A nation wide presidential primary plan was proposed to the house today by Ht'P reseutiitivo Korris of Nebraska us an nntilodo for "boss" rule in polities. Tho measure Keeks to moid conflict with (lie coitbtitutiou by requiring Unit tho Htato legisluturpH must adopt it n the htule law nud is null unices rati lied by the state. Tim bill provides primaries to bo held on the first Titohduy in May in eleeliou years, nud u putinnul conven tion on the Fourth Monday in dune. At tho primurioK tho voters will bo milled on to express n first and second olioieo l'or president and to ohumm delegates. JJ' upnoui'H that one oniiuVlduto luts u majority in I ho convention by reason of his vietoiies in tho states, that (tnndidulo becomes (lie choice of his putty without notion by tho con vention. If not, the convention selects one, names a vice president, and adopts a pint form. "1 think recent events," Morris baid "lmo clearly deiiioustrutod how it is possible for n well regulated and n well ordered political machine to trample under foot the wishes of the rank nud file of any political party, and there is no way now in existence that wo unit control them. This law would enable volort, to nominate their ennditlatos by direct vole, or, ut least, as near to such uomiuutiou as is pos sible under oousUtutionul limils." OYSTKIl HAY, duly ."). -Speaking upon the tariff, Colonel Uoo&ovolt to day said: "I nut not Mire that the tariff is partly rohponisblo for tho high cost of living. As tar us I can see, the greatest ineroitse.s have been in the oosof eggs, milk and meat. Monop oly is not to blame in my opinion for tho increaso in tho coM of nny of theso exeept meats. "If the tariff should bo removed i'roin tho necessaries of life by tho Dcmoorats, the farmer would bo tho most affected. "If froo trade should be ostabliMiod the money interests would go into countries like Japan nud China and establish factories. There they could employ cheap labor, make goods at u very low cost and ship them into this country to compete with the products of American laborers, underselling American products, LOS ANQKLES, July 5.

A con spiracy today Is alleged to havo been discovered among Turkish officers at Adrlannplc. looking to tho trans formation of European Turkoy Into a ropuhlle. It was nseortainod that tho Turkish officers 'hold a meeting to establish a military dlstatorshlp and proclaim tho republic. Tho wreck was tho worst In the 'history of the roadj whose boast pre viously was no ono had been killed on It since 1900. Tho road officials blame ongineer Schrecdcr. Ho was in tho cab of trnln Xo. 11, which wns running SO miles an hour and crashed through tho standing Buff alo limited. The company officials say the semaphore a anllo distant was at danger. That tho block In which tho limited was stalled was also set against Xo. 1 1 and that flag men from tho passenger train sig nalled to stop the oncoming train half a mllo from tho necldent. Tho engineer says tho distant signal was at "clear" and that he saw no flag man. Ho Insists that tho fog was vory dense, making It almost Impos sible to sco trains ahead. Police admitted today that the dy ing and the bodies of tho dead were robbed as thoy lay In tho open fields bosldo tho tracks. Coronor Smith has dotallod 15 special offlcors to nld deputy sheriff Sullivan In pro tecting tho property of tho victims which was picked up from tho wreck ago and stored near tho temporary morgue. The story of tho wreck was ono of steel cars formed into death trap. Tho great solid train cut through tho wooden day coaches and pulImans like a knife through cliecso, but tho stool pullmnn cars and tho stool day coaches held fast. They woro bent out of shape by the terrific forco of the bow but thoy held intact and their occupants woro not killed. TEDDY ONLY CAN SAVE THE NATION OYSTKK HAY, July 3. That the democratic platform wns for "public consumption" only and that it cannot bo enforced wn- the position taken by Colonel Uoo.sovelt today. Tho ex prc.sident gavo tho opinion Unit Gov ernor Wilson was a free trader and further said: "Either tho democrats will, if elect ed, plungo tho country into ruin by means of free trade or continue tho presont tariff system and wink at their platform and say that it was for campaign purposes only. v lloosoyolt expressed the opinion also that both tho republicans and deinoerats have taken tho wrong po sition on tho (rust question, "Hoth of the.se platforms call for the rigid enforcement of the anti-trust law and both aro wrong," hu said. "1 wits, tho first nud only president that ever rigidly enforced tho anti-trust law. Yet I know that trusts havo come to stay and that the only thing is competent legislation." Hoosovelt denied that ho had of fered the vice presidency of tho pro gressive ticket to Judgo Hen Ljiulsuy of Denver. "Last night it was Ilenoy that thoy had mo picking out as my running mate," ho bind, "Today it i Undsoy, I want to say that I havo not offered the vice presidency to any one," Tho Pacific Tclephono and Tele graph company have sold their local plants in Medford, Jacksonville, Cen tral Point, Gold Hill and Rogue River to the Home Telephone company of this city. The consideration was not made, public. The deal was consummated on Wednesday afternoon nt a meeting of the board of directors of tho Home Telephone and Telegraph company. The toll line or long distance scrvico of tho Pacific company is not passed to the Home company by this ar rangement. In a great many places the Pacific company has transferred and sold its local tclephono exchange business to tho local Home company, particularly is this true in tho eifies of Los Gates,, Gilroy, Reedslcy- in California-, Lc Grande, in Oregon, anil Kenton and Kent, in Washington. Home Makes Illg Growth The growth of the Home company miicc its organization has been phe nomenal. Without mukiiiR very much stir about it they havo quiotly gone abend and increased their buuinesM in the cities of Gold Hill,. Rogue River, Jacksonville and Hedyird. In tho, city of Medford, prior to tho cprisum matioii of this deal,, tho 'Home com pnny had in operation 040 phonos us against 1037 Bell phones, and n force of men havo been working overtime for the past three months instulliug Home phones in the resident and busi ness districts. ' It is going to take some little timo to have the matter so completely ad justed that Pacifio phones will be taken out and tho Home phones substituted in their blent. But at this time any subscriber of the Home company can get long distance con nection over the Paeifio long distanco service just as though thoy. were talk ing from a Pacific phono. It will bo iinH)sstble, however, for tho timo be ing for the Home company to com; plete the consolidation of tho two sys tems so that the Home phone sub scribers may telephone direct to Pa cific subscribers. This could be douo in probably thirty days if it were done in a makeshift manner, but when tho new system is installed tho Home company recognizes that it should bo a permanent system and one that will reflect credit upon a oity of the sizo of Medford, and for that reason it may require ninety days to fully com plete the consolidation of the two local plants. Vmtco to bo Manager At a meeting of tho new director ate A. J. Vaueo was tendered tho position of manager of tho Home company. Mr. Vaneo has had a wide telephone experience and was former ly general manager of tho Rocky Mountain Telephone Co., with head quartors at Salt Lake For somo timo past ho has boon tho local man ager of tho Pacific company. His thorough knowledge of the details of the old Pacific plant makes his' ser vices invaluable to tho now company for it is a Herculean task to dismantle tho entire Pacific plant and to cause its subscribers to bo connected up with tho Home plant without soriotis inconvenience. Tho Home compaily recognizes that when tho chungo is made that it is duo to all of its sub scribers that tho change bo inado with the least possible delay and incon venience to tho Paeifio and Home subscribers. George C. Ulrieh, who for tho past two years has been beeretury un'd treasurer of tho Home company, re tains a similar position and will havo full charge of tho receipts and 'dis bursements of tho company. By the deal eoiifuminuted(ti6 reor ganization whatever of tho Ijomu company was mado, Tho corporntiu has simply acquired from the Pacific company all of tho local telephone ex change rights of tiie Paeifio company in the towns and citios uffeoted.
