Murray's return and all of them called to inquire about his condition. While none of them felt alarm, they urged Mr. Murray to rest several days before attempting to leave his apartments. T. M.

It is understood that an examination of the private papers of the late former Mayor Thomas G. Hayes will be made today to learn if he left a will. He was assured that he was in perfect physical condition and because of that, it is thought, he may have deferred making a will. "I feel as young and vigorous as a boy, and I am growing younger every day," he frequently said, just before he went away this summer, when he died suddenly. lie so methodical in everything else, however, there is a strong probability he did make a So far no sign of a will has been found.

The safe and desk in Mr. Hayes' office, on North Calvert street, have not been examined, the office remaining as he left it. Today search will be made there. It is said he may have had a safe deposit box in which a will miay be found. Miss Julia Hayes, sister of the ex-Mayor, was his only living relative, and she will be assisted in the search by J.

Frank Fox, who was closely associated with Mr. Hayes for a year past in his law cases and automobile trips. Mr. Fox went to Mountain Lake Park to bring back Mr. Hayes' automobile, arriving here Sunday evening.

The idea started with him while he was pastor of the Canton Congregational Church following a visit to Germany. He started a bath for the boys of his congregation, and its success was such he was led to advocate the establishment of them by the city.

Through the generosity of Henry Walters he was successful in having the city undertake the work, and from the establishment of the Bath Commission he had been its secretary. The son of the late Martin Beadenkoff, he was born in East Baltimore in 1865 and was educated in the public schools of the city and the Baltimore City College. He worked his way through Johns Hopkins University and later took his divinity at Yale. His first pastorate was in Maine, where he remained five years. He was then called to the Canton Church, filling the pulpit for 17 vears until his resignation in January, 1905.

This was caused by the employment of Sunday school teachers who were not members of the church. Mr. Beadenkoff took a decided stand against the practice, and when the congregation' voted him down he resigned. Surviving Mr. Beadenkoff are his widow and four children, Martin Morris, Anna Lucilc, William Gladstone and Mary Lima.

The older son and daughter are ill with typhoid fever at the Hebrew Hospital. He also leaves two brothers. William Beadenkoff, of Wilmington, and George Beadenkoff, a civil engineer with the Consolidated Gas Electric Light and Power Company, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Lawrence. THIEF GETS EXPLOSIVES Silver Case Containing Bottle Of Nitro-Glycerine Lost From Mrs.

Eiseman's Auto. Headquarters detectives yesterday were anxiously awaiting to 'hear that a thief had been blown to atoms. Why? Well, shortly after noon Mrs. G. Eise-man, of the Marlborough Apartments, reported to Acting Detective Captain Schanberger that a small silver case, 3 inches square, containing a bottle of nitro-glycerine, which is a deadly explosive, and two silver bottles containing drugs had b.een stolen from her automobile in the shopping district.

As soon as Mrs. Eiseman had made the report of the theft detectives began search of pawnshops looking for the thief. However-up to late last night they had not heard of a man's untimely death nor had they made any arrest. Mrs. Eiseman stated over the telephone that the silver case was left her by her late husband and that she valued it at more than $1,000.

Some time between Saturday evening and Monday morning burglars entered the buildings at 309 and 311 South Charles street and secured over $56 in cash and a fountain pen.

In the Mason Produce Company's store on the lower floor of 309 the telephone box was broken open and its contents, which have not yet been deter mined, were taken.

accompanied by Charles E. Citv Solicitor, and Joseph E. English, City Engineer, came to this citv yesterday to inspect the Fallsway and learn just how Jones tails was cov ered. HE WILL ACCEPT CLEVELAND PASTORATE i 4- is- .7 'K REV McILYAR I. LICHLITER WWW -tov x-- i pgv Ik si THEY LINE DP FOR "TOM" Democrats Said To Be Agreed On Renominating Sheriff McNulty.

HE LABORED LONG FOR JOB And Now, When Salary Is Boosted Pleasantly, Organization Is Inclined To Reward Him. Of course, it would not be natural if "Tom" McNulty had no opposition for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff. But, at least, he may comfort himself this time with the fact that the Democratic organization is for him and that the combination of his personal friends and the organization probably will put him over without much difficulty. Charles J. Weiss, of the Fourteenth ward, is opposing "Tom" for the nomination.

According to the dope that is going' around, John Mahon and the other organization chieftains came to the conclusion some time ago that it would make a good deal of trouble for themselves, as well as for "Tom," if they opposed him. That had been their experience in the past. Besides, they like "Tom," as everyone else does. Besides again, "Tom" is an asset to the organization when he is going along with it or they are going along with him, as you prefer. So the word is out that it is "McNulty this time and no trouble about it." State Was Hard On Job.

The job is attractive now, almost as attractive as in the good old days, when the fees piled up and up and then slid down and down into the Sheriff's pocket. In those days the job was worth a lot of money, some said $12,000 a year and some said more. Then along came the State and lopped off all except the constitutional salary of $3,000. The State put over that rule about the time "Tom" got the job after fighting and singing and walking and praying and eating and speaking for years. "Tom" was disappointed.

There is no doubt about that. When all is said and done, $3,000 a year for two years is not much to get from a political job that you have been pursuing year in and year out. So "Tom" went to Annapolis in 1914, sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "My Wife's as Good as Gold" a few times and cooked several fish suppers, and then the Legislature submitted an amendment to the Constitution increasing the salary of the Sheriff of Baltimore city to $6,000 a year and making the job a four years' one. Also the Legislature provided that the proposal should be submitted to the people in the Congressional election that fall, so that it could be put into effect when the Sheriff to be elected this fall takes office. The proposal wras adopted by the people, and if "Tom" is elected this time he will be fixed for four years at $6,000 per.

After the four years he probably will be elected for life; that is, if he does not. have to hang some one in the meantime and become disgusted with his job. Born With Desire For Office. "Tom" McNulty was born with the desire to be-Sheriff of Baltimore city. He 'was nominated the first time nearly 20 years ago, but was beaten in a Republican landslide.

He kept coming back after it. Four years ago he ran in the primaries, but was beaten by J. Albert Hughes, who was supported by the organization. That was the time when they "threw the hooks" to him by forgetting to count some of his votes and by counting some of his for his opponent. Two years ago he ran again and defeated "Eddie" Hargrave, who was supported by "Frank" Kelly.

"Tom" won that time, and won hands-down in the election. He has been holding the job since and singing unceasingly. BOY DIES FROM AUTO INJURIES John Bnedel Operated On Twice In Attempt To Save Life. John 12 years old. of Eastern avenue, near Riverside Drive, Baltimore county, died at Bayview Hospital last night, as the result of injuries received Wednesday night when he wras thrown from an a Jtomobile.

The boy was being given a ride on a motor delivery wagon of Bernheimer when he fell from the dashboard, caught his right leg in one of the front wheels and was whirled over and over in, the road before the machine could be brought to a stop. The ligaments of his leg were torn and twisted from the knee to the heel and two operations were resorted to in an attempt to save his life. He is the son of Philip and Margaret Buedel. A brother and a sister also survive him. MRS.

Mrs. Henry Keidel, of Catonsville, fell yesterday afternoon at Homewood, her country home on Ingleside avenue, and fractured her leg above the knee. She has been an invalid for years and was walking about her home with the aid of crutches, when one of them slipped and threw her. felie was assisted to her room and medical aid was rendered by Dr.

LUKE'S HALL Miss E. M. Crowe Resigns After 45 Years As Principal. WAS FIRST HEAD OF SCHOOL Miss Frances Dawkins Appointed Successor, With Vernon Lane As Assistant To Be Reorganized. After an uninterrupted service of 45 years, Miss Emma H.

Crowe has resigned as principal of St. Luke's Hall, Carey street, north of Lexington, founded by the late Kev. Charles Woodruff Dawkins, daughter of James A. Daw kins and niece of Judge Walter I. Dawkins, of the Supreme Bench.

Miss Dawkins will be assisted by Vernon Lane. The school will reopen, for the tall and winter term on Wednesday, September 15. i To Reorganize School. To be reorganized and placed on a more modern basis, school will be under the supervision of the Rev. E.

Dering Evans, rector of St. Luke's Church, and a board of lady managers selected from graduates and communi- cants of the parish. In a prospectus just issued by the rector it is announced that the studies will include the regular primary and grammar grades of the public schools, with special attention to deportment. There also will be playground work, drawing, calisthenics, manual training for boys and sewing for girls. Instruction also will be given in the Bible, the church catechism and worship.

Many men and women who have achieved success in Baltimore and elsewhere attended St. Luke's Hall during the early days of its history, and a movement now is on foot to form an alumni association. In the September number of St. Luke's Record, the parish paper, the Rev. Mr.

Evans has the following to say of Miss Crowe and the school in a pastoral letter announcing her resignation: Miss Crowe Praised. "It is not easy for one who is almost a newcomer to speak about the long and faithful service which Miss Crowe has rendered to the church and to the women of this place since she came 45 years ago as principal of St. Luke's Hall. But it is my duty to announce that Miss Crowe has resigned her charge. She has come to the time when she very rightly claims a release from the responsibilities and anxieties which she has for so many years sustained.

Miss Crowe came to St. Luke's at the invitation of our great rector, Charles Woodruff Rankin, when he initiated the hall school, which has enjoyed a reputation second to none among the schools in Baltimore. It is, I am sure, a true prophecy that as long as this generation lives the names of the founder and the first principal will be remembered together. There are hundreds who owe to Miss Crowe that great blessing of a good education; a possession which has not merely secured for them success in life, but that more rare attainment of true wisdom, which is deeper and more enduring than "book learning," because it is built upon the foundation which nothing can shake, which is the knowledge of God. I am expressing the wish of very many in hoping that Miss Crowe may long enjoy the affectionate regard and esteem which we bear for her.

"We have secured the services of Miss Frances Dawkins as principal, who is a graduate of the Western High School, and has had 12 years' experience of scholastic work and of whose qualifications we have a high opinion. Vernon Lane will assist her in the school. Mr. Lane is already known to a good many through his excellent work with our boys last winter, and I am sure he will prove 'an acquisition to the staff." KELLY SUFFERING FROM COLIC "Danny" Tells Xews With Sombre Mien, Then Dares Joke. "Hear about Kelly?" asked "Danny" Loden yesterday, looking sombrely through his big eyeglasses.

"No; what is the matter with him?" "Got the colic." "Got the what?" "Got the colic." "now did that happen; where is he?" "Oh, he's up at No. 8 truck house, in Lafayette avenue, near Gilmor street. They have him in the hospital up there and he's in a bad way." Then it dawned. Some fireman, undoubtedly one of the "boys" and probably an Irishman, some time ago named one of the No. 8 horses Loden and another one Kelly.

"Yes." continued "Danny," still sombrely, "Kelly has the colic. -I'm not up at No. 8 any more: they transferred me to No. 14, on Hollins street, near Pavson." "Why?" "Oh, Kelly got to kicking." VALUABLE HUNTER IS KILLED Miss Cromwell Had Ridden Mount Only Once. A valuable busier and jumping horse belonging to Miss Mary Evelyn Cromwell, daughter of Richard Cromwell, of Catonsville, was found in the pasture at Foxhall, the country place of Mrs.

Cromwell, on the Rolling road, several days ago, with a broken leg. The animal was killed. Miss Cromwell, who, with her mother and sisters, is spending several weeks at Atlantic City, purchased the animal in Green Spring Valley, before leaving for the seashore, and had ridden it only once, the horse was taken to Foxhall and turned out on pasture and stepped in a hole in. the field, it is believed.

The acceptance of the call by Dr. Eichliter is subject to the consent and approval of Bishops Cranston and Anderson, of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop William' F. Anderson, resident bishop in Cincinnati, who also is the presiding bishop of the Northeast Ohio Conference, will transfer Dr.

Lichliter to the Cleveland church if consent is given by Bishop Earl Cranston, of Washington, who has supervision over the Baltimore Conference, which embraces Grace Church. This transfer probably will take place on November 1. Praises Congregation's Loyalty. In his letter to the official board of the church announcing his decision Dr. Lichliter referred in the highest terms to the loyalty of Grace Church and his appreciation of the unfailing kindness or the official board and the entire membership.

The personal relations, he said, have been so pleasant that the ties were severed with feelings of regret, and that nothing would justify such a radical change where he was concerned within less than three years but the presentation of an unusual opportunity for constructive service to the church. Dr. Lichliter called attention to the fact that during his brief pastorate the church debts had been paid and extensive improvements made. The young people's work of the church has been developed in the direction of community service, so that Grace Church has been represented in nearly every social agency at wTork in Baltimore. Dr.

Lichliter has been a member of the board of governors of the City Cluo, the board of directors of the City Wide Cogress, the Baltimore Council of Boy Scouts and the advisory board of the Social Service Corporation. Dr. Lichliter is a forceful preacher and an untiring worker in all matters pertaining to church activities. Upon receiving the invitation extended by the Cleveland congregation. Dr.

Lichliter gave- the matter careful consideration and, while he loved his congregation and church in Baltimore, and Baltimoreans as well, he felt that it was his drfty to go to what he considered a larger and more useful field, he said. New Charge Has Many Members. The Cleveland church of which Dr. Lichliter becomes pastor has a membership of about 1,700 and is now in the midst of a campaign to increase its membership to 2,000. It is known as the most completely organized church in Methodism.

There 'are 20 departments of work, supervised by a paid staff of 10 assistants, lay and clerical. Last year these departments enrolled as active workers over 2,500 persons. For all purposes a budget of over was raised in 1914, which is considered a remarkable achievement, because the church does not include in its membership any men or women of large wealth. It is a democratic church, located strategically between the downtown section and the Euclid avenue residence section of the city. Its membership is made up of progressive business and professional men and their families with large numbers of young men and men employed in the city who reside near the church.

The church is open all the time. There are friendship parlors provided for the young people without homes, and a gymnasium is filled with classes under the direction of salaried physical directors. The church also maintains a weekly paper. The former pastor, Dr. Worth M.

Tippy, recently was transferred to the pastorate of Madison Avenue Church, in New York, after serving Epworth Memorial nine years. MANY CAUGHT IN AUTO TRAP Mrs. G. Li. Lucas And Allan McLane, Anions Sunday Victims.

Mrs. Gilbert L. Lucas, formerly Miss Sara Belle Williams, and Allan Mc-Lane, son of Judge Allan McLane, wre among those caught in an automobile trap last Sunday set on the Annapolis road by Special Officer George Hagan, of the Automobile Commissioner's office. The warrant for Mrs. Lucas was issued in her maiden name, as the number of the machine corresponded to the one owned by her before her marriage the past summer.

At the time Mr. and Mrs. Lucas were on their way from their home on the Severn river to the home of Mrs. Lucas' parents, Mr. and Mrs.

on the charge of exceeding the i speed limit a a motorcycle, cratic nomination for State's Attorney. Albert A. Brager was made chairman of the committee and made a brief speech in which he said that he would give his strongest aid to Mr. Leach, Paul J. Prodoehl was elected chairman of the executive committee.

A working force of 10 men in each I ward was named to take charge of I Mr. Leach's fight. Those named have pledged their support and many of them wprfi nresent at the meeting. It is planned to hold another meeting of the organization Thursday night, when, it is expected, larger quarters wall have been obtained. Those at, the meeting said they believed he had a splendid opportunity to win.

Mr. Leach was present and made a short speech in which he gave his conception of the qualifications which the State's Attorney should possess; and also gave his references with respect to his own qualifications. In part, he said: "In the circumstances, it will be pardoned if I talk about myself, not only as a lawyer, but as to my attitude as a man toward my fellow-men. After all a consideration of the personality of any man who would hold the great office of attorney for the State in this I city is not to be avoided it is oi as much importance as is the ascertainment of his status as a lawyer. The Qualities Needed For Office.

"Capacity without 'the common touch' will not suffice. The purest democracy of nature, without proved capacity, will not suffice. Both should be held to be absolutely essential in connection with this, the third most powerful place in the State. If I have the one or the other qualification it must be left, in the last analysis, for those who know to answer the inquiry. "I ean only say that I do know the thoughts that come to the humble and the lowly.

I also believe that my opportunities for observation and study have enabled me to get a reasonably fair 'squint' at the point of view of those who are "blessed with great station, financial, social or otherwise. This last from the purely human side should serve to temper and make less hasty, conservative if you will, the free impulse toward the bottom man, which came to me by inheritance. "With regard to my status as a lawyer I make bold to say that I believe any active member of the Baltimore bar or any of our judges here or in the Court of Appeals will give me a certificate. At any rate, I confidently take the risk of urging the inquiry. Men like William Cabell Bruce, Shirley Carter, Harry M.

Ben-zinger, William L. Marbury and S. S. Field all of whom have indorsed me surely know sufficient of -who's who among lawyers to me some ground for pretention along that line. Opponents Still His Friends.

"I have no criticism to make of any of my opponents. They are all my friends. Let them criticize each other if they so desire. I shall, of course, be mighty glad to get support from any and all possible sources. The purely political leaders say it is an open fight.

1 am taking them at their word." An idea has been growing in the last few days that the Democratic organization may turn to Mr. Leach finally. Up to this time, John J. Mahon has said that the organization as such was hands off in the fight, and the marked ballots, which have been prepared for the organization workers, have no mark in the State's Attorney's box. But a good many people think that word may come down a day or so before the election for one of the candidates, and that if it does, Leach has rather a better chance than any of the others in the fight.

He has been in the City Solicitor's office for the last four years and has made an excellent record. Mr. Leach was educated at the University of Virginia and the University of Maryland, and studied law in the office of the late Mayor Thomas G. Hayes. NO HOPE FOR COL.

CUNNINGHAM JndgeOf Appeal Tax Conrt Thooght Dying At Hospital. Col. A. B. Cunningham, judge of Appeal Tax Court and formerly a well-known newspaper man of Baltimore, is in a critical condition at the Union Protestant Infirmary and his death is expected momentarily.

At his bedside are his daughter, Miss Martha Cunningham, and his son, Adkins B. Cunningham, a lawyer of New York. The son was summoned by telegram Sunday night, when the physicians at the hospital gave up all hope for the recovery of his father. An operation' was performed on Colonel Cunningham about 10 days ago, and since that time he has been gradually sinking. All day yesterday a number of newspaper men, who had known Colonel Cunningham for many years called at the" infirmary to inquire as to his condition, while several of his inti-, mate friends remained throughout the day.

i i erick county and is putting the Weiler people on their mcrTIiS in Allegany. Leaders Just As Busy And Mad. The leaders and workers supporting the several candidates are working almost as hard as the candidates themselves. In the Democratic camp Mayor Preston. Citv Solicitor Field, William H.

Lamar, Naval Officer W. Mitchell Digges and others are going from early morn to dewy eve for Lee. And Senator Smith, Congressman Congressman Lewis, Insurance Commissioner Shehan, District Attorney Dennis and their associates are pulling against the collar for Harrington. All are fighting mad. Lee men and Harrington men are at fever pitch, and "one seeking excitement need do no niqre than suggest to Mayor Preston that Lee will be beaten or to suggest to Senator Smith and Mr.

Talbott that he will win. In the Republican camp the interesting fight is not between Mr. Weiler and Mr. Warburton. it is between former State Senator Jackson and Governor Goldsborough.

Those erstwhile devoted friends have their snickersnees out and nicely sharpened and are peering at each other around the corner. Mr. Jackson is openly for Mr. Weiler; the Governor is privately, but vehemently for Mr. Warburton.

The most interesting point of contact of the two leaders is in the Governor's home county, Dorchester. The Governor is at work down there for Warburton, so it is said, and Jackson has gone in to trim him. lie has sent word to the leaders and workers in the county who followed him and his father, the late William H. Jackson, for years, that the Weiler fight is his fight and that he wants them to take their coats off. He also has sent a letter to the Republicans in the county in which he explains that he swung to Weiler because he believed the latter to be by far the strongest man the Republicans could nominate.

Money Is Flowing, Tis Said. Talk of money is beginning to be heard in some detail. It is said that some of the county leaders supporting Lee have been to the city and it is expected that the county people favorable to Harrington will be heard from soon. It is common gossip that a large amount of money is to be spent. It is somewhat difficult to spend money under the Corrupt Practices act, but, in the past, it has been found possible to employ runners and hire teams and automobiles in a manner that "brought the answer." The chances are that a good deal more money will be spent by the Democrats in the city than has been the custom lately.

The Harrington people will have to pay most of their runners and that will take a good deal of money. The Lee-Preston people probably will have plenty onhand to match the Harrington men, so far as it may be necessary. Roads Chairman Weller's campaign is said to be well financed. Mr. Jackson is reported to have contributed a substantial sum and from all accounts Mr.

Weiler, who is a man of means, has been especially liberal. His friends say he is the sort of man who plays the game up to the hilt, once he gets in. Mr. Warburton apparently has money to burn. He is running a big headquarters force, he is advertising lavishly when it seems that something may be ac complished thereby and he has sent out tons of literature.

All Use The Mails Liberally. The literature-sending game has been played principally by Lee and Warbur- ton. the tormer is tne man who really started it. Four years ago he wrote letters to all the Democrats and this year lie is sending out pamphlets. In the last few days practically every Democratic voter in the city has gotten a pamphlet giving a resume of Lee's career, a statement of the measures his friends credit him with passing and a Brief of his platform.

Speaking of the money spent and to spent brings to mind the comment tre many observers that "this campaign has no place for a poor man." The fact of the matter is that only a rich man or one backed by rich men can do more than hover on the edges. It probably is not extravagant to estimate the total expenditures for the primary and gen- end elections at close to a half million! dollars, counting in all the local candi- i dates as well as those running for state oCicos. The hitter probably will spend or have spent 'for them a quarter of a I a -I.
