point committee on privileges and elections this afternoon had a heated I disc ussion of the direct primary bill and after a session of two hours ad- I joumed without taking any definite action, deferring this until tomorrow or next week. The regulars lea by Judge White of Seattle, put up a strong fight to retain as much as possible of the convention feature and the party organization. amendment was presented which provides that the presidential electors 1 shall be nominated at regular parry conventions and permits municipal and county or state conventions to promulgate a platform and organize committees. This part of the amendment was not objected to by the direct primary league, as there was no provision made in the league for the nomination of electors. It was insisted, however, that the convention idea go no further.

The proposition that conventions have authority to endorse candidates and the fact of such endorsement being made known on primary day at the polls met with violent opposition. The senate has not discussed the measure as much as the house, where there ape pars to be a strong sentiment retain the convention feature. From the trend of the discussion before the joint committee this afternoon it is probable that the second choice feature will be eliminated and a plurality nomination accepted. Representatives of the state grange and State Federation of Labor were loud for a closed primary where the voter would be handed tickets of the aspirants of all parties. Reuben Jones of the primary league said, however.

that he would not object to the open primary where the voter asks tor the names of his own party candidates. The direct primary bill will probably be passed but nothing teas so far transpired other than here indicated, which indicates very accurately the scope of the measure. OH! WHERE IS MRS. ROOTH? That Is What Largest Audience Ever Assembled to Hear Lecture Want to Know. Considerable grumbiing was indulged in by the audience which did not hear Maud Ballington Booth yesterday evening, after waiting in their seats at the Central Christian church for almost half an hour after the time the lecture was scheduled to begin.

Despite a more or less indefinite feeling that Mrs. Booth might be prevented from reaching the city because of the washouts on the O. R. train, a larger crowd was present than has yet attended any lecture in the course being managed by Whitman college. Neither Mrs.

Booth nor the lecture bureau which has charge of her tour notified those in charge of the lecture here that she would not be able to BM the engagement and it was inferred from this that she would be on hand President Penrose announced last night that he had been wiring to Salt Lnke city and other points in the west day but had not been able to locate Mrs. Booth. Effort will be made to have Booth deliver her lecture here when she passes through here on her return east. Ail taose present were given back their tickets at the door yesterday evening and will have tae same seats held for them that they occupied vestcrday evening. It is surmised that Mrs.

Booth left the O. R. N- train at Athena and started for Walla Walla by team and was stopped by the impassable con dition of the road where it was impossible to telegraph to those in charge of the lecture here. ITALIAN BOY KIDNAPED. Father Had Received the U.u.l Threatening Letter.

Herbert Parsons arc the sentwnents expressed by Mrs. Lydia Commander, i woman suffragisl and author, in a book lannouncement, the publication of which was made today. Mrs. Commander, ho is widely known for her advocacy of tin extension of woman's influence in pubj lie calls her work "The American and she has embodied in it the results of three years' careful investigation in this city. The American race, as now known.

Mrs. Commander declares is disappear- ing. While savages kill their offspring. Americans no longer have them Two children are the limit of the American family.rich or poor, educated or illiterate. Such are some of the assertions she makes, in language startlingly frank.

i In her Mrs. Conimanj der has found, she says, that on Manhattan island children and dogs were classed alike. "We never take either," was the almost universal statement of landlords to her. "The only tenants I will accept are married couples without children." said several house owners. "There is a stretch of fifteen blocks on Fifth avenue," says Mrs.

Commander, "in wh'eh there are only fifteen children. It is here where women have unlimited leisure and fewest children are to be found. I visited twenty-two apartment houses, containing 485 families, in which there were just fifty-four or about one child to every nine families." Work and Motherhood Inseparable. Mrs. Commander attacks those who would prevent working women from becoming mothers.

"It is like asking her to choose between her right hand and her eyesight." she says. "She is entitled to both. A perfect womanhood requires both work and motherhood. "It is a national mistake to put barriers in the way ol capable, energetic women becoming mothers. It is too much like the policy of ancient Greece.

Not from her brilliant women, but from the domestic women, despised and uncultured, came the children. Had freedom and intellectual development been extended to the wives and mothers, who can say how long Greece might have maintained her marvelous production of brain giants?" Mrs. Commander declares there is no place in the world for idle women. "The idle women now maintained are supported at the expense of a working childhood. The wealth that might be produced by women now unemployed, their enegies going to waste, would keep and care for and educate all the million and three-quarters of miserable toiling child slaves who are growing into stunted and dwarfed manhood and womanhood.

The nation can not afford working babies and idle The child has become an economic hindrance and burden, declares the author, because "of our strenuous rush for higher standards of fierce competition for success. Paradoxical as it may seem, the nation is disappearing: in the effort i survive." Writer Herself Childless. Summing up. Mrs. Commander finds that: There is a possibility of a nation retin'-ng and civilizing itself out of existence.

The American ideal family of two is evidently too small. It makes no allowance for the single, the childless, or for the growth of the nation." Lydia K. Commander is the wife of Herbert X. Casson. a magazine writer and lecturer on political economy.

She is prominently identified witti the Equality league of self-supporting women, which has just been formed to obtain municipal offices for woman. The league is unique in that work-ag women of all classes, whether they are lawyers, doctors, teachers or factory employes, are to be banded together to I tight for the common cause. Mrs. Commander has some radical ideas on marriage. She does not believe that a woman should assume her husband's name.

A woman has no business to give up her name, sin says. The word obey has no place in the marriage bond. Mrs. was united to Mr. Casson in a civil ceremony.

She has no chHdren. PAID $450 FOR SLIP OF PAPER. Passenger On Santa Fe Train Swindled by Oldtime Trick. SHAWNEE, o. Feb.
