Washington jan 1S.-The United States Su-

in the OF Carter against the State Of Texas
TO the effect that the exclusion OF negroes from
grand Juries IN cases involving criminal charges
against members of their race is a violation of
the Constitution. and therefore not permissible.
The decision delivered by Justice Holmes
in the Of resident of Ala arna, named
Rogers, who indicted for murder by q
grand jury composed entirely of white men
and from which. it is charged. all negroes
were excluded because of their color. The Su-
preme Court Of the State upheld the regularity
OF the proceeding. but Rogers brought il to the
federal court writ OF error. with the
suit that the decision OF the State court was
reversed and the case remanded TO the State
courts for further proceedings not inconsistent
with to-day's opinion The decision was based
on the Carter case. in which IL was held that

The State Superintendent OF Public INSTRUCTION

Tbe substance OF these charges is that he asked
priuc{oals OF normal schools to contribute TO q
fund for political purposes. and that he received
from this class OF OF the State such con-
tributions Now, we can understand that such an
offence may have been committed by Mr. Skinner

years and that he might say that he had not used

or 70 rron,otS his personal interests. Neverthe-

thing they have to contend against, and the mean

officers and non-commLsstoned officers for two
battalions of Imperial Life Guards from Great
Britain and the United States. and in pursuance
Of this idea he Will submit to President Roose-

former Rough Riders whom he can personally

Colonel George Gouraud. Thomas A. Edisons
representative in England for many years, who
as Governor General of Sahara is organizing a
military establishment for NJ. Lebaudy said to-
day:
The invitation TO recommend officers will be
submitted 70 President Roosevelt in a few days.
Whether the President will consider IL proper to
accept the invitation or not the Emperor wishes
20 pay him this compliment. The Imperial Life
Guards VIII consist of two battalionS. The first

Empsror's' personal bodyguard. The troopers
will be composed Of Arabs and native Saharans,
who are among the finest riders in the world.
It Is intended also to organize q Sahara con-

We purpose also to encourage the emigration

Letting only approved settlers, who will be
chosen by thoroughly reliable agents scattered

this scheme Will have the support OF the Ameri-

not involve the taking OF them to purely negro
colony, but will settle them in new and pros
porous land with mixed white and black pop
