State Nominating
Convention Bill
I'm Senate To-day
staff Correspondence

Staff Cogresp spondence
ALBANY, Feb. d Senator Charles
w. Walton. of Ulster County, will in
troduce q bill tomorrow restoring the
State Convention system Of nominating
candidates. The measure will limit the
nomination by the old method to can
didates on the state ticket, and for all
judicial Offices.
Republicans and Democrats are all
strong for the measure But the Dem
ocrats are waiting to see what Cover
nor Smith has to say before they viii
take 2 stand on it. Governor Smith
fought for years all efforts to give the
state a direct primary law.
When he was told tonight that the
bill was about to be intoduced Gov
ernor Smith refused to say whether he
was for or against the restoration of
party conventions.
But I viii say this" he added. "The
Legislature might better be employed
looking after the big construction prob
ems affecting the whole people than
figuring out how the next Governor is
going to be elected a year and half
from now"
Senator J. Henry Walters, majority
leader, predicted that large number
of Republicans would support the bill,
and that he personally favored it.
iHauQeuS \. sweet, speaker OF the AS
scmbly and Simon L. Adler, majority
leader. expressed similar views
The present system of selecting dele
gates to the state and judicial con-
ventions at direct primaries is contin-
ued by the Walton bills.
The measure fixes the ninth Tuesday
before election as the date on which
primaries shall be held. The eighth
Tuesday before election is fixed as the
day on which conventions shall be or
ganized. independent nominations may
be filed by 3 per cent of the enrolled
voters within eleven days after the
convention nss named the ticket.
In Presidential years the first Tues
day in April is fixed as Primary Day.
SO that delegates 10 national conven-
tons may be chosen. Within eleven
Gays after the spring elections are held
the s8ate conventions are to be held
and delegates at-large to the national
conventions chosen thereat.
he bill permits the grouping Of del
egatcs on petitions and the expression
OF preference { j to the candidates
which the delegates shonld support. In
thle way the voters could instruct the
delegates as 10 their choice.

torney General to report what steps
had been taken to investigate the
meetings in Washington, and what he
had done to enforce the law in the

Senators Myers, of Montana, and
Kellogg, of Minnesota, denounced the
meeting and the speeches that had

Weeks read the Boshevik laws provid-

If there is no law to punish the

tor Myers. "then the Judiciary Com
mIttee ought to draft such a law and
submit it to the Congress. Are we to
remain silent and see the dignity and
sovereignty of the American govern

The Senator declared it seemed the
time might come when there would be

other defending them He referred to

New York Chinese
Held in Washington
In Murder Inquiry
New York Tribune
WASHINGTON Yuren

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Develop-
ments during the next twenty four
hours are expected to lift the veil of
mystery surrounding the murder here
last week of Dr. Theodore 7. Wong, n.
C. Hsie and Ben Sen WI, three mem
this country by the Chinese govern
ment.
The police are already holding as ma
terial witnesses in the case Zing Sung
Wan, a distant relative of Wong, who
was a guest at the mission up to the
night the triple murder is believed
to have been committed, and Zing's
brother Both of the men were
brought to Washington from New
York, where they we're located at 313
West 112th Street.
The police are understood to have
abandoned the idea that the killings
were the result of complications over
political affairs IN China. The APP
pearance in the case of a $4,000 check
bearing the forged signature of DR..
berry or blackmail was the motive of
the crime.
The check was presented to the pay
ing teller of the Riggs National Bank
in this city by young Chinese on the
day after DR.. Wong and his two assist
ants were murdered. forged letter
to the cashier of the bank, also signed
with the name of the head of the mis-
sion, was offered by the strange China
man to establish his right to payment.
Still denied payment, the young Ori
entail promised to return the next day
with further proofs Of his identity, but
never did SO. The police are under
stood to have located the holder Of the
check. Announcement OF his arrest is
expected.
Discovery Of the murder was made
last Friday evening, presumably two
days after the crime. was committed
On Wednesday afternoon Kong Lii, q
student friend of Hsie and WI, had
gone to the house, but on ringing the
door bell was greeted through q crack
in the door by Zing Sung Wan, who
informed him that everybody was out.
1t subsequently developed that Wong
and his two assistants attended sepa-
rate dinner parties that night, and
were last seen when they left for home
about 10:30 o'clock
A pathetic feature of the case was
the arrival here TO- day of Helen Wong.
the twentytwo-y year-ol daughter Of
DR.. Wong, who has been attending the
University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor
The girl to-day visited the scene of
the murder in order to select apparel
for her father to be buried in and to
collect some Of his personal effects
The three Chinese will be buried
in this city. Their bodies
will be returned to China later

asked for the same privilege Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover told them it could
not be done and that they should be
willing to make some sacrifices to aid
the country to win the war.
"Mr. Hoover seemed to have every
ones interests at heart except the
producers" he stated. "He treated
them unfairly from the start. He even
went so far as to tell the Allies the
meat supply of the country was much
greater than it was and invited them
TO order as heavily as they desired. He
SO manipulated the situation that Eng

While Mr.. Armstrong was testifying
before the Senate committee he was
asked concerning letters bearing on
his relations to the five big packers
One of these dealt with his purchase
of stock in the Fort Worth "Record."
The witness explained that he had
helped to purchase a controlling in
terest in this paper, advancing $4,000
borrowed on notes Endorsed by Armour
& Co. and Swift & Co.. but denied that
his purpose was to give the packers
control of the paper
Mr.. Armstrong said his purpose was
to change the "socialistic viewpoint"
of the editor, Clarence Ousley, now as
sistant to Secretary Houston. Mr.
Armstrong said he later disposed of
his newspaper stock, and was convinced
now that Mr.. Ousley's ideas of govern
meat were nearer right than were his
own at that time
Henry Vceder, counsel for Swift &
Co.. followed Mr.. Armstrong. He
testified concerning his connection
with the pools conducted by the big
packers for ten years down to 1902.
Formation of pools by the big pack
ers was to prevent an oversuppled
market and to keep prices stable, Mr..
Veeder testified One pool was broken

independent company, flooding the
market, he declared
"But could the small packers break

day." asked Mr.. Henry
