"a deceptive change OF pace. In adj.

Despite all this he has not been
able TO win with any degree OF con.

DEMOCRATIC PLOT
Charges They Intend to Vote
In Republican Primary
September IL.

ESCANABA, Mich, July 27.-Sen-
ator Townsend opened fire tonight
on another alleged conspiracy Of
Democratic leaders in Michigan to
manipulate the selection of a Re-
publican candidate for Senator in
the Republican primary Septem-
ber IL.
Speaking in this important rail-
way and labor center. he defended
the Esch -Cummins transportation
act. including the creation of the
Railway Labor Board. The Senator
assailed reputed maneuvers of
Democratic leaders to further the
candidacy of Herbert Baker, a rad
ical Republican. for the Republican
nomination.
Mr.. Townsend charged that Demo-
Gratis are preparing to vote In the
Republican primary with a view TO
bringing about the nomination OF
Baker. There is no contest in the
Democratic primary. which VIII
name former Gov. Ferris.
Particular significance was given
to these charges by the Senator at
this place because William Finne-
gan, who formerly was a member
Of the Democratic State central
committee. was the chairman of the
Grand Rapids meeting OF the Pro-
gressive Voters League, which
launched the movement for Baker.

FIRST FOUR POLICE BOOTHS
TOBE OPENED AUGUST l
Besides Affording Better Protection They Will
Stop Fugitives Fleeing City.

Brown public school grounds. Con-
necticut avenue and Northampton
street northwest. Seventh precinct;
and one on the Walter Reed Hos
pital grounds at Georgia avenue
and Butternut streets. Tenth pre-
cinct.
The booths will be equipped with
telephones connecting with the
precinct stations and will at all
times have two motorcycle police
within reach. One of these police
men will do patrol duty while the
other remains at the booth.
Plans as at present call for three
shifts. beginning at a. m, 4 p. M.
and midnight.
The booths have been recently
completed under direction of the
municipal architect. They are by
feet in size and feet high. Each
contains a wall desk and a closet
The new booths mark the first
step in a program calling for in
creased police protection for the
suburban sections. 1t is expected
that policing will be greatly
speeded up and that emergency
calls for help will get quicker re-
sponse.
One of the features of the new
plan is locating the booths on sew
eral of the leading arteries of travel
out of the city. The escape of law
breakers down these roads will no,
be so easy under the plan. Other
booths will later be placed on
other points of egress.

NOTED to the position Of clerk by
the President yesterday. Despite
the nonconcurrence of the Civil

this instance waived the rule pro-
hibiting the promotion OF messenger
girls to such positions, on recon-
mendation OF Secretary OF AgricuI-
ture Wallace
Miss Robertson was given her
place primarily because the powers
that lie were anxious to help her.
She is the chief support of her
mother. a widow with four children
younger than Elsie. Given extra
clerical work. she acquitted herself
so well that the Secretary asked the
President to make the promotion.
Although the girl is said to have
dcne remarkably well, the Civil
Service Commission was unable to
recommend the appointment because
