RICHARDS LAW IS
A CERTAIN winner.
PRIMARY MEASURE NOW HAS
LEAD OF l,7Sl-THE PRESENT
HUGHES LEAD in STATE
Is 1856 VOTES.

Pierre. s. Demands are being
made by the secretary of state for inn
mediate returns from the eight coun-
ties which have not yet made returns
on either part or all of their official
figures. With only Walworth county,
out the Norbeck vote is 71,43S and
llinehart. 1922. with eight counties
out. mostly Democratic. The Hughes
lead is 1850.
The first footings for several days
on the tivesiNths jury referred law
shows that it will run close, Its lead
is 1,S00, with eight counties to re-
port. The standing on prohibition and
suffrage have not changed amy.
With several counties out in each
district, the vote on congressman Is:
First distrct-Dillon, 24,776, An
derson l6,715: Second district
Johnson. 25,4o3, Batterton, l6,347;
Third district-Gandy, Hiss, Bar
time, S,264.
Richards Law Wins.
AS further figures are gathered.
the Richards law is so far ahead that
il may be said it is certainly to be
the primary election law of the state
for the leXt election With lead of
1874 and eight counties to hear from,
this majority is more likely to grow
than be reduced, and nothing but an
unlikely heavy majority in the coun-
ties vet out can change the final
result. and Richards will have the
satisfaction of having received a third
endorsements of his law by the voters.
There is no apparent relative
change in the figures on all the other
amendments. Their disposal is so far
settled that no totals are being car
ried along on any of them. The good
roads amendment apparently having
a vote of about two. to one, and the
irrigation amendment being strongly
supported.
\ legislative list is about completed
and returns are required only on one
or two counties to secure the names
and addresses of all the new MEM
bers elect

SPACE BASIS IN
 NEW ?. ]. BILL
Present Weight System Is Displaced By Payment By Space Plan
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Over bit ter and persistent opposition the house tonight passed the annual postoffice ap prOpration bill with it's provisions for substituting a space basis for the pres ent weight system of paying railroads for carrying mails and prohibiting any increase in the existing limit of fifty pounds on parcel post packages. The measure carries appropriations aggre- gatng $321, 900, 900 to operate the postal system during the coming year.
 The fight against the space payment plan, long advocated by the postoffice department and vigorously opposed by the railroads. was led by Representa- tive Cannon of Illinois. His proposal that the matter of rate adjustment be left to the interstate commerce com mission was defeated 79 to 54.
 Representative Lewis of Maryland contended to the last for 100 pound limit for the parcel post. He declared the limit of 50 pounds would hog tie the parcel service and send up the stocks of the express companies.
 The bill finally was passed without record vote A motion to send it back to the committee was voted down 174 to 139.

 Lieutenant J. A. Alexander, tempo rarily in command of the Whipple in the absence of Lieutenant Francis D. Prior said today that the affair was a schOol5oy prank, but he declared he was determined to sift the matter tc the bottom Members of the crew however, said that ill-feeling had been brewing for more than year. not sc much against the commissioned off cers of the vessel as against two chiel petty officers who. they allege, have been shown undue favoritism.

George Bernhard Says All Ships Bound for England Should Be Destroyed Whether Carrying Arma- ment Or Not
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

BERLIN tV.a LOndOn). Feb. 2S.- George Bernhard. in a leading article in the Nossische Zeitung, calls for the destruction of all ships bound for Eng land, whether armed or not. He points to the seizure by Portugal of German ships. which ne says probably will be used under the Portuguese flag to carry foodstuffs to England.
 The writer fears also that many Ger man ships now lying Tn South Ameri- can harbors may eventually be em- ployed for he same purpose. and asks Shall we then let these ships quietly pass, which as unarmed English mer- Chantmen cross the ocean? We shall nave to do so if we hold to the phan- tom of torpedoing only armed mer- chantmen and of sparing neutral ships in all circumstances"
 Herr Bernhard thinks that the war should be carried out not against cer- tain categories of British ships. but against British commerce on the seas and declares that the new submarine campaign is the only permissible meas ure of reprisal "a ganst England's breach of international law"
 If this does not accomplish the ob- ject, which is to prevent the provision ing of England, he adds, death blow can be dealt England only if we direct request to all neutral states to be l ind enough to keep out of Englisi coastal waters for a specified time since otherwise we cannot assume re- sponsibility for their ship losses.
 The leading German stateman. Herr Bernhard continues, must soon deter mine whether to take this course, an( he adds:
 Tt is not without risk. but the great est risk would be neglected opportunity Moreover the risk is perhaps smaller since the American congress show! signs of demanding that the decision in international affairs be taken iron the presidents hNnds and placed il those of congress"

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The robbery of four valuable registered mail pack ages, in what appears to have been an attempt to steal at least $10O0, 900 in currency consigned to New York banks. became known here today.
 The robbery occurred Saturday morning when a United States mail automobile truck was entered while t was on ferry bound from the Gen. tral of New Jersey railroad station at Communipaw, x. J., to Liberty street, New York. The packages were stolen from mail pouches, three of which were from Washington and ono from Baltimore
 Postoffice inspectors admitted that other pouches containing currency
 consigned to New York banks were on the truck and while protesting ig- iorance of the amount said that such cOnsignments frequently ran as higf as s1,000,000 and more.
 According to unofficial reports, one of the stolen Washington packages contained $200000 The robbery, tht inspectors said, was done by some ont who had keys. both to the mail trucl 1 and the pouches.

LONDON, Feb. 3S.-The morning newspapers today devote many col umns of space to the situation on the western battle front. The fight ing around Verdun divides attention with the new German offensive in Champagne to which the Times par ticuIariy attaches importance.
 "Tne expected offensive in Cham pdgne," says the Times, has not been long in coming. The German stroke was sudden and succeeded in pene- trating both advanced and support ing trenches in the neishborhOod of the Navarin farm But the claims made in the German official com n.unication may safely be. regarded as exaggerated The region is deeply scored with French defense works as formidable as those around Verdun, and should the German offensive de velcp further, the French will be found to be fully prepared"
 Regarding Verdun, the Times thinks that while the situation is still seri- ous the French will have signal ad Vantages in any further German at tempt to advance. The newspaper compares the French evacuation of | the east front of Nerdun to the 1 British withdrawal from the Galli- poll peninsula, saying that the Ger mans did not discover for sixteen hours tha. the French trenches were f empty
 The Times comments on the Ger man attempt to batter to pieces the 1 town of Verdun, but it points out that
 population before the battle began.
 The Daily Telegraph's military ex- 1 pert is scarcely as confident as the other writers regarding Verdun. He
 declares that the temporary Hull prob

SHORTEN DEBATE 0N
 WATER POWER BILL
Much of Argument Applies Equally to Shields and
 Myers Provisions
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Senators interested in legislation for the devel- opment of water power planned today to shorten debate on the subject of at taching an amendment to the Shields dam bill, now up for passage, the Myers water power bill, which has been favorably reported by the house lands committee.
 The Shields bill which would permit construction of dams on navigable riv- CTS from the development of hydro
 electric power by private capital. has
 weeks. Much of the argument both for
 and against the measure applies equally l to the Myers measure, which was intro ] duced by Senator Myers as a substi tute to the Ferris water power bill
 which has passed the house.
 Provision is made in the Myers bill
 for the leasing of public lands as water power sites: regulation and control be- ing left to the interstate commerce
 commission, whence the power is de- veloped in two or more states.
 Applicants for lease would have to comply with requirements of state laws for obtaining the right to use water.
 Fifty per cent of the return from such
 leases would be paid to the state in l which the plant was located, and the
 other 50 per cent would go to the fund
 for reclamation projects in aried states
