Over at a show the other day, a large crowd sat and witnessed, ap- |rrovingly, realistic presentation of a duel to death, with pistols. The men stood and fired at each other, while one would vince, stimulating the ter rible wound, and finally the other threw up his hands and went down in a sickening heap. At the picture shows, one of the popular films de- picts one man in ambush with shot gun, while another walks heedlessly by, to become the victim of the mur- |de-er concealed by the roadside Mo- body objects to either the duel upon the stage or the murder shown upon tte films. But when it is proposed to show contest between two men who use their fists, covered with big padded mitts, then that's too horribly bi utal to permit an audience to witt ness.

HELD TO Be VOID
Judge Morris Gives Imp0r-
tant Decision.

spdal 70 TIE Washington He7ld.
Baltimore. Md, oct 2S-In an opinion
handed down to-day by Judge Thomas J.
Morris. Of the United States Circuit Court.
the demurrer filed by counsel for the
registrars OF election at Annapolis. who
refused 70 enroll eolored men because
OF the grandfather law passed by the
Maryland legislature. Is overruled and
the plaintiffs, who sue for damages, are
justified in asking for redress. The court
also holds that the Federal tribunal has
jurisdiction. inasmueh as the act violates
the fifteenth amendment. which Congress
by statute is authorized 70 enforce.
The original action brought against the
Annapolis registrars was based on their
refusal 70 register three colored men
because they could not comply with the
provisions which required them to have
been able to vote IN 1853 or, II not then,
that their ancestors must have been ellgi-
bic TO vote Anderson, one Of the colored
men, could not have voted at that time
because Of his race, and Howard and
Brown. the others were denied registra-
ton because their father and grand
father, respectively could not on account
or race. have so voted.
The point was then made that IN re-
fusing to enroll these men and depriving
them of their right 10 vote the regis
trars had violated the fifteenth amend
ment. the plaintiffs having met every

Passing on this. the court SAYS: 1T IS
