A Baltimore Town Meeting Promotes Election Safeguards
In Monument Square Baltimore thousands gathered as a town meeting urged by the committee of arrangements to protect ballots. The proposal creates a central twenty one member committee with ward sub committees to nominate candidates and seeks two hundred special police and strict election day closures of reform houses. The assembly adopted the resolutions and adjourned after hours of address and brief disturbances. An aerial ship project from New York dominated later discussion.

Injustice Charged Over Insurance Report in The Post
The writer disputes the Insurance Commissioners' findings on a London Company at length. It cites 386000 income and 126000 paid claims, notes 2250000 shareholder capital, and warns every London shareholder could be bankrupt before a US policyholder is paid. Mentions Johan Elliottson as a director and says no new claims will be pursued until the report is reviewed.
