Senator John B. Hendricks wife and

memory Of all that came up on that
last Baltimore trolley as a horrible
nightmare. Such conditions as are

people on the trolley-they comprised
only the party from Camp Meade
had to stand up on the platforms ell
the way home. as the air inside Of
the cars was unendurable and the con-
ditions Of the aisles unspeakable.
