pear before the board of pardons next

"In view of the dissent on the part
of three justices of the Supreme
Court from the oninion of the court
| in refusing the petition of Samuel
Greason for an order authorizing .
new trial in the Court of Oyer and
Terminer of Berks county and in view
of the statement of counsel for Grea-
son that they have four witnesses
never before examined whose deposi-
tions they desire to take and present
to the Supreme Court for its consider
alton, the application for continu-
ancc in the Edwards case is granted
and the application for rehearing in
the Greason case is granted"
The lawyers for GreaSon viii now
apply to the Supreme court for an
order opening his case in order to
hear the four new witnesses found by
his attorneys. II the Supreme court
grants the order the case viii so back
to Berks county for re-trial. In the
meantime Mrs. Edwards case will be
continued. But if the Supreme court
refuse the order then the Board of
Pardons will have to decide the case
at its next meeting which will be the
third Wednesday in March. The res
pite is for ten days following that
date,
After the Governor was officially
Informed of the action of the Pardon
Board a messenger was sent to the

on Mr.. Roosevelt
Assures Him That Car0linians Appre.
ciate Views Expressed by Him
in New York Speech on
The Negro.
By FRED Il. WARREN.

Washington, ID. G., February 10
Congressman John Humphrey Small,
of the First Congressional District OF
North Carolina, today called upon
President Roosevelt to first assure the
executive that Carolinians appreciate
the views expressed in Mr. Rooseyeits
New York speech on the negro ques,
ton. Mr.. SmalFs visit was rather a
lengthy one, and MIR. Roosevelt was
much pleased with the personality Of
the North Carolinian, whom he has
met on previous occasions since Mr.
Small has represented North Carolina
in Congress.
Mr.. Small himself WIS greatly
pleased with the result of his confer
ence. He told the President that the
ScHth is not antagoniStic to him and
will support him in reasonable legisla-
ton for the bettcring of Southern and
national conditions.
In view Of the Presidents S aDproacn-
ing trip TO Texas. Mr.. Small spoke
of the beauties of Carolina and Mr..
Roosevelt in turn recalled a pleasant
trip he made 10 Ashevlle. where he
delivered % speech.
After today'S conference Mr.. Small
made this statement TO several North
ern newspaper men:
when the President shows Q dis
position TO understand us, as he is
now beginning to do we certainly ap-
preciete it, The Presidents speech in
New York will meet with favor in the
South.
."rhere is no prejudice against the
negro in that section. The South is
willing and glad to give the negro .
chance, but the integrity of our race
demands that his chances shall be
along other lines OF advancement than
social relations.
His advancement must he scpa-
rate and apart from this and l feel
that the President recognizes and
knows chat as well as l do"

10th of February
After the refusal of the application

ter up to the Supreme Court on q

which will operate as a stay until
the argument is had in the Supreme
Court on the merits of the Constitu-
tional questions involved and the
filing Of the decision of the Court.
