several wooden buildings including
the South side grocery building,

The fire was especially hard to fight

SEATING OF LEE IS
NOT TO Be HURRIED
Certificate of Maryland Election
Is Filed With Senate Com
mittee For Ruling.

The question of seating Blair Lee OF
Maryland as Senator from that State
to fill the unexpired term of the late
Senator Rayner is now before that
body. 1t was brought up today by the
filing by the Vice-President of the GER
tificate of election of Mr.. Lee, consti-
tuting his credentials. The certificate
was referred without discussion to the
Privileges and Elections Committee.
Inasmuch as the Senate will be deep
In the consideration of the currency
bill for many days, 1t is not certain
when the Privileges and Elections Com
mittee will meet. Indications are that
the question of seating Mr.. Lee will not
be pressed until after the first of the
coming year, m accordance with what
Is said to be an agreement with Sena-
tor jackson and his friends.
The certificate of election embodies
copy OF the writ of election and a
copy of the declaration Of the board of
canvassers showing the vote in the re-
cent Maryland Senatorial election.
The reports are certified to by Gov
ernor Goldsborough and the secretary
of state of Maryland. 1t is shown by
the declaration Of the board of can
Nasers that Lee received IL. IS5 votes,
and his nearest opponent, Parran, $500.
Mr.. Lee has filed with the Senate
statement of his expenses in the cam
paiSn. They amount to $,072.96. This
is well within the law. The Clapp
statute allows $1G.0oo' expenses as a
maximum.
An interesting phase Of the statement
of Mr. Lee is that almost half his ex-
penses We're for postage. In other
words. almost half Of his expenses went
back to the Government. The cost of
