mony of Judge Edward Swami, of the
court of general sessions, a witness to-

sections of the city to ply their trade

Many strong associations of crimi-
nails exist, well organized and conducted
for the purpose of theft" said Judge
Swami. "There are. however, many
different kinds of associations. For
instance, there is the blackmailing as

To smash these trusts Judge Swami
advocated that city detectives be di-
vided into special squads nominally
known as homicide group, bomb throw

PRIMARY ELECTION
OF POSTMASTERS

Washington February 13-Primary
elections for the selection of fourth
class postmasters are provided for in
an amendment to the postoffice appro-
priation bill which the Senate COM
mittee on postofhces today added to
that measure. The consideration of the
bin was completed by the committee,
formation relating to some of the
changes, the bill was withheld from the
Senate.
The amendment regarding fourth
class postmasters was adopted as result
of a suggestion by Senator Bristow of
Kansas, although his original provi-
sion was much modified. AS acted
upon by the committee it will apply
only to fourth class offices and it will
| be optional with the postoffice depart
ment as to whether the system shall
be put into execution. In that event 1t
lauthorizes the holding of primary elec-
| tions and when such elections are held
| 1t is made obligatory upon the de-
lpartment to appoint the person receiv-
ing the highest number of votes among
the patrons of any given postoffice.
The committee also passed favorably
| upon an amendment requiring the re-
weighing of the mails next Septemb or
| in order to arrive at a basis for COM
lpensaton to the railroads for carrying.
| the business of the parcel post. An
other amendment repeals the much
criticised blue tag law which gives
| the postmaster general discretion in
delaying second class mail matter.
