Little ROCK, July l.-fAuHihAo trations of John w. Crockett, 1or- mer state treasurer, and Rufus u. McDaniel, state treasurer since P, January 1, were given clean pllls of health by the legislative audit ing Committee, in report made to Gov. Geo. w. Hays Thursday The investigation proper of the con- mittee covered the office only dur ing MT. McDaniels administra- tion. but reports made on other of fees necessitated verificatlons from the treasurer's office during the last four years, according to the re- port. and the accountants reported the office under "Mr. Crockett's administration to be in excellent shape"
 "The report of the accountants on MT. McDaniel's administration shows his cash to be in perfect bal ance, and all receipts and disburse- ments properly accounted for" says the report. ''The department has a good system of bookkeeping and the books are we'll kept"
 MONEY IN TREASURY.
 The reports show the treasury to have on hand May 22 a total of s2,027,215.SS in cash and securi- ties. Of this amount $197,968.08 was in currency.
 A report on the attorney gener- al's office is expected the last of the week or the first part of next. Contrary to expectations, the con- mittee is to make an audit of the governors office, according to an- nouncement Thursday. The audit of the governors office is to be be- gun next week, members of the committee said. The committee is composed of Senator G. W. Garrett of Okolona, Representative U. A. Bratton of Hope, and Representa- tive Monroe Smith of Hamburg.
 The committees report on the state treasurer's office follows:
 eve submit the following report on the office of the state treasur- CT, beginning with the administra- ton of Rufus G. McDaniel. Janu- ary Is, 1915, to May 22, 1915:
 we were prevented by lack of funds to go further back than the present administration, but in checking the various departments that we have audited it has been necessary for the accounts to veri fy the revenues of each depart ment by the books of the treasur- CT. These reconsilments of the treasurer's books with the differ ent departments have shown the office under MT. Crockett's admin istration to be in excellent shape.
 "The accountants report on MT. McDaniel's administration, which we herewith hand you, we trust you will keep in your office, to- gether with the reports we have submitted to you on the other de- partments, and keep them all the time open to public inspection. We regret that we have not the funds with which to print these reports and distribute them over the state for the benefit of the general pub lie.
 CASH IN BALANCE.
 "The report of the accountants on MT. McDaniel's administration shows his cash to be in perfect balance, and all receipts and dis bursements properly accounted for. The department has a good system of bookkeeping and the books are we'll kept.
 "We find that there is now in the treasury s482.S0 of county scrip. The books show that there should be only $439.S4, or S42.96| less than the actual amount on hand.
 ''It is explained by the officials in the the department that this excess of scrip is due to the fact

 TREASURER M'DANIEL AND CROCKETT

that in a few instances individuals in purchasing state lands would have pieces of county scrip little in excess of the amounts that could be applied on the purchases, but as the scrip could not be divid- ed it was all turned into the treasury, hence in time this excess of $42.96. This $482.80, however, is of no money value; it is only ly- ing in the treasury waiting for the different counties to call it in for cancellation and disposition by the burning boards.
 "We find in the statement of taxes due counties,' as per the ledger in the treasurer's office and the amount due as shown by the county record difference of $245.90 in favor of the treasurer. The following statement from the accountants report explains this difference insofar as the report on the administration of Rufus G. Me- Daniel is concerned:
 "'We have carefully checked the records and find that this differ ence appears to be between the ag- gregate of the amounts due coun- ties and the individual account and date from a period previous to Jan uary 13, 1911, at which time John not enter into the period we are checking now
 "These are the only discrepan- cies found in the treasurer's books, and neither in any way affects the administration of Rufus G. McDan- iel.

HOLT, WHO SHOT
 MORGAN, IS DEAD
Prisoner Jumped from Window 50 Feet to Concrete Basement,
 Crushing Skull.
BULLETIN.

New York, July 7.-(Special to The Press. )-Government Detec- tives who have been running down the record and the movements of Frank Holt, the crank who at- tempted to assassinate John Pier pont Morgan last Saturday, obtain ed information that Holt had placed bombs on the American Steamers Saxonia and Philadel- phia that sailed from New York Monday. It is said the bombs were timed to go off today. The two steamers were warned by wireless today in order that search may be made and an explosion ayerted.
 Holt was today positively identi- fled as Muenter, the German col lege professor charged with killing his wife by poison in Boston ten years ago.. A reward of $l,0OO, of- fered for the capture of Muenter, was never claimed.
 Glen Cove, N. Y., July 7.-Frank Holt, the Cornell professor, who shot J. P Morgan in his home here last Saturday, committed suicide here last night by jumping from a jail window to the concrete floor of the court yard, about 50 feet be- low.
 Dr. Guy Cleghorn, the jail phy- sician, and District Attorney Lewis J. Smith were summoned. pr. Cleghorn examined the body and found that the skull had been crushed and that death had been in stantaneous.
 Holt was under the guard of Jeremiah Ryan, jail attendant. The prisoner apparently was sleep ing soundly and Ryan, hearing a noise on the other side of the cell tier, left his place in front of Holt's open door and started to in vestigate.
 When Ryan returned to Holt's cell he found it empty. Holt had slipped through the open door and climbed to the top of the cell tiers to an open window, through which he plunged to the narrow court yard.
 Holt earlier yesterday admitted to detectives in his cell that he lied when he said that he made the capitol bomb out of sulphuric acid and match heads. and that he did not tell the truth about his move ments in Washington and New York.
 District Attorney Smith searched Holt immediately after arriving at the jail and found a letter written on yellow paper. This letter, which Holt must have written before he attempted suicide early yesterday morning, when the pencil with which he tried to sever an artery was taken from him, was addressed gro My Dear Sirs," and followed:
 'I must write once more The more I think about it the more see the uselessness of living under circumstances such as these. Bring up the dear babies in the love of

REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING.
Speeches From POrticO Of Hotel Mary
land---Candidate WarburtOn Hits
at Weller---Parran Speaks.

A large gathering was addressed on
Saturday night in front of Hotel
Maryland at the Republican mass
meeting held by the Wsrburton fac
tion. The speaking was from the por-
tico of the Maryland Hotel.
MIR. Warburton made straight
forward appeal for support, declaring
that he was the peoples candidate"
and that he asked no favor "of any
self-constituted bosses, as in the case
of his opponent. Mr. Weller.
He asserted that money interests
were behind Mr.. Weller, and. referring
to a statement recently made, he said
that no candidate could succeed unless
backed by multimillionaires. He made
an urgent appeal for the negro vote.
saying that he had always been a good
friend to the colored race.
The only other speaker was former
Congressman Thomas Parran. and. as
usual, he soon caught the audience
with crop of yarns" that inter
spersed his general remarks.
Governor Goldsborough, also gener-
ally understood to be a Warburton
supporter, was in the city, but did not
attend the meeting.

PROF. SMITH TO LEAVE
ALSO CAPT. CASSaRD
Head of Dept. of Mathematics De-
tached From Naval Academy.
NEW CHAPLAIN is SYDNEY EVANS
Neither Officer Nor Chaplain Had Any-
thing to Do With Incident Which
Gave Rise to Court Of In
qulrY.


Ii was announced al the Naval Acad-
envy today that Prof H. z. Smith. U.
s. ~, head of the Department of Ma
thematics, and Chaplain ". G. Cas-
sard, who has been attached TO the
Academy as chaplain for about a year
had been detached. Professor Smiths
successor is not known here,but Chap
lain Cassard will be succeeded by
Chaplain Sydney X. Evans.
Chaplain Cassard has been ordered
10 the Wyoming. flagship of the squad
ron which carried the midshipmen on
the practice cruise this summer The
squadron is now engaged in target
practice in the vicinity of the Capes
but it is understood that it will as
semble at New York later in the fall
During his tour of duty here Chaplain
| Cassard has preached with much force
at the Chapel, and has performed the
duties of pastor 10 the midshipmcn
and others at the Acadmey faithfully
Chaplain Cassard mas also taken
part in many Of the activities in An
napolis. His departure is much re-
gretted by those attached to the Ma
val Academy. 1t is not making too
great an assumption to say that the
letachments Of Professor Smith and
Chaplain Cassard make II plain that
il is the intention OF the Secretary OF
the Navy to make as nearly a clean
sweep of the officers who have been in
| control at the Academy as possible
| This was not the necessary inference
from the changes already announced
as in all but one or two cases, it was
possible TO place the change upon cir
cumsctances not connected with thc
matters bro lght out before the court
Of inquiry winch excmined into condi-
tions attending the scholastic work of
| the institution In these cases how
ever, the intention " detoching from
| the Academy as many as possible Of
| the officers connected with Admiral
| Fulam's administration seems clear.
Neither Professor Smith, who is a
gre iuate of the Naval Academy, or
Chaplain Cassard, had anything to do
with the incident which gave rise to
he recent court Of inquiry. Professor
| Smith. however. was q witness before
| the court and in the course of his tes-
iimony stated that he considered that
| the interference of high officials had
injured the standard of the Academy
Professor Smith cited the fact that
President Roosevelt had issued an or
der lowering the passing mark of one
examination, so that a number Of mid
shirmen who had failed, remained IN
the Academy, and that a Secretary Of
the Navy had taken similar action.
Chaplain Cassard had nc connection
with the matters investigated by the
court, and was not even called as a
witness. Representative Carlin, of
| counsel for the accused midshipmen.
criticised Chaplain Cassard for nav
ing written 4 communication to a
| newspaper, in which he supported the
administration Of Admiral Fullam. and
criticised attempts to interfere with
affairs at the institution. 1t is believ-
ed by some that this may have had
something to do with his unexpected

Anne Arundel ''Boss-Ridden."

\ large ana enthusiastic gathering
II citizens assembled Saturday night
1t the City Square, foot of Main street.
for the political meeting at which
Senator Blair Lee gubernatorial can
iidate, was scheduled to speak.
Delayed for nearly two hours in
reaching this city because OF his final
swing into Carroll county and a thun-
Ter storm that intervened and pre-
vented the meeting to be held atEIamp-
stead, Senator Lee brayed another

lid not arrive here until 10 o'clock
In the meantime, however, some Of the
local leaders started the meeting and
addresse by William l.. Marbury, A.
Theodore Brady, candidate for the
House OF Delegates. and Robert Moss
leld the audience together.
Senator Lee declared among other
things that State Comptroller Har-
rington would not be the proper Off
cial to guide the people of the State.
especially in view OF the issue of eff
cheney and economy 1t was the wind
up OF Senator Lees campaign He
spoke twenty minutes. ana discussed
comprehensively the issues OF the
campaign He began by saying that
the Democrats of Anne Arundel were
born with political EDUCATION, and
expressed confidence that they would
voice their sentiment for the great
progressive movement in the primary.
He commended in glowing terms the
Primary Election Law. saying that il
is the rule of the people as against the
boss system as fathered by Senator
Smith. lie declared that his opponent,
Mr.. Harrington, had never bcen an ad-
vocate of progressive legislation, and,
if anything, he is the proper candidate
of the reactionary faction In this
connection he referred TO the deficit OF
a million and a half dollars i'm the
state Treasury during Mir Harring-
tons incumbency as Comptroller
Mr. Marbury came forward with an
emphatic derial that Senator Lee
had made any kind of deal with the
city leaders with respect to the pres
ent campaign. In reply to Lees crit
les, he said: 81 would say in the first
instance, that from my long and inti-
mate acquaintance with Lee aud my
personal knowledge of his methods. I
know that he never makes deals with
anybody. and when he says he made
no deal in this instance you may rest
assured that the statement is true"
Mir, Moss asserted that Anne Arun-
del is the greatest boss-ridden county
of the country. He ridiculed the claim
that Mr. Lee is deserving the President
by his desire to leave the Senate. He
said that Federal Senatorship is vir-
tually graveyard for man who con
tinues to occupy it when he aspires to
a higher State office and he cited a
number of instances in support Of the
claim. Mr.. A. Theodore Brady presld-
ed over the meeting.

PRIMARIES LAST GALL
CONTEST ENDED TODAY
Political Conditions in This County
Are Unique in Campaign
Annals.
ALL PARTIES MAKE CLAIM.
Taken All in All,the Balance Indicates
a HarrineIon Victory.

The primary contests in both par
ties practically came TO their ends

voted to such finishing touches as Civ

ants in in the different precincts. To-
eating absent voters and arranging
for their return tomorrow, and in gen
eral, smoothing OFF the rough edges of
the campaign. IN Anne Arundel both
factions of the party are apparently
well supplied with the sinews of war.
In this county conditions are unique
because of the cleancut and doubtful
contests in both parties. While all
elements are expressing their conf
dence in a victory fair -mided and COM
petent judges admit that the fight is a
close one, and victory fairly doubtful.
However, there can be no doubt that
the balance inclines at least TO some
degree to Harrington as the victor on
the Democratic side, and Warburton
on the Republican side.
lt is conceded that Harrington and
the element of the party led by Dr.
George Wells. Isaac n. Nutwell Frank

that they viii secure sufficient major
tiles in the Germantown and Water

to overcome the harrington majority

trict. Progressives expect nearly, ii
not quite, an even break in the Third
and Eighth districts, and that the ma
jorities in the Fifth district and An
napolis will not be so strongly against
them as two years ago.
Ii il conceded taat Lee will run bet
ter than most of the candidates on the
Progressive ticket In fact, one COM
petent judge stated that he would not
lie surprised to see Lee get a majority
IN the county, bit the Harrington dele
gates to the State convention receive
majority Of the votes over the Lee
delegates. This would mean that the
Harrington delegates would be re.
quired to support lee in the cnnycn
tiou. II is also believed that Ander-
son. for the Stae Senate; Cox, for
81 >r-f., and, probably Gels, for the
House of Delegates, will run ahead of
the other candidates on the Progress
sive ticket.
Warhprton seems to have the sup
port Of The mos active Republicans in
the county, and it is likely 20 get the
local delegates The meeting on Sat
urday appeared to nave considerable
effect and as GovernorGoldsborough is
very popular here. his friends are
likely TO resent his treatment by Mr.
Weller and his friends and vote for
