Judge Stilwctl LIKELY to be the Demo

A prominent Ohio politician making a
short stay in Washington, makes the fol
lowing forecast of nominations forGuvcr-
nor next year;
Major Mckinney said he "madc Il
wonderful fight for Congress and lowered
Democratic majority of 5000 to 800, Dut
his opponent was Il very weak man; he
did not make n single speech. Mckinley
might have won, but for the bad manage
mcit of Mr.. Smyscr, chairman of his
campaign committee. His connection
with the Raum Refrigerator Company
cost many more Republican votes than
were needed to make a Republican victory.
Mckinley will really suffer more from dc
fcats outside hiss district and State than
from failure at home. But he will h.
nominated for next Governor of Oliin all
the same, and in all probability Will be
elected.
"Of course, General Kennedy, Colonel

amy American court has just been rem

Two negroes went into Detroit restau-

ordered meal. The owner told them
that he would not serve them there, but
invited them to the other side of the room
where the tables We're not covered and
were otherwise less desirable. When they
denurred he offered to cover and furnish
the tables just as they were. on the first
side and serve the guests IN the same man
ner as they would be served on that side
This they refused and withdrew.
They then brought Il suit for damages
under the Civil Rights law of Michigan.
The trial judge charged the jury that,
while the defendant could not lawfully
make any unjust discrimination, lie had
right to adopt reasonable rules for the
conduct of his business. He might re-
serve certain tables for women and Others
for men, certain ones for white and Others
for colored patrons and that the last
named would have no legal ground OF
complaint so long as equally good service
was given them. In other words, scpara-

good condition.
