IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Former Senator Edmunds Argues a
Georgin Civil Rights Case.

Georgia Civil Rights Case
Former Senator Edmunds appeared in
the Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday TO plead the Fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution in bar to the ac-
ton Of the board of education of Rich
mond county, Georgia, in closing up the
colored high school at Augusta. The school
had been in existence since 1880 and was
ordered to be closed in July, 1897, the
board Of education basing its action upon
the necessity Of providing accommodations
for several hundred negro children Of the
city who were unable 10 obtain admission
TO the then existing primary schools rather
than TO spend the money in giving fifty Or
sixty older pupils advanced education.
Several patrons Of the colored high
school began proceedings for relief and the
county court granted an injunction re-
stTaining the board from maintaining white
high schools until it should have provided
like facilities for educating colored chill
dren. This injunction was revoked by the
Supreme Court Of Georgia in March 1885,
and. according to Mr.. Edmunds' argument
'on the ground, as appears in its opinion
that the establishment or refusal to estab-
lish high schools for colored children, al
though the high schools for the white chill
dren were established and paid for by tax
alton was entirely matter in the discre-
tion of the school board, and that the col
OTed taxpayers could be lawfully compelled
10 pay taxes for the support of white
schools although the authorities refused
10 establish colored high schools when, as
in this case, there We're sufficient num-
Der of pupils qualified and desirous of and
seeking TO be thus educated; and that sucn
action Of the school board was not in vio-
lation Of the Constitution of the United
States"
The argument was wholly on the ground
that under the Fourteenth amendment this
action of the school board was a denial Of
the equal protection of the laws of the
colored people Of the city. This Mr. Ed
munds affirmed, and Joseph G. NahI a
member Of the counsel for the school board,
denied
The petition for writ of certiorari in
the Fayerweather case was denied by the

tion for rehearing in the Kentucky bank

Although the last of the twelve addi-
tional volunteer regiments authorized by
Congress has been fully recruited, the
work of securing additional troops for ser
vice in the Philippines will not stop. 1t
has been decided by the Secretary of War
to enlist at least / 600 more men for ser
vice under General Otis. With the arrival
Of the Thirty-second Regiment of Volun-
teers on the steamship Glenogle, General
Otis has under his command over $4,000
soldiers An order was issued yesterday
by the Adjutant General of the Army to
Colonel Beck, commanding the Forty ninth
Volunteers, a colored organization, direct
ing the movement of his regiment from
Jefferson Barracks, Mo. to San Francisco
by the 10Th of next month. With the de-
parture of this regiment, the last of the
twelve volunteer organizations will be un-
der way for Manila and with its arrival in
the Philippines General Otis will have a
force of nearly 65, 600 men.
The increase of 1000 authorized yester-
day by the Secretary of War is made to
fill the regular regiments now in the Phil
ippines 10 their maximum quota, this being
necessary because OF the discharges OF men
whose term of enlistment will expire
1t is the intention of the War Depart
ment authorities to recruit these men III
the East, and they will be rendezvoused
at Fort Wood and Fort Slocum, in New
York Harbor. They will be sent to Manila
on the transport Sumner, formerly the ma
val collier Cassius, which is now fitting out
at Norfolk, Va. The Cassius is expected 10
sail about January l, but as she will go by
way of the Suez Canal, General Otis will
not have the use of these troops until about
the middle of February.
War Department officials announced yes
terday that they expect General Lawton's
advance column to make considerable head
way within the next ten days northward
in the direction of the insurgents under
Aguinaldo. 1t is believed that General
Young will in a few days occupy Caban-
atuan, and that it will not be long before
he moves eastward in pursuit Of the insur-
gents General Lawton will not re
main at San Isidro, which will merely be
used as a base of supplies for the troops
under his command. From now on his OBJ
jective point will be Tarlac but should il
prove true that Aguinaldo has fed to Bay
ombong, General Lawton will then con-
tinue nothward, paralleling the insurgent
column.

claims he secured the sum of S135

charges entered against the prisoner, two
of petty larceny and one of grand larceny
The petty larceny case, in which $25 was
involved. was the only one brought to trial
At the offer of Campbell Darlington,
attorney for the defence to make a full
restitution to Miss Hall the remaining
cases were nolle pressed by Prosecuting
Attorney Mullowney. Miss Hall testified
that Gale came to her house, in Sixth
Street between II and l Streets northwest
and offered in his capacity of claiTvoyant
to restore to her her father, OF whom she
had heard nothing for years. On this oc-
casion she gave him $40. He returned
several times after this, she said, and IN
each occasion she gave him money until
the amount had reached the sum of $l35.
She also said that Gale attempted to Sc
cure a very much larger sum. At one
time she said he asked for 81 400.
The defendant when placed on the stand.
said that partly through his occult powers
and partly through the outside informa-
tion he had received he became aware
that Miss Hall had a large sum Of money
in the bank and determined to secure it
by playing upon the interest she felt in the
whereabouts of her father He further
said that there were two other men i'm
plicated in the scheme with him, and his
failure to supply them with money had
led one of them to disclose the facts in the
case. Judge Scott said that he wished 10

rington for his successful efforts in secur-
ing Miss Halls money a fine of $50 or
six months in jail was then imposed by the
