Harmony On City Ticket Too.
Not only is there harmony as TO the
State ticket, but the result of Wednes-
days conferences between leaders was
an agreement that brought to head
the efforts at harmony in Baltimore
city which have been under way for
days. So far as Mahon and Kelly and
the organized factions are concerned,
there is to be.harmony in the NOM
nation of the city ticket. The divis-
ion of the city ticket was practically
settled yesterday. except as to can
didatcs for Clerks of Circuit Court
No. and the Superior Court, States
Attorney and Sheriff.
There was no difficulty in arranging
the State ticket, except as to the
COMPREHENSIVE Major Lee did not
want to take the nomination for
Comptroller on personal grounds
After he had been argued out of that,
he wanted to be assured that the
Baltimore city situation was adjusted
1t was not until nearly midnight,
after hours of conferences. that the
matter was thrcshed out satisfactorily
In final conference. to which John
Mahon had been asked to come, but
instead sent statement of his views
and purposes. and at which all the
other interests were represented. the
whole party situation was whipped
into shape. and word came down 10 the
lobby of the hotel that Major Lee had
accepted and that the ticket was COM
plctc and the party united again.

MRS. HAYES
SHIPWRECKEO
Woman Has Great Adventures
From Storm and Wild Animals
On Sea Voyage.

New York, August 5.-Shipwrcck,
storm and peril from lions and tigers
driven insane with fear were among
the adventures recounted by Mrs
Maud a. Hayes. wife of Scott Hayes,
son Of former President Rutherford h.
Hayes. who arrived here today with
her husband from trip to South
America.
Mrs. Hayes sailed from New York
on May 90 on the Chilean mail steamer
Limar. On June s, in calm sea, the
Limari went ashore Off Santa Rosa. ON
the north shore of Peru. Passengers
and crew took to the boats. and few
hours later encountered violent
storm, which, Mrs. Hayes said, dashed
the waves to a height of 80 feet and
tossed the lifeboat. about like cookie
shells.
The refugees were finally rescued by
the Peruvian ship Mantaro. but only
to be confronted with new peril The
Mantaro carried travelling menagerio
and the lions. tigers and monkeys were
driven frantic by the storm. The larg-
or animals made desperate efforts to
break from their cages, and then
bowls added to the tcrrors of the
storm. while the monkeys actually did
escape and fled, chattering wildly to
all parts of the ship.
Mrs. Hayes arrived here on the
Santa Luisa from Valparaiso. Cap
tain W. 7. Crossley, commander of the
ship. said that 800 persons lost THEN
lives in the storm which ravaged the
port of Valparaiso on July Is. The
Santa Luisa was taken 100 miles out
to sea to weather the storm, which
sent to the bottom about ten ships
including some intened German lin
ers. which had remained in port.

CHARLES RAY IN NEW PLAY

Charles Ray, the Thomas H. Ince-
Paramount star, appears in decided
~ new type of character in his new
photoplay Creased Lightning" which
will regret to learn her condition is
theater Saturday.
Americas theater-goers have seen
Ray in past performances as the
baseball player, the hired man, the
young city sport, the spoiled mothers
boy and the like, but no type of the
past gives him such opportunity for
his subtle comedy as does the small
town inventor, character he por-
trays with admirable taste in "Greas-
ed Lightning"
The play derives its name from a
racing automobile the product of
the young inventors genius, which
fails to work until the crucial moment
in the story Then it becomes the
speed demon that runs down the viii
liam.
Mr. Ray is surrounded by capa-
BILE cast, including Wanda Hawley,
Robert McKim, Willis Marks and
others. The story was written by
Julien Josephson and directed by
Jerome Storm, under the supervision
of Thomas H. Ince.
