DEMOCRATS GETTOGETHER
To Effect Organization of "The
Democratic Club of
Annapolis"

A meeting was held of representative
citizens and Democrats Of this cit last
night at the Assembly Rooms for the
purpose of effecting a permanent Or
ganiZation. The meeting was well
attended and much interest was mani
tested. Winston q. Gott was elected
chairman of the meeting and q. Wyth
Munford, secretary.
The following order was adopted :
"That the chairman of this meeting
appoint the following committee con-
sisting of three members each: Com
mittee on Permanent Organization,

mittee on Speakers, Committee on
Finance, Committee on Increase Of

New Law Turns Many Down.

There was great dissatisfaction at
the offices of registration yesterday
over the new law which went into
effect for the first time. A number of
men who desired to register and be-
come voters here were turned down
and they justly had a kick" coming.
Literally the law means that any one
wanting to vote must become mat
uralized Citizen That is they must
express their intention of voting here
a year previous to their registration
and must get out certified papers to
that effect. The law seems TO be pre-
posterous. Three men-two of them
Democrats, were turned down yester-
day and were not allowed to register
in the Second ward, and others in the
First and Third wards.
The law was passed by the Demo
Gratis and according to the way the
wind blew yesterday, it looks as if
the Democrats took stick to knock
themselves in the head with, as most
of those refused registration would
have voted that ticket. Among those
turned down in the Second ward was
Professor Voinot, of the Naval Acad-
emy, who expressed his regret at not
being able to register. Another in this
ward who was also turned down was
Mr.. Coghlin, of California, who has
been resident of Annapolis for two
yoars. Young men who expect to
live to be 81 and TO vote had better
get a hustle on and express their in
tention now, or they may be turned
down when the times comes. Nothing
like being 'naturalized.

to be insignificant:

There is a vast difference between
taking in an army of Firms, with only
n in a hundred, or of Scandinavians,
with less than four in a thousand. illit-
crate, and an army of Creates and Slo-
venes, of whom more than one-third,
or of South Italians, of whom nearly
one-half, are illiterate. There is also
a vast difference between taking in
such numbers of aliens as can be as
simulated and Americanized, and such
numbers as cannot be thus dealt with,
but actually transform American into
semi-alien communities. The yellow
peril used to be consider ed a dreadful
thing in San Francisco, and the pres
ence there Of so large a body of Chinese
Is undoubtedly to be deplored. But San
Francisco has not now the largest pro-
portion of aliens. New York, Boston
and Chicago all exceed 1t.
The proposal in Mr.. Adams bill is
that not more than $1,000 immigrants
shall be admitted into the United States
in a year from any II country. That
would not shut out a single German or
OChliulldNldu UT lTlSDIUdH. IL WOulQ
reduce the number of immigrants from
just three countries, Italy, Russia and
Austria-Hungary, and those are the
very countries from which we are now
receiving by far the largest number of
illiterates and ~semi-paupers. With the
exception of the one item Hebrews"
all the immigrants given in the first of
the two tables above are from those
three countries; and so are most of
those indefinitely classed as Hebrews"
1t is, moreover, from those three coun-
tries that immigration into America is
most rapidly increasing. Whether such
a restriction as Mr.. Adams proposes
would be sufficient, and would be effec-
tive, may be open to question. But it
can scarcely be questioned that in self
defense, for the preservation of our
national stock from degradation, some
means should be Devised and promptly
applied which will check the influx of
human derelicts.

MAN WAS DRUCCED;
DECOYED TO NEWARK.
Or. ]. A.. Boice, of Baltimore Is In
a Critical
State.

NEWARK, n. j., May 12.-Apparent-
ly lured to this city and drugged, DR..
J. a. BEIGE of st. Agnes hospital, Bal
timore, is in st. Michael's hospital
here unconscious and in a critical con-
dition. He was taken from d Pennsyl-
vania train and removed to the hos
pital. The physicians in charge say he
has been drugged. He was revived
long enough to tell his name and oceu-
patton, but almost at once relapsed
into Inconsistencies. In one of his
pockets was a telegram sent from this
city and dated May 8. 1t asked DR..
Boice to come here to consult with 'Dr.
Barton relative to the case of a Mr..
Wilson.
There is no DIR: Barton registered
with the department of health, and not
n of a score of physicians in different
parts of the city know of any such doc
tor practicing in the suburbs who
might be called into a case in Newark.
The police believe the name was a
faxed n and that the doctor was de-
coyed here. 1t has been learned that
he was placed OF the Pennsylvania
train at Jersey City by two negroes.
