KILLS ONE, WOPHDS ONE Double Shooting Follows Christening In South Baltimore. SLAYER CAPTURED BY GUEST YOTELESS ONES ON GUARD "KING BILL" WADES IN Dispenses Cheer And Disperses Disputants At Picnic. CROWD FOLLOWS WHITE SUIT "Ruler Of. The Third Ward "There With Bells On" Ditto His Friend, Mr. Konig.

"King Bill" Garland, exalted ruler of the Third ward, reigned supreme yesterday, when he dispensed lavish hospitality at $1 per to the many nationalities which compose the constituency of his ward. They all met at the ninth annual outing of the Third Ward Democratic Organization Club, at Miller's Park, Dundalk. "King Bill" was there "with bells on," as he expressed It, and attired in a regal uniform of pure white, even to his slippers, he was the admired of all. He knew them all and called everybody by his or her first name. No king ever had a more devoted following and his word was law, as was demonstrated when several dozen of the many nationalities engaged in a strenuous argument.

Missiles flew thick and fast and the situation had grown acute when the "potentate" arrived on the scene. The lone county policeman was prudently using moral suasion upon the edge of the crowd, but such methods did not appeal to the ruler. That white suit mixed right in with the combatants and in about half a minute all hands were happy again. There was no speechmaklng, not a bit of it. "Bill" tabooed all that.

There was plenty of soliciting, however, by henchmen of the various political candidates. In fact, many of the candidates visited the grounds, as did also Col. Jerome H. Joyce and Col. Joseph L.

Wickes. Congressman George Konig strolled down to the feast and it was a case of "Hello, George" and "Howdy, Bill." After some comparisons had been made between yesterday's feast and the Congressman's picnic, which took place several months ago, Mr. Konig left. "If every one here ain't had a ripping THESE WILL BE VOTED time it's their funeral, not mine," said "King Bill," as he mopped his perspiring brow while getting ready to go home, "for the stuff's here and all they had to do was to go to it." Some of the "stuff" which was there and which took the picturesque exponent of the Third ward from 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon until early yesterday morning to get in shape, comprised 100 quarter kegs of beer, 300 loaves of bread, 150 pounds of sausages, 9 barrels of birch beer, 350 gallons of crab soup, 1,500 sandwiches and 40 barrels of crabs. About 2,000 of the constituents of the Third ward partook of the hospitality.

MR. BIAYS STAYS IN THE FIGHT Says He Has No Intention Of Leaving Contest For Surveyor. In a letter to The Sun Mr. Tolley A. Biays, candidate for the Democratic nomination for City Surveyor against Col.

Joseph L. Wickes, who is backed by the organization, says that because of efforts which have been made to persuade him to retire from the contest rumors have been started that he was out of the fight. Mr. Biays says that he is not only in the fight to stay but expects to win, and that he has no intention of allowing anyone to persuade him to retire in favor of Colonel Wickes. HAS MANIA FOR PAY PHONES Thief Again Takes Box From Arlington Railroad Station.

Some person has discovered that it is an easy thing to break into buildings where pay telephones are located and make away with the cash in the money boxes. The police of the county are diligently searching for him. The Arlington Station, of the Western Maryland Railroad, was broken into early yesterday morning and the pay telephone taken away. The instrument was found later under a coal bin at the coal yard of J. B.

Wailes. Early in July the pay telephone was taken from the station and the money box was found empty in a woods near by. Last week the pay telephone at the drug store of O. B. Farlow, York road and Arlington avenue, was taken away by some one entering the store.

FOR IN THE PRIMARY Blair Lee. Emerson C. Harrington. ATTORNEY. Emory L.

M. to 5 P. and in the counties from 8 A. M. to 6 P.

M. In the city affiliated Democrats can vote in the Democratic primary and affiliated Republicans in the Republican primary. As voters in the counties are unaffiliated, they will be required to state before the judges of election" the party to which they belong and then they will be allowed to vote in the primary of that party. THE SUN TO GIVE THE RETURNS It Yon Can't Get To See The Bulletins, Call St. Paul 7700.

Call St. Paul 7700. If you want to know how the political fortunes of Senators Lee and Gorman are going tomorrow night, call "St. Paul 7700" that's The Sun office and an experienced corps of operators will tell you the latest returns from the city and State. And if you want to come down town you can see The Sun bulletins from the time the first precinct return gets In, about 6.30 o'clock, until the result of the contest Is determined by reports from the city and all parts of Maryland.

Baltimore has only 28 votes out of the 129 In the convention, so that even when the final result of the city balloting Is known It will not allow of any accurate forecast of the general result. The Sun will show by the bulletins how the voting goes in the counties and how many votes each county has. The elaborate system for obtaining the Information will enable The Sun to give the latest returns every few moments. It is probable that the result will not be known definitely until after 10 o'clock because of the counties. This will allow any of those who desire to see the finish of a hot fight to take a car ride down town and enjoy the excitement.

If not, Paul 7700." DEATH PREVENTS VISIT Father Zudeck, Awaiting Mother And Sister, Learns That Parent Was Killed In Wreck. Expectantly awaiting the arrival of his mother, Mrs. Barbara Zudeck, of Buffalo. N. who was on her way to this city to pay him a long-delayed visit, Rev.

Albert Zudeck, assistant pastor of St. James' Catholic Church, received a telegram late Friday night stating that she had been killed in the wreck on the Lehigh Valley railroad, near Manchester, N. Y. He left immediately for the scene of the accident. Father Zudeck had not seen his mother and sister, who were traveling together from Buffalo, for a long time, and as they had written to him that they expected to reach Baltimore at about 6 o'clock Friday evening, was eager to greet them.

As the hour approached there was a ring at the door of the rectory, and instead of the faces of his loved ones the priest was met by a messenger boy with a telegram stating that both mother and sister were seriously injured in the wreck. As he waited for more news the final message came telling of the mother's almost instant death in one of the cars which fell from the bridge and stating that his sister had escaped injury. Rev. W. II.

Harrington, of Ithaca, N. one of the clergymen on the wrecked train who administered the last rites of the dying, sent the telegram to Father Zudeck. Mrs. Zudeck's body was taken to the morgue In Shortsville, N. and was Ifater shipped to Buffalo, where the funeral will be held.

TO QUESTION MRS. HALL TODAY Detectives Will A alt Her About Death Of Verna Hyle. Headquarters Detective John C. Day said last night that the mystery surrounding the tragic death of Verna Hyle, the 18-year-old girl who was killed by being struck by a Mount Washington electric car, on Falls rand, near Merryman lane, last Tuesday night, while in company with John H.

Mrs. Margaret Hall, wife of the man in the case, and companion of the girl at the time of her death, will today tell the detectives and Coroner Linthlcum, of the Northern district, what happened before Miss Hyle made the fatal leap. Detective Day believes that Mrs.

Hall will, by conclusive evidence, show that Miss Hyle was despondent and that she had been unhappy. The detective as well as the relatives of Miss Hyle accuse Hall of being the direct cause of the unhappi-ness. TWO MORE VICTIMS OF DOGS Children Bitten By Them In Different Sections Of City. Joseph Klaus, 8 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs.

George R. Klaus, 933 Linden avenue, was bitten last night by a fox terrier, said to be owned by Samuel Broder, 913 Linden avenue.

His condition is not considered serious.

A fox terrier dog also bit Robert Gunn, Colored, 8 years old, 707 West Saratoga street, last night. The dog is owned by Henrietta Sidney, also colored, and of the same address. The boy's wounds wero treated at the Maryland General Hospital. MRS. O'DONNELL BETTER Patrolman Denies Wife Left Note Threatening: Suicide.

Mrs. Thomas P. O'Donnell, wife of Patrolman O'Donnell, of the Northern district, who was discovered In the third story of their home, 2003 Boone street, unconscious from the effects of Illuminating gas, Saturday afternoon, has fully recovered and Is able to go about as usual.

RECEIVES GASH IN FIGHT George Schnltz Is Cnt In Face In Quarrel At Home. A fight that followed an altercation last night etween George Schultz and Richard Armstrong, wat the home of Schultz, 622 Wyeth street, resulted In Schultz receiving a severe gash on the left side of the face. The Injured man was attended by Dr. Edward Grampler, 515 Scott street. Armstrong escaped and the police are on the lookout for him.

He is said to have been drinking heavily yesterday afternoon. It is thought that he went to Westport after the fight. BOTH ARE AT MANAGERS' CALL One Candidate To Invade Kent And The Other Baltimore Connty In Last Quest For Votes. Senator Lee is not yet ready to sheathe his sword. Not until election day dawns and the ballots are dropping in the box will be quit the hustings and sit idly by, waiting for the answer of the, people of Maryland.

Senator Gorman is also unwilling to throw down his arms and declare an armistice until the people have registered their will, and he too, wants to be in the thick of the fighting until after the last call is sounded. And so it is that today, only one day before the primary election, will find both of the candidates, with their advocates, on the stump attempting to garner up to the last moment the fullest harvest of votes they possibly can get. Lee Off For Kent Today. Senator Lee left his home at Silver Spring late yesterday afternoon for Elk-ton, where he spent the night with Governor Crothers. Today the two will go into Kent county for a tour which, up to the last minute, will be uncertain in its itinerary.

This afternoon they will cross the bay to Anne Arundel county and at tend a big meeting at Annapolis tonight It is planned by the friends of Senator Gorman to take him into Baltimore county this afternoon, and while the Senator may not make a speech, he is expected to conduct a hand-shaking campaign which, in the last moments of the campaign, is looked upon as being as effective as speechmaklng. Seeking To "Snatch The Brand." Notable is the fact that in this last charge of both sides the rival candidates are entering counties which are supposed to sag heavily against them, and the tour of each will be regarded as a vigorous effort to "snatch the brand from the burning." Kent and Anne Arundel counties have been looked upon as Gorman strongholds. In Kent county the two rival factions are both with Gorman, while in Anne Arundel the organization, without much opposition from any faction, Is with the Howard county man. In both of these counties Lee people have been claiming headway, and from the workers in each at this late time has come a plea for a visit to help swing the tide. Few times in the past have two candidates for high office carried their campaign into the Monday immediately preceding the Tuesday of election.

It has been the custom to wind up the campaigns either on the Friday or Saturday night preceding the day of balloting. No Moment To Be Wasted. But in this fight both sides have been determined to "rush the lighting" and not to allow a single moment to be wasted. Senator Lee has placed himself at the disposal of his campaign managers and has gone wherever they have ordered. He returned to his Silver Spring home in the afternoon and would have liked to remain there, but the order came for Kent and Anne Arundel.

He said that in his trip into Southern Maryland he had been much encouraged by the situation there. Lee And His Friends Confident. "I am going to win this fight," he said, vigorously. "It is already won. The people are with me.

A great deal depends upon getting out the vote. Lee sentiment is everywhere. What we want now is to get the sentiment voted." Mr. William L. Marbury, who was in Southern Maryland at different times during the campaign, was also encouraged.

He said "I have been devoting a part of my usual summer vacation to canvassing some of the counties of Southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore in the interest of Senator Lee. "He is a sure winner in this fight, if I may judge by the interest of the people in those sections of the State. I traveled with Governor Crothers and part of the time with ex-Governor Warfield. We spoke at a number of places in Calvert, St. Mary's, Prince George's, Caroline and Dorchester counties.

The meetings were among the largest and most enthusiastic I ever saw. "Of course, in many of these counties, though not In all, most of the 'small' politicians were supporting Mr. Gorman, but the tide of popular sentiment is running against them with tremendous force. "I confess I derived a great deal of pleasure from my experiences. The young men down there are after these politicians 'hot and I like to see them do it.

Next to fox hunting It is about the best sport that I know. I wish I had more time for it. Unfortunately, the campaign is nearly over and so is my summer holiday." Governor Crothers said "It is my honest belief that Senator Lee will win the fight. The conditions in every one of the counties where I have been indicate that the voters are not paying any attention to anything but the issues of the campaign, and when these are considered it is inevitable that the Individual decision is in favor of Senator Lee. fc "The people are not, thinking about who is going to be the next United States Senator from Maryland.

They are not bothering their heads about the talk of what the primary means as to the alignment of the men in the Democratic organization. They are thinking solely of what it means to them as to who will be the next Governor of Maryland." No Doubt, Say Gorman's Friends. Senator Gorman returned to his home at Fair View, Howard county, late in the afternoon from Southern Maryland, much encouraged with his trip there. His friends say that the developments of the last few days have indicated that there is no longer any doubt as to his election. Part of today Senator Gorman will spend with his supporters in Howard, coming to Baltimore in the afternoon.

His campaign will cloe with a meeting in Higblandtown tonight, at which he will make an address. The betting favors Senator Gorman. Odds of 4 to 1 that Gorman will get the nomination have been offered freely in a number of places, while some bets of 2 to 1 that Senator Lee will not get a single district in Baltimore city have been reported. CITY RETURNS WILL BE EARLY Voters Need Not Walt Long For Local Resnlt Of Election. By 8 o'clock tomorrow evening, prophesies Chief Clerk of the Election Supervisors James E.

Hubbert, Baltimoreans will know whether Baltimore cast the most votes for Gorman or for Lee. And it is predicted by Mr. Hubbert that the way that Baltimore goes the counties will follow, and that the Democratic nominee will be the next Governor of Maryland. So it is also prophesied by him that Baltimoreans will know who will be the next Governor of the State by 8 o'clock tomorrow evening. Republicans will know by 9 o'clock, he says, which candidates were nominated in the city.

The complete ballot will be counted and the results verified by 10 o'clock. Ballot boxes will be carried to the office of the Supervisors of Election beginning about 6.30 o'clock tomorrow evening. These boxes were taken out of storage yesterday at the Northern and Southwestern Police Stations and were fixed up for their work tomorrow. The three portable booths, the only ones in the city, will be taken from their dusty quarters. One will be taken to the Fifteenth precinct of the Twelfth ward, another to the Tenth precinct of the Thirteenth ward and the third to the First precinct of the Fifth ward.

In these precincts no one was found patriotic enough to rent a room to the city to be used for the day as polling places. These booths are said to be rather expensive to make and to keep. Therefore, they are not likely to increase greatly in number. There will be 158,800 white ballots distributed for both Gorman and Lee followers. Only 60,000 pink, or Republican ballots, will be issued.

Half of the ballots will be sent to the polling places and the other half will be held at the police stations for emergency calls. It is said that it will be an intellectual feat to mark the ballots properly, but every citizen is warned to mark his in not more than 23 places. On the other hand, if anyone wishes to vote for only one candidate and puts only one cross mark on his ballot, and that in the right place, his ballot is good for that one candidate THE INVITATION IS UNANIMOUS He Will Decide On Answer Today And Send Telegram Of Decision To California Tonight. Rev. Peter Ainslie, of Fulton Arenua Christian Temple, received yesterday an official and unanimous call to the pastorate of First Christian Church of Los Angeles, the largest and richest church of that denomination on the Pacific Coast.

Though there had been rumors before of Dr. Ainslie's call and of his acceptance, this is the first official notice that he has had. In the telegram, signed by J. G. Warren, president of the official board of the church and a millionaire, are thesa words "We will rally round you as one man to advance Christ's kingdom.

California, needs you. All Southern California unites with us in this call. Will you come?" To Reply Tonight. That question Dr. Ainslie has not yet decided.

He will send a telegram tonight In reply to this call. If he accepts, he will begin his work on October 1. "I love Baltimore so much," Dr. Ainslie said last night, "and I am attached In so many ways to this old city that it would be hard for me to leave my church here for an evea more flattering offer. For 20 years I have worked in the church which Is now the Christian Temple.

Thte church is doing a great work, and this one congregation now has 20 young men preparing for the ministry. I do not know what an- swer I shall send to the church in Los Angeles." In all those 20 years In which Dr. Ainslie has built such a strong and vital church in this city, not a year has passed that he did not receive one or more offers from other and more prosperous churches. But the church in Los Angeles has made an exceedingly strong plea to the Baltimore pastor. Many private telegrams have been received by him from personal friends urging him to accept.

One from Charles C. Chapman, the "Orange King," of Southern California, from whose orange groves, it is said, come the most expensive oranges in the world says "We hesitate to interfere with your great work in Baltimore But we want you so much in Southern California." Strong Appeal To Accept. Another strong appeal in favor of Lo9 Angeles is the fact that two blocks from the First Christian Church is the church of Rev. Dr. Hugh Walker, former pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, in this city.

The First Church has a membership of 1,500 people. So, as Dr. Ainslie said "It is troubling him some" as to which way he will decide. Dr. Ainslie returned yesterday from Winona, in time to deliver his morning-sermon.

He had been attending the Church Federation and Christian Union Day of the Winona Assembly, where he made a stirring address on that subject. His fellow-speakers were Bishop William Frazer McDowell, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts, of the Presbyterian Church.

From that meeting Dr. Ainslie came back believing that the Christian churches would some day be united. "But Christian union will come sooner in India and in China than it will in America," he concluded thoughtfully. WHOSE MOTORCYCLE IS THIS? Machine Is At The Northwestern Police Station. The police of the Northwestern district have a motorcycle on their hands and are exerting every effort to get rid of It.

The machine was found yesterday morning by Patrolman Miller at North avenue ami Payson street and hauled to the police station in a wagon. It carries license No. 53. of the 1911 issue, which is held by the Roland Park Company, real estate dealers, but up to a late hour last night no representative of that company or any one else put In appearance at the station house to claim it. Inquiry in the neighborhood brought out the fact that a white man was seen to abandon the machine Saturday at the place where it was later found.

As no one came back for the machine, Patrolman Miller realized it was abandoned and took charge of it. CROSSES COUNTRY IN AUTO Mrs. J. E. Piatt Stone And Mr.

Pla tt Reach Los Angeles. A special dispatch to The Sex from Los Angeles, last night says: Mrs. J. E- Piatt Stoue, a sister of Mr W. D.

Piatt, 1109 North Charles street, and a society matron of Baltimore, reached this city yesterday after having crossed the continent. The touring car was driven by a chauffeur and covered the northern route, along the Oregon trail. The roads were rough and the accommodations along the route not to the liking of Mrs. Stone, but she declares she vastly, enjoyed the trip. She is accompanied by her nephew, Mr.

W. Davenport Piatt. son of Mr. and Mrs. Piatt, and a well-known member of the Paint and Powder Club.

"Through Iowa. Nebraska and Wyoming the going was particularly rough," said Mrs. Stone in talking of her experience. "Five days were spent at Yellowstone and the car was left out in the open at one point about 100 miles from Ashton. The entire mileage of the present trip totaled 6,480 "miles, which included a number of side trips.

"The Cauejo grade was one of the hist we crossed. It was not wide enough to allow another machine to pass. Grant's Pass, in Oregon, was fairly good, but was so narrow that we had difficulty in allowing another machine to pass. The trip was enjoyable, but we do need a national highway. We will not make the return journey In the same car." Mrs.

Stone has toured Europe for the past 10 years. Every summer she has been in the habit of crossing the water and enjoying herself In the Old World. This year she is on her first visit to the Golden West. She is glad to be here and says that she expects to spend more summers in Southern California. ALL POLICEMEN TO BE ON DUTY Marshal Arranging For Rigid Enforcement Of Election Laws.

Marshal Farnan last night issued special' primary election instructions to the district captains relative to the' policing of the precincts and the handling of the returns tomorrow. The Marshal anticipates a heavy Democratic vote and delieves that quite a number of the precinct will not return their figures until tomorrow at midnight or early Wednesday morning. The Democratic vote is expected to be very heavy in the eastern and northeast-' ern sections of the city. The entire police force will be on duty from 5 o'clock tomorrow morning until midnight. Squads of patrolmen will be sent from one district to another, for the Marshal has deemed it necessary that the patrolmen be on duty at each precinct in the city during the voting and counting hours.

One squad sergeant will be detailed to every three precincts. All round sergeants and lieutenants will be on duty. Marshal Farnan and Deputy Marshal Manning will arrive at police headquarters at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and durins the day President of the Board Wheltle and Commissioner Tome will visit the various districts. Marshal Farnan said: "I shall have every policeman on duty in the city, and woe to the man who trie3 to make trouble. Arrests will be made promptly and there will be sufficient mea on hand to Insure an orderly election.

"Every saloonkeeper, hotelkeeper and even private citizens know that it Is a violation of the law to sell or give away liquor on election day. This law will be strictly enforced. Today the police will warn the saloonkeepers. "The ballots to be used tomorrow are stored at the Southwestern Police Station. Early In the morning the ballots and bal- sV lot boxes will be taken to the other seven.

district stations and then delivered to the precinct polling places. SCORE SUFFER FROM SHOCK Members Of Thalia Maennerchor Injured While Returning From Excursion To Pen-3Iar. Two cars attached to a Pen-Mar train of the Western Maryland Railway, occupied by members of the Thalia Maennerchor and their, families, Jumped the tracks between Union and Hillen Stations at 10.15 o'clock last night, injuring seven passengers. A score of others suffered more or less from 6hock. The Injured are MR.

One man who refused to give his name. More Than 30O Aboard. The excursionists were returning from Pen-Mar and Gettysburg, where they had spent the day. More than 300 members of Thalia Maennerchor were aboard and that more were not injured is probably due to the fact that the train had stopped at Union Station and discharged a number of passengers. Shortly after the train pulled out of Union Station and as the engine was passing under the Guilford avenue bridge, the last two cars left the rails.

The railroad officials are making an investigation as to the cause. The train was made up of five coaches and a baggage car. The wreck was probably caused by one of the cars jumping a switch. Passengers In Confusion. When the cars left the tracks the passengers were thrown into confusion.

Before the train could be brought to a stop It had traveled 50 yards, according to some of the passengers. The cars bumping over the ties caused the lamps to fall from their sockets and these were quickly thrown out of the windows to prevent them from setting fire to the coaches. Every window in the two coaches was broken and flying glass added to the danger. Mr. George Himmelheber, the secretary of the Thalia Maennerchor, was passing from the rear car to the one in front "when the accident occurred.

He was thrown from the platform and landed on his head some distance ayay. Several friends saw him fall and jumped from the moving train to give assistance. He was carried from the tracks to a place of safety. As quickly as possihle the engineer applied the airbrakes and brought the train to a stop. Relief Train Sent.

An engine and several coaches were sent from Union Station and the passengers were transferred and brought to Hillen Station. The wrecking crew of tbe Western Maryland was called out, and after working for 35 minutes succeeded in placing the two cars on the rails. As soon as the relief train with the excursionists aboard arrived at Hillen Station the injured were sent to their homes. Those who were suffering from painful wounds were placed in taxicabs others boarded cars. The officers of the Maennerchor accompanied the injured to their homes and summoned physicians.

It was stated late last night that none are thought to be in a serious condition. Ends Pleasant Trip. accident came at the end of what was considered one of the best excursions the Maennerchor ever held. Early in the morning the members boarded the train at Hillen Station and went for Gettysburg. Several hours were spent on the historic battle ground.

In the afternoon they went to Pen-Mar, where they remained until the train for Baltimore left at 7.30 o'clock. The trip from Pen-Mar to Union Station was uneventful. BOAT CAPSIZES WITH SOLDIERS Two Privates From Fort Howard Have Narrow Escape. On their way to join some companions at Fort Smallwood yesterday morning, Privates Harry Chittwood and George Aber-nathy, of the Fortieth Company of Coast Artillery, stationed at Fort Howard, had a narrow escape from drowning when the rowboat In which they were at the time was capsized by a swell from a passing steamer. The two soldiers were thrown into the water and were forced to struggle, impeded as they were with all their clothing, until a launch near by came to their assistance.

Luckily, the two were good swimmers. As it was, Abernathy was bruised on the right leg, while his companion lost a valuable watch. Abernathy was able to go about after he had been attended by the post physician. Chittwood and Abernathy left Fort Howard with the intention of joining some of their companions for several hours of fishing and crabbing. They did not notice the steamer in time and were caught in the swell.

Their boat was tossed about like a plaything, and then, despite the efforts of the soldiers, capsized. CRAZED MAN BLOCKS CAR Victim Of Lightning; Accident Arrested At Catonsvllle. Patrick Hallernan, untily recently employed at Mount De Sales Academy, near Catonsvllle, caused considerable excitement yesterday afternoon on the railway tracks of the Catonsvllle junction of the United Railways. He stood in the centre of the tracks and refused to allow a car to pass, and It was with considerable difficulty that the conductor and motorman of the car carried him to the sidewalk. Patrolman Peters, who was in the vicinity, took Hallernan in charge and locked him up in the Catonsville Police Station.

It is said that Hallernan was returning from the city in a wagon several months ago during a severe storm, when lightning struck near the team, stunning him. Since that time he has been acting strangely and Tuesday he became worse. An effort is being made to have him committed to the Maryland Hospital for the Insane. PROFESSORSHIP FOE DE.
