Not to Change Primary Act.

That neither house Of the legislature
will stand for a bill which even smells
like a state convention was shown
by the House defeating the bill for a
short primary ballot, requiring that
state officers other than governor,
senator and congressman be nominal
ted at a state convention by delegates
selected at the primary to attend such
convention. The Senate took like ac-
ton a short time ago.. and there is no
prospect of any change from the pres
ent primary law at this session unless
r. o. Richards files his initiated act, to
be presented to the people. Both
houses refused to act upon his bill as
introduced On the ground that it was
a copyrighted document, and nothing
would be done with 1t in that shape.

jumped to DeRosa's side and thrust
her right hand into one of his pockets.
It was then that Detective Richard
SON jumped for her but not quick
enough to prevent her from getting
her hand free and drawing forth the
automatic. His arms were about her
SO that she could not raise the
weapon. She struggled to free the
safety catch and pull the trigger. 1t
was all over in a few seconds.
In the same pocket Of DeRosa's
coat wefe found additional fully
loaded magazines fer. the automatic
and two packages Of cartridges. One
OF the packages contained cartridges
that would not fit the revolver taken
from the woman. DeRosa said that
the automatic and ammunition were
given him as parting gift by fell
low countrymen just before he sailed
for duty in the Italian army at the
front.
It is the belief of the authorities
that the man and woman are two
of the nefarious gang reported as
operating in other cities of the state,
responsible for stories of young wo-
men and girls being approached with
stories of easy money and life OF
ease in New York. For some time
local authorities have been warned to
look out for these suspected agents .
