BARRED FROM SCHOOLS.
Dark Brunette Of French Descent
Refused Admittance on Ac-
count of Her Color.

Evansville, Ind, Nov. 26-Little
Mabel Smith, aged twelve, who was
denied admittance to the schools Of
this county, has been refused ad-
mittance 70 the public schools Of
Hawesville, KY, on the ground
that she has colored blood in her
veins, and as a result a law suit
has been filed. The case promises
to be an interesting one, and is
watched by the attorneys of two
states.
Several months ago the Smith girl
lived at the Christian Home in this
city. She is of Frencn descent and
very dark. When she started to
enter the Blankenburg school there
was howl raised, and the matter
was taken to the city school board
Blankenburg being suburb of this
city. All of the patrons of the
school withdrew their children and
refused to send them back until the
Smith girl was taken away. The
school board, after several days
investigation, concluded the girl
had no colored blood in her veins,
but it was understood. she was to
be taken away for the future peace
of the school.
The matron at the Christian
Home secured a home for the girl
with Capt. and Mrs. w. d. Cram
mond, at Hawesville. The Cram
monds are among are among the
most prominent people in Hawes-
vile, the former owning several
steamboats,. A few days ago, when
a request was made to have the
Smith girl sent to the city schools
at Hawesvllle, the school board
raised an objection, and the Cram
monds at once employed w. L.
Morrison, of Owensboro. to bring
suit against the school board.
Capt. Crammond has given out the
statement that he will fight the
case to the end, as he feels like a
great injustice has been done the
little girl by two States.
