COLE BLEASE DEFEATED FOR SENATE SEAT South Carolina Democrat Apparently Is Loser in Primary. COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 10. Nearly complete returns in the Democratic run-off primary indicated today that Senator Cole L. Blease, self-styled

“drinking prohibitionist" and condoner of lynching, had been retired to private life. Former Congressman James F. Byrnes had a majority of 4,970 votes with only 212 of the state’s 1,528 precincts yet to be counted. Blease was not expected to overcome this lead.

Blease

The vote was Byrnes, 119,310; Blease 114,346. Blease raised the Negro issue during the campaign by declaring lynching was the only way to stop Negro attacks on white women. Byrnes, if complete returns do not alter his position, is assured of election as Democratic nominee. The race for the nomination for Governor was very close. Ira C. Blackwood, Spartanburg, had a majority of 693 over Olin D. Johnston, Spartanburg, with the vote standing Blackwood 116,966, and Johnston 116,273. Colorado G. 0. P. Upset DENVER, Sept. 10.—George H. Shaw (Rep.) and Edward P. Costigan (Dem.) are the Colorado senatorial nominees on the basis of returns from Tuesday’s primary election. The count from 1,172 out of 1,578 precincts in the state gave Shaw--49,255 and William V. Hodges, 37,708. The vote for Costigan, former member of the federal tariff commission, exceeded the combined vote polled by his two opponents, Morrison Shafroth and James A. Marsh. Tabulations from 1,094 precincts in the Democratic senatorial race showed 18,279 votes for Costigan; 10,985 for Shafroth, and 5,638 for Marsh. The Hodges-Shaw battle, which developed into a clash of personalities, featured the Colorado primaries. The victory of Shaw overthrew the Republican leadership maintained in Colorado by Senator Lawrence C. Phipps. Phipps, senior senator, sponsored Hodges, while the junior senator, Charles Waterman, favored Shaw. Governor W. H. Adams was unopposed on the- Democratic ticket for renomination. The Republican candidate, Robert F. Rockwelll, also received his party's unanimous indorsement. Wets to Do Battle Hu t niled Press SEATTLE, Sept. 10.—Ralph A. Horr, wet Republican candidate for congress from the first Washington district, was conceded victory today over John F. Miller, incumbent, in primary election returns early today. In 326 out of 460 precincts his vote was 22,950 and Miller’s 21.330. The race between Miller and Horr has provided the interest in an otherwise quiet and uninteresting primary. Horr will oppose Charles G. Heifner, Seattle wet Democrat, in the November election. In the Second district, Payson Peterson led the field of Republican candidates. Lindsey Hadley, incumbent, had dropped to second place. In the Third district John T. McCutcheon, incumbent, led. Vermont Dry Victor /; 1/ I Hi fed Press MONTPELIER, Vt„ Sept. TO.— Governor John E.

Love-Crazed Youth Holds Nurse for Hours, Threatening Murder

Itu I vile* Prr*n WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—A rookie policeman and an old-fashioned ironing board combined Tuesday night to solve a situation which for nearly three hours baffled a large squad of capital police and detectives and had threatened possible death to Miss Annie D. Jennings, 25-year-old nurse. For two hours and fifty minutes, Miss Jennings had been held prisoner in a small, second-floor roohi, with her captor, Howard F. Carson, a jealousy-crazed youth of 25, covering her with a revolver and threatening to kill her at once unless she promised to marry him.

CITY PREVENTS BUS OPERATION New School Line Runs Into Grief Second Day. Anew bus line intended to serve students at Butler university and at Arsenal Technical and Shortridge high schools ran into grief today on its second day of operation when it was alleged to have been lacking approval of either the public service commission, park board or safety board. Seping one of the new firm’s three busses running on a boulevard, motorcycle officer James E. Campton investigated, learning no approval had been given the new line. John McArdle, chairman of the public service commission, said a petition for the line was filed with the commission late Tuesday, but that its operation must halt until approval is given. Whether this authority lies with the commission or with the city is a matter being adjudicated in the courts at present. Park and safety board officials said Logan J Smith, operator ot the line, had neither asked nor received any authority from them for its operation. Officer Campton was under orders to halt the busses until authority is obtained. Route of the busses is a direct one from Butler university to Shortridge high school and thence to Arsenal Technical high school and return. It was Smith's intention to relieve school and students from the delays of street car and bus transfers. TEACHERS’ TURNOVER FIGURE HERE IS LOW Only 51 Ganges Over Last Year C T * of 1,800 Total. Turnover of teachers in the Indianapolis public schools is remarkably low, Superintendent Paul C. Stetson said today at a meeting to instruct teachers new to the school system.

Young Carson had dragged the girl to the upstairs room after chasing away with the gun another suitor who had called at the house earlier in the evening. The latter, Joseph M. Jackson, summoned police, who in turn called for headquarters detectives and other aid until finally the best minds of the department had been called in an effort to solve the stiange situation without bloodshed. While police were summoning all their resources and a crowd of several hundred stood watching, Carson, inside the house, was brandishing his gun and threatening instant death unless the pretty nurse agreed to marry him.

URGES REVISION OF BASIC LAW FOR TAX RELIEF _ Constitution Change Only Remedy, Senator Miller Tells Probers. Trnnnung budgets and reducing expenditures never can solve Indiana's taxation problems, and the only fundamental remedy lies in constitutional revision, so that equitable tax leevies may be made, the state tax survey committee conference at the statehouse was told today. This advice came from State Senator Winfield Miller (Rep.), Indianapolis. Every seat in the senate chamber at the statehouse was filled with state, township and county tax officials and citizens. Among plans advocated for reducing governmental overhead was modification of the Coxey plan to eliminate public bond interest and its adoption on a state instead cf federal scale. Other Economics Listed Consolidation of local governmental units, curbing school transportation costs, abolition of township trustees, attendance officers and county agents and surveyors were other economies suggested. State supported infirmeries were urged by Auditor John H. Johnson of Allen county, to reduce the number of institutions. “Minds of the people are thoroughly aroused to the need of tax reform, but the fundamental solution lies in reform of the protest constitution,” Senator Miller asserted. Herman L. Seeger, Indianapolis real estate man and builder, advocated the modified Coxey plan. He would have the state issue all public improvement bonds for local governmental units at a 2 per cent interest payment. “Taxpayers in Bondage” “Interest on bonded debt is putting the taxpayers in bondage under the present system,” he declared. Startling disclosures on the cost ; of school bus transportation in Indiana is $1,509, while in this state George Firman of the South Bend Chamber of Commerce. The average cost for annual opj eration of school busses outside InI diana is $1,5000, while in this state !it is $4,387, he declared. Yet here 1 the transportation distance per ! child is but 1.57 miles and in other ] states three to five miles. sls to $lB a Child Cost per child ranges from sls to 1 sls in other states and $27.50 in Indiana. He claimed that $2,400,000 : can be saved on bus transportation ! alone. ' Edward Luke, Dearborn county, | township trustee, was the only one to defend that office. He pointed out that in the rural districts it keeps the government close to the people and they can reform with ! ballots and not have to bear a burden for twenty years, and then “reform with bullets.” hi the Air Weather conditions in the air at. j 9 a. m.: East, southeast wind, 11 miles an i hour: barometric pressure, 30.08 at ! sea level; temperature, 66; ceiling, 1 10,000 feet; visibility, 3 miles; field, good.

HUEY LONG BEATS VETERAN SENATOR

— ■

Youthful Governor Wins Louisiana Nomination From Ransdell. It If t'uited Press NEW ORLEANS. La., Sept. 10.— Senator Joseph Ransdell, veteran of thirty-two years’ experience at Washington, has lost his seat to Youthful Governor Huey P. Long, whose vigorous campaign plunged Louisiana into one of the most bitter political battles in its history. New Orleans newspapers, which attacked Long throughout the campaign, conceded his election Tuesday night, and estimates of his plurality ran as high as 40.000. Governor Long polled 131,539 votes to 100,601 for Ransdall, according to unofficial returns from all but 200 state and one New Orleans precincts. Strong in New Orleans The surprising feature was Long’s strength in New Orleans. Admittedly strong in the rural sections, his opponents counted on a heavy Ransdell vote here and in the other large cities to defeat him. New Orleans was believed Ransdeli’s by more than 20,000, but when returns came in the senator topped his opponent here by only 5,142 votes As returns from outlying rural sections are tabulated, the Governor’s lead is expected to increase even more substantially. St. Bernard parish, for instance, gave Long 3,990 votes to seven for Ransdell. Guardsmen Are Mobilized Votes were cast here Tuesday in an atmosphere of tension. Several companies of the national guard were mobilized and many expected the Governor to declare martial law here “to insure fair play.” The 36-year-old Governor is serving the second year of his term. He entered politics as a railroad commissioner. After one defeat he was elected Governor by a majority of 45,000. Twice he has resisted attempts to have him impeached. Pair Held for Lebanon Cops Police here today held William O. Riley, and Mrs. Marie O'Reilly, both of the city, for Lebanon police, who say they want Riley in connection with a charge of secreting personal property, and Mrs. O’Reilly on a fraudulent check charge.

Osborn, former Governor, by a majority that jumped upward toward 100,000 when Detroit’s count accumulated. Detroit’s belated returns on the Republican nomination for Governor cut heavily into the lead of Wilbur M. Brucker, attorney-gen-eral, who came up to Wayne county with a large majority. Brucker’s opponent, former Governor Alex J. Groesbeck, was 50,000 behind, however, with 800 precincts missing.
