REFUSED TO INTERFERE.
DISTINGUISHED Negro Gets No Relief
in U. S. Supreme Court.

washington. April 2s-The United
States supreme court has decided the
case Of Jackson W. Giles VS.. the board
of registrars of MONTGOMERY county,
Ala ana. Giles is a colored man. who
was denied the privilege Of registering
as a voter under the constitution Of
Alabama, and the case was brought to
test the validity of the portion of the
state constitution bearing upon this
question The relief sought was denied
on the ground that the case was po-
ltical.
Justice Holmes, who delivered the
OPINION, said that for the court to inter-
fsre would be unheard of relief in cases
presenting only political questions. JUS
tice Harlan dissented on the ground
that the court should have declined to
assume jurisdiction. Justices Brewer
and Brown united in a dissent. in which
they upheld the jurisdiction of the fed
eral court on the ground that. as Giles
was denied the right Of voting for a
member of congress by the refusal of
the right to register, federal question
was involved.
Justice Holmes written opinion was
not made public. but he made quite an
extended statement from the bench, re-
citing at some length Giles petition. in
which Giles claims to sneak not alone
for himself, but for 5000 other negro
adults of Montgomery county. who
he claimed would be DISTINGUISHED as a
result of enforcement of the suffrage
provisions of the state. constitution of
1901 The case had been dismissed be-
low for want of jurisdiction, but Justice
Holmes said a minority of the court
were of the opinion that the supreme
court should not confine itself to the
question of jurisdiction. but should con
slider the case on its merits He then
announced that it would be impossible
to grant the relief asked. He pointed
out that while Giles is contending that
tile franchise system of Alabama is Il
fraud he declares his competency as a
voter under it, and closed by saving
that it was beyond the power of a court
Of equity to grant the petition.
Justice Harlan. in dissenting. said
that in his opinion the case should have
been dismissed for want of jurisdiction
alone. as was done in the circuit court
and h. criticised the courts opinion,
saying that it left the question of juris-
diction in the air and that he was not
willing to be a party to such a pro-
ceeding.
Justice Brewer delivered the other dis
senting opinion, in which Justice Brown
eoncurred. They expressed the opinion
that the circuit court should have been
reversed. and that it should be directed
to assume Jurisdiction of the case

He slinped and fell.

Charles. Edwards, a Brooklyn man,
has invented a mechanical baseball
pitcher that throws a ball at suitable
intervals TO the batsman. The ma
chine is placed at one end of a small
building, with sides of wire netting
and roof and ends of wood. A motor
turns a wheel, actuating a powerful
spring with q small cup at its ex-
extremity. The balls run along a
chute, drop into the cup one after an
other and are discharged at intervals
of Is seconds. The balls roll back
to appoint behind the machine, thanks
to the slanted floor. At the point
where the slants meet the balls are
taken up by the machine and carried
along the chute to the cup, thus con-
tinuing the pitching indefinitely.
