SHERMAN INTRODUCES
NEW PRIMARY BILL
Comprehensive Measure Provides for
Choosing National Delegates
in This Way.

A comprehensive primary election law
Is proposed in a bill introduced in the
Senate yesterday by Senator Lawrence
Y. Sherman of Illinois. The bill requires
that delegates and alternates to national
conventions to nominate candidates for
President and Vice President shall be
elected at primary elections and also
enacts that members of the national
committee of each of the political parties
shall be chosen in like manner. The bill
proposes TO adopt the primary SYSTEMS
for choosing Presidential delegates in
States where they now exist and Gre
ates one for States which, have not Yet
evolved the primary election system. Any
State which refuses to choose its dele
gates in the manner prescribed is to be
denied representation in national con-
ventions.
The bill provides that each Congress
sional district shall be entitled to one
delegate and one alternate for every 1900
votes cast for the particular political
party, but provides that each party shall
have at least one delegate for each Con-
gressional district. The bill also author
ICES the election at large of delegates to
represent Senators and Representatives
at large, to the number of two for
each Senator or Representative.
The bill fixes the third Monday in June,
1916. as the date for holding the next
national conventions of all the political
parties, and makes that date permanent
for the future. 1t declares that any po
litical organization whose ticket holds
per cent of the total vote cast at a gen.
eral election shall be entitled to be recog-
nized as political party"

H0BSON WILL LEAVE
NAVAL COMMITTEE
Representative from Alabama to Be
Made Chairman of Education
Body in House.

spirited fight is in progress in the
House over the appointment of a chair
man of the Committee on Labor This
place was filled in the last Congress by
William B. Wilson, of Pennsylvania, who
Is Secretary of Labor in the Cabinet
Of President Wilson.
Four members who are interested in the
labor movement want to succeed to the
vacancy created by the retirement of
Mr.. Wilson from the House. Represent
atives Maher of New York, Lewis OF
Maryland Buchanan of Illinois, and How
ard of Georgia, are the active candidates
for the post at the head d the Labor
Committee. All are recognized as nit. and
that is why il is so difficult for Chair
man Underwood and his Democratic as
sociates on the Ways and Means Com
mittee to make selection. The Ways
and Means Committee began yester-
day the work of building the other House
committees
Among the important changes to be
made in the House committees is the
transfer of Representative Hobson of
Alabama from the Naval Committee to
the place at the head of the Committee
on Education Mr.. Hobson. who is a
graduate of Annapolis. and served in
the navy for years with distinction. has
been a disturbing factor in the Hou> &c
Naval Committee for years. He has
taken advanced ground in favor of naval
extensions that have kept him out Of

SENATE ADJOURNS,
AIDING TARIFF BILL
Members of Committees Can Devote
All Time to Considering
the Measure.
PROTEST MADE BY LAWYERS

In lire with the new plan for fastening
action on the tariff bill in the Senate
committee. an adjournment Of the ses-
sions of the Senate was taken yesterday
until Monday.
Senator's who are serving on the sub
committees of the majority OF the FL
nance Committee have been complaining
that the sessions OF the Senate required
their personal attendance and made 1t
impossible for them TO pursue their work
in committee rooms continuously.
The majority members of the Finance
Committee held a meeting this morning
at the call of Senator Simmons, chair
man. They framed about twenty-five in
terrogatories which they were ready to
offer as substitutes for Senator La Fol-
lette's questions. which he offered in the
Senate a few days ago, to be propounded
to manufacturers and other producers
who are seeking duties on their products
More than an hour was devoted to this
work. Senator Simmons declined to
make public the questions until after
they were offered in the Senate, and he
declared that they would not be offered
unless the Republicans persisted In de-
manding action on Senator La Follette's
resolution directing the propounding Of
questions to persons seeking tariff favors.
A formidable protest has been lodged
with the Finance Committee by law
yers from New York and elsewhere.
who object to the recommendations
made by the Treasury Department and
the Department OF Justice, forbidding
the taking Of customs cases on con-
tingent fees.
Two OF the subcommittees continued
hearings yesterday. Senator Stone and
Senators James and Thomas heard a
number of manufacturers and their
representatives on a variety of mat
tiers. including mohairs, velvets, silks.
pushes. wool. and monzanite sand.
There were frequent clashes between
the importers and the manufacturers.
with which the subcommittee showed
impotence.
In the subcommittee. composed of
Senators Johnston, Hughes. and Smith.
the chief interest of the day was in
a hearing over the duties on feathers
and birds. The time of the subcom-
mittees has been taken up entirely
with hearings. and there has been no
writing of schedules. The subcommit-
tees derive very little benefit from the
oral testimony. which is necessarily
curtailed. They receive briefs in near
ly every case. and these will be taken
up and considered after the oral hear
ings close.

U. S. ARMOR PLATE FACTORY.
Senator Ashur.t Introduces Bill for
$1,000, 900 Plant.

Senator Ashurst of Arizona today in
troduced in the Senate his promised bill
providing for the construction and matn-
tenance of a government armor plate
factory The bill carries with it ar
appropriation of sl.soo.00o.
III Is Senator Ashurst's contention that
the government is paying something in
excess of 40 per cent more than 1t should
for armor plate. He reviewed previous
efforts made as long ago as 1896 to have
the government establish its own armor
factory.
Senator Ashurst quoted Lieut.. Com
mander John A. Rogers as having told
the committee of 1895 that armor plate
could then be manufactured for So
per ton. and reiterated his faith that
this was approximately the price al
which it could be manufactured under
present-day conditions.

liable Deposits.

A bill introduced in the Senate yester-
day by Senator Pittman, chairman of
the Committee on Territories, throws
open the coal lands in Alaska for loca-
ton and operation by private individuals.
The bill in the first place restricts tbs
location OF coal lands to individuals on
the ground and prohibits the location by
agents. 1t also provides an incentive
for emigration to Alaska by those who
desire to acquire its natural resources.
There is no doubt, IL this bill passesi that
II will be the cause of thousands of pros
pectors and miners going to the Territory
this summer for the purpose Of availing
themselves of the privilege.
The bill provides that the coal fields
shall be surveyed by the government and
divided into equal-sized strips. the base
Of each strip resting upon possible trans
portation- These strips can be in such
form and dimensions as the Secretary of
the Interior may believe Will best facili-
tate the mining Of each strip.
Government to Hold Part.
Every other strip will be retained by
the government, with poweroo mine such
strips and transport the coal. when, In
the opinion of the President, such action
is demanded either by the requirements
Of the navy, the protection of the ma
ton. or for relief from oppressive con-
dtitions brought about by monopoly of
coal. The alternative strips not owned
by the government will be open to To-
cation.
There will be no restriction upon the
amount of coal land that can be acquired,
as there is no danger of a monopoly be-
cause the government always stands with
an equal amount Of coal, with authority
to become a competitor, when competi-
ton appears to oe necessary, either
through the mining of such coal directly
or through the leasing Of such govern
ment tracts.
