IL the cnso Of Green, q colored n1nily
who sued Manager Mnsuire for refusing
him admission 10 his theatre, United
States Circuit-Judgo Sawyer yesterday
decided that that portion OF the Act Of
Congress providing That my nIannEer
OF theatre, or Similar institution, is
guilty of nriSuCnranOr, who shall re-
fuse admission To- nny colortd person,
Is unconstitutional and void lIo said
that Congress Ind no power to nnA0
such u law, though the Legislature Of
nmy State might, perhaps, do so. Tho
management III Theatre is private
enterprise; Tho proprietor conducts IL
for his own profit; II is bis Investment,
Nnd hc can lny down tho lows by which
il shall be conducted, and the public
has nothing to do with Il. II the de-
fcnlnat had sold ticket and ngrccd to
lot Tho huycr in. lie would be iinblo 10
Ga action for dnmnses, nnd such q suit
might legally hc brought. In tho case
, | as IL stands. however, it is beyond tho
power Uf Congress Ia rulo ~ II has
. in passing the Act, and so much OF tho
EOiricCnlh Amendment as applies 10
such cas?g Is unconstitutional and void,
aud there is no ground on which tlis In
: dictmDh can be sustained The prose.
cuiiun gnyc notice that tho caso would
be appealed to tho United States Su.
prcmc Court.
