PRIMARY BILL PASSED
ACTION OF THE MARYLAND
LEGISLATURE LAST NIGHT.

Special Dispatch to The Star
STATE HOUSE. Annapolis. Md. March
2S.-The democrats in the Maryland legis-
lature tonight passed the primary legis-
lation agreed upon by the leaders by
lacking 1t on the bill which abolishes the
requirement for publication of sample
ballots in the Wilson law counties.
Against the latter measure the republic
cans in the senate started a well or
ganized filibuster, which the democrats
charge was engineered by Representative
Mudd for the purpose of blocking the
primary bill. When the primary bill was
offered by Senator Lee as an amendment
to the sample ballot bill the republicans
were taken by surprise, and the filibuster
was brought to a sudden end, and the
bill was passed.
Used the Cloture.
Later in the house the bill was jammed
through by application of cloture. with
ou- any discussion or any explanation,
Mr.. Benson. the democratic floor leader.
moved the previous question at once. and
deaf ears were turned to appeals of repub-
leans for information. Mr.. Metzerott
gained recognition after several of the
had been railroaded, and
said that some republicans might want to
vote for the amendment If they knew
what it was. His plea was ignored. The
voted against the amend
rnents and against the bill.
The house was in great disorder dur.
ing the proceedings. Several republican
leaders got the chance to speak in ex.
their votes and denounced the
course of the democrats as unfair.
Crothers Was Beaten.
To have enacted primary legislation as
q separate bill would have required sus-
pension Of rules by both houses. The
primary law was the subject OF numerous
by democratic senators this
week, Gov. Crothers urging the plan OF
direct voting for state candidates. and
Senator John Walter Smith siding with
Senator German in advocating the con-
veEtion system. which gives the counties
an advantage as against Baltimore citys
The latter plan prevailed.

BANK THEFT REVEALED.
Italians Arrest Discloses Loss of
So, 500 in Transit From This City.

NEW YORK. March 2s-Through the
arrest here today of Valentino Ponpino,
who said his home is in Susquehanna. Pa,
on charge of passing counterfeit money
il became known that the First National
Bank Of Susquehanna recently lost s., 800
in bank notes while in transit from Wash
ington to Susquehanna. One package
which was stolen contained $500 in un-
signed notes.
When arrested Ponpino had offered a
bank note at an Italian banking house.
with the request that he be given Italian
money in exchange. When his room was
searched the police found about $1,000
worth of Italian money and S132O in
bank notes which they at first believed to
De counterfeits.
An inquiry to SusQuehanna after his
arrest brought the story of the disap-
pearance of the $3.50 in notes of the
First National Bank of that city.

UPSETS RATE MAKING
INJUNCTION FAvoRS
ALABAMA RAILROADS

MONTGOMERY, Ala. March 2s.-1n a
sweeping decision making permanent the
preliminary injunction decided last sAu-
gust, Judge Thomas G. Jones of the fed
eral court of Alabama. middle district. de-
clared that acts which sought to prevent
the railroads Of the state from going into
the federal court were unconstitutional
and that the anti-railroad acts OF the Ala
bama legislature should be suspended
pending an investigation OF the complaints
of the railroads that the acts were con-
fiscatory.
Judge Jones declares in the opinion that
the issues Of states rights Is not involved
in the issue now In the federal court. The
opinion says:
Gist Of Opinion.
Life would be intolerabfe in any gov
eminent claiming to be at all free where
in the citizen had no redress against
wrongs done by officials In the name OF
the state"
The Constitution, itself 1t IL held. gives
the federal court the right to pass upon
such questions and the real objections to
it's exercise is therefore an objection to
the principles of the Union.
The effect of the decision is to declare
unconstitutional great many of the parts
of the railroad code adopted by the Ala
bama legislature and to suspend all rate
acts until the justice Of the rates can
be determined
The opinion had been published and was
in the hands OF the printer for delivery
when the United States Supreme Court
rendered its opinion in the Minnesota
cases, which were similar to those In
which the state of Alabama was a party.
In all essential details the opinion was
similar to that rendered by Mr.. Justice
Peckhan.

CannibaliSm Still
Much In Evidence

Man is still much eaten by his fell
low man. II is estimated that mil
lions of savages on the upper Congo
are inveterate cannibals. Millions
more perhaps have the same taste in
New Guinea and certain groups of
the South Sea Islands, notably the
Solomons, the New Hebrides and New
ireland.
Why this should be so is a mys-
terry that has perplexed the anthro-
biologists. David Livingstone, the
FIRST white man to cross the Man
yema country, in Central Africa, was
reluctant to believe that cannibalism
was not In some way associated with
superstltiOus rites. But when he
saw the eagerness of the natives for
what was evidently their favorite
food he could no longer close his eyes
TO the simple fact-the Congo man
preferred human flesh to any other
kind of meat.
The extent of the practice is indi-
Gated in the evidence given before the
various Congo inquiry commissions,
says writer in the Charleston News
and Courier. One native witness ar-
ter another came forward and laid on
the table punches of twigs and
leaves, each one representing a hui
man being that had been killed and
eaten by the so-called sentries en-
ployed by the Belgian administration
10 supervise the bringing in of rub
Der.
II has even been asserted that those
tribes which do not indulge in this
practice are inferior. mentally and
physically, to the cannibals. And
yet" said Livingstone, speaking of
the Manyema, they are fine-look-
ing race. / would back them to be
! superior in shape of head and general
physique to the entire Anthropolog-
ical Society"
For many years travellers general
ly omitted from the books mention of
| cannibalism. Such stories would
they fancied, be considered exagger-
ated, II not positively untrue. But of
late the explorers of all nationalities
have studied both people and prac-
tice with scientific zeal.
Sir Harry Johnston, Herbert Ward,
Commandant Guy Burrows, of the
Congo Administration; DR.. Parke,
Cant 8 l., Hindp also in King pO-
pold's service, and many others have
spent years among the Congo tribes
and they give in n matter-of-fact way
details of the habits of the savages
which are almost incredible. In the
3angala country not only are the
| bodies of those slain in battle eaten,
but the natives habitually kill men
Tor food. And about this there is
much curious system, such as in
clines students of anthropology to
suspect some hidden origin.
Thus the prisoner is not killed out
right, but is placed chin deep in a
pool of water, with his head made
fast to a log lest he drown. The vic
TINS limbs, by the way, have been
broken three days previously. On
the third day the poor creature is
taken out and killed. This proceed
ure, the fierce Bangala say, makes
the flesh more tender.
The cannibals in all cases extract
the teeth of their human prey for

necklaces and bracelets. The hair is
made into fishing lines and nets, the
skin goes to cover war drums and
the skulls become fashionable decora-
tons in the homes of tribal chiefs,
whose greatest glory is a long array
of these trophies of the chase.
Commandant Guy Barrows, lately
IN the service of the Congo admins
tration, told the writer a curious
story of the Batake people, body Of
: whom he led in a punitive expedition
gainst the Mabode tribes.
The day had been marked by fore
ed marches and sharp fighting, in
which both sides left many dead in
the thick jungle.
Presently in the gathering dusk a
huge savage passed him stealthily,
with u big bundle on his shoulder
wrapped in leaves of the wild banana
palm. Challenged by Burrows, the
man said he was only bearing food
for his Comrades--just banana food.
| But in fact he and several others had
been constantly going to and fro
from the scene of the fight. cutting
up the bodies and bringing them
down in small parcels, so as not to
attract the white mans attention as
they passed his tent.
Yet in this very country are tribes
that would not eat human flesh II
they were starving; the curious little
pygmies, for instance, of the Great
Forest. Yet these are infinitely low
er in the social scale than the canni-
| Dals-little better than apes, in fact
Their huts would disgrace an in
telligent animal. They have no arts,
nor do they till the soil. These
queer little nomads exist by hunting
trapping and fishing. They even pur-
cue the elephant, shooting It in the
foot with poisoned arrows and then
tracking 1t until 1t becomes helpless,
@hen they finish off the monster with
their spears.
Turning to the South Sea Islands,
the Germans, Dutch and British are
striving to put down cannibalism in
their respective spheres in New Gut
nea. So far these efforts nave met
with little success. The practice is
too deep seated to be eradicated in a
generation or two. No New Guinea
maiden will look with favor on a
sutton whose hut is not plastered with
human skulls as testimony to his
prowess as hunter and general pro-
WIDER for the home.
In the Solomon Island, New Britain
ana New Ireland, the natives are also
cannibals from deliberate choice. In
the Fiji Islands as late as 1850 lived
cannibals as ruthless as any on earth
They fattened their victims in wood
en- cages until they were ready for
the Draining stones, which you may
see in Ovalau to this day, together
with notches on the trees recording
the number of human beings sent to
the ovens.
Here the eating of human flesh was
full of symbols, poetry and philoso-
ply, a thing sanctifed by the gods
ana governed by intricate rules. Lord
Stanmore, G. C. NJ. G., formerly high
commissioner of the Fiji Islands, re-
cords that the natives reserved a spe-
cial kind of salad for use at these
feasts,. and women were rigidly ex-

The New Hebrides group is noto-
rious for the comparatively recent
clubbing and eating of DR.. Chalmers,

assistants.
