WHEN BLACK ) WHITE
Attorney Joe Brown Holds That

Des Moines Register and Leader:
Whether man with kinky hair and
complexion like that Of newly pol
ished kitchen stove is a white man
or a negro is a question which Police
Magistrate Mathis has been called up.
on to decide. S. Joe Brown, negro
attorney, claims the man referred to
is a Caucasian on the grounds that
the father was white.
The question came up in police
court Saturday afternoon. A case
was on trial before Judge Mathis
Several nights previous the police had
raided dwelling on Elm street and
arrested a family named Manning,
This family consists of Mr.. Manning
white man, his negro wife and two
black children. Two white girls were
caught in the house at the time
Charges of being found in disorder

oners.
When the case came to trial in pc
lice court Assistant City Solicitor w
H. Mclaughlin claimed that while the
evidence against the people submitted
by the prosecution was hardly sufh
cient to warrant conviction, that
the fact that unmarried white girls
congregated in negro home in Itself
| was indisputably evidence that the
place was a disorderly house. The
! two races never mix unless that is the
| case" he said.
Lawyer Brown in his argument
asked that the cases against his eli
ents be dismissed. Even if the
| claim made by Mr. Mclaughlin il
true" he said, ''there would be ne
cause for the conviction of the Man
nings or the two girls on the grounds
given in his argument.
| Says Men Are White.
! These two young men," he dra
matically said, as he half turned anc
pointed at the two colored men sit
ting back of him, ARE white men,"
| Every one in the court room turned
in surprise and gazed in astonishmen
at the dusky lads. Judge Mathi!
removed his eye glasses and slowl!

These boys are white, or Caucasians
because their father was a white
man. he continued THE father ane
the father alone establishes the rac'
of his children. 1t does not matte,
whether the mother was negro o.
not. The color makes no difference.
The lawyer then gave many wei

case under advisement. Police ofic
ers and attorneys are waiting witt

ANOTHER TIE CONTEST
Oskaloosa and Grinnell High School
Quit Even.

The local high school foot ball elev-
en- went to Grinnell Saturday and bat
tied with Grinnell high school on the
gridiron. The game was one of the
fastest games at Grinnell this season,
and although the Oskaloosa lads did
not win, they played better offens-
i've and defensive game than Grinnell.
The score when time was called was
a tie, to 6.
The Grinnell high school got their
touchdown in the first half after a
few minutes play, on fake punt. The
guard for Grinnell making a touch
down a 70-yards run. That was all
the look-in Grinnell got, Oskaloosa
playing on Grinnell's territory all
during the rest OF the game. The
Oskaloosa team came near scoring
in the first half, the ball being in Os-
kaloosa's possession on the 2-yard
line when mistake occurred in the
signals by one of the halves, which
made the quarter carry the ball, PEN
alizing Oskaloosa Is yarus.
In the second half Oskaloosa got
their only touchdown on long punt,
Colville catching the ball and max
ing the touchdown after a few min
utes of play. In the last part of the
second half Oskaloosa came almost
scoring again. The ball being in os-
kaloosa's possession on the 10-yard
line few seconds before time was
called, which necessitated drop kick.
ing which went wild.
To show how they were taking the
Grinnell boys off their feet, Oskaloosa
at one time made 80 yards in two min
utes. One of the college students re.
marked that it was the fastest game
ever seen on the Grinnell gridiron.
The lineup for the local high school
was as follows: Colville, c.; Wood,

TRADE SURPRISES

Storm Damage Has Reduced Yield
and Caused Demand, Which Has
Forced Prices to the
Too Notch.

New York, Oct. 13.-R. G.. Dun's
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Low temperature brought out much
business in seasonable lines Of wear
ing apparel and most reports from
wholesalers tell of the largest volume
Of trade ever transacted. Shipping do
partments are limited in activity by
inadequate railway facilities, and this
difficulty is becoming aggravated by
the free movement of grain and coal
as the season advances. Official crop
reports covering conditions on octo-
Der / indicated most satisfactory
grain prospects, but damage has since
reduced the yield of cotton and caused
violent rise in prices. To this fact
is due some irregularity in trade and
collections at q few southern cities.

Conditions in the primary markets
for cotton goods show a radical
1 change from the recent Indifferent de-

material has advanced beyond gener-

of higher prices, there is a sudden
rush to provide for future needs, but

en- industry do not show a similar

orders having been placed, and the
market still waits for some definite
