Today In History
 Slightly Jazzed

Tn the sixth century before the Christian era Aesop flourished and fell. Like many a good man, he over reached himself when temptation came along and ran afoul of the primitive law that says: Tt is not safe to steal less than a million at a time and then you'd better pick on the government.
 Aesop was once a poor boy. AS a matter of fact. he was worse than that. He was the slave of a poor man.
 However. after while. Aesop g master gave him his liberty to save expenses. Aesop put on a three-d day celebration that still is regarded with awe in Samsons, Greece, where red marks still may be observed showing faintly on several public buildings. Finally, however. Aesop was run out of town He went to Delphi and set himself up in the nature falSer busi- ness. His accounts of the doings of lions. mice, tigers, jaclSals and the like attracted much attention then and still are in print After awhile they sent for him to come to Athens and tell a few animal stories and he got into politics.

Abolition of Direct
Primary Is Suggested
Assemblyrnan CaulGeId Says
Legislative Committee Has
Not Decided Issue

Assemblyman James II. Caulfield jr,
of Brooklyn, who returned yesterday
from meeting Of the Joint Legislative
Committee on the revision Of the cleo
ton laws in Syracuse. to sit as a men,
Der Of the Lockwood committee, said
the committee had not definitely de-
cided to recommend the abolition Of
the direct primary. He admitted, how
ever, that the suggestion had been
made to the committee by representa-
tives from upstate sections.
Il do not favor the entire repeal of
the direct primary law" said Assem-
byman Caulheld, "but there is no
doubt that there will be notifications
possibly along the lines Of the old
HinmanGreen law. Certain points in
the present law must be corrected, be-
cause they open the way for political
commercialism."
Mr.. Caulfield said the report of the
committee to the next Legislature
would recommend the elimination of
numerous clerks on election boards
and the reduction to minimum of the
work devolving upon election inspec-
tors. The reduction of printed matter,
talley sheets, etc, required under the
present law will be recommended. The
Assemblyman said the committee
hoped, if the recommendations were
adopted, they would in q few years
time result in the saving of several
million dollars in consumption of paper
and the present overlapping of clerks

with Withholding from the Alien Prop

OF the period OF the war.
Mathew B. Clausen, advertising di-

Rumely had been several times in con-
ference with DR.. Dernberg, DR.. Helm

ably will remain in town tomorrow to
confer with George A. Glynn. chair

1t is practically settled that the Re-
publican leaders will not start any
movement for Legislative investiga-

after the first Of the year, il then.
There is concurrence of Judgment
that it will be we'll for the New York

leader last night. With the indict-
ment of Brindell and the significance
of the Hettrick letter soaking into the
minds of every one, it isn't necessary
for the Republicans to do anything"
1t is generally conceded that Assem-
blyman H. Edmund Machold, of Jeffer-
son County, has long lead in the race
for the Speakership. Joseph A. Nc
Ginnies, of Chautauqua, will have the
support, perhaps, of fine members from
the western end Of the state, but the
feeling seems to be general that Mac

and that there is nothing that is likely
to prevent him from getting it.
County Chairman Koenig returned
yesterday from Atlantic City. He did
not see Judge Miller there. Mr.. Koenig
is not in favor of Legislative inves-
tigation Of the Hylan administration.
He thinks that the Republicans in the
nation, state and city are in good
