under the grant TO Congress that body
has the power to regulate primaries.
"The constitution refers to final cleo
tions, not primaries and we can not
conclude that Congress can regulate prt-
maries" he said.
Chief Justice White and Justice Nc
Kerna dissented in part, but concurred in
the result. They opposed the declaration Of
the majority Of the court that Congress
has no right to regulate primary cleo
tions, but declared the Federal corrupt
practices act was grossly misconstrued
by the court below.
In his partial dissent White declared
that the primary and the final election
are so closely related that to admit the
power Of Congress to regulate a final
election must carry with 1t control Of a
primary. He predicted that legislation
by Congress TO nullify the courts declara-
tlon that Congress cannot regulate State
primaries will follow.
The Newberry indictment was based on
the sections 70 the Federal corrupt prac-
tices act. dealing with State primaries
and 1t was this part Of the law that was
held unconstitutional.
White in explaining his concurrence on
the result, despite his partial dissent,
claimed that the conviction should be re-
versed because Of the trial judges
charge to the jury
He declared it "tfe crucial point in
the case and that the Judge para
phrased" things into the State which
were not there.
White claimed that the Government
should be allowed to try Newberry and
his associates again, because of the
judges action.

TIPTON STORE
ROBBED OF $500
Safe Combination Broken and
Evidence Points to Work
of Home Talent.

Special TO me Times.
TIPTON, Ind. May 2.-The safe in the
office of the Ramsey & Havens grocery
here was broken open and $500 taken
early today. Evidence indicated that the
combination of the safe had been bat
tered with a blunt tool until the rob-
bers could get a still sharper tool wedged
In. that the lock might lie pried open.
The job resembled work done by home
talent as 1t appeared that the robbers
knew where everything was located. No
sounds were heard by any one in the
neighborhood. The doors of the safe are
ruined. a cash register in the store also
was pried open.
The robbers went through every desk
in the store. From one desk they OBJ
tained checks, but overlooked 500 In war
savings stamps.
This is the second robbery here with
in two weeks fortnight ago the safe
Of LeavaH & Dates, loan brokers, was
robbed.
The losses of Ramsey & Havens are
partly covered by insurance.

Last Word to Germany
on ReparatiOns.
FRENCH ARE PREPARED

/ LONDON, May 2.-The allies Will give
Germany a respite of twelve days in
which to accept or reject the allied in
demnlty demands, Premier BRAND of
France announced this afternoon.
PARIS, May a.-The occupation of the
Rubr district of Germany viii begin May
12. according to London dispatches print
ed in the Paris evening newspapers. Pre-
mier BRAND estimates that it Will re-
quire that much time to make certain
necessary preparations.
LONDON, May 2.-FinaI plans for the
allies ultimatum to Germany were
worked out at a conference at the Brit
ish foreign office today. just before the
supreme council reassembled. -Four Of
the allied powers were represented at the
foreign office meeting, as follows:
France Premier BRAND.
Great Britain-Earl Curzon, foreign
secretary.
Italy-Count Sforza, foreign minister.
Belgium-M. Jasper. foreign minister.
Immediately after the conference broke
up the allied statesmen departed for
Downing street for the formal sitting Of
the supreme council.
ALLIES PRESENT
UNBROKEN FRONT.
The allies presented an unbroken front
to Germany today on the question OF In
demnity and the methods by which Ger
many will be forced to pay.
II was understood that the amount Of
reparatlons demanded, based upon the
recent decision Of the reparations COM
mission in Paris, would be 1872 900, 900, 900
gold marks, exclusive Of the 1900, 900 900
gold marks held to be due from Ger
many by May l, 1921, under the treaty
terms.
The decision to give Germany more
time was a technical victory for Premier
Lloyd George and Count Sforza. the
Italian foreign minister. who opposed
immediate military occupation Of the
Ruhr district. Despite the delay, in
formation was received from Paris that
the French office vas showing great ac-
tiyity and that all was in readiness for
the movement OF French troops into the
Ruhr on minutes notice.
MUST DIsARM AND
TRY WAR CULPRITS-
In levying their final demand for pay
ment of indemnity the allies are serving
notice upon Germany that she must dis
arm In accordance with the terms of the
treaty OF Versailles and the Spa protocol
and must try her war culprts.
Allied statesmen declared that the bill
worked out by the reparations commits
sion is moderate, although Germany has
already protested against some of the
statements The amount assessed for
German war damages was 1872 100000 900
gold marks and this sum together with
the l2,000000,000 gold marks upon which
Germany defaulted payment brings the
aggregate total to 144 900 900 coo gold
marks, or S34,2T2. .000000 However. this
does not include interest which will be
levied over a term of years. 1t was as
sumed generally that the principal and
interest would bring the whole amount Of
German indemnity TO approximately the
sum set by the Paris decision, namely
10000, 100000 gold marks exclusive OF a
IL per cent. tax upon German exports.
Fears of a split between the allies have
been completely dissipated and from now
