Should the Assembly refuse to |adopt joint rules, there is perhaps |one chance in one hundred that |any constitutional amendment |touching the subject of direct {nominations will be submitted, | problematical submission of an | amendment that will be satistactory to ‘r‘.n one save the practical politicians, { who are on principle opposed to direct | primary legisiation. | SENATE SAVES ITSELF E There is more than direct primary | legislation inyolved, the question of | joint rules, but none of such impor- jtance to the people. The Senate is in | @ position to assert with every color ot | fact and apparent good faith that it has | performed its part in the preparation of |21l the legislation on which the two bodies differ. The machine end of the Assembly has wittingly and unwitting- {1y plaved nicely into the Senate’s hand, |and now the Assembly must come through or ackept responsibility for the defeat of legislation in which the peo- ple of the State as a whole are directly interested. Fortunately for the Senate and un- ortunately for the Assembly, as it may be, and unfortunately for the people, | the Assembly has permitted the direct primary act to be the pivot on which | the differences are to turn. The Senate | went into caucus and made the Held- viso tying the Legislature to the pres- ent primary law until a direct primary law should be enacted a party measure. The Democrats in the Senate attempted to play palitics with it and failing, as they knew they must fall, to tinker the amendment in any way, voted for it. The proviso did not suit either the Pardee men in the Assembly or the few who thought they might be deprived of a chance to make thé present law man- datory in a county or two. Some of the Pardee men dodged the vote, but more of them stald and helped draw the lurid pictures of the horrible fate awaiting the people if the present intermediary primary law could only be changed for a direct primary law. The result was a sufficlent number of votes to prevent concurrence in an amendment to 1a measure that would give the Senate a greater leverage upori the lower houss than any one measurs pending at this session.

The Yorktown had been ordered to Magdalena Bay to protect American interests in troubled Central Amerieca, but just before starting it was found that her boilers were leaking badly. and examination showed that eleven rivets had been removed, apparently deliberately. Had the Yorktown been allowed to proceed it is stated that the Benning- ton horror would have been duplicated. | The flagship Chicago was dispatched south in place of the Yorktown. —_— FIFTH WIFE DISCOVERED Herman Boshaw, Muchly Married, Will Be Tried in Buffalo CHEYENNE, Feb. l5.—Herman Bo- shaw, arrested on a charge of bigamy, consented today to return to Buffalo, N.

When | Senator Aldrich in New York heard of today by James.Morley, for more than five years valet to the young | the President’s threat he sent wWord millionaire. Morley arrived in Boston today the steamship Saxonia from London on | his way to New Yor¥ to offer himself | as a witness for the defense. He ex-| ‘hibits a knife wound on the right| wrist about four inches long and a| bullet wound in the leg, inflicted by his young master, the former valet de- clares, in fits of passion, to which he | was stirred by imaginary wrongs. | That Thaw's incentive to the slaying | of Stanford White was due not alone | to his insane jealousy of the architect, | but to the machinations of a swindjer | named Mariette, Who held the youns | | ! millionaire In the grip of a strange personal influence, is the statement which Morley says that he is pra;iared to prove. The former valet did not leave the employ of Thaw until some time after the latter's marriage to Evelyn Nesbit. He was the young Pittsburger's body servant during the period of his wild- est dissipations and during the years of his ardent wooing of the artist model. Morley knew more Intimately than any other person Thaw's habits of conduct. He was made a confidant by his young master, and will, if he is called to the stand, tell many things that will more clearly let in the light upon Thaw's mental condition and upon the why and wherefors of the roof garden tragedy. one | Mariette followed Thaw to New York | Morley was hired by Thaw as valet nearly years ago in Pittsburg when out of employment and sorely in|{ need of assistance, and the Kkindness of his young master at that time, he put him under such obligations that he has gladly come across the sea | to aid him. | “I love Harry dearly,” sald Morley thbday, “in spite of his remarkable con- | duct at times toward me. He was very generoys and very kind when he was| himself. But he was of a sort of a| Jekyll-Hyde nature ever since he re]l; into the cluches of a French hypnotist | named Mariette four or five years ago | in Pittsburg. This man, wio has| swindled Thaw out of immense sums of money, changed him completely. | +1 seven says, and continued to hold him in his grip. Hé came to Thaw's room very often and Harry was with him everywhere about town. “At_one of the clubs Mariette had trouble with Stanford White and be- came his bitter enemy. It was about the same time that Harry became deep- ly in love with Evelyn Nesbit. The attentions of White to her were made capital of by Mariette in his purpose of setting Thaw against the architect.” NEW YORK, Feb. 15—District At- that unless Senators Tillman and Ba- {con agreed to permit the immigration bill to come to a vote by Saturday night clauses in the river and harbor bill pertaining te South Carolina and Georgla would be stricken oul Within an hour an agreement was | reached among the Senators for a vots on the bill before adjournment tomore row. ALL FALL BEFORE CLUB The steamship companies heard tha# | Tillman and Bacon were wavering, and word was sent to certain Senators that they must rally the assistance of the Southerners. Thereupon two Res, publican Senators attacked the bill, and are expected to be joined by others to- morrow. But the bill will pass. There will be no extra session. Sena- tor Aldrich will leave for Europe, as he had planned. immediately after March & Mayor Schmitz was called to the State Department this morning.
