The executive committee appointed at the conference last Tuesday to draft a primary election bill, met last night at tho Com mercial Club Assembly Room and for three hours discussed the outlines of a bill sub mitted by a subcommittee appointed for the purpose. It. O. Hawkins, member of the advisory committee appointed at the conference, met with the executive com mittee. II. S. New, who was chosen as the permanent chairman of the movement , to get a primary election law adopted by the Legislature, presided as chairman of the meeting. The subcommittee, composed of William Fortune, James E. McCullough and J. A. Minturn made the following re port: "We submit the following as a skeleton of the bill, outlining briefly the subjects to be embraced by it: "1. Primary elections shall be held; when and where. "2. OSlcers of election and how selected; when and how qualified. "3. Supplies; of what shall they consist and how shall they be furnished. "4.

Foil books and tally sheets; counting of votes; returns; canvassing of same. "6. Penalties. "7. Funds or expenses of elections. "8. Voting machines. "9. Emergency. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. "Preliminary to tho drafting of the bill It is desirable that the executive committee should agree cn the fundamental principles of the measure, and as some of the Im portant questions to be determined by you in advance of the writing of the bill we submit tho following propositions, which have been agreed upon either by the sub committee or at the meeting of the cx ecutive committee held on Dec 7: "First The primary election law shall apply to counties of more than popu lation and to such other counties as may by a majority vote adopt it; there shall be provision for voting on the question of adopting it by petition of voters at reg ular elections or number of voters at special elections. "Second The primary law shall apply to nominations for county, township and muni'pal offices. "Th.rd The time of holding primaries shall be the eighth Monday before the final elections. "Fourth So far as practicable the meth ods of conducting final elections shall be applied to primary elections. "Fifth Primaries of all qualified parties shall be held on the same day and at the same place. Parties having less than 10 per cent, of total vote at last preceding election cannot participate in the primaries, but may nominate by petition or conven tion. "Sixth Qualifications of voters: Legal voters In the precinct shall be entitled to vote; the voter may call for the ticket of tht- party with which he wishes to vote and shall receive no other ticket; may be required, If challenged, to make oath of affiliation with the party with which he wishes to vote; there shall 'be provision for preparing ballots in secret; enrollment of voter and party with which he voted. "Seventh Assessment for primary elec tion fund on candidates whose names aro printed on tickets; remainder of expense to be paid from public funds. Names of can didates for each office to be printed on tickets In alphabetical order, provided, if candidates desire to have them alternated aa each name will head list In proportion ate number of ballots. Same shall be done at candidates' expense, prorated among them. "Eighth Nominations to be made by di rect vote. Candidates receiving plurality of votes of each party to be nominees of that party. In case of declination to serve candidate receiving next highest number of votes shall be placed on ticket, provided number Is not less than 25 per cent, of total vote of ticket; in case of declination or vacancies under other circumstances nom inations shall be made In manner deter mined by party organization. v "Ninth Provision for counting the vote of minority townships on county nomina tions. "Tenth Suggestion of separate bill, reg ulating delegate conventions In counties that do not nominate under tho new pri mary election law. "Eleventh Use of voting machines shall be authorized." THE REPORT ACCEPTED. The report of the committee was accept ed after it had been amended and changed in several particulars. The chief point of discussion was over Section 8, providing for the nominaUon of candidates by direct vote. All of tho committee were not agreed on the proposition of doing away with the nominating convention. Some wanted a law that would provide for the selection of delegates by the vote of the people, but they were not In favor of abolishing the convention. The majority, however, were in favor of giving the people a chance to rm.ko the nominations themselves at the primary. Section 8 was reduced to the tirst two sentences, reading thus: "Nomlni tions to be made by direct vote. Candi dates receiving plurality of votes of each party to be nominees of that party." Sec tion 1 was made to apply to counties hav ing a population of not less man SO.tOO and to cities with a population of not less than 10.000. The other blank spaces in Sec tion 1 were left to be filled In by the proper legislative committees. Section 2 was so amended that it will apply to legis lative and judicial offices as well as county, township and municipal offices. It was decided to strike out the last three section: of tho report. The committee will meet again at the call of the chairman. 31 It. AltTMAX IX TOWS. He Denle Hint He AV11I Withdraw from Speakership Ilnee. Representative Artman, who was In the city yesterday, said to a Journal reporter: I have seen an article in one of the daily papers of the city purporting to speak with authority, saying that I will shortly withdraw from the race for speaker and throw my support to Mr. Bonham. There U absolutely no truth in this article, and you will do me a great favor by so stat ing,: Personally, I am a friend of Mr. Bon ham. We were friends during the last session of the Legislature, and will be so this winter. I went Into this race because I wanted to be speaker. I thought, when I entered the race that, with tbe support promised me, I would have a chance to win. and I have no reason to change my opinion now. My friends are coming man fully forward and I am every day much encouraged by the results of thtlr work. I am in the race to win, and if honest ef fort will do it. I will win. I shall cer tainly not withdraw until it Is apparent that my election would bo a party mis fortune. No man can to-day say he is sure of hi election, or that he has enough utcs pledged to wiu. The xnau who says that Is trying to drive, and I know the members of this IIou?e too well to think they can be so dealt with. They come here to do the bct for the State, and there by their party, and will not commit them selves until they have become acquainted with all the candidates and made up their minds, all things considered, as to the beat and most available man. Another thing, the men supporting me have opinions of their own, and cannot be 'thrown.' " . J. D. White Indorsed. The local lodge Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen la?t night Indorsed the candi dacy of J. D. White for principal secretary of the Senate. BODY KEPT IN HEARSE. The Fnnernl Services. However, Were Held In the Church. Albert Zearlng, clerk of the Board of Health, was notified Sunday that the fu neral of Rosetta Spears, colored, who died Friday night, would be held at the An tioch Colored Baptist Church, Thirteenth and Missouri streets, contrary to the law, as Miss Spears had died in a house that was under quarantine with scarlet fever. Her demise was due to tuberculosis but her brother is suffering with scarlet fever. Clerk Zearlng noticed Undertaker Willis and Mr. Spears, the father of the girl, to hold the funeral In private and in the after noon Mr. Zearlng accompanied by a sani tary officer called at the home of Mr. Spears just as the funeral cortege was leaving the house for the church. They were warned to not hold the funeral in public but Mr. Spears ordered the under taker to proceed to the church. Two bi cycle patrolmen were summoned and with Clerk Zearlng met the cortege as it reached the church. Again Mr. Zearlng told Mr. Spears he could not take the corpse into the church and Undertaker Willis refused to move the body into the church, telling Mr. Spears that the pallbearers could move the casket if he insisted on taking the body into the church. Mr. Spears then asked permission to leave the body in the hearse and allow the services to be given, which was permitted. While the services were held in the church the casket remained in the hearse in the street. The body was then taken to the cemetery. POWER PLANT HARMONY IT IS SAID DY PRESIDENT KIXXEY TO BE EXISTENT. Thirty of the Stockholders at n Meet In c The Plan to lie Pursued. About thirty of the men who hold stock In the company organized to erect a power Dlant at Washington and New Jersey streets, held a meeting yesterday at the Dcnlson Hotel. Among the officers and di rectors present were II. E. Coffin and O. B. Jameson. Some of the stockholders have been at loggerheads with the officers and; directors on account of the delay in building the plant. At the meeting yester day, President Kinney was authorized to appoint a committee which will protect the interests of the stockholders In every way. After the meeting President Kinney said that everything was harmonious. It was the original plan of the promoters of the enterprise to start with $150,000 of capital stock. It was the purpose to build a power house with a capacity sufficient to furnish power to establishments In different parts of the city. Mr. Kinney In an address to the stockholders yesterday pointed out that not nearly enough stock has been dis posed of to build the plant. The amount of stock actually paid up is about 3,000. Not enough stock has yet been sold to pay for the real estate, the purchase price of which was 115,500. Mr. Kinney said last night that none of the stockholders will lose a penny even though the plan be final ly abandoned because of an Inability to raise sufficient funds. He says the prop erty is already bringing between 7 and S per cent, to the stockholders on their in vestment. ANNUAL MEETING HELD. Nevr Officers of the Political Equality Society.

U., asking the Political Equality Society to co-operate with the W. C. T. U. in present ing a bill to the Legislature for a suffrage amendment to the Constitution. However, the Political Equality Society decided that it was best to present separate bills, as it does not wish to be represented as a temperance society. Mrs. May Wright Sewall has extended an invitation to the society to meet at her borne before tbe opening of the Legislature to discuss ways and means of procedure in regard to the suffrago bill the society Is preparing.

Harry Sherer Found James A. Hester. Colored, Prowling About Ills House. WIFE KNEELING IN PBAYER WIIKX SIIK HEARD A NOISC AT THE WINDOW SHUTTER. Hester Was Once. Sentenced to the Penitentiary for Darelary De tails of the Shooting. While Mrs. Harry Sherer, of 723 West Torbet, street, was kneeling in prayer be side her couch before retiring last night her husband outside shot four times at a negro who had for some time attempted to gain an entrance to the house, killing him with one of the bullets. For several hours the shooting, which had attracted the attention of the neigh bors, was the subject of conversation and there were many policemen among them who congratulated Mr. Sherer on the ef fective manner in which the operations of the thief or "peeper" were stopped. Tho shooting occurred about 10:30 o'clock, at which time Mr. and Mrs. Sherer had prepared to retire for the night. For at least a half hour before Mrs. Sherer had heard noises on the front walk and at the windows of the sitting room and had called the attention of her husband to them. He told her that there was no one outside, and that she was a victim of her Imagination. So Insistent was she that Sherer went out'1e and found upon look ing about the house that there was no one in sight. Shortly after his return and Just as Mrs. Sherer knelt beside the couch for her prayers he heard the unmistakable sounds of someone at tho window. He had on at that time no clothing but his under wear, and he picked up his revolver and went out the back door. Walking around the house he found the negro at the win dow. He fired and the negro ran while three more shots were quickly fired. Tho negro ran across the backyard. Jumped over a fence between the Sherer and Sol. Erb homes and then across Erb's property, tearing down a well-built wire chicken fence and Jumping or climbing over a fence next to an alley. He then went north in this alley and turned westward Into the alley between Torbet and Eleventh streets and entered, about 100 fect from the Intersection of tho alleys, a vacant stable, where he lay down, and was there found a moment later by Steve Taylor, colored. Taylor lives at 801 West Eleventh street, and was In his backyard at the time of the fihooting. He ran down tho alley and saw the fleeing negro enter the stable. Taylor had a lantern, and when he arrived at the side of the injured man he was able to see that he was about to breathe his last. Sherer. returned to his house, though he had not gone from the j'ard, dressed and then went to a telephone and advised the police, who quickly responded. The negro was, from letters found on his person, thought to be Albert Hester. In letters he had written preparatory, to mailing he gave the address of 2124 Yandes , street, and Captains Kruger and Kinney went to the address to ascertain if possible something of the dead man, while Sherer, accompanied by his father, Edward J. Sherer, and a sergeant of police, went to headquarters on a street car. One of the letters was to S. W. Harris, at Philadel phia, and the writer stated that he had for the past year betn at work in the gas belt and had been back In this city only two weeks. In his pocket was found an open knife. Whether this was ror use In case he was caught or had been used to pry open the shutters on tlv Sherer home, the slats of which had been loosened, and thrust open into his pocket when he ran, is not known. Mrs. Sherer was almost prostrated by the excitement. She told of having heard the noise for some time and of her Inability to make her husband bclievo that she had really heard anything. She also told of having been awakened several times re cently by similar noises. A sl.Uer of Harry Sherer, living on West Tenth street, said her mother was awakened one evening from sleep on a couch by noises at her window, and discovered a .negro with a light soft hat peering In under tho shade, which did not come to the bottom of the window. Neighbors said they had fre quently heard someone about their nouses, though there wa3 nothing to show that the dead man had been about there, as no one had seen him before. The body of the negro was taken to tne morgue, and though not carefully examined, It was thought that but ono bullet, which entered the right side, had taken effect. Hester Has a Record. It was found by the police upon going to 2124 Yandes street that Albert Strange, colored, lived there. Hester had been stop ping there about ono week and little was known of him. Upon the return to the police station it was found that the man, whose picture was in the gallery of criminals, had been ar rested here by Asch and Dugan on April 10. 1S9S, and later sentenced to from one to three years In the State's prison for burglary and grand larceny. There had at that time been a number of burglaries on the South Side and the detectives after watching for a long time, succeeded in catching Hester, to whom about fifteen of the robberies were traced. In most in stances entrance to the hou.es was se cured fn a manner similar to that in which he tried to pet Into the Sherer hom. He then gave the name of James A. Hester and this corresponds with the Initials. "J. A. H." found on the collar worn by him. Sherer was allowed to go home on his own recognizance after the identity of the dead man was fully established. A Work of Art.
