LAF0lLETTE PHYS WHIP TO NATIONAL
 COMMITTEE
Charges Heads of Republican Party With Insulting the Great States Which Have Passed Direct Primary Laws
Rule Adopted to Govern Dele ga:es to Next National Con- venti0n Prac icaIly Annu'S the Laws of South Dakota and California
Special from United Press.> )

Toledo, Dec. 2SLSenator LaFollette left Toledo. early today. for North Baltimore, where he kept speaking engagement at noon. He rode on a trolley car. Among other things he said:
 The very backbone of true repre- sentative government is the direct participation in the affairs of govern ment by the people through direct pri- maries for the nomination of candf- dates.
 The National Republican committee is almost wholly composed of men op, posed to the primary principle. At it's recent meeting in Washington this committee went on record, not only as opposing voluntary primary elec- tions in States where there is no law providing for them. but by failing to directly recognize the law in those States that have provided for the cleo tio1 of delegates to tre national convention in primary elections.
 A fragrant afront to. the people Of States that have enacted primary election laws governing the election Of delegates to the national convention, was the neglect or refusal of the com n1ittee to recognize the primary cleo ton law of South Dakota, which pro- yideS for the election of the entire list of delegates from that State in a Statewide primary. The committee nulAfied the law, so far as it could do so, by providing that delegates should be elected according to the dual system of delegates at large. and two from each Congressional district Here is the provision in the call that disfranchises South Dakota, and that also will disfranchise California, which has recently passed a primary law similar to that of South Dakota:
 Provided further, that in no States shall an election be so held as to prevent the delegates from any Con- gressional district and their alter mates being selected by the Republi- can voters of that district" Thus. this reactionary committee. flagrantly, sets at naught the will of the people of these great States that have repudiated the caucus and con- @ention system.

IS C0R0NER'S VERDICT ABOVE
 POLICE COURT?
Interesting Question Arises in Connection With Holding of
 Three Murder Suspects

Is 6 coroner's verdict sufficient % warrant a binding over" process in the city court? That question, which here may arise in the cases of Rose )Martelli, ard her brothers. Joseph and Rosaria DeLucia, all charged with |complicity in the murder of Mrs. iMarteili's husband Rosario, who was shot and killed while at work in his fRbbler shop at 10 West avenue early fB is month.
 The three accused were in the city |urt this morning and their cases (ere continued until Tuesday with 4lt bonds. According to the finding of Deputy proner Henry c. Stevenson who sat
 the case, these three are held as |dence tending to show that they were present at the time of the crime, al- though they deny this.
 As the evidence is purely circum- (k/antial and there is no evidence con- ectfng them with the crime othe- pan as witnesses, it is quite likely lat their counsel, Attorney George
 Mara, will make a strong fight to scharge them from custody when heir cases come up in the city court. Has that court right to discharge pem in view of the coroner's yer
 
 ers them held-sufficient to justify ne binding over process anyway That is a little question which may aome up for settlement.
 According to the statutes, the coro- CT has the power to commit with ut bail any person or persons whom Ee finds reason to suspect of a capi- al offence. In case it is an offence or which bail is admissible, said bail nust be returnable to the state, and he accused held for trial before the uperior court. Under such circum- tances it is indicated that the cor ner's finding is sufficient to bind ,. aspect over to the Superior court ven without the approval of the citS ourt.
 Another point is that in the event the city courts discharging the aspects, the coroner may immediate rearrest them if he sees fit.
 The trying out of this case may lear up this point and more fully de- ne the powers of coroner

Girls Caught Smoking.

Harrisonburg, Va, Feb. A re-
port has reached Harrisonbrrg that
twenty girls have been expelled from
a fashionable institute, north of
Lynchburg, in Amherst county, for
smoking cigarettes. 1t appears that
the school authorities made every
effort to keep secret the expulsion,
but it is reported that student from
the Valley wrote to her father to as
sure him that she was not one of
the girls that had got in trouble
about smoking cigarettes. This let
the story out.
The institute draws it's students
from the wealthiest and most aristo-
cratic families in Virginia. 1t is said
that the score of girls so summarlly
dismissed from the school quietly
packed their trunks and dispersed to
their homes on one their peri
odical'' visits.
1t is reported that the girls would
gather in certain rooms after TAPS
and enjoy their smokes. When the
matter reached the ears of the fscul-
ty, it, is said, it was at once decided
that drastic steps would be taken to
break up the growing cigarette hab-

WANTS WOMEN POLICEMEN.
Way to Crush White Slave Traffic
Says DR.. Shaw.

If DR.. Anna Shaw could have her
way there would be 100 women po-
lice in New York as quickly as they
could be fitted to the proper kind OF
blue frock, says a New York dis
patch.
Her theory as outlined to the young
women of the Artist League of the
Political Equality Association is that
none but policemen of their own
sex can successfully cope with GER
tain conditions in New York.
"'If you want to stop the white
slave traffic and keep boys and girls
away from various moving pictures,
restaurants and dance halls, you
must have women policemen said
she.
DR.. Shaw would pick her women
blue-coats from the Salvation Army
and would make Maude Ballington
Booth chief of the feminine squad.
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont seconded
DR.. Shaw's suggestion.

JOLT FOR FORTUNE HUNTERS.
New York Judges Ruling in Case of
Aged Woman Marrying.

New York, Feb. 4.-Fortune hunt
ing swains who besiege elderly wo-
men with fat bank accounts, received
jolt the other day from Supreme
Court Justice Moreau, who scored
them as schemers without principle.
His ire was aroused by the case of
Eleanor Scott Ongley, a spinster 7S
years of age, who on December 21,
married Henry H. Ongley, an en-
ployee of the tax office and sweet
heart of 35 years ago. Ongley's first
wife died recently and he at once re-
neWed his suit for the hand and
heart of his old flame, who had re-
mained single and had accumulated
fortune of a quarter of million
dollars. The brides brother, anger
ed by her marriage to Ongley, made
application to the court as soon as
he learned what had happened, for
the appointment of commission to
examine into her sanity. In grant
ing the motion, Justice Moreau said:
cit looks to me as if this newly
acquired husband Of the woman is
some sort of a schemer. What does
a man want to marry woman 7S
years old for? He wants her money"
The court has issued a restraining
order on the trust company which
holds the woman's money prohibit
ing it from paying her more than ST.
900 a month pending the determin-
alton of the commission. The bride
denies that she is insane and de-
clares that she loves her old lover
as much as she did when he first
paid her court. She says she will
fight the case.
