head of the American Red Cross mis-

TO MAT ON PRIMARY LAW
Early Fight Over Proposed Repeal Is
Scheduled in Senate.


Members of the Kansas senate
braced themselves today to so into
fight on the proposal to repeal the
present primary law and go back to
the convention system for the election
of state and congressional officers.
The McClain bill that would bring
about this change was well up on the
calendar under the heading of gen.
erat orders and if the senate finds
time to sit as a committee of the whole
it seems very certain the measure
would be given consideration.
Friends of the McClain measure who
have taken enough interest in it to
talk to the members of the senate
about it assert that there is a strong
sentiment in favor of it and they pre-
dict it will get favorable report from
the committee of the whole. However.
there is considerable opposition to a
repeal of the present system among
politicians and officeholders and they
are expected to take some chips in
the game if they think it necessary to
kill the measure.
The fact that a number of senators
have the repeal of the primary law on
their minds was shown late Wednes-
day afternoon when Senator Kimball
referred to Senator's Gettys opposi-
tion to the present election law. Kim
ball was debating with Getty over the
Satterthwaite indeterminate franchise
bill and urging passage of the bill
Getty was opposing the measure. KIM
ball made the assertion tht Getty was
posing as a friend of the people in
his stand against the measure and ac-
cused him of not being a friend of the
people in wishing to take away from
them the present primary law.

PROTEST TO ]. S.?
Diplomatic Complaint From
England Over Irish.
Home Rule Resolution in
House Is Disturbing.

London March 6.-Foreign Secre-
tary Balfour will be asked in the house
of commons Monday whether diplo-
matte protest will be lodged against
the Irish home rule resolution recently
passed by the American house of rep
resentatives
Some persons, says the Manchester
Guardian, may consider the resolution
on the Irish question passed by the
American house of representatives as
Irrelevant, even as an impertinance,"
but, continues the newspaper, "it is
nothing of the kind. 1t has a very
direct bearing on the fundamental
principles, accepted as the basis of
peace, and it should be regarded not
as gratuitous intervention into our do
mestic affairs, but as a friendly and by
no means unnecessary warning"

SmouIdering fires of resentment
and antagonism broke into a flame in
the house today when that body over
ruled a decision by Speaker Lambert
son and the speaker ordered the SER
geant at arms to arrest Representative
Yount of Cherokee county. Trouble
broke out when the house speaker
permitted the reading of a lengthy
vote of explanation by Mulroy of Ellis,
minority leader. In the fight which
followed the,speaker refused to recog-
nize members who arose to rules of
order, personal privilege or demanded
a permit to speak under their consti-
tutional right
The trouble broke out when the
house on a final roll call this morn
ing threatened to kill the Keene bill
concerning insurance corporations.
Mulroy sent a lengthy statement of his
vote against the measure. The expla-
nation occupied more than minute
in the reading and was many times in
excess of the 100 word statement per-
mitted under the rules.
Endres of Leavenworth sought to
stop the reading, but the speaker di-
rected the clerk to proceed. Then
Endres yelled his objections at the top
of his voice. The member was or

COOK TELLS STORY
Says Broadway Struck Him, Then He
Stabbed With Knife.

Chicago, March 6-Presentation of
evidence in the trial of j. Norman
Cook for the murder of William E.
Bradway on August %, 1918. was COM
pleted today. Cook himself was the
last witness
Arguments are expected to be COM
5pleted by tomorrow noon and the case
given to the jury.
The state succeeded in preventing
testimony purporting to show that
Bradway did not die of the knife
wound inflicted by Cook, but because
he was in poor physical condition
and did not receive proper attention
at the hospital. Judge Kersten said
that the higher courts have held that
in such cases the one inflicting the
original wound not the less guilty.
Cook testified. altho he had been
warned that Bradway had threatened
him, he did not arm himself when he
went to Bradway's home on the night
of the killing. Cook testified that
Bradway kicked him and struck him
in the eye and that during the scuffle
that ensued he stabbed with a pocket
knife. the only weapon he had.
Judge Kersten ruled that medical
testimony designed to show that Brad
way did not die from the knife wound
but from shock and subsequent hos
pital experiments was not admissible
ON cross examination Cook explained
that it had been a mystery to many
persons how he managed to open his
pocketknife while he was defending
himself in a struggle with Bradwav v
He said that he was able to get the
knife, which opened by finger pres.
sure on spring. while Bradwav was
reaching for his hip pocket Witnes,
said that Bradway. after the stabbing
attempted to drag him to a nearby
drugstore.
IF you were assaulted by Bradwav
why did not you go to the police an6
complaint" asked Assistant States At.
torney O'Brien.
Because 1 had to leave town mex,
day and I did not want to take
chances on a night in jail" REPLIED
Cook.
