House EmaSCulateS
Pure Election Laws

Atlanta, Aug. IA new reg
istration bill, which it is declared
by some of the best thinkers in
both house and senate, will re-
suit in multiplying the pure cleo
tons statutes enacted in 1909,
was passed in the house Tuesday
morning during the rush of lat
ter day bills and without, it is
said, the members knowing just
what was being voted upon.
The bill provides that state pri-
maries shall not be held later than
June Is, preceding the general
elections in the fall, and thereby
repeats the law which prescribes
that primaries shall be held at
date not later than sixty days be-
before the regular elections. 1t
was introduced by Representa-
tives Cooper and Crawley of
Ware.
A hot fight will doubtless be
made upon this bill in the senate,
as many of the house members
who did not know it was being
voted upon Tuesday will person
ally urge the senators to defeat
it. Opponents of the measure
point out that the constitution of
the state requires that the tax
books of the state shall be closed
six months before the general
elections and that this being true
the registrars would not have
sufficient time to properly purge
the registration lists if the pri-
maries are to be held June Is or
earlier.

HAIRPINS FOUND
IN FIRE Ruins

Dubuque, Ia, Aug. 23.-Ten woman's
hairpins were today found among the
ashes of the Sternweis barn, where
one of the adult bodies was discovered
after the fire which caused the death
of FIVE persons on Thursday at the
.Sternweis home. seventeen miles
northwest of here, Possibility that the
hairpins. may have belonged to Mrs.
Sternweis is being considered in the
effort to determine which died first,
Mrs. Sternweis or her husband. It was
first thought the body found in the
barn was that of Sternweis who Off
GERS thought killed his family. The
question of which died first will settle
the disposition of the estate. If the
husband died first the heirs of the wife
will share about $4,000, or one-third
of the estate. If the woman died first
her heirs will get none of her hus-
bands property. Fixing responsibility
for the deaths and fire also is involved
in the identification of the body found
in the barn. The body of one of the
three children has not been discovered.
Officers asst night were inclined to
the belief that Mrs. Sternweis and not
her husband, had killed the family and
fired the, buildings. There was moth
ing to support this theory, except the
finding of the hairpins near the adult
body found in the barn debris. The
bodies were SO much burned that iden-
LITIGATION Is said to be impossible.
