FIGHT ON THE COLOR LINE.
Negroes Refuse to Use separate
schools, but Are Driven From
White schools.

ALTON, ILL.,. Sept. 24.-The city authori-
ties have taken hand in the separate
school question. The chief OF police was
instructed to take his entire night and day
force and keep the colored children and
their parents out of the white schools. For
a time it seemed that this policy would
precipitate serious trouble. Policemen
were stationed at each of the schools, and
when the colored people came with their
children and tried TO enter. as they had
the day before, the officers stood at the
doors and refused them admittance at the
Washington school. which is in a portion
of the city where the colored people out
number the whites.
The negroes congregated upon hill back
OF the schoolhouse and held a consulta-
ton. They decided to attempt TO put the
children into the school in spite Of the
officers and marched over 10 the school
yard. For time IL seemed that trouble
could only be averted by permitting the
negroes to- enter but the police held their
ground and threatened to arrest anyone
who attempted TO enter the school against
orders. The men and women then remain
ed at distance and urged the children to
go in. Some Of them attempted IL, but
they were sent back by the police and
none were successful save few boys who
climbed in at the windows while the Of
hcers guarded the doors. They were
promptly dislodged. and the colored peo-
the schoolhouss, where they remained and
later returned TO their home. At the Irv-
ing and Lincoln schools the same scenes
were repeated.
A committee Of three colored men, ac-
companied by their attorneys, then called
upon President Fink. OF the school board.
and asked him II It was the intention OF
the board to persist In the policy of ex-
GLIDING the colored children from the
schools attended by the whites. Mr. Fink
answered that such was tina intention Of
the board. The colored people then held
another meeting and instructed three of
their number TO go 20 Springfield and meet
Gen. Palmer, who had wired them that he
would assist them in an effort to secure
from the Federal court a mandamus com
Polling the city authorities TO permit the
negroes TO attend school with the white
children.
The negroes Insist that the law Is on their
side and fatty refuse to send their children
10 the schools built for them. The su
preme court decisions in similar cases at
Galesburg Quincy and Upper Alton en-
couraged them in the belief that they will
triumph in the courts.
