The Negro Twice Passed q Civil Ser

Appointed to a Clerkship i'm the Va
ZOO Office-Brutality Of White Pa
irons Prevented Him From Holding
the Position.

Washington, March Bon j.
Hornsby, a young negro who twice
passed a civil examination and twice
has been appointed to clerkships i'm the
postoffice at Yazoo, Miss, has com.
planned at the White House that ne
is prevented from holding his position

citizens of YaZoo. Hornsby was pre-
sented at the White House by the
Rev. s. L. Corothers, but the Presi-
dent was unable to take up the case
because practically all that remains
OF his time before leaving for his
western trip has been filled with ell
gagements. The case was stated to
Secretary Loeb, however, and Horns
