RITCHIE'S ILLNESS 2[1 DELAYS HIS PLANS ‘Maryland Governor Is Eager to Push Constructive Leg- islative Work. Special Dispatch to The Star. ANNAPOLIS, January 11.—Friends of Albert C. Ritchie, Governor of Maryland, are encouraged by recent developments in his case, but are far from reassured. The latest bulletins of his physicians make it clear that the governor must dismiss thoughts of legislative work for the present and devote himself to getting well. Gov. Ritchie has been, and is, a very sick man, and has been 80 weakened by overwork that danger exists if he does not call a sudden and complete halt in that line. This is what he does not wish to do, as his whole career may depend upon his success in securing constructive legislation for the state. The governor’s trouble has been in the line of influenza and bronchitis, and there has been fear of pneu- monia. However, the tendency has been away from this disease, though the physicians are maintaining a most careful watch. Those closest to him claim to be encouraged by the developments of the last twenty-four hours. Works on Many Detalls. Gov. Ritchle is a tremendously hard worker, taking little far granted and digging out many details that most people in his position would leave to assistants. This has required long working hours and an average of fifteen or sixteen hours a day has been maintained for many weeks. This is the underlying reason for the governor’s condition, his naturally robust health having been unable to stand the strain. The governor and many others in power in the state hoped that the present legislature would make a record in the way of getting down to business and passing upon the im- portant constructive measures which had been prepared. The governor and a few of those close to him were nearly in a position to present the framed measures to the different or- ganization leaders for introduction. His {llness has prevented the finish- ing touches from being made and has interfered with this routine. The the caucus of the democratic members and the naming of John M. Dennis, the incumbert, for state treasurer. There was-no opposition to his selec- tion, and he will be elected at today’s session. President Norris of named his committees, the senate but Speaker for the present, stating that the care necessary to make selections for so Senator Jones' Committees. Senator Jones of Montgomery coun- ty, who returns after a previous mem- bership in the Senate, fared well in committee selections. He was named as chairman of the committees on sanitary condition of the state and revaluation and assessment, and a membergpf the following committees: Agricullure and labor, executive nom- inations, finance, library, printing, re- trenchment of expenses, roads and highways and contingent expenses. Senator Sasscer of Prince George: a new member, was placed on impo tant committees, as follows: Amen ments to the constitution, corpora- tions, elections, insurance, fidelity, se- curity and loan companiey Nudicial proceedings, printing, railfbads and canals, and_supervision of employes. Senator McIntosh of Baltimore county was named as chairman of the committee on finance, carrying with it leadership on the floor. Other im- portant committees were headed as follows: Chesapeake bay and tribu- taries, Senator Brady of Anne Arun- del; corporations, Senator Legg of Queen Anne: Jjudicial proceedings, Senator Frick "of Baltimore _city; roads and highways, Senator Harri- son of Worcester. CANNOT COMMEND RUSSIA AS PLACE FOR A HOLIDAY ! MOSCOW, December 16.—Russia is no placé to spend a holiday, according to Serge Solovieff, formerly a business man of New York city and Syracuse, N. Y., and later a corporal in the United States 16th Field Artillery, who recently arrived here on his way home, tull of troubles and minus his’ clothes and $100 in cash taken from him at the frontier between soviet Russia and the Fag Bastern Republic, lovieft related that after six- teen years in New York he had accu- lated some money and thought he gould afford & hollday and {mprove his ealth. Lest June he lert Seattle for Japsn and then, as Russian, de- Sied"be wander nroagh SibenaThen he continued west, thinking to visit Moscow. But at the frontier he.was stopped by the ‘‘cheka,” as the active police is familiarly termed, his papers, money and clothes taken from him and he was told these would be held in safe keeping, as “everything was free in soviet Russia,” and plenty of new clothes and money could be had for the asking. After a fruitless visit to the “cheka” headquarters, where he heard light con- versation about how one-third of his fellow passengers had just been shot by mistake pending a closer examina- tion of their papers, he got aboard a departing train and reached Samara. ‘There he saw some Americans from the American Relief Admlnlstflflou. who gave him work at the rate of 75 cents & week, some food and clothes, and later he came in to Moscow, where he was able to get papers to take him to Riga, outside the Russia where ev- gathering last night was marked by | Lee, of the house, asked to be excused | large a body required a longer time. | ~rything and everybody is free. WASHINGTON SALVAGE C0.-5 STORES RUSSIAN. BALLET FACES THREATENED EXTINCTION Municipal Soviets Find Support of Opera Is Burdensome and May Lease to Furnish Funds. MOSCOW, December 14.—Russla’s greatest amusement. the balet, is threatened with extinction, The vari- ous municipal soviets are tiring of the deficit which they have to make up in order to keep the opera and the ballet going. Ballet and opera alter- nate In the big theaters. The ballet pays, but doesn't make enough profit to carry the opera and the great orchestras necessary to satisty the music-loving Russians. Ballerinas are the subjects of end- less discussion. Families break up over differences about the merits of Smirnova, Gelser, Gerdt and others who are now hold- ing the spotlight in Petrograd§and Moscow. To a lesser degree the same battle rages at Kazan and Kiev and Odessa. Just at the moment Luken is the hot favorite in Petrograd and Gelser in Moscow. Youth and beauty do not count with Russian ballet fans. It matters not if the ballerina is old. In fact, she generally has to be fairly mature be- fore she can master the intricate steps upon which Russians give points. She may have muscles which give her the appearance of a strong fady in the cirens and still fas Russian spectators if she can spin fast enough on her toes and shift her weight from omne big toe to the other at just the moment prescribed in the rules, At first a foreigne: admire the beautiful is inclined to and flowing n_impart to youth danc- ing to the music of a superb orch. tra. That is the result of utter igno- . rance. Gelser, the strongly-featured player of the Moscow circuit, recently fell on the stage and had to beat a_re- treat before catcalls and howls which made it impossible for her to reap- pear for a fortnight. Russian ballet fans are as merciless as the crowds at a Spanish bullfight. There are no excuses for failure. —_— ARMENIANS STILL FLEE. Famine Is Worse All Over Coun- try, Says Cable.
