Democrats Quick to Take Ad- vantage of Troubles of Re- publican Leaders Primaries Begin in April
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Herald.

Washington, February 22.-lSpe- ciaLl--It is lamentable state of affairs as far as the republicans are concerned.
 They win have to go to the people with most important legislation still pending before Congress.
 It is true that their leader in the House, Representative Mondell of wyoming. declares that whirlwind finish will be made. But the rank and file admit that his dream is a roseate dream-but only a dream.
 The first primary will be held in April. Illinois congressman. at that time will have to face their consu- tuency at the polls. Thereafter. there will be primaries every month until the month of the general elections November.
 The Tariff ImpaSse
 From the standpoint of the repub- lieans, the situation is doubly des- perate because there is no hope that work will be completed irrespective of whatever efforts are made.
 There is the tariff. The House and Senate cannot agree on bill The House insists on enacting legisla- tion involving American valuations. The Senate contends that were the republican party so to go on record, the party would be swept from power. For American valuations would cut off importation, and without impor- tation. enough money cannot be gathered at the customs houses to pay the routine expenses of govern ment.
 And there Is the soldiers bonus. The republicans can agree that the bonus should be voted But the two Houses are as far apart as the poles respecting the form of taxation that is to be levied for the payment of the bonus. Whatever scheme they de- wise will be fought by democrats un- less they determine to tax the rich rather than the poor. And the re- publicans will never agree to increase surtax rates on excessive incomes, or profits
 Question of Subsidy
 And there is the vexatious problem involving a subsidy in favor of Amer ican shipping. The President would impose a subsidy of s30,000,0 ,000. The democrats contend that that sum would represent gift to "big bus mess" It would not reduce tax ation to the American public. It would not put necessities into the hands of the American public at less cost.
 It would enable American ship owners to pay wages on the American scale as contrasted against the scales of other nations, But there is noth- ing in law requiring American ship operators to employ American labor. They could employ British labor and

in bringing to trial the murderers of the church rector and choir singer.
 Tine bodies were found in Somerset county, few steps across the boun- dary line of Middlesex county. The line runs from Raritan river south along a tiny brook that crosses Easton avenue. on the outskirts of New Brunswick It bisects the deserted Phillips farm near De Russy's Lane, and where the brook disappears and the dry bed ends it is merely an imag- mary line through the thickets.
 Were the victims shot down at the spot under the crabapple tree in Som- erset county where their bodies were found?
 Where Were the Shots Fired?
 If so, were the slayers standing in Middlesex? Were the shots fired across the county line? If so. legal complications may follow.
 One bullet pierced the rector's head and probably killed him instantly. Three bullets struck Mrs. Mills in the head, but did not pierce her skull This. thinks Detective George D. Tot ten of Somerset, may prove that Rev Hall was shot first at close range and Mrs. Mills at longer range, perhaps while she was running in an effort to escape.
 The bullets must have killed her in stantly. yet her throat was cut. Was it before or after the shooting? Prob ably afterwards, thinks Detective Fred David Of MiddleseX
 This mutilation, according to the theory of Miss Florence North, law yer-detective working as the friend oi { 16-year-old Charlotte Mills, daughter of the murdered woman, was in fiend ish jealousy over the choir singers voice.
 Another supposition is that the vic tims may have been slain in or near ! the deserted house 10 yards away. Or in the barn. Or in neighboring Buc cleugh Park Were they then carried in automobiles and laid out under the crabapple tree?
 This would support the story of Itu MCbdDc, anu HIS Nlle MTS hdlu erine McCabe. The former is bridge. tender at the Landing Lane bridge across the canal and river, quarter mile from the spot where the bodies were found. They agree that 11:4O the night of the crime they heard d woman's screams-three screams, the last piteOus vail, few minutes apart
 The first screams came from over the hill in Middlesex county. The last seemed to come from Somerset.
 And woman neighbor in George street. near Landing Lane, says she saw two automobiles whZz around the corner fDm the direction of the deserted farm. Another woman in the Home for Incurables, in Easton aven- ue across from the farm, says she heard shots

BONAR JAW |S SELECTED AS
 PARTY LEADER
Motion to Elect Bonar Law as Party Standard Bearer
 Carried Unanimously

LONDON, Oct. 23.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)- The unionists today elected Andrew Bonar Law leader of the party prelim-ry to his accep- tance of the call of the king to the office of prime minister.
 Representative members of the par ty from both the house of commons the house. of lords met this afternoon for that purpose. Sir George Younger who had much to do with the over throw of Lloyd George, presided and recommended the selection of Mir Bon ar Law as the party's standard bearer
 MT. Bonar Law was not present at the opening of the proceedings and Lord Curzon suggested that as the ob- ject of the meeting was already as- sured it was absurd that he should not be present. He therefore propos- ed that even at the cost of some blush es to him, MT Bonar Law be invited | to hear the whole proceedings, MT. Bonar Law forthwith entered.
 After an elaboration of MT. Bonar Laws merits as a statesman, Lord Cur zon described the suggestion made at the Carlton club that the unionist in. tended to embark on a policy of reac tion as nonsense, and insisted that the i 190 men who at the Carlton club meet ] ing voted against the coalition were no more reactionaries than the 90 who voted in the opposite sense. Neitt CT he added, were they. as described by Mir. Lloyd George, representatives 1 of Belgravia and Mayfair.
 l He was convinced that if Bonar Law was chosen, stability would be his watchword, not ensation-sobriety rather than fireworks In the present | troubled state of the world, peace was only recoverable not by startling ol dramatic strokes, not by policy oi
 naughty isolation, but by complete i mcnt cooperation and good will.

WEBB MERCHANT
 DIES AS FLAMES
 DESTROY STORE
Body of T. J. Bowen Found Near Door of Ruins; Brother
 Has Narrow Escape

T. s. Bowen. storekeeper and post master at Webb. in the Sulphur Spring Valley. was burned to death in a fire that destroyed his store at an early hour yesterday morning.
 Sheriff Joe Hood went from Tomb stone to Webb to investigate the fire. He said that the fire started about four o'clock in the morning and the building was mass of flames before it was discovered. A brother of T. s. Bowen. T. J. Bowen, an elderly man, was sleeping in the rear of the store and when he awoke his room was fill ed with smoke and flames. He just had time to make his escape out the book door and was unable to get word to his brother who was sleeping up stairs
 The body was found lying just in side the front door. It is thought that he tried to escape from the building either by the front door or from the front window upstairs, directly over the door. and was overcome by the flames.
 Sheriff Hood stated that there was no evidence of any foul play as was at first reported. The steel strong box. with all contents, was recovered from the debris.
 Bowen had been resident of the valley for the past 12 or 15 years and owned homestead there, as we'll as conducting the post office and a gen eral merchandise store. He has rela, times in the east
 An inquest was held yesterday by Coroner O. D. Harris, of the Webb precinct, but had not been completed last evening and adjournment was taken until this morning.

ani eventful character.
 Previous to the breakdown of his health. which forced him temporarily to retire from politics Mir. Bonar Law was a very close friend of MT. Lloyd George and was identified with the entire coalition policy. u is therefore practically impossible that he can in any important measure reverse this policy Thus unless MT. Lloyd George should take strong turn in his policy there will be little difference between the policies of the two men.
 The contest seems likely to be one Of personalities of men, rather than measures so far as these two parties are concerned. The free liberals and the laborites have, of course, we'll de- fined policies and. according to pres ent indications, are resolutely opposed to any cooperation with Lloyd George even should the former premier seek recognition with either of them.
 If the elections are held on Novem- Der 15, parliament will be able to re- assemble by the 20th, but several days will be consumed in swearing in the members, electing the speaker and de- batting the reply to the kings speech which, it is expected will contain on. ly one legislative item. namely. the Irish constitution. Thus, there will be very few days left to debate the Irish bill, and the prime minister will probably invite the house to pass it practically without debate as an agreed measure.

 Major General James G. Harbord deputy chief of staff also addressed the association, launching an attack on pacifism.
 War for us seems fairly remote at this moment" he said. Last month the commanding general Of the district of Washington put on little demonstration of an infantry attack. It was a good show, witnessed by probably 10000 people. At it's close
 the general was waited on by two
 ladies who asked where the next one would be held. They said they be longed to woman's peace organiza- , ton and he was making war look so attractive that they wished to put on a rival meeting next time, to counter

RESTS IN
 JOINT TRIAL LIN
 MURDER CHARGE
Trial of Three Persons in Connection With Staying
 Movie Actor Underway

HACKENSACK, N. J., Oct. 23. - Consuming but one court day, ln which 45 minutes were given to the selection of a jury, the state tonight rested it's case in the joint trial of George Cline. motion picture location director, Miss Alice Thornton ana Charles ScullIon, brother-in-law Of Cline, for the murder on August p of John Bergen, motion picture actor.
 The court reserved decision on the admissability of two notes offered in evidence by the state. One was said to be the dying statement that thls was frame-up.' and the other was a note said to have been found on Bergen after his death which read:
 George Cline killed me"
 A motion made by defense counsel to dismiss the indictment against Miss Thornton and Scullion on the ground that the state had produced no evidence to connect either with the crime, was denied.
 The principal witness for the state was County Detective Nathan Allyn, who testified to two statements made by Miss Thornton. One, he said, was taken by him at hotel in Fort Lee on August 2S before Miss Thornton was arrested and the other was made by Assistant Prosecutor McCarty in his presence after she had been ar rested.
 In the latter statement. Detective Allyn testified Miss Thornton stated that when she went to the Cline home on the night of the murder, Mir. and Mrs. Cline were there. Bergen and Mrs. Cline were sitting in corner and the latter said to Bergen: Jack, I wish to tell my husband because of the children
 This statement, he said, referred to alleged improper relations between Mrs Cline and Bergen Then Cline said to Bergen:
 have it.
 Bergen answered, according to Al ! lyn's version of Miss Thorntons state ment:
 Yes, it's the truth. What are you going to dc about it?"
 To this Cline replied: We'll have it out upstairs And | Bergen answered.: ~ ~
 ''No, we will have it out here" Miss ! ThorntOn's statement, according to , the witness, was to the effect that i Cline sent Scullion upstairs for a re ! I'olver. The detective testified that Miss Thornton said on Scullion's re ! turn:
 When the men started to go up , stairs, Mrs. Cline attempted to stoI them but I rushed between them anG | held Mrs. Cline back. Bergen and Cline then went upstairs. I heard 6 scuffle, then one shot and Berger came downstairs, followed by Cline As Bergen went out I went into the 1 kitchen to get a drink of water fol l Mrs. Cline and Cline told me to gC home. l went and after I reached home I telephoned to Cline and tolC him had passed Bergen lying on the i street Cline made no answer anC ! hung up the receiver"
 The defense will begin it's case to morrow.
