WASHINGTON, March Point
ing out the peril of a national pri-
mary act, Senator Lawrence Y. Shey-
man, of Illinois, Republican, to-day
called upon the Senate to enact a
measure recognizing State primary
laws. He said he based his opposition
to national primary on the ground
that ten States could control Presi-

Senator Sherman pointed out that
California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri,
New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania
cast the majority of the popular vote
in general elections.
The plan | advocate is a recogni-
ton of State primary laws and the
extension of their power to the selec-

confessed Thursday to Assistant Pro-
baton officer Glover at the Juvenile
Detention Home that she had fired
the home of her employer Wednes-
day. The house was damaged to the
extent of $1,000.
The girl stated she was angry at
Mrs Wright because she had been
reprimanded for taking up ashes in
the various freplaces of the Wright
home by use of a wheelbarrow, which,
according to the negroes, occurred to
her as the best method of accom-
plishing her work in short time.
According to the girls story, as told
in her confession, she threw lighted
match in an upstairs closet OF the
home after seeing Mrs. Wright leave
the h, use. The blaze ignited clothing.
The negress was found on the
Wright premises on the arrival of The
firemen. She stated she remained 1T
the house hoping to avoid suspicion
officer Hazlett, who was called to the
scene of the fire, became suspicious of
the attitude of the servant and de-
tanned her at the Juvenile Detention
Home. where she is now being held
for trial before Judge Tindall at 3
o'clock Thursday afternoon.
