(SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN.) ALBANY, March question Whether new primaries should be ordered was submitted by Gov. Dix to the Logls- lature to-day for its decision and action. With his message Dix sent to the Senate letter which was addressed to him lay Charles H. Duell, chairman of the Roosevelt committee. In a preface 'to the letter in his message Gov.

Dix Bays: "Complaint has been made to me by the Victims. Police Break in Door to Find Bodies on the Kitchen Floor. William P. Schmidt, wealthy bachelor-real estate dealer, who owned the Sen-' nie building nt No. Graham avenue, in which he had his suite of offices, was foun tldead.

parity dressed, to-day, on the floor of the kitchen in his home on' the second floor of a brick dwelling at No. 415 Graham avenue. A few fpefc away lay the fully body of a dead woman, who. the police say, was Emily liotz. dressmaker.

34 year old, who lived at No. (Stll Grand street. Both had been asphyxiated hy illuminating gas. which escaped from a small gas heater attached to the water boiler of the kitchen range. It was the opinion of the police of the Herbert street station that death was purely ac-' cidentnl.

Schmidt was the son of the late Fred-' erick Schmidt, a rich German grocer, who was killed about twelve years ngo hy falling from the running board of an open Graham avenue ear in front of his grocery at Graham -avenue "and 'Jackson street. The aged grocer had settled in that neighborhood' many years' before, where lie accumulated land which afterward became very valuable. Williani P. Schmidt was one of four brothers and four sisters. They are all olive, but for some unexplained reason the man who was found dead to-day wag not on good terms with the others.

It was Schmidt's habit to reach hi office at 7.30 a. m. daily, and when he failed to show up to day the John Boyle, decided to go around to Schmidt's house and as-certain What de-. tained him. Schmidt occupied the second floor of No.

415 Graham avenue as his AVhen Boyle got there, he was unable to get any response to re-, peated raps on the door, and detecting the odor of gas, he suspected something had happened and he ran around to the Herbert street police station. Policeman Boyle went hack with hira -and they forced in entrance to Schmidt's apartments. They were met by a volume of escaping gas. A peculiar incident wa small lighted gas burner in the kitchen' and another in a front room. On the, kitchen floor, face down, lay Schmidt partly clothed.

About ten feet away near the threshold of an adjoining room, lay the woman fully dressed. The policeman first opened the windows and extinguished the lights. He next, summoned an ambulance from St Catherine's Hospital. Dr. Hutchinson pronounced the man and woman dead.

He said life had been extinct for several hours. Some time elapsed before the identity of the woman was established. It wa thou learned that Schmidt had known her for several years. She lived in a furnished room and kept much to herself. The police investigated further and learned that Schmidt was last seen alive about 10 i o'clock last night, when he told a friend who greeted him at Graham avenue that he was on his way home.

It in the belief of the police that on the way Schmidt met the woman and they went to a saloon, where tltey had some drinks. It is altogether probable that they were somewhat "nnder the when they reached Schmidt's apartments, where they later succumbed to the gas fumes. It was thought at first that it was a case of double suicide, but the relatives of Schmidt scouted the idea, a did the police. There was absolutely no reason for either of them to waut to die. The stopcock on the emergency gns heater looked as if it had accidentally been turned on.

TO AVOID BEF0RL1AVIS Has Himself Sarrendered by His Bondsman. THEN GETS INTO COURT ON HABEAS CORPUS WRIT Ex-City Chamberlain, Believing Judge Is Prejudiced Against Him, States He Will Use AH Efforts to Go Before Another Tribunal. Charles II. Hyde, former City Chamberlain, was brought before Justice John Woodward, of the Appellate Division, Brooklyn, on a habeas corpus writ today, sued out by his attorney. Mux Stcuer.

Hyde linil been out on $7,500 bail until this morning. About 10 o'clock this morning Hyde's bondsman. Samuel S. McElrny, of No. AS.

West Twelfth street, surrendered him to Warden Fnl-lon. of the Tombs. Almost simultaneously Max Stcuer. Hyde's lawyer sued out a writ of habeas corpus, returnable lieforo Justice Woodward. District Attorney Whitman assigned his assistants Robert S.

Johnstone and Clarke to the case. Deputy Warden Sclteubridge brought Hyde over to Brooklyn. Johnstone and Clarke were ready to argue the case, hut Lawyer Mux Stcuer. after stating the grounds upon which the proceedings were taken, asked for ad journment until Saturday morning. Jus tice Woodward granted the request and set the cose down for argument at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, paroling Hyde in the custody of his counsel until that time.

Hyde smilingly bowed his thanks to Justice Woodward. The grounds upon which the habeas corpus proceedings were begun are that the indictment of Hyde by the Grand Jury of New York County docs not slate facts snftieient to constitute a crime This, so District Attorney Whitman states, is merely a technical claim. Hyd was indicted for bribery and the ta kill of an unlawful fee. in that he accepted a loan of $130,000 from the Northern Bank while he was City Chamberlain. To-day's procediugs were precipitated by the announcement this morning in the Law Journal thitt Suprcmeqoiirt Justice Vernon M.

Davis had been assigned the Criminal Term of the Supreme Court, where is set for next Monday. Reichman and Cnmmings who were tried before Justice Davis, were both convicted. Hyde was a friend and associate of both of the convicted bankers whose cases were tried before Justice Davis. Hyde frankly stated to-day that he will leave no stone unturned to prevent his being tried before Justice Davis, as he feels that he is prejudiced against him. If Justice Woodward decides against Hyde in the habeas corpus proceedings, the case will be taken to the Court of Appeals, and the delay incident to the appeal will probably carry Hyde's case over until after Justice Davis' term in the Criminal Part of the Supreme Court.

Hyde left the court smiling his attorney Max Steuer. SUFFRAGETTES HELD. Must Stand Trial on a Charge of Conspiracy. LONDON. March 28.

New York City. MANEUVER chairman of one of the Republican niitttcoes in New York City that the primary election there, and throughout the State, was a mockery, and that by reason of protracted delay in the delivery of the ballots, in some instances said not to have been delivered at nil. great numbers of voters were deprived of their suffrage.

No similar complaint has been "received by me from any other political party or faction, nor am 1 aware that such general and unsatisfactory condi-: lions in connection with the primary election are alleged to have existed elsewhere than in the Republican primaries in New York City. In order that the Legislature may be precisely informed as to Viwhat has been alleged I quote in full the following communication addressed to me from New York City under date of March 7: The Duell letter carries charges of fraud and asks" the Governor, in the In-torest of "honest politics," to 8ive the matter immediate attention. Governor Dix then says in his message: "This communication was immediately Submitted by mc to the Attorney-General, from whom I received an opinion in the following terms: "'Section 56 the election law, as emended by Chapter 801 of the Laws of 1911, contains broad provisions for judi-' cial review of primary election. It may be doubted, however, whether the power of court of justice, under the provisions 1 of that section, is sufficiently broad to direct a new election in the situation developed in the City of New York, lu order to avoid any question, in cuse it is deemed advisable to hold a new election, it will be necessary amend the statute so as to permit the court, or Justice thereof, to so order, if the facts disclosed warrant such "I am credibly informed, and believe, thut the natural confusion attending the first trial of the new primary system was i materially augmented by an' eleventh- hour decision, in an unsuccessful attempt on the part of the name committee which has complained to me to eotn- pel a rearrangement of the order iu which nunies were to. appear on the official ballot ns proposed by the Board of Elections.

Suit for for alleged libel has lieen brought by the Rev. Daniel ('. Potter, former Supervisor of Charities for the Finance Department, against the Bureau of Municipal Research. The action grows out of statements and publications alleged to reflect on Dr. Porter.

The ease came before Justice Bhiokinur to-day on a motion by the plaintiff t) strike out part of an amended answer, which the court granted. Dr. Porter, who now employed as director of the Hoard of Ambulance Serv-1 li e. cites various statements attributed to the bureau, among which is the fol-' lowiug: Cotutamtller. the-townt- nf Bstt- mate, the Board of Aldermen and the Commissioner of Accouuts are prohibited from auditing payments to charitable in stitutions amounting to about a year, which auditing is left entirely with the Commissioner of Charities, who, presumably, with Dr.

Potter's aid, will conduct all business with them. Dr. Potter's part is emphasized because he has demonstrated his unfitness to represent the city iu-dealing with private institutions, and because he was active in Albany as the representative of some of those private charitable institutions in securing control of this important business by the Charities This faction is against William H. Allen, who is connected with the Municipal Research Department, and is asked. 'As a second cause of action the plaintiff alleges that about July.

1011. the defendant maliciously published certain false, sensational and libelous articles concerning the plaintiff, his practices and profession, based on information and belief. The plaintiff demands judgment for $30,000 in all. Dean Potter represents the plaintiff and George M. Mullnn, of No.

The Board of Estimate to-day tentatively approved the franchise application of the Manhattan Bridge 3-ceiit-fare line to operate a trolley service from Flat-bush avenue and Fulton street, across the Manhattan Bridge. Borough President McAneny, who alone opposed the motion to award the franchise, asked that the board defer definite action until the Franchise Committee considered a comparison of the benefits of the 3-cent line and the Brooklyn and North River Railroad Company offers, but bis motion was lost.

The latter company, represented by Lawyer John J. Kuhn, vigorously op- Iposedjcrrftntlng Uie fnwhise, was specifically pointed out by both the Mayor and Controller Prendergnst that it was not the intention of the hoard to exclude any competing company. According to him. his company could not afford to compete with the 3-cent line, when that company got the short haul across the bridge, while the Brooklyn and North River had to take the "lean" parts of the line through Canal street to the North River. "I guess you'll take it all right," commented the Mayor.

"We look favorably on your offer, but that is no reason for excluding the Three-Cent Line." Almet Reed Latsou, representing the Three-Cent Line, spoke iu its. defense. Additional opposition to the Three-Cent Line was made by a representative of the Manhattan Service Company, who offered to make the same haul as the Three-Cent Line at a flat rate of two cents. Its application for a certificate of convenience and necessity Jiad been refused by the Public Service Commission. LOOT F00 CHOW Battalion of Five Hundred Joins Rebellion.

They again went into the diu-ingroom, and hardly had they closed the door when the commotion was repeated.

On opening the door again they beheld a big rat sitting beside the trap. The girls. Lillian and Mne, screamed and anil quickly the rat, instead of. "making off, sprang nt the party. Everyone scampered into the dining room.
