MUST VOTE ON PRIMARIES
Congress Has No Power to Order the
Change, Says Senator Pomerene
of Ohio.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Pomerene of Ohio, who has been one
of the active advocates of prompt
passage of Presidential Primary
Bill in order that the candidates in
1916 might be chosen under it, an
nounced today that he had reached
the conclusion with very great regret
THAT Congress has no power to pro-
vide for a presidential primary and
that the constitution must be amend
ed or the subject left entirely to the
states"
Senator Pomerene has discussed the
subject several times recently with
President Wilson, who advocated a
presidential primary law in his first
message to Congress. The President
told callers recently he had not de-
cided whether constitutional amend
ment would be necessary.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma, a White
House caller yesterday, said that he
differed from the view announced last
night by Senator Pomerene of Ohio
that constitutional amendment
would be necessary for Presidential
primary.

A. LARGER BOND FOR ROBERTS
Judge Anderson Holds Terne Haute
Mayor for Alleged TamPering
With Witnesses.

indianapolis, March 25.-Mayor
Dom NJ. Roberts, in addition to the
three men sent to Jail last night, be-
cause of alleged tampering with wit
nesses in the Terre Haute election
case, was ordered into the custody of
the United States marshal today. He
was ordered to give additional bond
of S.. 900 for his appearance to answer
the charge of corrupting government
witnesses.
Sheriff Dennis Shea, City Judge
Thomas Smith and Street Inspector
Alexander Aczel, defendants, who
were placed in Jail last night by or
der of Judge Anderson, also were held
under additional bonds of $4,000 each
on the same charge as placed against
Mayor Roberts. The four were taken
in custody by Mark Storen, United
States marshal.
Judge Anderson waited until the
jury had retired at noon before plac-
ing the charge against the four. He
read two United States statutes, one
of which places the penalty for in
terfering with witnesses at $1,000 or
a year in prison, or both, and the
other fixes the punishment at a fine
of $4,000 or six years in prison or

NO U. S. CONSUL At KIRKWALL
British Government Declines Request
of State Department. for Rep
resentative at that Port.

London, March 26.-The British
government has refused the request of
the United States that an American
consular officer be permitted to take
station at the port of Kirkwall, in
Scotland. to report on American cargo
ships detained there. The reason for
the refusal Is that similar requests
have been denied others interested in
shipping detained in the Orkneys
The United States has experienced
great difficulty in obtaining informa-
tion concerning ships detained at
KirkwalI for the last three months.
Because of KirkwalTs insular location
communication with the Scottish
mainland is difficult and ships officers
frequently are unable to communicate
with London until their vessels are
taken from Kirkwall to some English
or other Scottish port to unload the
alleged contraband on board.
Until the opening Of the war Kirk
wall was an unimportant port, con-
ssquently the United States never had
a consular representative there. All
the North Scottish mainland and the
islands are now prohibited areas, from
which aliens, both neutral and bellig-
erents, are barred.

ENGLISH GOLD COMING BACK
Bank of England Sends Shipment of
$1,000, GOO to Pay for War
Supplies.

New York, March 24-Another
break in foreign exchange quotation
yesterday between New York and Lon
don brought the rates down to the
lowest within the memory of the old
est brokers. The decline was fol-
lowed by the announcement of the en-
gagement for shipment here of $6,3OO,-
900 from the gold holdings of the
Bank of England at Ottawa, Canada.
This is the largest amount in one day
since the return movement to this
country began and brings the total up
to $24,8OO,O0O, representing nearly
one-third of the gold sent from the
United States to Ottawa during the
early months of the war.
The disturbed condition of the ex-
change market is attributed chiefly
to the enormous purchases of war sup
plies in this country by the govern
ments of the allies.
Exchange on Paris moved yesterday
to it's lowest record, as regards the
purchasing power of French money
here.

VICTOR COMPANY LOSES SUIT
New York Federal Judge Decides That
Patentee of an Article Can Not
Fix Prices.

New York, March 25-The right of
a patentee under the Patent Law to

MED by Judge Hand in a decision yes
terday in the United States District
Court A suit brought by the Victor
Talking Machine Company to restrain

this plan and Judge Hand ruled that
the Victor company had no recourse.

DECORATIONS IN THE HOME
Especial Feature of the Moment Is
the Lavish Use That Is Being
Made Of Lace.

Lace assumes more and more the
important place in the domain Of home

upholsterers have to employ lacemak-
ers and are obliged to make lace pur-
chases on a considerable scale
Among other things, pianos and win
dows are draped with lace, leaving
room fer legitimate upholstery to come

of quite modern origin And, combin-

AMERICAN SUBMARINE LOST
The "A Fails to Come to Surface After
Dive in Harbor at Homo
IuIu-CreW Perish.

Honolulu, March 27.-The American
submarine F-4, lost since yesterday
morning OFF Honolulu harbor, was To-
Gated this afternoon. Heroic efforts
were being made tonight to raise the
stricken craft, but after having been
submerged for more than thirty hours
it was regarded as highly doubtful
whether any Of her crew of twenty
one men remained alive.
To lift the little vessel to the sur
face it was found necessary to send
to the Pearl Harbor naval station for
a derrick and crane. This involved
much loss of time and it was thought
probable that the fate of the crew
might not be determined until day
light.
Rescue vessels dragging the ocean
bed with graphing hooks Glanced
upon the stricken craft at a depth Of
300 feet. Making fast to the F-4, the
naval tug Navajo and the steamer
Makaala began to tow their find-they
were not certain that it was the sub
marine they had hooked-toward shall
low water. Quantities of oil came to
the surface, proof that it really was
the lost vessel. Soon afterward, sub
marine marker buoy, deserted far be-
low the water, removed ali doubt that
the F-4 had been found
Just when the marker buoy had
been released by the disabled boat
there was no means of determining. If
the signal was given after the Crap
ping hooks of the rescue vessels took
hold then the crew-or at least some
of them-were still alive

cross-bar pattern in the same fabric
as the coat for an inlay in the collar
and revers and as a border for the
sleeves This Inlay is shown in black
with white bars, in bright green and
in leather color.
The collar is cut so that it may
be brought up close about the neck,
and, while the coat is not designed
for cold weather, it has plenty of
warmth to fortify one against the
keen breeze Of the sea OF the morning
chill of the mountain country and
the 'norther" that penetrates to
southern climes.
Such a coat is destined to outliye
a single season; II is so sanely fash
toned that 1t may be relied upon 10

that but for floating mines the mar

Owing to the damage caused by the

a council of war, have decided to des-

forts at long range.
"Officers of the allied fleet declare
to the correspondents that the forcing
of the straits at all costs is certain.

charged revolver lying in his belt and
bullet had pierced his groin.
