Battle Today
 In Maryland
WINNER IN PRIMARY TO HAVE
 SIXTEEN DELEGATES.
NEGROES A BIG FACTOR
Bayonets of Italian Soldiers Reinforced
 by Shells of Italian Warships Forced Them to Withdraw from the Capital.

Baltimore, Md, May 5.-1Iaryland's S first presidential primary election to- morrow will decide the votes of the sixteen delegates this state will send to the national conventions. The import ance of the election is increased by the fact that the law permits no divid- ed delegation. A victory in Maryland will mean sixteen delegates all in a block, bound to support the candidate for whom they are instructed until they conscientiously" believe he has no longer a chance of winning the nomination. While this feature of the instructions has been variously in terpreted, it is conceded to hold the delegates at least for the first ballot at the national conventions.
 La FoIIette's Name Not on Ballot.
 The names of Theodore .Roosevelt and President Taft appear on the re- publican ballot, while the democrats have the privilege of voting for Speak CT Champ Clark, Governor Judson Harmon or Governor Woodrow Wilson Active campaigns have been waged on behalf of these candidates.
 Negroes a Big Feature.
 An uncertain factor in the contest is the negro vote, which is about 35 per cent of the whole and in some of the eastern and southern counties com prises more than half the republican suffrage.

CADETS DENIED DRINKING.
 A STOMACH PUMP USED,
Surgeons Analysis Causes Their plS.
 missal from West Point.


 Newburg, N. Y, May 5.-Preferring a good time in the village of Highland Falls to their duties at the military academy at West Point, Cadets Charles Carroll Fitzhugh of North Da- kota and Frederick Eurd Vanhorn of Connecticut, both fourth classmen, found it necessary to misinfOrm the superintendent in regard to their acts and are now on their way home their military careers having been abruptly terminated by General Thomas Barry.
 One week ago yesterday there was e game of baseball at Highland Falls. It is against the rules of the institution to visit the village, so the cadets dis carded their uniforms and made the trip iu citizens clothing. On the way they were. passed by officers returning to the post, but as nothing was said to them they fancied they were not recognized.
 F1tzhugh and Yanhorn remained at the game until it was ended, and then made few social calls before return ing to the cadet barracks, which they expected to reach unnpticed soon after dusk. Their absence had been noted, however, and as soon as they arrived on the military reservation they were placed under arrest in their quarfprB | ue CbSe WEE IGHgIbeu lp HGtfEFAA Barry, who investigated, with the Rs- suit that they were charged with con- duct unbecomfng a cadet, One speci- fcation in tho charge was that they had left the reservation without psr- mission, another was that they had dOnned civilian attire and stfl Rnothar accusqd them of drinking liquor.
 The cadets were found guilty and summarily dismissed from the institu- ton. It is said that on their denial of the charge of drinking intoxicants they were at once sent to the cadet hospital, with instructions to the sur geon in charge to apply the stomach l pump. This was done, and from the analysis made of the resultant emis- sions evidence was obtained on which l to substantiate the third specification | as well as to give cause for an added one, that of prevaricating to a Su- | perior officer.

WILL He GET
II ON FIRST
BALLOT?
Taggart Democrats Wor-
rying Not a Little Over the
Fact That They May Not
Be Able to Connect For
Sam Ralston.
TIMES BUREAU,
At STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 11.-One Of
the things that is causing some anxiety
among the Taggart democrats Is
whether they will be able to nominate
Samuel NJ. Ralston for governor on the
first ballot in the democratic state con-
vention. They are beginning to realize
that unless they make the nomination
right off the bat, on the first ballot,
there is a chance that they may not be
able to land him at all. On the sur
face there is every indication that
Raiston will be nominated easily. but
some of the -Taggart people are
saying that unless the nomination is
made on the first ballot it may not be
made at all.
1t is known that some of the coun-
ties of the state will give Ralston their
vote on the first ballot. but that they
viii not go beyond the first ballot for
him. 1t is known, too, that leaders of
the party in some of the counties have
approached certain men and urged
them to get into the race for governor.
SO they could vote for them
As was stated in these dispatches
several days ago, there is a movement
on foot to bring out several "favorite
son" candidates for the purpose OF
nOtd1nB away from fSdlStOn on Inc nrSl
ballot the votes of counties which 9TH
erwise would vote for him. This plan
is in line with the talk that unless
Ralston is nominaten on the first ball
lot he may not be nominated at all.
There is some talk about a candidate
for governor in this city, but no name
has yet been mentioned. The purpose
of this move would be to break the
Marion county delegation, which is sup
posed to be controlled by Taggart and
which he will throw to Ralston. 1t is
figured that IL Marion county had a
candidate for the nomination Taggart
could not hold solid delegation from
this county. because there are portions
OF the city and county in which the
anti-Taggart forces can easily cleo
delegates of their own, and they woulC
| do it IL this county had a candidate.
| This situation has caused the Tag
| CART democrats to sit up and take no
tice of the possibilities of the conven
ton, and it may be expected that the.
viii do their best to head off any sucl
/ break as that one.
| Some of the anti-Taggart democrat
| over the state are still hopping MAJ

Special Prosecutor Hodges this morn
ing, the delay comes as surprise and
disappointment. The reason of it is
that Judge Van Fleet has heavy doc
ket in his Elkhart court and IL has
precedence over the Gary cases.
Mr. Hodges would not talk on the
subject of the reported move of the
state investigating the alleged bribery
of a Wflliston Juror. Some people
think that this is the real reason Of the
pause.
Alderman Bowser was the next de-
PENDANT to be tried and 1t is under
stood that as far as he is concerned ht
would welcome an early trial. How
ever, other defendants see points wor
