hostelry by that designation. Mem
bers of the campaign committee are
here in all importance, and they are
numerously reinforced by aides OF
various degrees. All the past ten
days therequisite furnishings have
been driving away baroness, desks
and carpenting, telephones and all
the essentials without reference to
outlay have been provided, and the
army of employees are busy from
early morn to late at night. 1t Is a
rush all the time. Clerks, stenograph'
ers, copyists, printers, messenger
boys-all are straight and with ut
most enthusiasm. Chairman Nc
Combs, his assistant "Tom" Pence

GLAD TO FLEE AMER

Antwerp, Aug. 19.-Disguested and
all but a physical wreck, according to
his own statement, because of the
the impure food he ate in America,
Pierre Humbert, Jr., New Yorker by
birth and an engineer by profession,
arrived here today with his wife and
four-year-old daughter Lyke.
"The food in New York is so bad,
says Humbert, that no one can safely
eat it for a long while. In California
one finds the only food that is fit tc
eat and it is so there because they
do not store it for an indefinite
period before dealing it out to thu
consumer.

ate, and James McC. Trippe of the third
Legislative district of Bal imore city was
elected speaker of the house. Both men
were selected last night at democratic
caucuses.
Senator Blair Lee Defeated.
The opponent of Senator Price was
Senator Blair Lee of Montgomery county,
and Mr. Trippe was opposed by Henry A.
Osborn Of Hartford county. Sena tor Price
received eleven votes and Senator Lee
eight votes.
Contrary to general expectation. no ac-
rimonious sentiments were voiced, nor
did the Lee forces throw down the gauge
of battle. At the same time. however
no uncertainty was permitted to over
shadow their attitude, and they will pllr-
sue their progressive course to the end
of the session.
Nor did any division arise over the Sc
lection OF the desk officers. except for one
change made at the suggestion of Sena-
tor Lee, and all the nominations We're
made unanimously. In this one instance
Senator Lee suggested the substitution
of Frank o. Smith of Calvert for F. b.
