Senate Passes Primary Repeal Bill, 32 to 18 Measure Provides Part y Couvcntions for State, Judiciary and the U. S. Scuatorial INomiiiat tons Assembly Concurs To-day TTalkrr Says Miller Will; Br Able to Do Anythiiigj Hc Plcases With * Partv j From a Staff Correspondent ALBANY, * April 15. ? Despite the efforts of Senator Thcodore Douglas Hebinson and other progressive mem bers of the majority the Senate to B%ht passed the Whitley direct pri? mary repeal bill, which restores the purty convention system of nominating candidates for the judiciary and state (Uicrs and United States Senator. ,Xhc voto was thirty-two ayes and eighteen noes. The Republicans vot ;ng again*. it. besides Robinson, were Senators Abraham L. Katlin and Max? weli S. Harrison, of Kings; John L. Xarle, of Queens; Fredcrick M. Daven port. of Clinton, and Parton Swift, of Kuffalo. Thc eleven nemocrats in the cham? ber and Senator Edmund Scidcl, So rifeli>t, alsc voted against the repeal. Senator Robinson and other Repub? licans who voiccd their objections against the repeal bill held that it did net fix party rcsponsibility. The pi'in ripal objection to thc bill was the meth? od of eelecting delegates, who are to he selected by petition "behind closed noors*' airi then voted on at the pri naries. Another objection was that there is no nianner of appealing from ihe convention slate. Senator Robinson. in opposing the j enactment of thc measure, observed that the present primary law has been t distinct failure and that legislation ?hould be enaeted which would provide party resnonsibility. "This bil!.*' he said, "is a step in the i nght direction, but. does not go far enough. lt provides for party respon- j sibiiity at the top, but not where it I ?hould be?from thc bottom and all the j way up. I refer to the method of the | se'ection of convention delegates. This measure provides that they shall be se- ? ?ected by petition. By petition of J "-hom? By the so-cal!ed leaders in the I Assembly districts or larger units. It j paves the way for the seiection of delo- > Eates b^hinil closed doors, whereas it : should be made in the open, as it would be if we were to have Assembly dis- i trlct convention?. I. for one, am not j 'raid to bring party responsibility out! i>t the open .and I cannot stultify my- ' ? :.i by voting for this bill."

Wives Help Each Other Divorce Same Husband No. ] and i\o. 2 Best of Friends aml Agree Collective Help mect "Very IN'ioe Man" The two wives of Arthur David Stevens, manager of a chain of get-it ,iick restaurants, have gone about get 'ing their freedom from their collective iusband in the most unostentatious wiy, it was learned yesterday. Mrs.; t'idwell J. Stevens, of 105 East'Xinety- ''? seventh Street, wife Xo. 1, sued for a divorce naming Mrs. Sadie L. Stevens, of 184 Xew York Avenue, wife Xo. L'. as corespondent, whiie * the latter hrought an action to annul her owr. , marriage to Stevens. The two wives failed to show the least bitterness toward each other when they learned the truth. The di v'Otce suit and the annulment suit were tried yesterday before Justice McCook and one Mrs. Stevens helped the other toward getting a decree. They left the court room together, after the Mief hearings, on the best of terms. j in fact they both agreed that Mr. Ste- j vens was "a very nice man." Mrs. Stevens Xo. 1 testified that she matried the defendant in 1911. She ?tas a nve-year-old son. Mrs. Stevens ?atd that the marriage of her husband to his other wife may have been due ' to tne belief that he was free to do so, os she, the original wife, had begun an aetion for divorce, although she never orought it to a final determination. Mrs. Stevens Xo. ?.' testified that she married the defendant in August, 1920, atter he had represented himself as a aingle man. -Justice McCook reserved decision, ??ut in view 0f the non-appearance of ar. Mevens, decrees in both cases will i.ojlow.

Aiiti-Trespass Bill To Protect Crops Goes to Governor Farmers and Sportsmcn Win Fight at Albany; Senate Calls for Legal Holiday on Roosevelt Aimiversary -.? From a Staff Correspondcnt ALBANY, April 16.?-The Betts tres- I pass bill aimed at persons who loot j and damage crops, fruit and livestock, j passed the Senate to-day unaniniously. j The measure has already passed the ! Assenibly without a dissenting vote and now goes to the Governor. The bill provides for a fine of $50 for each trespass. Half of the fine ! goes to the owner of the land and half ! ? o tne community. Provision is made for damages where the trespasser has caused loss. The passage of the mcas- ' ure by the Legislature terminates al long nght made by farmers and I fiportsmen. The Senate also passed, 32 to 17, the i Smith bill, which amends the night statute for women by providing that women proofreaders mav be employed between the hours of 10 o'clock at night ar.d 6 o'clock in the morning. The Lusk bill, which increases the pay of the chairman of the State Tax Comrnission from $8,500 to $12,500 and that of the other two members of the comrnission from $8,000 to $10,000, was passed by a party vote. Tiie Senate wciit to work with a will to-day and disposed of many measures. Among rcsolutions adopted were the Katlin resolution making October 27. Theodore Roosevelt's birthday, a legal holiday; th-a Straus measure creating a legislative committee to investigate motor vehicle legislation, and the Lock wood resolution extending the life of the joint legislative housing committee until March, 1922, and appropriatinc $25,000 therefor.

Mr. Rogers, whose home is in -North Carohna, was appointed earlv in tne Wilson Administration. Assembly Votes Graft Inquiry Here, 101 to 38 (Continued frem flrtt ????) asked Assemblyman James T. Carroll. "Yes," sn-td Wells. Assemblyman .lohn R. Crews, who also waB on his feet, fired at. Wells: "Who gave you the right to speak for Kings County?" Wells hesitated a bit and then said cryptically: "Because of the general situation, as it is known in military parlance. Be? cause the majority rules." Assemblyman Steinberg was then rocognized. "Conditions in New York City are so : corrupt, ineftVeicnt and cxtravagant," he said, "that an investigation is nec? essary to let. the people know the whole truth. Nothing must be hidden. One of the manifestations of the i'n efficiency of the Board of Estimate was its rcfusal to appropriate $27,000,000 necessary to maintain tl.e public schools. "We find the departments of tho Hy? lan administration askinc for investiea tions and countor-inyestigations. Dis? trict Attorney Swann has not ncted. It was left for a former Governor, a Republican, Charles S. Whitman, to do this work. "We find the Comptroller charging the Mayor with inefficiency, and the Mayor counlering on the Comptroller with a like charge. We see departments arrayed against departments. lt is time the people were given the whole truth. And the decent elcment in New York City is demanding that this be done." A Tammanv Assemblyman. Teter Hamill, who succeeded Alfred E. Smith as the Representative of the 2d As? sembly District, attempted ridicule, likening the investigation to a ouija board. Assemblyman Charles D. Donohue, Tammany leader of the House. was more temperate than his followers in urging the defeat of the Meyer reso? lution. "I am confident." he said, "that no member of the Democratic party will be found to be implicated in* graft or incompetency of government, but I do feel that the investigation is a waste of the public money" and should not bc permitted. "There is absolutely no question in the minds of any one here that this investigation is proposed for politieaj nurposes only. It is hoped that by this inquiry something may be found to aid the Republican party in the. next election. Even for this purpose the inquiry is futile. The committee will uncover nothing of any moment, of thnt I feel certain, and tho result will hu quite. different than that for which the investigation is proposed by the gentlemen of the majority party in this Legislature." Thc debate was closed by Majority Leader Adler who declared that no one had denied the truth of the charges set forth in the preamblc of the resolu? tion. "lt is a matter of common report that there is great waste and corrup tion in the government of the City of Xew York," he continued. "No one has or can deny that. "This inquiry is not for political pur poses. It has as its purpose the clear ing up of the mist and haxe of doubts and suspicions of their city govern ment entertained by the people of that! city. "This committee will lay the facts before the people. and that is what the : people of that city want tO:be done." The vote then was taken. - Craig Will Aid Board i In City Graft Inquiry Comptroller G others Data on Three Questions and Expects j To Be an Important Witness Comptroller Charles L. Craig de- ? clared yesterday that he stood readyj' to assist the proposed legislative com- ] mittee in every way he could in its j investigation of the city government. Mr, Cra-iff expects to be an important witness before the committee. lt is understood that he is nt present work ing upon three distinct matters which > he expects to present to the committee. : and which he, believes they will find ; to be of some importance in their in- j quiry. One of these matters has to do with alleged irregularities in the. Borough ? of Queens. Another pertains to the city's finances. with particular refer-i' ence to the department of the Citv Chnmberlain. Thn third matter will he discloscd at. the proper time. Com mcnting on tho investigation yester? day, the Comptroller said: "There has been so much talk about irregularitios nnd wrongdoing in the city and county offiqes from the time of the Almirall grand jury down to the present that. thc committee creatcd by action of the Legislature will have an unusual opportunity to set at rest any calumnies that mny have been directed against public officers which are found to he without foundation, and, in the cases of wrongdoing, to bring them to book in a way that will permit of no equivocation. "The committee starts under the handicap of the suspicion that it is creatcd for purely political purposes and that no action will be taken by it that does not inure to the. political profit of its sponsors. This is n heavy handicap to overcome, and it will re? quire unquestionable proof of wrong? doing to carry conviction to the public mind under such circumstances. "The committee has broad powers and it will undoubtedlv be afforded every possible facilitv bv municipal and county officers in obtaining any information that <t may deem material to its purposes." Col. Arthur Woods Is Slated to Head Conservation Board Report Becomcs Current Af? ter Pratt Resigns ajid One time Poliee Commissioner j Confers With Governor I From. a Staff Correspondenl. : ALRAXV, April 16.?Colonel Arthur j Woods, formerly Xew York City Police Commissioner, is slated, it was learned to-night, to succeed Commissioner Pratt as head of the State Conserva? tion Commission. Mr. Pratt tendered his resignation to Governor Miller to? day after the Governor refused to re appoint him. The Governor refused either to denv or eontirm the report that Colonel, Woods may be named Commissioner i Pratt's successor. It is gcncrallv re? ported that the ex-New York City Po? lice Commissioner will be given charge of the. destinies of the Conservation Commission. The Governor probably will submit his name to the Senate late ! to-morrow afternoon, together with the ; names of those whom he is to appoint : to the Xew York City Rapid Transit Commission, the State Public Service i Commission and the new State. Tax j Commission. Commissioner Woods was in Albany to-day and had a conference with the Governor. Wiiliam A. Pvendereast and John j Lord O'Brian, of Buffalo." are men- I tioned for the chairmanship of the ! Public Service Commission. Mr. j Prendergast is an ex-Xew York Comp- | troller and Mr. O'Brian for years j has been prominent in public life and | Western Newj York Republican poli- I tics. He was a candidate for the Re publican nomination for Governor last \ fall and a member of the 1915 Con- j stitutional Convention. Others men- j tioned for the commission are Eugene ! Van Voorhis, of Rochester, and Charles S. Blakeslee, Corporation Counsel of j Binghamton. As far as the Rapid Transit Com- I mission is concerned, Leroy T. Hnrk ness, George McAneny and Major Gen- ! eral John F. O'Ryan are still being ! mentioned as the men most likely to | be selected by the Governor to carry : out the work of solving Xew York City's transit tangle. In respect to the I new State Tax Department it is prob able that the Governor will name ex- ' State Senator Walter W. Law, of West- I chester. County, for the chairmanship. It is raid that Walter H. Knapp, who up to last year was chairman of the I State Tax Commission, will be named ' and that John J. Merrill, member of j the present commission, will be reap pointed. -__??_?_ Hunts Lost Radium in Sewer i Kin of Hospital Patient Tossed $6,000 Tube in Basin TOLEDO. Ohio. April 15,?

Four young bandits robbed two mes sengers of the Chicago Clearing House of $638,000 in checks while the mes scngers were traveling on a local train. As thc checks all bore the Clearing House Rtamp, indicating that they had been paid once, bankers said it would be virtually impossible for the thievea to obtain cash for them. Cashier Slaytt Bandit In Cicero, a suburb, $40,000 in loot was recovered when S. B. Witowski cashier of the state bank, called the police by stepping on a burglar alarm and then opened fire cn six highway? men from tho cover of a vault into which hc had been driven. One of the robbers escaped in an automobile. Witowski killed one man and wounded two others. according to his own story although the police claim the credit for wounding one of the thieves as he tried to escaptj over a wall back of the bank. When the thieves entered the bank they herded Witowski, another official ot the bank and about a dozen custom? ers into the vault, while one of their gi'ng went into the cages and scooped the money into a sack. In the fighting melee that* followed Witowski's first shot, one policeman was slightly in? jured in a running light. The police tired at the lone thicf escnoing in the auto, but apparently without hittine him. Train Hold-up Well Planned The hold-up on the train evidentlr had been carefully planned, and wen't Through without a hitch. Kugene Oldenwaldt, eighteen years old, and Edward Sundcrmacher, twenty years old, the messengers, left the Clearing House about 8 o'clock with the checks which they carried in handbags. They walked to the Randolnh Street Termi? nal of thc Illinois Central, where thev boarded a suburban train' to go to l'ifty-third Street. This is an express train they take every day while mak mg their rounds. The bank runners made their way to the hrst coach. behind the engine. Four other passengers and the conductor were in the coach. As the train pass?d Sixteertth Street. four armed, voung, ?roughly dressed men entered the car from the rear. One of them held up the conductor, who obeved without causing a disturbance.
