Among them was one William Meln-

Now in the fight William took most

ought to be reimbursed for any loss you
may have sustained during the bellig-

FUSION LAW AGAINST IT

HEAVY PENALTIES FOR REFUSAL TO DO Sc
The Poor People Who Die in Raleigh will b

The law passed by the recent Fusion
Legislature in regard to the disposition
Of the dead bodies of those whose reia'

being strictly enforced.
This law constitutes the professors ~

of the State board for the delivery
and distribution of dead human bodies;
and all officers, agents and servants Of

institution having control of ANY

is subject to a fine of not less than S100
or more than $500 for every such failure
or refusal.
With the opening of the medical schools
in Davidson College, the University OF
North Carolina and Shaw University
this act is being enforced, and its en-
forcement is raising a storm of protests
and causing the greatest Indignation.
In Raleigh. for instance, the poor peo-
pie. especially the negroes, are begin
ming to feel its effects. Almost daily
there are demands upon the city to bury
some person whose relatives are too poor
to properly dispose of the body.
Until recently there was no trouble
about this. The authorities simply made
an investigation. satisfied themselves the
case was worthy one, and then gave
the body decent interment.
Now the case is quite different. The
colleges want and demand these bodies
for dissecting purposes, and the city au-
thorities, under the penalty of heavy
fines. dare not violate the law.
Only yesterday / saw two cases of this
kind. They We're poor women. very
poor, and each had i dead child. They
were not able to bury their offspring
and so they appealed to the city TO inter
the bodies for them. The city couldn't
do it, The health officer read them the
law and told them he was powerless nm
less they could themselves raise at least
part of the money necessary to dfray
funeral expenses.
Neither woman had dollar to her
name. they said. and went away weep
ing to beg friends and acquaintance for
assistance. Later in the day they came
back with pitiful little sum and laid
it upon the Health Officers desks
silent prayer not to allow their loved
ones to be cut up by medical students.
And for this condition of affairs the
people have our recent Legislature to
thank.
In the enforcement of this law in Raj
eigh, Shaw University would get most Of
the bodies from this city, regardless Of
race or color.

Board Grants Mayor Russ Indefinite
Leave of Absence.l
A called meeting of the Board Of Al
dermen was held in the mayors office
yesterday afternoon at O'clock.
In view of the fact that Mayor Russ
has been nominated on the White Mans
Ticket for clerk of court and desires
next week to start out on canvass of
the county, he was granted indefinite
leave of absence and Alderman A. Nj.
Powell was chosen mayor pro tempore.
A regular meeting Of the board will
be held tonight. Perhaps the most i'm
portant matter TO come before it is q
petition from the saloon keepers of the
city asking permission to keep their
places of business open all night during
Fair week. This was done last year ana
will probably be done again this year.
Certainly the eleven-hour closing law
will be suspended ON Tuesday. Wednes-

opposition to the suspension of the law
for the entire week.
