IN TEXAS VILLAGE
CBy Associated Press)

KIRVIN, Texas, May 6.-Three ne
groes were burned to death at the
same stake here at 5 o'clock this
morning by a mob of 500 men follow
ing their alleged implication in the
criminal assault and murder of IL
year-old Eula Awsley, white girl,
whose mutilated body was found near
here Thursday night.
SNAP" Curry, the first negro burn
ed, was taken from the custody of

COMSTOCK
CHAIRMAN OF WAYNE
COUNTY REPUBLICANS

Paul Comstock was reelected chair
man of the Wayne county Republican
committee Saturday afternoon at the
meeting of precinct committeeman
who were elected at the primary last
Tuesday.
The vote was close, Comstock's vic
tory being by the narrow margin of
one vote over Lewis c. Niewoehner
The vote stood: Comstock, SO; Me
woehner, 80.
Sixty-five of the Sc precinct COM
mitteemen of Wayne county were rep
resented, some by proxies. Three bal
lots were taken, the first two being
thrown out because of the fact that sc
ballots were cast while only 65 votes
were eligible, one committeeman not
being present in person and failing to
send a proxy. The third ballot fin.
ished the contest and Mr.. Niewoehner
the defeated candidate, made mo-
ton that Comstock be declared the
unanimous choice. The motion pre-
vailed.
Elmer Crull, of Hagerstown, was
elected vice-chairman; Carl Meyers
of Richmond, secretary, and H. Shu
man Jones, of Richmond, was re
elected treasurer

HARDING WITHHOLDS
DECISION ON PLANS
FOR SOLDIER BONUS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 6.-President
Harding, after a conference today with
senate finance committee Republicans,
withheld decision on the soldier bonus
legislation until he can study the vari-
Gus plans proposed.
Chairman McCumber and Senators
Curtis and Watson, of the finance
committee, with Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, the Republican leader,
were closeted with the executive for
more than an hour.
They explained in detail the McCum-
Der bonus plan, which is very similar
to the house measure, and also out
lined the Smoot insurance plan. The
senators said the president had ex-
pressed no opinion, and that they did
most of the talking.
President Harding asked about the
sales tax which he previously had
recommended and was told that this
form of tax could not be put through
congress. Asked whether in their
judgment the president would approve
the McCumber plan, the senators said
Mr.. Harding had given no indication
of his intention One of the senators
said he thought 1t was about fifty

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, May 6.-One of the
questions which will be voted upon at
the primary election in Main next
month which is of national interest is
whether that state shall retain the di-
rect primary system Both the Re
publican and Democratic parties in
Maine have declared in their plat
forms as favoring the re-establish-
ment of the nominating conventions.
In political circles in Washington
there appears to be a decided senti-

is not confined to any particular po-
litical group, either, as it has spread
rapidly since the recent airing of the
Newberry scandal resulting from the
Michigan primary election two years
ago.
In New York state the primary elec.
ton already is a thing of the past.
The legislature in that state, after a
long investigation, has revised the
election laws and this year candidates
for state offices and for United States
senator will be nominated at conven-
Minnesota Scheme
Minnesota has recently develop I'd a
scheme of county delegate conventions
which practically determine the can

statewide primary election, which is
in reality, nothing more than refer
endum of party action. 1t is regarded
as a step which will eventually lead
to a complete elimination of the pri
mary.
1t is recalled that two years ago the
question of resembling the primary
nominating election law in Indiana
was raised. The plan met with con
siderable favor, also considerable op
position, and in the end the legisla
ture passed it up. In the recent pri

MINORITY REPORT
SAYS TARIFF BILL
IMPOSES REAL TAX
(By Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The taxes
that would be imposed by the pend
ing tariff bill would be as real as those
imposed by the revenue bill and prob
ably as great, from three to four bill
ions of dollars, Senator Simmons. Of
North Carolina, ranking Democrat on
the senate finance committee. declares
in minority report filed today in the
senate.
They must be paid by all the peo-
pie" the report says, just as those
in the revenue bill must be paid by all
the people and not by the benefciaries
who have demanded and got them
The people must not only pay the
taxes on imports which go directly in
to the treasury, but they must pay the
resulting increase in prices of all the
things they buy and consume.
Broadly speaking the views Of the
special interests who asked these tax
es and got them and of the people who
pay them different widely in their
pTaisement of this measure and its
effect on the national prosperity.
$50 far as the special interests are
concerned, it goes without saying the
taxes imposed are both satisfying and
comforting.
'On the other hand the people view
this bill as measure full Of mischief
and dangerous possibilities, loaded
with innumerable burdens for them
and their posterity."
