crowd of men and women who were
seated on the piazza Of the United States

OF safety inside the brick walls. Per-
sons on the sidewalk also scattered in
panic.

minutes there was Wild excitement.
Fired Five Shots.
In the station house the explanation
was made that Adamson had had trouble
with Jacob Levy Henry Bunck, and

Tribute to Atkinson
In indorsing the denomination of
Comptroller Atkinson. the venerable ex-
Governor John Lee Carroll paid him a
high compliment and then appealed to
the delegates to use their best efforts
to secure the adoption of the amend
ment- The purpose was. said he, first.
to place an absolute limitation upon
the ignorant and venal colored vote,
and, second, in doing this, to keep the
white Republican party constituted
mere from the control of the policies
and the finances of Maryland.
The platform subsequently, adopted is
devoted almost exclusively to the
amendment, which is rlade the issue OF
the campaign, and then throws a little
bouquet at the State administration.
The adoption of this by roll call caus

an imposing affair Every county in the
State sent a large delegation. and from
beginning to- close there was plenty of
enthusiasm.
Aside from the denomination of Dr.

was naught done by the convention ex-
cept to boom the Poe amendment. This
was the one subject upon which every
speaker dwelt
Governor WarfieId had promised Dr.
Atkinson to attend the convention if he
could spare the time. This morning
he sent a telephone message from Anna

convention did business without him.

Senator Rayner was also conspicuous
by his absence. while Attorney General
Bryan on the outside was knocking
the amendment for all he was worth.
But every other leader or any conse-
quence was on deck, and, from Senator
German down. talked of the disfran-
chisement of the colored man.
Fords Opera House was comfortably
filled when Chairman Napdiyer called
the convention to order. He made a
speech in which he declared The key
