£ DULLNESS MARKS BALTIMORE VOTING Organization Vicl.ories Won in Both Parties—Women’s First Time ip Primary. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, September - 10.—Or- ganization candidates of both the democratic “and republican parties, with but few exceptions, were suc- cessful yesterday in one of the qulét- est contests, with probably the light- est vote that has been cast in any primary in the city since this popu- Jar method of nominating candidates has been in operation in the state, notwithstanding that it was the first primary in which women were eligi- ble. This ordinarily should double the normal vote of the city. Success of Harmoay Slate. The Gov. Ritchie-Mahon-Kelly har- mony slate went through without a hitch, all along the line, and while the re- publican organization candidates, as a rule, were successful, the fiwht was close and there were several upsets in a number of wards. Talk of run- ning independent candidates against the G. O. P. nominee, against Charles H. Heintzman, who defeated Charles J. Jordan for the state senate in the fourth legislative district_by less than 150 votes, is heard throughout the cit; Two of the biggest surprises to the republicans were the defeat of Mrs. Louise Wilson Schwarz. the only woman candidate for the legislature in the city, who was understood. to have the backing of the organization, des making a better campaign than any other candidate; and the nomination of two colored candidates for the legislature. It is the first time in Maryland history that the re- publicans have named colored men for the legislature. While the woman voters did not turn out in the numbers that were expected. they were successful in their fight to defeat Willis R. Jones, the eleventh ward candidate for the legislature, who was the most con- sistent worker against woman suf- frage in the last legislaturs, but it is said today. that his defeat was due not o much -to the antagonism of the woman voters. as to the de- cision of the democratic party lead- ers to throw him overboard in the interest of harmony.

B. Bibbins, one of the most active of the woman voters here, and this seemed to be the prevalent atti- tude of mind among democratic and; republican women today. . 3 “I think the women made an e ceedingly poor showing.” was the un- qualified opinion of Mrs. Frank F. Ramey, vice president of the City- wide Democratic Women’s Club. Mr: Ramey. who visited polling places from ~early morning until time, reported that she found many of the election judges asleep. “The quickest solution,” she said “and, to my mind, the most satisfac- tory. would be compulsory - voting. They have that in Switzerland—so why not here? Why continue to spend money on primary elections without getting response from the people?” MAY RESIGN FOR “TIGER.” Friends Expected to Make Senate Seat for Clemenceau. .

Democrats Have Practically No Contests as Rivals Stage Spirited Party Fight. Special Dispatch to The 1 FREDERICK, Md., September 10.— Republican organization leaders who have long swayed the destiniés of the party in this county went down to defeat yesterday at the primary elec- tlon, which was strictly a republican affair. There were no democratic contests, with the exception of a mild committee contest in Brunswick dis- trict, which was purely local. In contrast to the harmony in dem- ocratic ranks, largely due to the fact jthat the impre: ms to be that no democrat can be elected this fall against _a republican majority of about 1.500.. the republicans had con- {tests all down the line. The November election this year is known as the “blg county election,” at which the chief offices, carrying the Ibiggest salaries, are filled. As a re- sult. there was a general scramble for places on the ticket. With three districts missing, the re- { turns from, which will not change re- jsults except possibly for sheriff and for one county commissioner, no can- didate backed by the organization | forces had been nominated. Frederick county politics has long been largely a “family affair” and the republican primary has as a result a significent effect in local politics. - The primary vote for each candidate follows: : For clerk of the circuit court—Eli 422, nominated; Charles villiam C.

BERLIN, September 10.—But for the assassination of Dr. Mathias Erzberger, Germany might today be a monarchy. Many indications have come to light to show that & monarchist coup was in preparation. General apathy had greeted the republic’s birthday. Even the republican government hardiy celebrated. The old regime todk renewed cour- age at all this and organized demon- strations and military parades, cul- minating in the festival at the Berlin race track, where a Hohenzollern prince enthusiastically saluted Ger- many's “undefeated army.” A glorified telegram was sent to thé “glorious” prisoner at Doorn, fill- ing him with the hope of future vic- tories. HARDEN. Public Indifferent. Even in the face of all this the peo- ple kept silent and indifferent to every symptom indicating a speedy return to kaiserism. must have inspired its chief with this expectation, otherwise Wilhelm, foolhardy courage; would scarcely have dared to send & telegram which risked offending the Dutch govern- ment as a breach of the promise given when asylum was granted to him. Then. next day came the assassina- tion of Erzberger, proving once more the enduring stupidity of the military- monarchist caucus. Instantly, al- though ‘the newspapers scarcely peeped, and some to Germany's shame actually gloated, the industrial work- ers rose up. Half a million of them paraded before the palace where once the kaiser lived. Berlin never be- fore .saw such a demonstration. All of these men and women, even the communists, kept perfect order, and the speakers made no incendlary ap- peals. But all resolved unitedly to tolerate no longer these murders and to save the republic from a praetor- ship or Camorra. Sentiment Changed. industrial workers had not rested from their day's labors and postponed their evening meal, mind- ing not the long march and seeming to say, “We are here to prevent our new Germany from being infected FIND WOMAN'S PURSE These | Leatherman, 2,594, nominated; Clag- | AND HAT NEAR NIAGARA Police Unable to Connect Miss Orr's Disappearance, , With Body Passing Over Falls. ed Press. By the Associs NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., September |° 10.—A woman's hat and a black leather purse were found on a bench on the state rescrvation following a report made to the reservation police that a body had been seen to pass over the brink of the American falls at 6 o'clock last night. - The purse and hat, according to inscriptions written on a memorandum inside, were the iproperty of Miss Beatrice Orr of Cleveland, Ohio. The authorities are not certain whether there is any connection be- tween the finding of the hat and purse and the passing of the body over the falls. This will not be de- termined until the body is recovered or Miss Orr located. In addition to the memorandum the purse contained an order of deporta- tion from Canada, showing that Miss Orr had been.deported from Athel- stan, Quebec, because she did not have the necessary cash deposit re- quired of all persons entering the Dominion. G. E. Sharp of Cleveland and his brother, W. W. Sharp of Kansas City, Mo., are_authority for the statement that a-body passed over the falls. They told reservation officials that while they stood at Prospect Point at 6 o'clock last night they saw a brown-clothed body, with one bare arm extended upward, pass over the falls. T unable to state whether it was the body of a woman or man. The body reappeared in the lower river soon afterward and boat- men set out from the Canadian shore to recover it. But they were unable to do so, and the body passed on down the river into the whirlpool rapids and was lost to view. REPORTS BUMPER CROPS. Successful Farming at Moundsville, W. Va., Penitentiary. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. CHARLESTON, W. Va., September 10. —Farming operations this year at the state penitentiary at Moundsville “ap- pear to be very successful.” state institutions may be supplied with corn, hay and oats, according to an in- formal report recelved by James S. Cbup Declared in Preparatiofi When Slaying Aroused German Public Against Attempt To Restore Former Empire. The court party | who never erred in the direction of Awith the polson of the old.” This spectacle made a far greater impres- sion than the government's order for- bidding demobilized officers from wearing the army uniform without permission. 2 The necessity for this order had been proved by the funeral of the former empress when 10,000 officers marched in full dress with side arms. Furthermore, there is being con- sidered at the present time the ques- fon of the exile of all members of he royal house. Germany has not forgotten the: example of France's third republic, and the Hohenzollern princes, instead of quietly and dig- nifiedly serving the fatherland, often-lead monarchist demonstrations through their unscrupulous vanity. But expatriation would not be so léasy as in France's bourgeois repub- lic, since to be complete such a law would have to include the Wittels- bachs and Wettins of Saxony, the Zaehrings of Baden and all Germany's kings, grand dukes, dukes and their male descendants. No majority for| such a law would be possible in the reichsrath (senate), which is any- { thing but republican, or in the local { parliaments. Bavaris Continues Obstacle. Bavaria, the largest German state, refuses to relinquish the martial law | established two- years ago. This Al- | pine peasant country, once the home of democracy, has since its unfortu- nate and soviet experiment, become the source of the strongest attacks | against the German republic, and the rendezvous of the monarchists and militarists. It is, in short, the great- est obstacie on the road to a-peate- ful democracy which the young chan- cellor, Dr. Wirth, is honestly and zealously: trying to follow. Labor is Bavarfa's only hope and laber is organized only in northern Bavaria. But it is affiliating with other German unions, and some fine day the Bavarian reactioparies may find_their country without coal and a land of bitter winter distress if they continue their efforts to dictate Ger- any’s destiny. " Thus Iabor is the bulwark of the German republic, but the republic will not be solid and healthy until the people cease to think of it as some- B Peime provisional and revocable, and }¢ntirely PAY WITHOUT WORK | IS RADICALS' CRY Communists Finding Fruitful Field Among Britain’s -~ Unemployed.

Some boards of guardians have conceded a good deal of the demand, with the inevitable re- .| sult of a cry for more.

They demanded that the rates be equalized all over London and that land values should bear the larger part of the burden. So, for contempt comply with the precepts of statutory authority, they have been clapped into prison. ~George Lansbury is among them. This has brought up old and acute controversies, including that of in- cidence of ratings between landlord nd tenant. - And inasmuch as the ideas of Henry George on that subject have sunk deep into the minds of the Eng- lish people, there may be some in- 1teresting developthents. But what- ever ‘may happen respecting the in- cidence of ratings, the cammunist Dlea that the workless shall be paid full wages wiil fizzle out. just as soon as its implications are understood. For if men are paid in idleness as in industry, it is certain that industry will suffer and unemployment will in-, crease. Hold Government Responsilile. The question has been discussed during the week by the trade union congress, but the attitude of the dele- gates has not been helpful, for they Isimply saddle the government with sole responsibility for the cause and the cure of compulsory idleness and ignore the contributory causes of industrial conflict. They inspire themselves with a real love for freedom and democracy. (Copyright, 1921.) WAGE CUT SET ASIDE IN-COLORADD MINES State Commission Acts to End Con- troversy at Plant of Fuel and Iron Company. By the Associated Press. WALSENBURG, Colo., September 10.—The Colorado state industrial commission today set aside a wage reduction inaugurated in coal mines of * the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com- pany in Huerfano and Las Animas counties and placed the old wage scale in effect pending further in- vestigation of the controversy which has tied up many mines for mare than a week. The announcement came from the office of F. W. Robinson, freight traf- fic manager for the Union Pacific, and was based cn advices from E. B. Boyd of Chicago, chairman of the Western Trunk Line committee. “The emergency situation sur- rounding the live-stock industry,” said the announcement, “was largely the basis for the conclusions of the Interstate Commerce Commission, who suggested that while the pres- ent rates were not of themselves un- reasonable it would be well if a reduc- tion of 20 per cent in the present live- stdck rates were undertaken, except on horses-and mules, observing as a mini- mum rate of 50 cents per 100 pounds on all live stock.” The reduction, Mr. Robinson said, will be made by all lines operating west of Chicago.
