COLORED HIGH SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL DEFENDED
Confidence in Mrs. Anna ]. Cooper Ex-
pressed in Resolutions at Par
enIs' Meeting.

A warm defense of the NJ street col
ored high school and a telling tribute TO
its principal, Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, were
the results OF meeting or prominent
colored citizens at 1893 II street north
east.
The meeting had been called so that
the citizens might take action in regard
to certain criticisms that have been
made of the NJ street school
Resolutions Adopted.
rnously adopted by the representative
gathering al the meeting:
1--WE. citizens of East Washington, and
parents whose children attend the NJ
Street High School. having assembled
for the purpose of considering the rea-
sons for the trying ordeal through which
this, school is now passing, nnd'r that
whereas Mrs. Anna J. Cooper. as priH-
cipa! of said school has given unbound
ed satisfaction. and our representatives
on the board of education have not been
derelict in their duty. Notwithstanding
which, certain individuals who ,hav.
never had children IN said school. or
even in any school, have instituted a
series of hostile newspaper attacks ON
the Nj Street High School. arrogating
to themselves the authority to speak
for its patrons, who. IL has been alleged.
are too tiu1id or too ignorant or on the
/
the public. and whereas certain persons
connected with said school have been
guilty OF fomenting discord among
teachers and pupils. and encouraging in
children and to the discredit OF the fair
name OF the school; therefore be it re-
solved,
Confidence In Mrs. Cooper.
THAT we hereby reafirm our con-
IN, &c
of children who attend said school. and
as observers of the conditions which ex-
ist there, wish to bear testimony to the
fact of the high standing of training and
conduct which Mrs. Cooper seeks to
maintain in the school; and We believe
that with full cooperation OF her di-
rector and the elimination OF the few
who oppose her the public would be
thoroughly satisfied with her manage
ment and administration of the school
Resolved. We protest against L. s.
Leisenring presuming to speak for the
parents and patrons of the NJ Street
High School. and scout and condemn
these newspaper attacks with which he
has largely been connected. and deplore
/ the existence of persons capable OF low
ering the high standard OF said school
or OF impairing its usefulness for any
| sinister motive
Resolved. We hereby reaffirm our
confidence in the integrity OF our repre-
sentatives on the Board OF Education
| and sympathize with them in the diff
| culties with which they are contending
| in their efforts TO clear up that which q
| part OF the public has been led to regard

school. and implore the other members
Of the board TO assist said representa-

Dline in that institution"

SUSTA|NS
MRS. JENkS

The appellate division OF the supreme
court. in an opinion handed down today
in the case OF Ruth A. jerks vs.. Frank r.

the defendants. Complainant is the widow
OF William II. jerks, who left will CIV
ing her all his property and Intentionally
omitting mention Of his children
Mrs. jerks seeks TO have cloud on her
title removed. She has already decided
away some OF the property bequeathed
her and wants the appellate court 10 de-
cree that the omission TO mention the
children was intentional The sub
stantial question raised by the demurrer
was whether the court had jurisdiction
i'm equity 10 ascertain the intention OF
the testator with respect to the omission
Of his children from his Will.
The arguments Of the respondent 9
counsel was that the complainant has no
present title in fee and no equitable title
or interest in the land except her dover
right until the fact IL made manifest
which she prays in her bill TO establish
that under the provision of our statutes
upon the death of William H. jerks. the
title I'm fee I'm all the real estate belong
ing 10 him passed directly TO his chill
dren as II he were intestate and there
are no allegations in the bill that would
authorize n court OF equity TO divert these
heirs at law OF their title.
Chief Justice Douglas. speaking for the
court does not agree WITH rhts argument,
and thinks the proceedings begun by Mrs.
tions in her bill are true she took the
estate Immediately upon tho death of her
husband. This can only be decided after
a hearing.
