APPEAL TO COURTS WILL
FOLLOW TEACHERS REFUSAL
Paul Merrill VIII Return to Short
ridge, Backed by Parents and
Advice of Counsel.
FIGHT CASE IN COURTS

Superintendent OF Schools Kendall has
made decision IN the case of Paul Merrill
the Shortridge student who refused to sit
with a negress during a school session.
In a letter TO Merrills attorney. Caleb
:. Denny, Mr.. Kendall states that ne will
uphold Miss Laura Donnan, the boy :
teacher, in the affair. The superintendent
does not exonerate Miss Donnan entirely,
but admits that she was in a great measure
to blame for having said that the boy~was
not as good as the person he was asked
to sit with.
But, he contends, she must be upheld IN
compelling him to take the seat assigned.
Mr.. Denny is prepared TO fight the case
to a final termination.
Mr.. Denny was reticent regarding MS
next move He admitted that the boy
would present himself at school and II he
was refused admittance, the case would
be carried before the School Board,
where" says Mr.. Denny, Il will produce
facts which are altogether in my client S
favor. Among these will be a document
signed by nearly all the pupils of Short
ridge High School l will also have the
support of the parents of many OF the
pupils and of many prominent citizens VINO
have become interested in the case.
II had hoped that the matter could be
adjusted amicably. / am convinced that
the boy is in the right and that he acted
like gentleman"

.ELKS' JOKES SO FUNNY THAT
EVEN THE MINISTRIES LAUGH
End Men, Without Burnt Cork,
Keep Singers Sides Shaking
During RehearSals.
EX-MAYOR INTERLOCUTOR

Sparkling wit in jokes of black-face
comedians, beneath whose burnt-cork
make-ups will be found some of the most
prominent men of the city, will regale the
audiences of the Elks' annual minstrel
show at English's Opera House on the
evenings of March 16 and II.
If hard work will accomplish anything
the show this year should be the best ever.
a. B. Hanson. chairman of the committee
in charge, has been working almost contin-
ually TO make the production a success.
Something novel in the way of a minstrel
first part has been arranged and as moth
ing on the same lines has ever been seen
in this city it is sure to be well received.
The most comical men in the club have
been selected for end men and in rehearsal
without any makeup whatever they always
these positions are Messrs. Feibleman,
Powell, Ross. BALI, jefferson and Brandt.
Each of the end men will sing a comic song,
while solos with full chorus effect will be
Grim and Roy Patterson. Miss Woodward
will have a prominent place in the first
part of the performance.
Former Mayor Charles Bookwalter will
be interlocutor. A chorus of sixty has
been drilled and they have been in constant
to make one of the hits of the performance.
Bert Feibleman has charge of the olio num-
bers and has arranged for the best talent
of the city to take part in the olio. Among
those who are to take part are: Englishs
Zouaves the Tuttle Mandolin and Guitar
theaters. Parades will be given on the
mornings of the shows

NEW YORK, March 5.-stating that he

throat Governor Odell to-day abandoned
his proposed trip to Washington to con-
suit with President Roosevelt, and returned
to Albany, at the same time putting himself
out of line for the Craftsmanship of the
Republican national committee by declar-
ing that the place had no attraction for
him, and that he would not accept it if it
were rendered him ION a silver platter"
Nothing has been settled yet, the Gov
ernor said, as to his acceptance of the state
craftsmanship and this matter is still I'M
der consideration.
In mentioning the permanent abandon
ment for the present of the Washington
trip, Governor Odell also made an en-
phatic declaration on the subject of his
leadership in this State, stating that there
is nothing in the affairs of the party in
this State that L cannot settle myself with
out assistance if i wish, and the President
is not apt to call on me to settle the affairs
of the Nation. 1 shall not go to Washing

SIMILAR SENTENCES
FOR BOTH THE GROFFS
No Distinction Shown by Court in
Passing Judgment-Mercy
Was Asked.
MEN ARE OUT ON BAIL

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Justice Pritch-
ard to-day overruled the motion of Samuel
A. Croft, one of the recently convicted de-
PENDANTS in the postoffice trial, and SEN
fenced him to two years in the Moundville
penitentiary and to pay fine of $1,000 SEN
tence to begin on arrival at the penitentia-
~. Croft Immediately furnished bond for
$4,000 pending an appeal. The action to-
day places Samuel A. Croft on the same
plane his brother, Diller B. Croft, and
the other defendants, August w. Machen,
for many years the head of the free delivery
system of the Postoffice Department, and
DR.. George Z. Lorenz. the former post
master at Toledo, o. All Of the defendants
now have asked for consideration of their
cases by the Court of Appeals, and il is
likely to be months before they can reach
there. All of the men are out on $4,000 bail
each.
When the Croft case was called to-day,
continuance till next week was asked. The
court ruled against it and Grons' counsel
Immediately abandoned the effort for new
trial and pleaded for mitigation OF SEN
tence.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart re-
piled for the government opposing the mo-
ton and plea. The court Immediately over
ruled the motion for new trial and arrest
of judgment and imposed sentence and after
counsel gave notice of appeal the $4,000 bail
was furnished.
