MARYLAND POLITICS
EXCITING EPISODE AT GATHERS
BURG AT PRIMARY ELECTION.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
GAITHERSBURG, Md, August 5.-Great
excitement is prevailing here today at the
scene of the democratic primary election.
1t was announced to take place at the old
public school building on Frederick avenue,
and general indignation was expressed when
when the polls were opened on the upper
floor of Etchison's drug store.
The Jones adherents are said to be in con-
troll of the machinery Trouble was threat
ened when two clerks were selected by the
primary board. both Jones rooters and
minors. The Lee people at once made
dash for the polling place, led by Mr.. Frank
c. Hutton. Mr.. Seadoc M. Cooke, DR.. l. G.
Warfield and others, and demanded fair
play. George w. Selby, the town marshal,
had been placed at the door to preserve
order, but he was literally swept from his
feet. When these gentlemen reached the
room upstairs where the polls were DR.. E.
Henning Etchison, the chief primary judge,
was appealed to for the granting to them of
a clerk and watcher.
A personal encounter ensued. 1t Is al
legged that DR.. G. w. Etchison drew re-
volver on DIR. Warfield, but this was stoutly
denied by the Jones people.
The Lee men went before Justice Gar
rett whose office was around the corner
and had a warrant sworn out for Dr. Hen
ming Etchison, who was held for future
hearing in the sum of $500 Amid the
greatest excitement Mr.. Hutton was final
ly admitted as Lee watcher
While this going on the marshal
locked and guarded the doors. This was
met by threat of the Lee workers to
break down the door unless a square deal
was granted. At the time of this dispatch
things had quoted down and leading citt-
Zens were eXhorting peace on all sides.
The Jones people claim the district by
seventy-five votes, but a conservative poll
would indicate that Lee will proba bly, have
a majority of from thirty to fifty votes. All
interest centers in the fight for senator.

BAKERS AROUSED.
Those in Richmond Object to Wash.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, August 5.-The bakers
OF this city are much wrought up over the
action Of the local grocers and small deal
ers who are bringing bread from Washing
ton and curtailing the output here. Some
time ago the bakers here decided to run
open shops" and several OF them dis
charged the men who declined to quit the
union and work with non-union men. The
bakers got to work and visited many Of the
small establishments which handle bread
the result being that bread made In union
shops in Washington was introduced here
and inroads have been made upon the shops
here which were operated with non-union
help. Bread is gotten here twice daily-in
time for the breakfast table and in time for
supper. The claim is made by dealers here
that the imported bread is superior to the
local product, in that II Is whittier and
lighter. The local bakers are making ef-
forts to regain the trade which has been
lost to them
An ordinance is now pending II the city
council requiring the bakers here to make
loaves of bread of specified weight, and
this is being opposed by the bakers. 1t was
in the discussion of this proposition that the
fact of Washington bakers competing with
local bakers came to the surface.

the diseased section, but personally attend

He made an appeal to the local newspapers
not to print the fact that yellow fever was

BALTIMORE. Md. August 5.-Busness
at the local stock exchange has been very
dull during the week. with small transac
lions and with unimportant fluctuations in
the prices, except for the movement in
Northern Central railway. The Northern
Central. which had been dull between 100

was advanced within a period of forty
eight hours to 100.
This squirt in the stock Is regarded as
one of those which are engineered from
the Philadelphia market. The advance
came as the result of demand from Phil
adelpha, and as there appears to be no
special reason for this advance, it is con-
cluded that the movement is speculative
one, which will soon be over.
