TO FIGHT THE
POE AMENDMENT
DemOcratsWiII Organize Within Par
ty Lines.
PLATFORM HAS BEEN ADOPTED.
Every Affiliated Voter To Pc Asked
By Committee To Sign Protest
Against The Law

Every Democrat in the city of Bal
timOre is to be asked within the next
10 days or so to sign protest against
the proposed Poe DISTINGUISHING
amendment and declaration OF his
intention to vote against the amend
ment next fan Later the work of Sc
curing signatures to the protest and
declaration will probably be extend
ed to all the counties
This is the first attempt to organ
iZe the opposition in the city against
the proposed amendment, and it is
being confined strictly within party
lines 80 Democrats. 1t marks the
formal inauguration of a campaign
within the party against the amend
ment, and is the result of the wide
spread opposition among prominent
Democrats to the proposed amend
ment and the certainty that its adop-
ton will mean the perpetuation of
ring rule in the city and State and
the growth of evils similar to those
which led to the political landslide of
1895.
A committee consisting Of Messrs.
Alfred S. Niles, Archibald H. Taylor.
J. Southgate Lennon, Eugene
O'Dunne and Leigh Bonsal has vol.
unteered to start the work of secur-
ing signatures to the protest and dec
laration. This committee is only a
temporary one, for it may be found
after the work is well under way
that larger committee or perman-
ent organization of another charac-
ter is desired, in which event the
members of the first committee will
be perfectly willing to step aside.
Some such movement to organize
the widespread Democratic oppo-i-
ton to amendment has been urged for
several week past by prominent Dem
Ocratic opponents of the amendment,
and it was after repeated conferences
that the present committee was select
ed. This committee started to work
vigorously and prepared the form of
protest.

Jury OF lNQUISITION
Summoned Monday to Make Inquiry
Into the Mental Condition of Nc
Cleliand Friend,

McClelIand Friend, a farmer of
some means whose home is near Sand
Springs, "a few miles from Friendsyille,
was brought to Oakland several DAYS
ago by Sheriff Edward J. Frantz and
placed in Jail upon an order issued by
the Court directing the Sheriff to
take charge OF Mr. Friend until his
mental condition could be INQUIRED
into and determined by jury of in
QUESTION summoned for that purpose.
Monday morning Judge Henderson
came up to Oakland and Mr.. Friend
was examined before a Jury in the
presence of the Court. The testimony
showed plainly that Mr.. Friend was
mentally unbalanced, his condition
being caused by an injury to his
hand which is vergiug on blood pois-
oning, his entire arm being swollen
and the inflammation extending to his
neck, which in the opinion of the
physicians has affected his brain to
some extent, but with the proper
treatmentit is believed that his mind
will be restored.
Judge Henderson signed an order
placing Mr.. Friend in the hands of
Sheriff Frantz and instructing Coun-
tv Physician Legge to render the
proper surgical and medical atten-
ton.

VIM. R. DAVIS SUED FOR DIVORCE
Alleged to Have Married heyeTsdale
Girl Under An Assumed Name.

The SUIT tor divorce brought against
young William r. Davis by Mrs. Flor
ence Dawson, who alleges that be
welded her under the alias of Will
liam r. Dawson last March. has rous-
ed the keenest interest in this section,
particularly in Grafton, where the
suit is to be tried Davis is nephew
of Henry g. Davis, the folmer vice
presidential nominee on the Demo
cratic ticket.
The prominence of Nj Davis, no
less than the fact that he has wife
and child, has entered the eyes of
the entire socia' world of the STATE
on the case.
Mrs William R. Davis has not lived
with her husband for some time. She
is said to be now in New York on her
way to Massachusetts to visit rela-
tiyes, and is accompanied by her sor.
She has never sued her husband for
divorce. On their separation it is
said that Mrs. Davis received $3.50, 900
in cash.
1t is also said that divorce proceed
ings were held in allegiance by her be-
cause of the probable bequesthment
of large estate to her son from his
bachelor uncle, Congressman-elect
Thomas b. Davis, of Keyser. Mrs.
Davis was formerly Miss Hamilton
of Meyersdale, Pa.
The father of William K. DAVIS
helped to lay the foundation of the
great Davis fortune in the iron and
lumber trade. The son owns a num-
Der of mines and property in several
counties of West Virginia,
1t was to prevent him from trans
ferring suy of this property that the
woman who now sues him has secur-
ed injunctions preventing him from
disposing of it. Davis is said to be
fond of sports of all types. He owns
yacht and spends much time on
board, having made number of
cruises to the West Indies.
Mr.. Davis laughs at the suit of Mrs.
Dawson. He points to the fact that
the woman has been arrested three
times in Grafton; declares he never
married her under any name, and
that her scheme is one of blackmail,
pure and simple.

the Constitution of MARYLAND, known
as the Poe amendment.
We oppose it for req ons which
have been strongly set forth by Gov
ernor Warfeld. Attorney General
BRYAN and many other of our
thoughtful citizens.
1t is not necessary to here set forth
in detail these reasons.
We deem it sufficient now to say
that the granting of arbitrary powers
to the judges of election is clearly IN
democratic and will surely result in
I'M ing he liberty and rights Of our
citizens
We do not believe that ability to
construe our State Constitution
should be the I by which the right
of suffrage should he determined.
The election judges are not quail
fled to apply such a test.
We believe that this would be
found to be only a cover under which
rrscrupulous partisaps might easily
perpetuate their own power.
We have no opposition to an amend
ment in line with the Democratic
platform of 1903, which would restrict
the suffrage to Intelligent patriotic
citizens.
1t is entirely unnecessary to say
that if ever such a condition should
arise, We would oppose negro domi-
nation as resolutelv as any men in
Maryland.
But we do protest. in common with
the standard bearers of our party in
1908, against the particular amend
ment attempted to be forced upon us,
and with them, utterly repudiate it
as not only failing to fulfil the pledges
of the platform on which they stood,
but as directly opposed to its spirit.
We invite all who sympathize with
us herein to send in their names to be
added to our list.
Copies of this declaration are now
being distributed among a selected
list of 1000 Democrats, and by them
will be presented to all of the 10000
and odd registered Democrats in the
city of Baltimore. 1t is confidently
believed that every Democrat in the
city will be canvassed and that the
pum bar Of SIGNATURES of monty man
opposed to the amendment will sur
prise even the most sanguine of the
leaders in this movement against the
attempt to perpetuate the rings pow
er. Accompanying the declaration is
the following circular letter:
At the suggestion of number of
voters affiliated with the Democratic
party, we are acting as provisional
committee to organize the widespread
opposition which exists against the
adoption of the so-called Poe amend
ment to the Constitution of our State.
We inclOse a short declaration Oh the
subject, and we would be greatly
obliged if you would sign the same,
and also get other Democratic friends
to sign. 1t is most important that
prompt action be taken. If YOU
should not be registered as a Demo
crat, we request that you hand these
papers to some Democrat known by
you to be opposed to the amendment.
Please return paper at as early date
as possible to Leigh Bonsal, 81 Cal

Mr. Borglum replied with becoming
meekness. He acknowledged that though
he seemed to have strayed from the &C.
Realistically technical conception OF
heavenly messengers, he felt that artistic

the best methods of ecclesiastical art he

Borglum showed some feeling. He was
astounded. He had grieved over those
entrance angels AS his models had been
executed by the stone cutters, they seemed
to have lost all inspiration of light and life
and to have become like mortuary figures

they seemed so dead that he did not be-

Whether he has already done so or not
could not be learned. but certainly the
opponents of the feminine portrayal of an

their views are TO receive consideration.
The word has gone out that the angels
are TO be changed at once. The soft fem

Says DIR. Baruch:, II consider that have
done more to save life and prevent the
spread of disease in my work for public
baths than in all my work as a physician.
1t is the duty of a municipality to prevent
disease. 1t is the duty of municipality to
prevent immortality. I believe that money
spent for public baths where people can go
and get clean does more toward raising the
standard of health and morality than
much greater amount spent in any other
way" To this New Yorks health COM
missioner adds that public baths tend to
lessen pneumonia and tuberculosis, the chief
causes of mortality among New Yorks
poor because bathing reduces the liability
to colds and throat trouble. The Boston
Bath commission reports "a marked de-
crease in juvenile arrests during the past
ten years, and that the work of the bath
department has been the greatest single
agency in effecting this vital Improvement
in public morals"
In Baltimore the public bath movement
has resulted in law requiring a bath to
be built in every new house, the efficacy
of which, however, is questioned by mem

The public bath movement is branching

MODELLED FACES MUST Be CHANGED
over "A Score of Figures for n Chapel
in New York Episcopal Cathedral
and Not a Man Among
Them.

They're changing the faces of some
thirty or forty angels in the Belmont Me-
mortal chapel of the Cathedral of st. John
the Divine on Morningside Heights New
York City. The sculptor who modelled the
angels made them all women angels. And
the building committee, stirred up by OBJ
servant delegates to the diocesan conven-
ton of the Protestant Episcopal church re-
Gently in session here, has firmly but
solemnly ordered that women angels won't
do
The cathedral was visited during the con-
vention proceedings by many out of town
clergymen, as well as by many of the clergy
OF the city, who went sightseeing with
their rural brethren. In the last six months
all the sculpture which now decorates the
Belmont chapel has been executed, and
there was accordingly a great deal to see.
The manner of the discovery Of the scandal
of the women angels, according to the
stories being told in clerical circles, is that
one of the visiting rectors walked up to a
man apparently a layman by his dress,
who was fussing around the statuary with
some appearance of authority.
Pardon me-" said the clergyman, par
don me, my good friend, but can you tell
me who was responsible for the modelling
Of these figures-these angels?'

them myself or they were modelled under
my direction. Permit me TO introduce my
self-my name is Borglum"
The clergyman was just the least bit en-
barrassed, so he told his friends afterward,
by the attitude OF Mr.. Borglum. He is J..
Guntzen Mothe-Borglum, and is a WELL
known sculptor, and apparently felt that
he had done good work and that the clergy
man was about 10 express a fitting appre-

his convictions and pursued his inquiry.
