How big will the primary vote be?
That is the big question which all of
the men interested in the fortunes Of
the various candidates for governor
are figuring on, for ability to forecast
the vote Will carry with it ability to
organize To gain the greatest possible
advantage. And the various campaign
managers are sitting up nights en-
deavoring To get line on the situa-
ton.
The general opinion seems to be that
the vote will be light, despite the null
tiplicty of candidates for the Republic
can nomination. There is no vital is
sue in the campaign, the methods Of
the candidates have been quieter than
in other campaigns and the papers
have not given it the attention the
battles of 1910 or 1908 received. This
apathy has been communicated to the
voter. to a large extent.
on the other hand there is no party
enrolment and any registered voter
may vote in the primary. This should
increase the vote, as under the old sys-
TEN many men refused to go to the
trouble of enrolling and were therefore
denied a chance to vote in the pri
mary. 1t is hardly likely, however,
that this will offset the general lack of
interest now being displayed, particu-
larly I'm the rural districts where the
farmers are busy and expressing only
little enthusiasm for any of the can
didates, except i'm isolated cases.
Two styles Of campaign are being
waged by the four leading candidates
for the Republican nomination. Alex
j. Groesbeck and George T.. Ellis are
after concentrated vote. while Chase
=. Osborn and Frederick G. Martindale
are laboring for scattered vote which
will be enough in the aggregate To
nominate. George T.. Ellis is concen-
tratng his efforts in Kent, which he
will carry, and in the cities where
there is a big labor vote.
Estimates of the number of votes,
with six candidates i'm the field. needed
to nominate vary. The lowest esti
mate made by an observer who is in
pretty close touch with affairs is $4,000
and from this 1t runs up to $1,000.
The consensus of opinion, however, is
that IL will require around $4,000 to
1000.

Washington, Feb. 5.--Although off ciaIs of the department of justice are centering attention on the question of how the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad is to dispose of it's holdings in the Boston & Maine, it became known tonight that it is the present plan that the other prop critics controlled by the New Haven which 1t has agreed to divide up, eventually will be put in the hands of trustees

The trustees will be chosen by the New Haven and submitted to the department. Attor- ney General McReynolds will not die tate the trustees, but he will have much to do with their selection and no person will be named who does not receive his approval.
 For the present T. W. Gregory and Jesse C. Adkins, the wto department attorneys in the New Haven case, are working on the proposed trusteeship for the Boston & Maine It was un- derstood today that Louis D. Brandeis of Boston will probably be made chair man of this board.

CLAIMS JAPANESE IS
 SUPERIOR TO NEGRO.
Senator Vardaman in Heated Contro-
 versy With Senator Jones.

Washington, Feb. 5.-An amendment by Senator Jones of Washington to the agricultural extension bill which would insure to negro colleges of the south the administration of a portion of the funds proposed for farm demon stratien work led to sharp debate in the senate today over the racial ques- ton.
 Senator Jones for over three hours defended the principle of his amend ment, which was still pending when the senate adjourned. Senators Hol1e Smith of Georgia and Vardaman of ii. ssissippi contended that the admin istI ation of the appropriation should be left in the hands of the white man who would "do more for the negro than the negro could do for himself"
 The Mississippi senator wanted to know if Senator Jones would be will ing to allow the Japanese to share in the administration of the fund allotted to the Pacific states. 'Yes, if the Jap anese were citizens; but they are not, = was the emphatic response.
 Well, you will admit" continued Senator Vardaman, that the Japanese in all the elements that go to make up the man is superior to the negro?"
 No, I do not admit that declared Senator Jones, and Senator Vardaman sat down, remarking: T can't argue with that kind of a man."

PROBE OF UNIONS
 OF PRINTING TRADE
Grand ~,Jury Action Instigated by
 Doubleday, Page & Go.

New York. Feb. 5-The Allied Printing Trades councils of Philadel- phia. and Boston will figure in the in vestigation undertaken by the federal grand jury now dealing here with the complaint made against the Allied Printing Trades council of New York city and New York state by Double day, Page and company for alleged discrimination by a combination of la Dor unions in violation of the Sher- man act. This was disclosed today when witnesses from Philadelphia and Boston appeared before the grand jury in response to subpoenas. Only the Philadelphia witnesses testified today.
 According to the complaint, Double day, Page and Company, alleged to have been in difficulty with the New York EngTavers union, made con tracts for work with & number of union and non union concerns in Phil adelphia and Boston. It is alleged that the New York Allied Printing Trades council, hearing of this. requested the Philadelphia and Boston unions ko call a strike in the shops doing the work of the complainant, who charges that this was done in restraint of trade and through conspiracy sim liar to that alleged to have been shown in the Danbury Matters union case. Union correspondence submitted by A. s. Barnes, secretary of the Allied Printing Trades council of Philadel- phia in response to subpoena was i'm pounded today for the government by Assistant United States District At torney Harold Harper, who has charge of the inquiry. Counsel for the union made an intellectual attempt to secure the release of the documents by ap- plying for an order to Federal Judge Howard c. Hollister
 In a statement issued tonight by Peter J. Brady. secretary of Allied Printing Trades council of New York city, assurance of cooperation is given United States District Attorney H. Snowden Marshall. The complaint says the statement, was attributable to the hostility of one or two em- pIoyers who have never been able to sympathize with the liberal attitude towards the unions of other employers.

Schmidt Found
 Guilty by Jury
CONVICTED OF MURDER IN THE
 FIRST DEGREE.
HE LAUGHS AT VERDICT
Declares That 1t Is As It Should Be and As He Wishes It-Schmidt Shielded Physician. Says Lawyer.

New York, Feb. 5.-Hans Schmidt was found guilty today of murder in the first degree for killing Anna Au- muller, a young woman he had mar ried by a self-performed ceremony while acting as a priest at St. Joseph s church. The penalty of the crime Is death in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison. He will be sentenced next Wednesday.
 Laughed at Verdict.
 Schmidt, whose defense. was insani- ty, laughed bitterly when the verdict was pronounced. He had steadfastly declared himself guilty and at his ar raignment before being held for the supreme court pleaded that he be pun ished by death Later he protested asainst the insanity defense advanced by his counsel and tonight said he would not assist them in any way if they prepared an appeal.
 "ls as It Should Be-" Says Schmidt.
 T would rather die tonight than to- morrow he said. Tt is as it should be and as I wish it.
 This was the second trial, and the jury was out few minutes less than five hours. At the first trial the jury disagreed. Alfenists for prosecution and defense supplied most of the tes- timony at both trials.
 Woman Not Murdered.
 A. G. Koelble of Schmidt's counsel asserted after the verdict that, owing to the former priests persistent si- lence concerning the crime, it had not been possible to place all the facts before the jury. He said Schmidt was not guilty of murder, but had shield ed physician after the woman S death.
 She was not murdered. the lawyer declared. If the police would display energy. he said, they could get at the truth. The lawyer was undecided whether he would take an appeal Father Schmidt will never go to the helectric chair" he said, however. Woman's Head Never Recovered.
 Anna Aumuller's body was cut up with a knife in Schmidt's flat Sept 2 last and the pieces, in several bun dies, were thrown into the Hudson river, where most of them were found before suspicion was directed against Schmidt. The head vSGs never reoov- cred. Schmidt in his confession tu the police said he was commanded to girls life by his patron, St. Elizabeth.
 Muret Serving Seven Years.
 Dr. Ernest A. Muret, dentist Schmidt's friend and companion, who was arrested shortly after the ex- priest was accused of murder was sentenced in October to seven years in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta after his conviction for counterfeit ing.
 Schmidt declared, at Muret's trial that 1t was he and not Muret who planned the counterfeiting operations
