CHARLESTON, W. "a. Feb. 15.-
Rough.shod, the Democrats tonight
sought to force through the House the
Democratic primary bill and kindred
measures. The bill had only been
placed on the desks of the members
to-day, and the Republicans protested
vigorously that the action was unfair,
and that the Democrats were not act
ing in good faith, since the night ses-
sion had been called for local and not
general legislation.
Captain W. T. Otto declared to
Speaker Thurmond. as that officer
called the Ohio county delegate re-
peatedly out Of order, that Might
never made right and asked foA fair
play.
this point shouted that the House
would pass the Democratic primary
bill and its companion measures, "a
nothing else would be done this sesa
sion"
The Republicans succeeded in hav-
ing the bill read section by section for
amendment. but after they had pro
posed couple of amendments, strik-
ing out sections that lost on strictly
marty vote, Speaker Thurmond refused
to recognize minority members fur
ther.
Delegate Johnson accused the Re-
publicans of trying to flibuster. :,
The Democrats refused TO permit
the bill TO be continued for further
consideration either Friday or Monday,
at Republican suggestion. and the prl-
mary bill, the election bill and the reg
isfration bill, all drawn from a Demo
cratic viewpoint. were forced through
10 third reading.
Democratic Floor Leader Johnson
declared that while the majority in
sisted on forcing through their bills.
! they had no hope yof them passing the
Senate.
The widest. excitement marked the
proceedings tonight, and at times as
many as a score Of members were on
the floor demanding recognition.
Delegates Swope, Otto, Weiss, Sulll-
van and Headerlin led the Republican
opposition TO the radical Democratic
measures.

WE'RE ABDUCTED
ACROSS BORDER

HAcHlTA, N. M. Feb. 15.-
Three bodies Of Americans, later
identified as those of Andrew P.

ed with machete, according to
Salisbury. All of the bodies were

shoes, Salisbury said. =,
Salisbury found the raiders
trails early this morning and fol-
lowed them during The ray, com
ina upon the abandoned bodies late
this afternoon. From what nc could
learn, the Mormon scout said ne

dered men had been taken into
Mexico from American soil and
