begin hearings on a bill providing im-1

portant changes In the national election system recently Introduced by Ren. Will It. Wood, of Indiana.

Rep. Wood is firmly convinced that

the federal election machinery is in need of complete overhauling, and the plan he has put forth in his measure is a radical one although Mr. Wood Is a conservative in every sense of the word. His proposals are based upon many years of practical experience as a legislator, first in the Indiana genfral assembly and, in recent years, as a member of congress. The correspondence Rep. Wood is now receiving Indicates that his bill has won strong support in every state of the union. The Wood measure contemplates a

The Indiana congressman points out that when the federal constitution was originally framed provision was made for the election of the president for a term of seven years without reelection. This was changed, he says, during the deliberations to election for six years without the right of succession and so remained until the closing days of the convention, when it was reconsidered and the present plan adopted. Sees Good Influence The dean of the Indiana delegation believes, from his political experience, that a president elected for only one term will act independent of any and nil political Influence; that, knowing he would not be eligible for a second term, he would not have the incentive to take political expediency into consideration in formulating and carrying

This would reflect a good Influence

through all the administrative branch of the government, Wood believes, because the administrative officers, especially the appointive officers, would not be devoting a considerable part ot their time to efforts to secure the reelection of their chief. Provisions of Bill The Wood bill provides that the national election shall be held on the first Tuesday in October and the inauguration shall be on the first Monday of the following month. It provides that the candidate who

receives the highest number of votes j - not a plurality over all shall be j president, and the candidate of the j same political party receiving the nxt j highest vote shall be the vicepresident. This section of the bill does away v ith the electoral college and is one of j 'lie most revolutionary features of the m'asure. Further, the same section; i f the bill divorces the federal election ,

from the elections of state and county officials. Hep. Wood has a good reason for wanting to completely nationalize the "'.r-ction of president, vice president, :- nators and representatives in consrss.

(By Associated Press GENOA, April 13. While rumors of a sensational nature were flying thickly about Genoa conference circles today, most of them being promptly disavowed, the one fact that appeared to stand out in this somewhat clouded atmosphere, was that neither the disarmament or reparations questions would be brought up for specific action against the opposition of France. The disarmament discussion h;id centered in the rumor that Prime Minister Lloyd George would propose a military holiday for a fixed time. This was flatly disavowed this afternoon by members of the British delegation. Other reports were that the Russians and the Germans were preparing to leave the conference unless reparation and disarmament were ma "e part of the agenda. These were also officially denied. Too Early to Quit It was pointed out that it was still too early for any of the powers to quit the conference on the ground that the gathering was not developing value to their interest as the' proceedings have not reached a definite enough stage to justify action before the home public of the various delegations which were thoroughly advised in advance regarding the agenda. The.

I am sure, would have no objection j 'o the voice of all its people in a na-i tmnal election if they were assured1 that it would not interfere with their j state and local affairs." Another important election change the Wood bill provides relates to the election of members of congress. It specifies that the membership of the house of representatives shall at no tune be less than twice the membership of the senate and never be more than four times the senate membership. This would make the maximum house membership 3S4, or 51 less members than it now has. Would Divide House. The Wood bill further provides that the members of the house shall be divided, as nearly as possible, into two classes of equal size, one class to be elected every two years and the term of each member to be four years instead of the present term of two years. Thus, one-half of the members of the house in each congress would be hold-overs, which Representative Wood believes would be a great advantage for stable legislation. "I think that with the extension of the term lor each member of the house there would come more inde-

The maciiine which crashed was the one the Smiths intended to use in thcii flight. Captain f'onkerill of the Vickrrs company had previously flown It for half an hour, then handed It over to Captain Smith. As the machine was approaching the airdrome to land it got into a sp;n, and the crash followed. Capt. Sir Ross Smith sprang into prominence in aviation in 1919 when accompanied by his brother.

Captain Smith saw distinguished service in the European war first with the Australian Light Horse in Egypt and Gallipolis, and later as an aviator with the Australian flying corps in Egypt and Palestine. He was one of the British army aviators who in December, 191 S. made the first flight from Cairo to Calcutta.

DISCOUNT RATE GUT BY BANK OF ENGLAND; FINANCIERS AMAZED

LONDON, April 13. The Bank of England reduced its discount rate to four per cent. The last, previous reduction was on Feb. 16 last, when the rate was dropped from 5 to percent. The reduction coming on the eve

i of the Eater holidays was an entire

surprise to the money market and financial interests. Business in Lombard street had begun this morning without the usual "subject to lower bank rate" w-hich is usually posted when there is a possibility of a reduction during the day, and the belief is expressed that the action was prompted by the treasury, which has been ruling the money market for some time past. The reduction, however, was welcomed as another step in the restoraof more normal conditions and ilie loosening of money for trade purposes.

Want to Communicate Their request for additional time, it is thought probable, is also inspired by a desire for a fuller communication with Moscow. Adolph Joffe. of the Russian delegation, declared today that many o" the recommendations in the report were "quite absurd'' and designed to put. Russia under a foreign yoke, "the same as Turkey and China." As to the disarmament and reparations issues, it appeared clear that the conference could not conceivably entertain any resolutions relating directly to them unless France consented to i change in the agenda.
