AUDITOR NOT ELECTED.
Board of Public Works Postpones
AElection Another Week
Position Vacant a Year

Annapolis, Md. Jan. 2.-While
the two Democratic members of the
Board of Public Works could not
get together on filling the long-va-
cant State Authorship today, they
did agree to settle the question next
Thursday.
The Board, by unanimous vote
adopted resolution providing for
the election of State Auditor and
a Deputy State Auditor at twelve
o'clock Thursday next, in the
Boards office in the Union Trust
Building.
The resolution was offered by
Comptroller Harrington, and second.
ed by Treasurer Vandiver.
Mr.. Harrington, who is given
credit for forcing the question, de-
clared with much positiveness that
both offices will be filled on the
day set. The inference is that if
Treasurer Vandiver does not join
him in naming two men, he will
himself put up two for whom Gov.
Goldsborough will vote in order to
break the deadlock.
Before the meeting of the Board
OF Public Works Comptroller Har-
rington said:
81 want to know who l am vot-
dng for before I vote. I have en-
tered into no bargain or deal. It
is my personal responsibility and 1
SO recognize it. OF course, / shall

that some are worth more than 9TH

man Is competent before l vote for
him.
It Is expected that J. Enos Ray,
OF Prince Georges county, former
Speaker of the House, will be selec-
ted as Auditor, but the Deputy Au-
ditorship is uncertain. Mr.. Har-
rington says he has pledged his vote
to no one, but he Is known to have
good opinion of Mr.. Ray, as the
Prince Georges man was his Sec

He didn't wait for them 10 come 10

OF the secrets OF Menken's moderate

worried. Mr.. WEIGH was asking about

whenever you get ready TO come back.
you could have your old place in the

Menken had read his way 10 the
end. Just now his eyes dropped. and.
without comment. he replaced the let.
ter rather carefully and tapped his
knee with IL.
Nor did the group seem inclined
toward hilarious comment. Carter
emitted n little snort-and stopped.
The red-haired one essayed a con-
temptuous chuckle. and il died out
in rather sickly fashion.
The last puff OF wind had died away
now. and the silence was intense. Out
OF IL came long. whistling. wheeling
breaths from the derelict-big. rasp.
ing gasps OF pure. Infatuated pain.
Then:
