The obscure bit of testimony was
brought TO the fore today at the
sitting OF the military court of in
quiry created by law TO determine ~
any OF the discharged soldiers should
be permitted to re-enlist. Captain
Charles r. Rowland, recorder OF the
court, asserted that his dog belonged

The tenor OF the recorders address

ELIMINATE THE NEGRO VOTE
Maryland Democrats Decide 20 Deny
Race Right to Register.

Annapolis. Md. March 25.-The
Democrats in the Maryland legisla.
ture in caucus tonight decided TO
ignore the fifteenth Federal amend.
ment by refusing negroes the right
to register and thereby eliminating
them from the voting population.
This plan has been under considera-
tion for some time, various amend.
ments TO the Constitution having
failed to deprive them OF their rights.
Leading lawyers, who have had
the proposition under consideration,
attended tonight's caucus by invita-
tion and explained that as Maryland
had been one OF the States which
refused 90 ratify the fifteenth amend
ment, il need not be bound by it's
provisions, and thus Maryland follows
the example OF South Carolina, 10
years ago, when IL adopted the null
lification act.
Following the enactment of this
law. there will be submitted a con-
stitutional amendm dment which dis
franchises the negro, and with this
law in force il Is expected to pass.
This amendment also repeals the
Wilson ballot laws, and provides for
uniform and fair elections through
out the State.
The act applies only TO State and
municipal elections. and becomes eff
fective in 1912. At national elections
a different set OF books is to be
used, the negroes being allowed to
register. AS the Democrats have
three-ffths majority in both branch
es, the amendment will undoubtedly
pass. The vote tonight was unani-
nous.
