TO "hlte ScnOOl.
New York, Nov. 22-The appellate
division of the supreme court in Brook.
lyn has denied the appeal Of Elizabeth
Cisco, negress. from the decision of the
special term, refusing peremptory writ
of mandamus to compel the school board
of Queens borough to admit ncr children
to the public school OH Brenton avenue,
Jamaica, and make no distinction OH
account OF color. Mrs. Cisco claimed
the right to have her children accepted
as pupils in the school in question, but
was told that they must 60 to O separate
school for negro children.
Justice Goodrich, writing the opinion
for the appellate division, says that the
provision of the constitution which pro.
vides that equal school facilities shall
be furnished to ali children cannot be
held to mean that the white children
and the black children must be permit
ted to attend the same schools
AS to the question OF the excellence
of the instruction i'll the schools for ne.
gro children in comparison with the
schools for white children, Justice
Goodrich does not find that there Is any
difference.

WILLINGHAM BILL IS
ADOPTED BY HOUSE
Prohibition Measure Wins
by 90 to 65.
NOW GOES TO THE SENATE

Fight That Has Been In Progress
Practically Ever Since tho L-glsla-
ture Assembled Ends IN Victory
For the Aut.-L quor Men,.
ATLANTA, Nov. 22.-By q vote of 93
to 65 the Willingham prohibition bill
passed the house at l:25 this afternoon.
Eighty eight votes were necessary and
the fact that only moro than that
number were received made the con test
closer than the opponents of the meas.
ure had hoped it would be.
The friends of the bill were satisfied,
although they did not develop the
strength they had hoped for, and tho
announcement of the result was re-
ceived with q perfect storm of applause.
In the galleries the enthusiasm was
almost wild, and it was some minutes
before order could be restored.
The bill as it passed provides for gen.
oral prohibition throughout the state,
and contains only such amendments as
its friends offered. 1t will be enrolled
this afternoon and will go to the senate
tomorrow. There will be another bat.
tle royal over the measure before that
body.
Among the speakers against the bill
today was Mr.. Bryan of Floyd, n PRINT
tive Baptist preacher, who said while
he favored prohibition he thought the
bill unwise.
The crowd in the gallery was larger
than yesterday, and ut one time was so
demonstrative in support of the bill that
the speaker ordered the arrest Of tho
people who wero applauding. No ar.
rests were made, but quiet was restored.
The first amendment, providing for
ratification By the people. WAS lost by
vote Of 67 to 90. a second of similar
tenor was lost by 10 to S6. n third,
which provided for ratification and that
in the event tho bill failed the whole
state should DO "wet," was lost by
vote of SO to 100.
The dispensary bill, substitute, was
overwhelmingly defeated.
The scene in tho house when the
amended bill passed was most interest
ing. The friends of the author, Mr..
Willingham, gathered around to con-
gratulate him.

Colonel Elliott has been considered
by many to have first claim on the
