var
zile and Coropartion Counsel Hally
respectively.
The prosecutor gave an opinion tina
under the law 1t is optional with thu
candidate whether he shall pay a fet
or file his petition by signature. Mr.
Hally Is still to be heard from.
The clause in question reads in par
as follows:
All of said nomination petitions
may be signed by enrolled voters
OF the particular political party
residing In any part OF ward
for ward office, In any part OF
city for general city office, or
any part Of county for a county
ONCE. or an part of district for
q district Office, or any part OF the
state for state office.
Provided, That In cities or coun-
ties of two hundred fifty thousand
population or more, IN lieu or the
above petition. apetition therefor.
signed by the candidate, which
shall state the name OF the candi'
date, his residence. street. house
number and the political party OF
which he Is member and the
once sought, SHALL be filed with.
the clerk OF the county or city
where said candidate resides. as
herein provided. Such candidate
shall. at the time. pay to the clerk
OF the city or county, rs the case
may be, a sum OF money equal to
one-half OF one per centum OF the
salary and fees OF the preceding
year Of such once, the amount
thereof as ascertained or estimat-
"a 6 nearly as may be by such
clerk, ana upon complying with
the above provisions such candi-
dates name shall be printed upon
the primary ballot, IL othrwise
qualified.
To the average lawman, the words
shall be filed" would seem to be man
datory, but this is not the case In tn'
prosecutors opinion. However. It al
fords another instance OF the vague
ness and uncertainty OF the primar!
law which has had the ofilxers by thu
ears ever since they began to look Int
II.
Should the law be held to NEAR
that petitions cannot be filed by sigma
lures in Detroit It would seriously In
terfere with the aspirations OF man!
candidates. II would nullify all TIT
Nominations that have been made b!
the Socialists for city and county OF
aces and would upset the plans o
Assessor John c. Nagel to have tn,
democrats nominate prominent citi
hens by voters petitions without con
shifting the candidates themselves.

Crime Laid at Door of One Who as
Boy Committed Brutal
Murder

st. Joseph, Mo, Nov. 21.-Hezekiah
Rascoe, who is in Jail at Marysville
suspected of the Hubbel family muir
der, is about 80 years old and was
sent to the penitentiary fourteen years
ago for numbering a farmers wife near
Arcoe after attempting to assault her.
He served ten years.
Rascoe went to the home of the
Baumleys, who lived near his fathers
farm, while the womans husband was
absent He was ordered out of the
house and went into the yard and
hurled a stone through the window
striking Mrs Baumley, who was car
rying a two-year- old baby, in the face.
She ran upstairs and barricaded the
door. Rascoe followed and battered in
the door. Then he picked up the
hearth of a stove and crushed the
woman's skull. The baby was unin-
jured.
The-~murder was committed early
one afternoon and suspicion pointed
so strongly to Rascoe that he was ar
rested at his home before night. For
safe keeping he was brought to the
st. Joseph Jail. Rascoe was tried in
Marysville and convicted of murder
in the second degree and sentenced to
serve ten years. He learned the shoe
makers trade in prison and has work
ed in St Joseph and Kansas City
factories since his release Returning
to Arcoe a year ago he has been liv-
ing with farmers near the old home.
Rascoe was brought to st. Joseph
this evening from Marysville for fear
of mob violence. He was secretly
taken from the Marysville Jail and
spirited to this city in an automo-
bile
Bloodhounds taken to the scene of
the quadruple murder followed the
trail to Rascoes home and entered

were found with bloodstains
