MARYLAND FIGHT
 OVER NEGRO VOTE

Washington, September 12.-(Special.)- According to Maryland democrats the fight over the constitutional amendment disfranchising the ignorant negro vote has considerably improved and at the present time there are good prospects for it's adoption.
 From now to election day the demo- crats will work hard for the ratifica- tion of the amendment and will try to have every white man learn its pro- visions. If this can be done, the lead CTS say. the measure will be ratified.
 Beginning this week efforts will be made to get all voters talking about the amendment. Mt is realized that If it be- comes the principal topic of discussion throughout the state the people will study 1t.
 Since the state convention reports re- ceived by the party managers have been that the amendment would be ratified in the counties. There, it Is said, the sentiment is overwhelming in it's favor. the country people seeing more closely tke danger of negro domination and be- ing actual sufferers from such domina- tion.
 It has been realized, however, that the actual battle ground Is Baltimore. The vigorous action taken by the city party people last week has caused much en- thusiasm among democrats. and they are prepared to embark in this campaign in a better and stronger position than they have for a number of years
 They are determined to get their argu- ments on the merits of the measure be- fore the people and will not leave a stone unturned to accomplish this. With it'- end in view the democrats will gath sf morrow night and make arrange msnls for the appointment of preclnct comm ttees to take charge of the cam fe,sH
 Y Ie these committees will work for ia iccess of the entire democratic tick et py will lay particular stress on the afuea iment.

 Paris. September 12.-Neither Miss Katherine Elkins. her mother, nor her brother, who arrived here yesterday, would make any statement to newspaper men as to their plans. The arrival of tho Duke of Abruzzl at Marseilles has ere ated much speculation In the American colony as to whether this does not mean a renewal of the romance which many Americans here believe was never really broken off.
