NEGROES TAKE UP
 ANOTHER.LA SUIT
Attorney Says They Have No
 Representation on Jurles
MOVED TO QUASI VENIRE
Judge Thomas of Montgomery Over ruled the Motion and Case Was Appealed to Supreme Court.
 Came Up in Murder Case

Montgomery, December 8-(Special)- The negroes fired another shot at the new constitution this morning in the criminal branch of the City court.
 Dan Rogers was on trial for the mur- der of Ben Howard, and Milford H. Smith, the colored attorney who brought all the other suits in this state. appear ed as counsel for Dan and moved to quash the venire of the petit jury on the ground that the defendant was a negro and as such had been denied, in the se- lection of the jury, the equal protection of law guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. The paper sets out at length the familiar recital ofs the dis crimination practiced against the negro under the temporary plan of the new constitution, the conclusion of the argu- ment being that as the negro is denied all participation in the affairs of the gov ernment through disfranchisement, con- trary to the fifteenth amendment he has no part In the selection of the jures and as a fact is deprived of his right to be drawn on such juries. He offered to prove by David Johnson. clerk of the Circuit court, that no negro had been drawn on a jury here for ten years.
 Judge Thomas overruled the motion and the defendant appealed to the State Su preme court. The purpose is to make a case from which an appeal can be taken to the Supreme court of the United States on such a point as will get the merits of the new constitution before that tribunal.
 A motion was made to auash the in- dictment on precisely the same objec- tions to the grand jury as above alleged against the petit jury. It was also over ruled and an appeal taken.
 The jury took the case of Dan, at noon and at night were still out.
