would define corrupt practices in connec-
ton with campaigns.
Senator Owen said Congress should fol.

vide for the nomination OF candidates FOR
the Presidency and the Vice-Presidency

ed that state primaries for President,

spoke at Denmark Hill. in the South
Of London, but chivalrous discrimina-
ton was employed as between the men
and women disturbers, the women be-
ing chased off the rounds and the
men being ducked in the lake.
The Right Hon Thomas ]. Macna-
mara, Parliamentary Secretary to the
Admiralty, who presided, appealed to
the assembled multitude to leave il en-
tirely TO the stewards TO deal with the
disturbers, but the request was disre-
garded. The man who Jared worst Yves
a clergyman, said TO be member Of
Sylvia Parkhurst's East End army.
Undeterred by the fate that had be-
fallen other disturbers, he demanded in
stentorian tones TO know why the gov
eminent had not given votes to women.
His clerical garb seemed 10 produce
the effect the crowd that a red flag
does on mad bull. The crowd rushed
forward and carried him off his feet
and pitched him headlong into the lake,
from which, after frequent complete
dimensions, he was rescued in half
drowned condition by a man in boat.

sci, former District Attorney John p.
Merrill. of jamaica, Mrs. Sprasue also
duplicates her husbands cousin. J. Rus
sell sprague. a young lawyer. Of Far
Rockaway.
She accuses the lawyer Of assisting IN
the plot to conceal from her that an ac-
ton was being brought against her. Mrs.
Sprague. who is twenty-one years old.
Is living with her mother, Mrs Eliza
beth Dalton, at Edgemere. Her baby is
with her.
In her afidavit Mrs. sprague alleges
that her husband wishes to get rid OF
her so as to be able 10 fulfil the wish OF
his rich mother. that he marry Miss
Laura Werden, an orphan. who for two
years has been living in his mothers
home as an adopted daughter.
The young wife affirms that she and

told both by her husband and his
