Members of the Klan appeared in the official regalia of the order, and with about seventy - five automobiles lined up in a circle around the spot where the initiation was held, the headlights of the ckrs flashing on the fiery cross erected in the center of the circle, the scene presented was a spectacular one. While spectators were unable to get inside the mystic circle, owing to the activity of numerous Klan pickets, they were able to view the initiatory rites at a short distance. When the ceremonies started, the wooden cross was set on fire, and as the candidates were inducted into the order the cross was a seething mass of flames.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE GOOD DURING KIM Mrs. Ware’s Record Shows High er Percentage Of Attendance Than Previously IGLEHART WINS PRIZE The Anne Arundel county schools made an excellent attendance record during the past year, according to the statement of .Mrs. J. Ware, county at tendance officer. Their percentage of 85 per cent, was 2 per cent, higher than that of the previous year. The Iglehart school that won the prize for tho best attendance had a record of 99 per cent. Mrs. Ware says: "The of the pupils for the year 1921-1922 in Anne Arundel county public schools was excellent, especially when we consider the hard winter, when for weeks the roads were blocked with snow or the mud made them almost impassable, also the fro quent epidemics of communicable dis eases that prevailed. It has been the custom the past three years to offer a picture each t<> the school and class whose percent age for the ten months was the high est in the county with the understand ing that the school or class who won one of these two successive years was to be presented with the same at the end of that period. This honor has fallen this year to the school at Igle hart, Mrs. M. Worthington, teacher, whose record was ninety-nine per cent, thus excelling its own record o: last year by one per cent. The picture for the class was won by the fifth grade, Annapolis Gram mar School, Miss Duke, teacher. Mrs. (Continued On Pace i.)

MISS MILDRED LINSTID, OF BALTIMORE, CROWNED QUEEN AT ST.

Congress—Benson, Campaign Manager For Bruce, Claim Victory is Certain This is virtually the closing day of the senatorial campaign, and the can didates and their campaign manager? are looking back over the field, check ing up and preparing fo tighten the lines' here and there preparatory to the battle of the ballots next Mon day. Politicians generally count the nomination of Mr. Bruce as probable. Some of them say he is a certain win ner. They base their judgment on the fact that Mr. Bruce has almost unparalleled organized support in ad dition to the claims of his own per sonality and record. To beat him, they tclieve, either Mr. Lewis or Mr. Norris must devel op a tidal wave. They do not believe there will be a tidal wave. Tne fact that loth Mr. Lewis and Mr. 'Nbfris have recognized spots of strength means that their strength has been located and measured accurately, ac cording to the politicians. “Absolute Confidence” Has Henson In discussing the situation this morning, former. Congressman Car ville D. Benson, Mr. Bruce's cam paign manager, stated to a represen tative of The Evening Capital that he has “absolute confidence that Mr. Bruce is going to le nominated. •During the past few days especially,” said Mr. Benson, “the voters have rea lized that Bruce is the strongest can didate. They want to back a winner and they know that Bruce is the one. i The situation in the city is most en ' couraging and growing stronger every hour. In the counties it is the same way. Bruce will have an overwhelm ing majority in the State convention.” Backed By Most County Leaden* As is well known, virtually all the loaders in the counties outside of the Sixth Congressional district —Smith 1 men and Lee men—are for Mr. Bruce. Not only that, during wepks preced ing Mr. Bruce's entrance, practically all of them withstood importunities from the frionds of Mr. Lewis or of Mr. Norris and called for another can didate. To the experienced politicians backing Mr. Bruce, that condition has significance in the gauging of the popular mind. Similar conditions pre vailed in Baltimore city. This, however, does not mean tint either Mr. Lewis or Mr. Norris la neg ligible. The fact is that the Bruce men have felt ealled upon to work with vigor In the counties agaip.st Mr. i Lewis and in Baltimore city against Mr. Norris. For years Mr. Lewis has been an appealing figure to the coun ty voters, and it is said he make I an especial appeal to the women vot ers because of the parcel post. Mr. j Norris has had marked strength in i the city in the extreme wet vote and in the “pockets” of extreme wets ir> the counties. Taking No Chance* The Bruce supporters, taking nr. chances, have used the power they had I in the combination of organized po litical forces to hold these elements, of Lewis and Norris strength within harmless 1 omuls. They have had an enormous advantage in the fact that they have guards of trained workers in every precinct where they are fight ing at all, whereas the Lewis and (Continued On rage *,) Vestry Meeting Tomorrow There will lea meeting of St Anne’s Vestry tomorrow morning aft er the 11 o’clock service.
