THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
MAKES AN EXCELLENT RECORD.

The Democrats Of Maryland have
reason to be not alone satisfied but
even enthusiastic over the work Of
their State Convention. 1t measured
up finely to it's great opportunity and
responsibility and fulfilled every rea-
sonable expectation.
The platform is admirable in tone,
substance and phraseology 1t is
straight talk" not to be misunder-
stood, and is full Of meat and sub
stance. III hardly could be stronger
and more forceful on the leading is
sue of economy and efficiency in state
affairs, and the convention showed its
sincerity further by the appointment,
10 formulate a program of reform, OF
commission than which we believe
no body of men that possibly could
be chosen would be superior for the
work at hand. The commission seems
tO w. ideal i'm every way.
No less strong and explicit are the
declarations on the budget system, on
uniform accounting in the State de-
partments and in State-aided institu-
tions, and On the abolition Or con
tinuing appropriations and OF the fee
system.
The plank concerning home rule is
in every way satisfactory and a strong
and correct stand IL taken On practi-
cally every state question Of moment.
On the annexation Of the suburbs by
Baltimore the plank is not as definite
nor as strong as could have been
wished This il a vital matter to
Baltimore, and the Democrats might
well have made some explicit pledge
M r.
membered that If the Baltimore coun-
NY leaders who were friends and sup
porters OF MIR. Harrington could have
had their way-and they made hard
fight for it-no mention at all of an
nexation would have been made in
the platform, and the city would have
cot nothing at all on the subject.
1t was only through the determined
effort of Mr.. Frank Furst and others
that any statement directly favoring
annexation was inserted.
What Is said on annexation ID a dis
tinct advance for and concession to
the city. The fairness and necessity
OF increasing the boundaries of Balti-
more are expressly admitted, and liz
the plain words and spirit or the
plank are carried out In good faith
it will be of great advantage to the
city. 1t is notable that the proposal
to tie string to the declaration by
making annexation depend On the
consent OF any annexed portion was
discarded by the platform builders
and the convention.
The convention was no cut-and-dried
routine affair. It was not @bossed'
convention. 1t was full OF vigor and
vitality and "scrappiness.' The max
ing of the platform was no mere ex-
ercise in rhetoric. The trainers knew
that 1t meant something and many
were the clashes or opinion among
those who aided in the building.
All these signs of life and vigor
augur well for the usefulness and
success or party. Whatever sore
ness and bitterness may have been
by the forensic combats
are likely to be forgotten before cleo
ion day il the contestants are good
sportsmen.-The Sun.

FROM CAR AND Is RUN OVER.

Thrown from the front OF a car
while on his way home early Monday
morning, Patrolman Herbert Bitzel,
of the Northwestern district, Balti-
more, was killed, death having come
almost instantly. Al had been his
habit when coming OF duty at a. m,
Mr.. Bitzel and a number Of other

ly before 4.30 o'clock MIR. BitZel
when he got on the car went immed1-
ately to the front platform He en-
gagged in conversation with the mo-
tol man.
Just before the car reached Airing
ton avenue it suddenly stopped and
the motorman cried that a policeman
had fallen to the street. The occu-
pants of the car ran back and found
their unfortunate brother-officer ly-
ing prone on his face between the
car track and the sidewalk, blood
gushing from his mouth, ears and
nose. The Western district ambu-
lance was called and all speed was
made to Franklin Square Hospital.
where he was pronounced dead, de-
clarfng that death must have been
| instantaneous.
As far as can be learned MIR. Bitzel
must have had but loose grip on
| the iron handle rods on the plat
! form when the car gave sudden
lurch and threw him outward toward
the street
| MIR. BitzeI was a son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles II. Bitzel, Smallwood.
His remains were moved from his

Mr.. Bitzel, who was 26 years old,
was appointed to the police force on
February 2S, 1913, being probation
er. One year later he was made a
regular and was known as a quiet
and efficient man, with the makings
of an excellent officer. Before be-
coming a policeman he had been in
the Fire Department IT. had never
BEN before the board on any charg-
es, and his death casts a gloom over
the men.

SHE ROBBED THE JAIL
Patterson Police On the Hunt For
Susie Sherlock.

The police of Patterson, N. J., at
tired In disguises, passed by the Na-
tional Board of Censors, are dry
cleaning the hills about their fair
and much maligned city in an effort
to find Miss Susie Sherlock. That
young woman, who has sparkling
eyes, a roguish laugh and a frightful
nerve, has escaped from the Passaic
County Jail, which has always been
regarded about as solid as keepers
head.
It was probable that daschhunds
would not have been put on the
scent of Miss Sherlock had merely
forced her way from the perfectly
comfortable jail, but when she had
the temerity to rob the Jail a. we'll,
every revolver in the Police Depart
ment was polished, and high-class
chase began.
Two weeks ago Miss Sherlock came
into the life and cells of Sheriff
Amos H. Radcliffe. She had been
convicted of obtaining S25 from Ed
ward Van brock, of Sparta, n. j.,
who has all his life been a tempta-
tion to those in need OF ready money.
Her sentence was for six months,
and from the day of her arrival she
made it clear that she was to be a
model and mighty useful prisoner.
How that girl could scrub, especially
when she got near the windows.
Saturday she got through one.
When the Sheriff counted the
prisoners, which is practically all
that il expected of Patterson
Sheriff after election, he noticed that
Miss Sherlock was not among them.
He called a keeper and questioned
him, only to find that the atsute guard
scarcely knew hi own address Tie
had seen nothing.
There was a search OF the Jail
which was enjoyed by all, and when
it was finished even the Sheriff saw
that something must be done. 1T was
found that a hat belonging to the
wife of the Sheriff was missing, and
that taffeta dress which could stand
alone had been placed in situation
where it would not have-to.
The Patterson police-think Of that
were then notified They intend to
catch the girl if it takes 10 years
