activity in politics solely for Office.
The difference is in degree not in
principle. As rule the congress
man owns the postmasters in his dis

Bob Mayse went to Englewood to

Allison was placed in Jail here in the
winter of 1901, charged with larceny

Is, 1902 Ford and Allison sawed out
of the Jail and made their escape.
Afterwards Allison was taken and on
arrangement plead guilty and was
sent to the penitentlary, from which
he was released about a year ago.
We are informed that when Ford

sire to extend our thanks and appre-
citation to all who have assisted US

TRENTON. n. j.. March 2J.-Thc most

blyman Baker of Hudson. to whom last
evening was extended the privileges OF

the eloquence of her father. thanked the

too fat to make a good run against man
who has an international reputation as
a runner tmeaning Mr.. Bryan. She got
il generous ''h-.nd' from Bryan and anti

SMITH ELECTED TO SENATE
To Fill Vacancy Caused by Senator
WHITES Death.

ANNAPOLIS. March 2e.-The senate and
house of delegates in separate sessions.
Yesterday elected former Gov. John Wal
ter Smith to the vacancy in the Unite
States Senate caused by the death of
Senator William Pinkney Whyte.
Republicans in the two houses. with the
exception of Delegate Gray of Charles
county, refrained from voting. Mr.. Gray
voted for Representative Jackson. The
republicans refrained from voting because
they believed that the proceedings were
illegal in view of the fact that sufficient
notice of the vacancy in the senate had
not been given.
Mr. MetZerOtt Of Prince George de-
Clared the position of the republicans to
be that it is most important that the
state of Maryland be represented by two
senators in the Congress Of the United
States. and that. therefore, the present
vacancy should be filed by the action of
the assembly taken in such manner
as 10 avoid all possible question of legal
ijE of prOce dure.
The action" he said. has already been
questioned and is contrary to all piece
dent The Senate of the United States
Is the judge Of the eligibility OF it's own
members. and its action in similar cases
demonstrates that it will not accept this
election as legal. Inc attorney general
Of Maryland holds that Tuesday. March
~. is the second esday after Tuesday,
March II. and is. consequently. the proper
DAY on which to elect senator. That
liz is wrong In this contention. We think,
i plain to every one. Further than this.
H.. house was only notified Informally
last Tue sday of the death of Senator
N'hyte. and the senate was not even in
session
There will be a comparison of the jour-
nails of the two houses today. when for

Twins Get Fatal Fall.

NEW YORK, March 2I.-Charlic and
Willie Gehnrich, the two-year-old twin
sons of Mrs. Minnie Gehnrich, who lives
in the two-story house at 4i44 East Syth
street, fell from a window on the second
floor yesterday afternoon to the paved
yard behind the house. The skulls of
both children were fractured.
Mrs Gehnrich entered the room from
which the children fell just as they top
pied fom the window. and she ran scream
ing downstairs into the yard. Policeman
Lederman found her holding the uncon-
scious infants in her arms and weeping
over them
The policeman called an ambulance from
the Presbyterian hospital and Mrs. Gehp-
rich became distracted when she saw her
children taken away. She ran all the way
to the hospital behind the ambulance.
There is no hope that the twins will live.
