COLDSBOROUGH NOT
FOR EXTRA SESSION
Maryland Governor Fails to
See Need of Converting
the Legislature.
SENATORIAL LONG TERM,
HE THINKS, CAN WAIT
Under Law Jackson Would Continue
to Fill Short Term Until the
Legislature Convenes.
Special Correspondence OF The Star.


BALTIMORE, Md, April 10. 1913
There's little chance of an extra session
of the Maryland legislature this year, un-
less mighty change comes over the
present frame of mind of the Maryland
chief executive This information comes
from source close to Gov. Goldsborough.
The governor is said to be unable to see
any good reason why an extra session
should be called at this time to provide
law for the direct election of a United
States senator His friends assert that
the governor does not feel justified in sad
ding upon the taxpayers the expense in
cdent to the assembling of the state law
makers, and. further. that the governor
has not been officially informed through
the proper channels at Washington that
the amendment to the federal Constitution
has been ratified. They point to the fact
that the Secretary of State has not
promulgated the amendment, and cannot
do so until the State Department receives
notification from the governors of the
various commonWealths to the effect that
the amendment has been ratified by these
states.
The governors friends assert that the
attitude of Mr.. Goldsborough at the pres
ent time is unassailable, and that he will
continue to pursue a conservative course
despite the attacks of those whose only
desire is to see democrat in the seat
now occupied by Senator Jackson.

Talbot has hosts of friends both in the
ranks of the regulars and the progress
i've democracy, and his friends insist
that in a triangular fight with Smith and
Marbury, .Marse'' Fred would come
across a winner. A prominent leader OF
Baltimore county who is close to Tai
bott. said to The Star correspondent this
afternoon
Senator Smith is representing Mar
bury as no democrat. and the record of
his past politics is being spread before
the people in all the counties of Maryland
Marbury is going from crossroads to
crossroads making similar statements
about Smith. picturing him as anything
but a progressive democrat and attacking
his record in and out of the state. In
many counties and in the city of Balti-
more people are met every day who say
they will not vote for Marbury. and
others are met who say they will not
vote for Smith. 1t may be that the demo.
Gratis can elect neither of them. Party
people in Baltimore county are beginning
10 feel that way about it. and IL the pres
ent dissatisfaction spreads that will GER
tainly be the case. Many voters all over
the state have begun to think that the
Under the circumstances. many demo-
Gratis believe that the only safe thing is
10 get behind a third man, who has not
stirred up the feeling that exists between
the Marbury and Smith people
Representative Linthicum Is being
spoken of as good compromise candi-
date. but 1T is not thought that the fourth
district representative desires seat in
the upper house at this time.

Straus Upholds Governor.

The governors stand i'm the matter is
Endorsed by former Attorney General
Straus. who is a candidate for the long
term senatorship. Mr. Straus holds that
the present primary and general election
laws of the state are ample for the hold
ing of the short-term senatorial election
next November without the calling of
special session of the legislature. Mr..
StrauS holds that under all conditions
Senator Jackson's term ends during the
state legislative session of 1914. He cites
authorities to back his contention that
the election laws now on the statute books
sufficient to cover the short-term
situation. AS to the ding term. Mr..
Straus holds that the spirit of the federal
amendment is that this election should
not take place until the fall of 1914, and
that the legislature which shall convene
in Annapolis on the first Monday in jan
uary next will pass such a law may
be necessary.
The various announced candidates for
the short and long terms are at work
seeking votes. The only man who is
keeping a deep, dark silence is Mayor
Preston, and he has not yet allowed any
friend, personal or political. to penetrate
the armor which shrouds his intentions
regarding his own candidacy for the long
short term. In both 'lyin' low and in
keeping silent, he has Br'er Rabbit and
Br'er Clam beaten to a FRAGILE. He has
the Sphinx at a draw. And, incidentally,
he has Senator Smith and the city Or
ganization democrats up a tree. The
long-term situation. in nutshell, is be-
clouded to a greater extent than the
leaders are willing to admit. There are
those who doubt that either Smith or
Marbury could be elected. And there is
talk of dark horse for the long term,
behind whom all the factions of the party
could line up. 1t is conceded that this
man will not be Preston. 1t is not de-
MED that Representative Talbot would
come as near filling the bill as a com
promise candidate as any man in the

GREATEST OF ALL DISASTERS
Flood Of the Hoang-Ho In China In
1887 Takes First Place Among
Catastrophes.

Talking Of floods, what was the
greatest disaster nature ever hit the
world with? l don't mean the deluge
or anything so far of as that, and l
don't mean wars, either. They're our
own work. But what was the biggest
loss Of life that ever happened be-
cause Of flood or fire or an earth
quake, or anything of that sort, as
far back as the ordinary records got"
Il suppose you don't include plaques,
such as the black death that ravaged
Europe for century or 80, almost
continuously, back in the Middle
Ages?"
No; that lasted too long. mean

hit the world and knocked out cities
or sunk ships; anything of that kind"
WELL" said the man appealed to as
a handy reference book, If you limit
1t that way | think the flood of the
Hoang-ho, or Yellow River, in China,
In 1887, takes first place. 1t began
late in September and before the wa
ter went down about $4,000 square
miles of one Of the most fertile and
populous plains In the world had been
swept by the swift current. That
means twenty-five per cent. more land
than there is in Ohio.
More than thousand villages and
towns were simply washed off the
map, and the loss of life has never
been calculated at less than million.

100000 persons perished. 1t was like
wiping out as many people as there
are in Cleveland and Cincinnati to-
gether."

claimed the friend who started the
talk about losses through the violence
of nature. 1T must be away ahead of
anything an earthquake ever did, or

Yes, probably by four to one, at
least. But some of the worst earth
quakes and volcanic eruptions have
no way to get authentic figures. 1t is
possible that more than quarter of
million people have lost their lives

both together, but the odds are

Countries.

In the midst OF the success of the
Balkan arms against Turkey, the fact

women Of the Balkans. for of all the
races in Europe, the lot of the women
Of the Balkans Is probably the hardest.
AS is the general rule throughout the
near east, the women is the mainstay
of the family, usually the sole worker,
and just now the wives and mothers Of
the men Of the Balkan states are pre-
pairing to face hard, cold winter.

absent on conquest, 1t devolves on the

To the far horizon there stretched
the melancholy moors, deserted
washes of rush marshes and stunted
heather, broken here and there by
outcrops Of granite, that crowned the
rolling ground like the ruins Of hun
dred feudal castles. FOR Dartmoor is
huge granite tableland, and on its
barren surface no corn will grow nor
tree flourish.
Beneath the rampant OF its contain

ing a portion of moor by a stream
known as the Black brook. Above
the stream rose small hill on which
was an ancient cairn and stone circle
that in my character as a student
would offer an excuse for my pres
ence.
Though communication with Craig
could not be regularly established. he
knew that an attempt was in prepara-
ton. The sight Of man in white
waterproof lettering on the cairn hill
would be his signal that all was ready.
Sudden fogs were frequent upon the
moor, and when they came while the
convicts were at work in the fields.
the chance Of escape was excellent;
for the authorities did not chain their
men, and the warders rarely used
their rifles. They trusted to the huge
moors upon which men who escaped
were easily retaken. half dead from
fatigue and starvation.

About twenty men were in the
