HIGHER PAY FOR
vICE-PRESIOENT
Senator Salisbury Introduces a
Resolution TO Increase Salary
TO $4,000

Senator Salisbury has offered and
had referred to the committee on pri-
vileges and elections resolution max
ing the salary of the Vice President Of
the United States, S25. 900 a year. in
stead Of Sl2. 000 as at present
Mr.. Salisbury has had this resolution
in hand for over a month and had been
waiting the favorable opportunity of
the temporary absence from the Senate
Of Vice President Marshall, so as to
avoid the awkwardncss of introducing
it while the latter was presiding over
the Senate. This morning gave the
first chance and he promptly took adj
vantage of it.
There is no doubt of the favorable
recommendation of the Senate COM
mittee, as almost every Senator feels
that the Vice President salary is in no
way commensurate with the high digni-
ity of his responsible office and does not
enable him to come anywhere near
meeting the social requirements Of the
position and the expenditures connected
herewith.

SENATOR Lee
THE CANDIDATE
Comptroller Harrington And
Clerk C. C. MdgTudeT VIII
Have no Opposition

While the discussion over the legality
Of the Maryland primaries is going on,
Senator Blair Lee. the only avowed
Democratic candidate for the Senatorial
nomination. is making vigorous and
aggressive campaign throughout the
State. Senator Lee has no opposition
in the Democratic party for the nomi-
nation. The withdrawal of Congress
man J. +. c. Talbot has given him
clear field and it cannot be seen now
where an opposition will develop to
him IN the Democratic party. During
the past week Senator Lee has visited
number of fairs and tournaments in
different sections of the State and made
speeches. 1t is his intention TO make a
most strenuous campaign from now
until the election. With no opposition
in his own party, the Senator wlll be
able to win his nomination at not much
expense. The only opposition to Sen
ator Lee will bc the Republican nominee,
Tom" Parran. of the Fifth District
who was induced to make losing fight
at the eleventh hour The former Con-
gresham says he had no thought of
being a candidate until the meeting of
Republicans and Progressives in Bati-
more last Thursday While MIR. Parran
will make vigorous fight it is generally
conceded that he will have poor show
of being elected with Blair Lee in the
race for the short-term Senatorship.
As they have no opposition in their
own party, State Comptroller Emerson
&c. Harrington. of Dorchester County,
and Clerk of the Court of Appeals G. G.
Magruder, of Prince Georges county,
will not have TO enter the statewide
primaries The law provides that, where
candidate for Office IS unopposed. his
nomination shall be certified to- 1t is
too late now for any contestant to enter
the fight against Messrs Harrington
and Magruder From the beginning,
these two Democrats had the support of
the city and state organizations and it
was their support which will probably
prevent them from having costly
fights. Likewise the Republicans will
make their nominations without pri-
mary fight. Their nominees will be
Messrs. Oliver S. Metzerott. of Prince
Georges county. and Mr.. Augustus n.
Bernhard. of Baltimore city. Both men
consented to run for Office at the elev-
enth hour Mr.. Metzerott was men,
Der of the House of Delegates at the
sessions of 1908 and 1912. Mr.. Den
hard ran for Judge of the Orphans
Court several years ago and was over
whelmingly defeated. 1t is conceded
that, with their partly solidly and united
~ behind them and because Of their pub
lie records. Messrs. Harrington and
Magruder will be decisively elected.

SULzER STILL
LOSES GROUND
Glynn Calls State Employees To
Allegiance They Promptly
Obey The Call.

Adopting the most formal method of
asserting his right to administer the
affairs of New York State. acting Gov
ernor Martin H. Glynu has prepared a
proclamation declaring in effect that he
is the real Governor. and that William
Sulzer. 10y his refusal to quit the execu-
tive Offices. is virtually a usurper.
Practically every State officer and de-
partment chief has rendered allegiance
to Mr. Glynn.
GovernorlSulzer finds himself depriv-
ed of the services of even his own force
of executive clerks and stonographers.
1t was said tonight that when Mr..
Glynn called upon the employees Of the
Executive Chamber to present them
selves at his office ready for work. there
was a general response. leaving Mr..
Suzer isolated in his offices on the sec
ond floor, with only his personal EN-.
ployes to attend him.

1t was further announced that "other

THAW ESCAPES
FROM ASYLUM
Harry ThaW Makes a Successful
Break For Liberty. Is
Caught In Canada

Harry X. 1haw made a sensational
escape from Matteawan Insane Asylum.
New York. last Monday. When the
milk man left the morning milk, Thaw
ran through the open gate and jumped
into waiting automobile in readiness.
and in charge Of confederates. who as
sisted in planning his escape. Another
automobile of go horsepower was near
the scene, and Thaw was quickly trans
ferred to that. and made the dust fly for
the border of the State. He finally
made his way to Canada. where he was
arrested on the charge of conspiracy to
bribe State official, meaning the keep
er who was in charge Of him. The
warrant on the ground of conspiracy
will not suffice to secure his extradition.
He may. however. be taken back on the
charge that he is an undesirable alien.
Ii looks very much like the Jack
johnson case, and it is the opinion Of
many that Thaw will be successful in
his contention that he cannot be carried
back to New York.
Harry X. Thaw is the slayer of Stan
ford White, for which he was sentenced
to death. but escaped the death chair
on the plea Of insanity. He now claims
to be sane.
