with White Children.

ALTON, ILL.,, Jan. l0,-After lodging the
issue about twenty years the white people
are brought face to face with the question
of admitting colored children to white
schools. A good school building is fur
nished for blacks, with excellent teachers.
Recently some negroes demanded admission
to the white high school building. knowing
the law was on their side and bound to have
their rights The white people opposed
them.
Today number of eolored children &C.
companied by their parents marched to the
high school building and demanded admit
tance. The body of white citizens assembled
resisted their demand both sides were arm
ed, the blacks finally withdrew. At
meeting this afternoon the school board of
Upper Alton resolved to dismiss the colored
school in the Salus addition and substitute
q mixed school. Action taken in the es-
tablishment of boundary lines, which will
admit some blacks to the High school
building. complete victory for the blacks.
1t excites a great deal of bitterness and in
dignation, the board having taken legal
advice and justifies, itself on plea of ne
cessity. Whites threaten to desert schools
and default on school taxes.
