Vernal fervor erupts as Johns Hopkins students clash at statehouse
A springtime student riot in Baltimore escalates from a class banquet dispute to violent street fighting. Fists and bricks fly near the statehouse as police night sticks injure several undergraduates, nine arrested and jailed, fire department quell the disturbance and the national guard guards the armored area. A mayor is struck and a major scene of chaos disrupts cobblestones. Meanwhile a Michigan man learns of his grandson’s death in an action involving the U S navy in Nicaragua, with no official report yet published and censorship of further details suspected. Marines and bluejackets guard the Managua rail corridors amid incidents, as Washington weighs responses to the revolution. Legislative chatter in Iowa hints at bank deposit reforms as state factions seek compromise. Senator Leverein may propose a substitute measure blending features from several bills to limit violence and preserve convictions.
