Another big election, with the state
the stake, will be held in November next
year. when governor and Legislature
will be chosen, and the prospects are
that many scandals rejecting on the
party in power will develop during the
time intervening. because it is claimed
that in the scandals revealed only the
surface has been scratched, and that
surprises are coming.
Governor Has Fight Ahead.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
Gov. CrOthers is reaching out for state
and city control of politics. For twenty
years he had been the undisputed boss
of Cecil county and had dominated poll
tics in that section of the state.
Even when Crothers was appointed to
the circuit bench by Gov. Warfield he did
not cease his political activities, taking
an active part in the party affairs dur
ing the whole period he performed the
duties of judge. 1t is only natural.
therefore. that Crothers as governor
should seek a wider field for his political
dCtNItitS- Out AIOlllcIS Has a ildTu ltSlt
ahead and many obstacles to overcome
ere he reaches his coveted goal.
Two leaders at the least will fight the
governor to the last ditch. They are
United States Senator John Walter
Smith and State Senator Arthur p Cor
man. These two politicians have one big
advantage over CrOthers- They are both
men of large means and are ready. if
occasion should arise. to spend money
freely in the game of politics. And the

ing fight for state control that it was
Smith. above all others. who made Croth-
ers governor and paid the freight in
the campaign of 1907.
In his fight to gain control of the city
organization, Crothers will also face
fight He will find John ]. Mahon, the
recognized city leader today. and former
Gov Frank Brown, who managed the
Mahool campaign. lined up against him.
Here again Crothers will find the money
bags against him, for Brown has mil
lions and Mahon enjoys the reputation
of having a barrel that can stand
considerable strair If it becomes neces-
sary to put up" to keep control of the
city machine.
Their Plans Not Disclosed.
Just who Mahon or Brown will back
for the mayoralty nomination is not
known at this time, but il is an open
secret among the Mahon followers tnat
the boss will have no more Of Mayor
Mahool.
From present Indications it seems pretty
sure that former Mayor TimanuS Will
have the call for the republican nominal
ton for mayor, he would undoubtedly
prove the strongest candidate the party
could nominate.
Taken all in all, the chances for re-
publican success in Maryland, not only
this fall hut in the CITY and state
elections next year, are brighter than
they have been in wears.

NEW YORK LEADS.
Is Using More Hydraulic Power Than
Any Other State.

Albany, Jan. 30.-New York distances
all other states in the gross total OF n.y.
draulic power in use, according to the
fifth annual report of the state water
supply commission to be submitted to the
governor and Legislature on Feb. l. The
commission admits If area and population,
as related to natural advantages, are
taken into account, New York has been
greatly outdistanced by her New England
neighbors, which under favoring laws
have pushed utilization of their water
power resources we'll toward the physical
limit.
The commission estimates that no less
than a million and half horsepower can
be ultimately developed on the interior
streams Of New York, without counting
the Niagara and ST. Lawrence rivers, and
It says this great reserve of power, equal
to nearly third of all the water power
in use in the United States, Is sufficient
to displace all the power now derived
from coal and to provide the state with
all the motive power it will need for many
years.
The commission, therefore, presents a
draft of proposed bill for a general and
systematic development of the water re-
sources OF tine state. The commission es-
Inmates that 50O, 900 horsepower of water
energy now running to waste In New
York would have yearly rental Of near

six persons in connection with the

hand of the murdered woman. who is
being held on suspicion, spent consid-
cradle time recently in the house with
the persons arrested. in company with
Agnes Berry. sister of one of the men
arrested, and that it is believed their

Concord, n. H., Police
Believe They Have
A Glue Which Will Help Land
c. L. Fellows MurdeFefS.
Plaster Casts Of Footprints May
Help DispeI Mystery.

Concord, n. H., Jan. 3O.-Plaster
! casts of footprints in the ground may
solve the murder of Charles H. Fellows.
| a well-known business man, who was
| shot TO death in from of his home on
| tho night OF Nov. %.
| The case has been an absolute mys-
| terry to the local police. but now they
believe that the men whose feet will
fit the imprints live in this city and
that their motive for killing Fellows
was robbery.
He had nearly $1,000 in his pocket at
the time and the men whom the police
Suspect of the crime knew that Fell
lows carried large sums of money with
him. One OF the suspects is known to
wear No. shoe, with narrow point,
and from the depth of the track in the
soft earth, and many comparisons the
police believe il was made by a tall
man who wore a fashionable shoe, and
who weighed between $50 and 10
pounds.
This would fit one of the suspects at
least and no doubt the police will take
the trouble within day or so to ascer-
tain the size and shape of his shoe.
Around this particular man the chain
of evidence is growing stronger.
Chief of Police George A. +. Kim
ball declares that he will land the muir
derer or Inurderers, and that the case
will never be dropped until he gets the
guilty parties.
Fellows had been a grocer at Broadway
and South street for years He lived at
Bow, about i mile and half from his
store. Just before 10 o'clock, on the
| night of Nov. %, his wife telephoned to
the store asking him when he would be
| home He said he was just about to
start.
| Just as he drove his carriage into the
front yard of his estate shot was fired
from the darkness and 1t struck Fellows
in the chest The horse bolted. Another
shot followed, striking the injured man
in the back.
Mrs Fellows and her 20-year-old daugh-
ter reached the front door just as the
frightened horse dashed up to the porch.
Fellows, swayng in his seat, exclaimed:
I'm shot" and fell dead before his wife
and daughter.
At first the theory that robbery was
the motive of the crime was dispelled be-
cause of the fact that he was killed so
close to his home. Moreover he had near
ly $1,000 in his pocket and no attempt was
made to take it.
The police found two different tracks.
One led towards Concord and the other
| toward Manchester ..-
II don't think it was the work of pro-
fessional highwaymen," said Chief Nc
I<ee. II think it was the work of ANA
tours who knew that Fellows carried the
money in his pocket. Professionals would
not have held any conversation, but would
have struck Fellows at once"
Mrs. Clara L. Fellows doesn't believe
the police theory. She is not satisfied
that her husband was murdered because
of his money. She has told the police of
tall man who was mysteriously hover
ing about her husbands store few days
before the murder.
