COURT DECIDES
ALABAMA CASE
Opinion Adverse to Jackson ". Giles
on His Petition.
STATE CONSTITUTION INVOLVED,
Majority of Court Declares That Fedora
Courts Cannot Interfere for the Reason
That the Question is POlitical-Jus-
tice Harlan Dissents on One
Ground and Justices Brewer
and Brown on Another.

Washington, April H.-The United
States supreme court today decided the
case of Jackson w. Giles vs. the Board ol
Registrars of Montgomery county, Ala
Giles is a colored man, who was denied
the privilege of registering as a voter un'
der the new constitution of Alabama, and
the case was brought to test the validity
of the portion of the state constitution
bearing upon this question. The rebel
sought was denied on the ground that the
case was political.
Justice Holmes, who delivered the
opinion, said that for the court to interfere
would be unheard of relief in cases pres
enting only political questions. The court
as a whole did not pass upon the question
ofiuIisdiction, which was the question GER
tilted by the circuit court for the middle
district of Alabama and Justice Harlan
dissepted on the ground that the court
should have declined to assume Jurlsdic-
ton. Justices Brewer and Brown united
in dissent in which they upheld the Jur'
isdictjon of the federal courts on the
ground that as Giles was denied the right
of voting for member of congress by the
refusal of the right to register federal
question was involved.
Justice Holmes written opinion was
not made public, but be made quite an
extended statement from the bench, recit'
ing at some length Giles petition In which
Giles claimed to speak not alone for him.
self but for 5000 other negro adults OF
Montgomery county who he claimed would
be disfranchised as a result of the enforce
ment ofthe suffrage provisions of the State
constitution of 1901. The case had been
dismissed below for want of jurisdiction
but Justice Holmes said majority OF the
court were of opinion that the supreme
court should con6ne itself to the question
of Jurisdiction but should consider the case
on its merits. He then announced that IL
would be impossible to grant the relief
asked. He pointed out that while Giles Is
contending that the franchise system OF
Alabama is fraud he declares his COM
potency as a voter under it, and closed by
saying that it was beyond the power OF a
court of equity to grant the petition.
Justice Harlan in dissenting said that in
bis opinion the csse should have been dis
missed for want of jurisdiction alone, and
he criticised the courts opinion, saying
that it left the question of jurisdiction in
the air and that he was not willing to be g
party to such proceeding.
Justice Brewer delivered the other dis
senting opinion, in which Justice Brown
