POE WOULD BE SENATOR.
Ex-AttOrney General VIII Enter
Democratic Primary.

Special % The Washington Herald.
Baltimore, oct 5.-John PreGtiss Poe,
former attorney general Of Maryland, is
now candidate for United States Sen
ator.
He wrote to Chairman Murray Van
diver, Of the Democratic State Central
Committee, announcing his intention 10
enter the primary next month, then fold
ed his tent, like the Arab, and silently
stole away. He has gone away 10 Can
ada for a twO-weeks' vacation, and will
not be back until October 19 That will
be ten days after the lists of candidates
will be closed ten days after the date
set for final action upon the agreement
between the Senatorial candidates which
Mr.. Poe himself proposed.
This action is taken by some to mean
that Mr.. Poe recognizes the impossibility
of getting all the candidates TO sign any
agreement What he means by entering
the primaries as a candidate is not
known. There does not seem to be much
probability just at present of HIS get
ting the organizations support in Balti-
more city, and without it he will have
little chance of polling a considerable
vote

Norfolk. Va. Oct 5.-Tha board OF dl-
rectors of the jamestown Exposition
Company this afternoon elected Alvah II.
Martin director general of tie Tercenten-
NAL Exposition, as successor to James
NJ. Barr, resigned.
The government 10 which the expost-
tion owes Ss00.O0o. showed its interest in
the matter by sending a telegram TO the
directors, signed by Assistant Secretary
Of the Treasury Edwards, urging that
the resignation of Barr be not accepted,
as a change in the administration Of the
fair at this time would be disastrous TO
its interests. There We're those who IA
vored that FBarr's resignation be not ac-
cepted. but the positive refusal of Barr
TO withdraw it made that impossible.
Other names proposed for director gen
eral were those of Thomas 5. Southgate
and Col Walter Fl. Taylor. Lieut. Gov.
J. Taylor Ellyson, who was favored by
many for the place, would not let his
name be considered.
Claim Administrations Favor.
The vote stood &c for Martin to l6 for
Southgate. The election Of Martin was
urged on the ground that he has the
favor Of the administration. which is con-
sidered here an fl-dr1wn conclusion, If
politics be allowed to enter into the case.
and one which will probably cause a
ripple of amusement in Washington.
Alvah H. Martin is at present first vice
president Of the exposition. He is also
said 10 be the biggest individual stock
holder in the exposition He was a MEM
ber Of the old board Of governors, which
proved unsuccessful in its management of
the exposition.
The position Of governor Of transpoTta-
tion was created for Martin. The action
Of the board Of directors in making him
director general is meeting with severe
criticism on the streets Of Norfolk. and
as the exposition must depend almost ex-
clusively on local patronage for support
from now until the exposition closes No
vember 80. people here do not see how
this latest act Of the board can do the
exposition any good Politics is esChewed
in considering the matter.
May Retain the Chiefs
The heads of all exposition departments
have resigned with Barr, but it remains
TO be seen whether their designations
will be accepted by the new director gen
eral
