NO COLOR LINE FOR THE ELKS. Court Decides that Order Cannot For
 bid Negroes from Wearing Insignia.

~>-'~>e>-~~'
 New York June 2O.-A decision of the greatest importance to secret SO cieties. and especially to members of the order of Elks, was given in the court of special sessions yesterday by Presiding Justice McKeon and Jus tices Deuel and McAvoy. when they acquitted Oldridge R. Johnson. ne- gro cleaner in the Ludlow street jail, who was arraigned on three separate charges growing out of his wearing an Elks' badge.
 ton of the penal code which makes 1t misdemeanor to wrongfully wear the button of any order. provided that the design of the button has been copyrighted.
 Deputy Assistant District Attorney Paul Krotel had charge of the prose- cution and was assisted by Arthur C.. Moreland. member of the Eiks.
 The negro Elks were represented by Dan O'Reilly. retained by their grand lodge. and Frank Wheaton negro. who appeared for the local lodge of negro Elks.
 The evidence went to show that the full title of the white Elks society is the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the United States" and that the copyright button bore above the elks' antlers the letters "B. r. O. E."
 The negro society was Known as te Improved Benevolent and Protec- tice Order of Elks of the World" and their button also bore the antlers and above the letters II. B. r. 0. E. w" only that the first and last letters. the "I.' and the ."W." were lost on the antlers. making the letters seen 'B. r. O. E.." or the same as those on the white society's button.
 The justices unanimously acquit- ted Johnson on the ground that the white society's constitution contains an improper word. viz. white" and they held that the negro society couldn't practice a deception. They al- SO declared that it vas nowhere shown that they wilfuliy violated any provision of the constitution of by jaws of the white" of,ier of Elks.
 In other words. as interpreted by the negro Elks in an expression voic- ed afterward by Mir Wheaton. under this ruling it is lawful for the negroes to adopt the Elks emblem. or. for the matter of that, any emblem of any other secret societies barring colored people.
 Mir Wheaton said that the decision was a most important one and set the seal on all similar cases which have been tried in the various parts of the country. because of the importance attached by outside cities to a New York decision.
 Had the case gone against them- Mfr Wheaton said. 1t was their in,en- ton to carry the matter to the high est courts in the country. but the mat CT is now settled for once and all. as the prosecution has no opportunity of appealing against a decision given in the court of special sessions.
 There are 14.0CO negroes who claim to be Elks in this country. Mir Whea- ton said. and he asserted that the de cision If today will double the mem bership of that class In two months

Death of Mrs. John A. Morton.

The friends of Mr.. John A. Nor
ton, in this city and elsewhere, were
shocked to learn of the death OF his
beloved wife, which occurred at their
home on South Fourth avenue, be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, last Wednesday morning at
half past five o'clock. Mrs. Morton
had been i'll only a short while, and
her illness followed child birth, the
cause of her death having been
dropsy.
Death is always terrible. but when
it occurs in the first bloom of mature
womanhood, when the threshold OF
a happy home and useful life is
invaded, when the young wife and
mother is taken from the father and
the babe, then death is attended by
an anguish and a sorrow which are
unbearable. Mrs. Morton was only
twenty-one years old, and she leaves
little baby only a month old and
a husband broken hearted. The
sympathy of countless friends goes
out to him in his sorrow and be-
reavement.
The funeral occurred on Thursday
morning last, from the home, and
the exercises were conducted by Rev
L. NJ. Broyles, pastor of the First
Methodist church. The following
gentlemen acted as ball bearers:
Messrs. Clarence Eubanks, Kenneth
Harrison, Ernest Beard, S. c. Driver,
A. L. Ayres and j. A Perkerson.
The Dispatch extends its sympathy.

Two employees of the Tombigbee
Cotton Mill, Jack Gilbert and c. A
Druary, became involved in a diff
Guilty Friday afternoon, which result
led in Druary receiving a. very pain
| full wound on the forehead, inflicted
by Gilbert with an iron lap rod.
Mayor Gunter had Gilbert up for
, trial Saturday morning charged with
assault and battery. The services of
Mr.. w. P. Stribling had been en-
gagged by the defendant, and a plea
of not guilty was entered.
The testimony brought out in the
case was that Gilbert, who works on
the third floor of the mill, was stand
ing by one of the weaving machines
talking to another of the mill hands
and while conversing took from the
machine a part of its mechanism
known as lap rod. Druary saw
him and with an oath ordered him
to put it back. Druary did SO, but
failed to put it back properly. Dru-
airy came up and began cursing Gill
bert, who in turn cursed him. Then
Druary, who held a piece of iron
two feet long in his hand, grabbed
at Gilbert's collar and advanced upon
him, causing him to back against a
box. Druary kept cursing Gilbert
and motioned as if to strike him;
then Gilbert struck him across the
forehead with the rod he still held
in his hand.
The evidence in the case proved
the difficulty, and was the aggressor.
Mayor Gunter dismissed the case,
but not before cautioning Gilbert as
to his conduct in the future.

Cars Stop.

| The breaking of the piston rod
| of the engine which drives the car
| line machine at the electric light
plant last Thursday afternoon about
| four O'Clock put the street cars out
of business until the following day.
The accident was one of those un-
avoidable occurrences which every
machine plant has TO encounter, and
there was no explanation for it. As
soon as it occurred, superintendent
Passolt at once went to work to get
the engine in shape, and with the
cry Company the engine was repaired
and in working order by six o'clock
Friday morning when the car SER
vice resumed.
The stopping of the cars entailed
great inconvenience. One car was
stopped right in the heart of the city,
another was stopped in front of Ja-
cobs' shop on College street, and
another was stopped at the. park,
while others were located along the
line There was quite a good crowd
at the ball park witnessing the city
league contest, and these had to walk
to the city, as we'll as the visitors
who were at the park at the time.
This is the first accident which
has occurred to the car service since
it went into operation nearly three
months ago. President Weaver, of
the electric light company, announces
that duplicate machinery for the car
service has been ordered, and as
soon as it is installed there will not
be a recurrence of this trouble.
