THE EYLER REPORT.
Committee Will Forward 1t
to Acting Governor
Johnson.

The Eyler investigating committee met
at Assemblyman Meekers law office in
New York yesterday afternoon to put the
finishing touches to their report to the
Governor 1t is understood that as re-
suit of the meeting the report is now
ready to be presented to the Governor.
1t is understood that it will be signed by
Chairman Mungle and Assem- blymen ABB
bett, Wakelee and Marshall. Assembly
man Meeker, of Elizabeth, who espoused
Mrs. Eyer's cause throughout the investi-
cation, will. it is thought, present a
minority report.
Assemblyman Marshall was not present
at yesterdays meeting, but notified the
committee that he was in accord with the
views of the majority as expressed at the
last meeting of the committee. and if
these, views were embodied in report, he
would sign and forward it to Chairman
Mungle.
It is not known what the report will
contain, as the committee has agreed TO
keep its contents a secret until after 1t is
presented to Acting Governor Johnson.
ut then becomes public property" ex-
planned one of the committee yesterday,
land we will no longer have any control
over it."
1t is not thought the Acting Governor
will take any action regarding the report,
except to formally receive and hold it un-
til Governor Voorhees, return.
From what could be learned in. the
morning, the report will state that the
charges of mismanagement of the insti-
tuition under Mrs. Eyler's direction
have been substantiated by the evidence
of reliable witnesses, and that many of
the inmates suffered unnecessarily cruel
and inhuman punishment under orders
from Mrs. Eyler.
The committee will also prepare re-
view of the testimony taken during the
investigating, showing that Mrs. Eyler
was not competent to manage the in
stitution. No recommendation for her
removal will be made, asst he committee
is of the opinion that this is a question
for the trustee of the school to decide.

COL. BAUGHMAN WILL NOT ACCEPT.
Democrats of Sixth Maryland District
Have No Candidate.


Have No Candidate.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
FREDERICK. Md. August "a, 1900.
The democrats of Frederick county are
anxiously looking for a suitable candidate
for Congress to oppose Col. George A.
Pearre In the sixth district Of Maryland. Col
Louis Victor Baughman whose name has
been prominently mentioned during the past
week. will positively not accept the nomina
ton, although 1t is believed that he could
get 1t without much effort Democrats
here generally believe that Colonel Baugh
man is the strongest man the party has in
the district, and a strong effort Is being
made to have him accept the nomination.
1t Is rumored that party leaders In the
state have slated Colonel Baughman for
governor to succeed Col. John Walter
Smith. -.
Mr. Blair Lee of Montgomery county has
considerable following in this county, but
his pronounced views on the money Ques-
ton have made him somewhat unpopular
with the leaders, who want a candidate
with conservative ideas in regard to the
free silver issue
Maj. Charles Little is not well known
here and 1t is not likely that the Frederick
county delegation will support him In the
convention.
Frederick county will be q battle ground
this fall, and both sides will make a strong
effort to carry 1t. Last year the democrats
the Haffner faction of the republican party
either voted with the democrats or stayed
at home, and the same state of affairs il
said to exist In this campaign Two years
ago the republican ticket was elected by
majorities ranging from 500 to 700.
Colonel Pearre Is regarded as a very
strong candidate, and the democrats
scarcely dare hope to defeat him at the
polls. The democratic convention to nomi-
nate candidate for Congress will meet at
Rockville on September 8.
