Baltimore, Md, February 8.-A
hitting sequel to the notable decision
rendered In the United States Cir
cult Court bytJudge Thomas j. Nor
rts some weeks ago, when he de-
clared the "Grandfather" clause In
the Annapolis law was invalid be-
cause 1T was contrary to the Fif-
teenth amendment in that it discrim~
mated against the Negro, came in
the same court last Friday, when the
same judge decided that Attorney
w. II. Howard, Robert Brown J. and
John B. Anderson, three coIored res
identS of the capital city OF the
State, were entitled to $3.50 dam
ages from the two Democratic regis
tration officials who denied them the
right TO register under the law, thus
depriving them Of the right to vote.
In announcing his decision, Judge
Morris, said that while each Of the
plaintiffs asked for $1,000 damages,
and that he did not want to minimize
the grievous wrong done the men in
being denied the right to vote, he
took in consideration the fact that
the registers had acted under a law,
which he declared to be unconstitu-
tional, October % ]. ast .a.'.
