Plan for Restoration OF
Party Choices Meets
No Opposition.
GUTHRIE FAVORS
SAKE AMENDMENT
Calls Present System "Step to
Anarchy"-Wickersham and
Herrick Concur.
From /. san Correspondent Of The tribune


Albany, June 16.-The foes of direct
primaries saw victory to-day, when no
opposition appeared against proposed
amendment of John Godfrey SAKE
Democrat, Of New York, providing for
the restoration of the party convention
and, indirectly, the end of direct pri-
mares at a hearing before the suf-
frage committee Of the Constitutional
Convention.
At the last session of the Legislature
Senator Argetsnger, of Rochester, in
troduced a bill for the same end. The
measure was drafted by reactionaries
Of the Republican party and had the
support of Tammany Hall, but it was
dropped after public disapproval made
itself known through the press.
William D. Guthrie. of New York; ex-
Judge D. Cady Herrick, of Albany, and
ex-United States Attorney General
Wickersham, of New York, spoke in
favor of the amendment.
The fact that two prominent Repub-
Leans supported a Democrats amend
ment excited considerable comment,
and the prophecy was made to-day that
the convention would pass Mr.. Saxe's
bill, OF one similar to it, unless public
opinion voiced unqualified disapproval.
1t is an open secret that the practical
politicians of the Democratic and Re-
publican machines favor a return to the
party convention.
Mr.. Saxe's amendment also provides
for a personal registration throughout
the state. Only Mr.. Herrick favored
this provision Of the bill.
Calls Present Method Scandal.
Mr.. Guthrie said he believed the
party convention was the proper We
hjcle for the nomination of state Of
ficers and for all judges.
1T is of paramount Importance" he
declared, that this important question
be dealt with by the constitution. The
manner in which election laws are be-
ing tinkered with by the legislatures
in this country is reproach and a
scandal throughout the civilized world" y
Mr.. Guthrie said the election ma
chinery was too complicated for any
one not an expert on election law to
understand The system should be
made as simple as possible, even though
by making it so you may not be able
to guard against every sort of fraud
and error"
Direct primaries might be feasible
ir selecting local candidates, but had
proved a failure as a state wide insti-
,ltion, he declared. "The old system
Of nominating by party conventions is
the only practicable system and the
only representative way of choosing
candidates.
Mr.. Guthrie said reforms could not
be effected through laws, but by teach
ing the people that government is
theirs and that the responsibility for
its conduct is theirs.
Mr.. Guthrie said that We were now

submarine. Mr.. Booth said no in
structions had been sent TO the Lust
tania to run at full speed through the
danger zone. He also said that on &C
count of the war there were many
poorly trained men in the crew.
The attorney for the Stewards
Union asked whether there were Ger
mans working on the Cunard dock in
New York Mr.. Booth replied that per-
haps German-Americans or Americans
Of German descent were employed
there. The attorney then asked
whether it would have been possible
for a spy to board the Lusitania for
the purpose of signalling submarines
Mr.. Booth answered that he was not
prepared 10 say this would have been
impossible, but the company took all
necessary steps TO prevent such action
Coal Supply Too Small
Baron Mersey elected from MI
Booth the admission that the Lusitania
had neither coal nor firemen enough on
board to make the trip across under
full boiler power. Addressing Sir Ed
ward Carson, Baron Mersey said he de-
sired TO know where the danger zone
began, and whether arrangements
could not have been made for the ship
to traverse this zone in the dark. The
Attorney General promised to en-
deavor to supply this information.
A seaman on the Lusitanla name "a
Quinn, who was in the crows nest OF
the Lusitania when she was STRUCK,

that she would have had much great

was any difference between Is knots
the speed at which the Lusitania, was
proceeding when attacked, and Il
knots. Mr.. Booth replied that no
steamer making more than "a knots was
known to have been struck by tor
pedo from a submarine until the Lusl-
tana was hit
The witness said the Cunard Com
many was unable to communicate with
the vessel by wireless, except through
the Admiralty, and therefore had given
no wireless instructions to Captain
Turner. General instructions given
previously covered the closing Of the
water-tight compartments, the swing
ing out Of boats on entering the danger
zone, and an order not to slow down TO
take on pilot or TO lie to off Liver

RETURNS 20 CENTS TO u. S.
Bacon and Eggs Unpaid for
Burdened Some Ones Mind.

Washington, June 16.-"Please find
twenty cents inclosed to pay for bacon
and eggs" reads a note received by the
Secretary of the Treasury to-day. The
twenty cents was added to the con-
science fund, which has now reached a
total of 100000. Just how the twenty
cents came to be due Uncle Sam for
bacon and eggs could only be figured by
Treasury officials on the theory that
some one not entitled to it had eaten
breakfast with the army at an encamp-
ment, and had concluded he ought to
pay the government for the food.
In this event, the money would be-
long to the War Department, but il is
not believed that Secretary Garrison
will bring any suit to prevent Secre-
tary McAdoo from Covering" the
money into the general fund.

1000 Tons of Coal Saved.

The coal saved during the voyage by
cutting off six of the twenty-five boilers
amounted to 1000 tons, according TO
the testimony of passenger, who said
he received this information from Staff
Captain Anderson.
Examination Of the Lusitania by
divers from a neutral country, with a
view to ascertaining what she had on
board in the way Of arms and ammuni-
ton, was suggested in the House Of
Commons to-day by Laurence Ginnell.
The practicability of this suggestion
was questioned by Walter Runciman,
president of the Board of Trade, owing
to the depth at which the vessel is ly-
ing and because that locality is not
free of hostile craft. Mr. Runciman
said he thought there would be no diff

material facts by means of a Board Of
Trade inquiry.
Speed Believed Sufficient.
When to-days inquiry before Baron
Mersey began, Alfred A. Booth, chair
man Of the board of the Cunard Steam
ship Company, was placed on the stand:
The Attorney General, Sir Edward
Carson, asked Mr.. Booth why 1t was
that the Lusitania was economizlng by
using only nineteen of her twenty-five
boilers at the time she was torpedoed.

Admitted by Cunard Officer

London, June 16.-Baron Mersey,
President of the Court of Inquiry into
the sinking Of the steamship Lusitania,
intimated this afternoon that the in
vestigation would soon be ended. The
Baron said his mind was quite salts
fed as to the most important ques-
tions-the speed of the vessel at the
time she was attacked, and the abb
sence of British desrroyers as an es-
cort He believed the court had be-
fore il all the evidence it was likely TO
obtain relative TO the alleged shortage
of officers and the use of boats at the
time Of the catastrophe.
Counsel connected with the case
were inclined to believe tomorrow
would be the,last day.
One Of the points elected to-day
was that there was only one boat
drill during the voyage. On that oc-
casion some members of the crew, in
lifebelts, swung out lifeboat and
jumped in. This drill lasted only q
few minutes

Reads of Warnings.

The witness said that all he knew
relative 10 warnings issued to intend
ing passengers was what he had read
i'm English newspapers, having received
no dispatch on this subject from the
New York Office Of the company.
Mr.. Booth was cross-examined ~ an
attorney representing survivors as to
whether the company took any steps
to prevent the Lusitania from entering
the war zone 'on schedule" The wit
ness replied that he did not know what
schedule time meant, but that Captain
Turner had entire discretion.
Mr.. Booth said he received no word
from Captain Turner during the voy-
age. On the morning of the day the
Lusitania was torpedoed the Cunard
Company asked the Admiralty to COM
municate with the ship concerning
threats against 1t.
The attorney for the survivors asked
Mr.. Booth why he had stated the Lusl-
tania was being run, for reasons Of
economy, merely to pay expenses. The
witness said the bookings Of first and
second class passengers were nearly
normal, but that the number OF steer
age passengers was only one-third the
normal, which occasloned loss.
Mersey Supports Booth.
Donald MacNaster. representing the
Canadian government. asked Mr.. Booth
whether there had been installed on
the Lusitania an apparatus for the de-
lection of submarines. The witness re-
sDonded he had no knowledge of any
workable device Of this sort. Mr.. Mac
Master then asked whether. by calling
out both watches. all the boilers could
have been worked. Baron Mersey,
president of the court of inquiry, in

that a speed Of Is knots might have
