1 WONDERFUL OLD GENTLEMAN.
 Moses Ogden, who on June l6 cele brated his 96th birthday anniversary is the oldest man in town and is a son of MT and Mrs Ava Ogden, who were married in Greenfield Hill and came April, 1902. Their son, Moses, was born on June 16, 1910, where he has spent his whole life carrying on farm ing, which he has done very success fully. MT Ogden was married to Miss Harriet Wilson of Sport Hill, October 10, 1848, at the home of the brides parents and they came to live in MT Ogden's present home. Mrs Ogden passed to her reward a5ove several their union. One son, John H. Ogden, of Aspetuck. and two daughters, Mrs John Sherwood, who lives in the east part of the town, and Mrs Ida Ogden, who lives with her father. In his younger days, MT Ogden filled the office of school visitor and highway surveyor and he always had deep in- terest in the affairs of the town. His father left him farm of IS acres and he now owns farm of between 25O and 300 acres, besides having laid up
  den can remember back to days when our country was young and he can tell many interesting incidents of those early days. His grandfather, Benja- min Banks, was trader and drove an OK team from the harbor at Black Rock to New Milford, dealing princi- pally in mOlasSes and rum. MT Ogden remembers well when the NewtOwn and Westport turnpike, which runs near his home was laid out and built The teams when working in this sec- tion, were boarded at his place. One time his grandfather, who had just re- turned from New Milford on horse back, brought into the house a bag of gold which he had brought from New Milford on the horses back, threw 1t down on the floor and told him If he would lift it he could have what was in the bag, but 1t proved too heavy for him. He thinks 1t would be hardly safe for any one to travel by horseback these days from. New Milford to Easton with bag of gold unless they were pretty we'll protected. It is 8 pleasure for MT Ogden to talk over the Olden days and he is always pleased to have his friends call and see him. Although he was 96, years old last June he has good use of them. Although he able to direct and carry on the work of his large farm successfully. If your travels ever call you to Easton MT Ogden will be pleased to have you call and have chat with him.

Supreme Court Decision on
Pensacola Jim Crow Law

Following is the text of the decision
of the supreme court on the Pensa-
cola city ordinance, providing for the
separation of the races in the street
cars. The case was that of L. B.
CrOoms, plaintiff in error VS.. City
Marshal c. F. Schad. defendant in
error, the marshal having arrested thu
said CrOOmS for violating the law.
After Teciting the ordinance itself and
stating the facts in the case, the Opin-
ion Of the court, written by Judge Tay-
Ior, reads as follows:
The Courts Opinion.
At the hearing before the court
commissioner the respondent marshal
moved 10 qUash the writ of habeas
corpus upon the grounds:
1st. The petition upon which said
writ was issued does not set forth
facts which show sufficient probable
cause for the granting of said writ.
End. The facts alleged in the pc
tition upon which said writ was is
sued show affirmatively that petition
er is not entitled to the relief prayed.
This motion to quash the court COM
missioner denied but afterwards
made an order as already stated, re.
handing the petitioner to custody and
denying his application for discharge
from custody. 1t is cOntended here
that this motion to quash was equiva-
lent to a demurrer to the petition. and
that upon its denial the petitioner
should have been discharged, as such
demurrer was an admission of the
truth of all the facts set up in the
petition.
This contention is without merit.
We know of no such practice as that

Hon, J. Campbell Avery
and the Jim Crow Law.

Elsewhere on this page to-day The
Journal publishes the text of the SUI
p7eme courts decision sustaining the
validity OF the Pensacola city orGin-
a1ce which provides for the separation
OF the races IN the street cars. This
decision definitely settles the question
not only Of the city's right to adopt
and enforce such an ordinance. but OF
the constitutionality Of such legisla-
ton as well.
In this connection, the public viii
not soon forget the part which Hon.
]. Campbell Avery, Jr,, played in Sc
curing the result which the supreme
courts decision now establishes.
The Avery bill which passed the
legislature by a practically unanimous
vote was, when tested in the supreme
court, declared, on a technical point.
10 be unconstitutional The bill was
not, however, the first measure which
had been found unconstitutional. and
IN this case the constitutional point
involved was one which escaped the
notice Of every member of the Iegis-
lature-a body which contained some
OF the brightest legal lights in the
state
When the state law was found to
be defective. the movement for race
separation in the street cars which
Mr.. Avery's bill had started was not to
be stopped and the city Immediately
proceeded to make a Jim Crow law of
. its own. In the legal procedure Incl
dent TO the defense Of this law in the
courts Mr.. Avery was associated with
City Attorney JnO. B. Jones and rem
der valuable service in the presenta-
ton Of the city's side Of the question
before the courts.
Il will therefore be seen that Mt.
Avery's original efforts in the legisla,
ture to secure the desired separation
OF the races was really responsible
for the law which We now enjoy and
we have him to thank for It
The Journal always believes in Civ
ing credit to whom credit is due and
for that reason it is pleased 10 &C
cord Mr.. Avery, as the public does,
the credit for this cOnsummation of
a great public demand.

in such glowing cOlors, lost everything
they put into it and their money was
sqUandered with a spirit Of profiigacy
which even the tremendous eXpendi-
lures of the United States govern
ment on the canal preliminaries dur
ing the past year could not approach.
Why does not the Times-Union, if it
is really looking for a parallel exam
pie in this government canal project,
cite this history Of private enterprise
there? It would be a great deal more
to the point and much more logical
than using the example of a small
privately owned railroad in the United
States.
And as for the management of our
postal affairs, the postofice depart
ment of the government, with all its
imperfectiOns, is by far the most sat
isfactory public service enterprise
with which We have to deal to-day
and not even the Times-Union would
be willing to turn that over TO be
run by a private corporation.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1906-02-11

ton IL of the same chapter provides
that The council shall have power
to pass ordinances imposing fines not
exceeding sixty days or both I'm
der these two sections we think Il
clear that said city was empowered TO
enact and to enforce the Questioned
ordinance.
1t is next contended that section
seven of the ordinance excepting
nurses in charge of children or inva-
lids of the other race from the proYl-
sions Of the ordinance is an unreasOn-
able classification of persons. The
main puposa of the ordinance is 10
separate the races on street cars, but
that this section seven, excepting
nurses from it's provisions, being an
unjust and unreasonable classification
defeats the whole purpose of the or
dinance by permitting nurses of either
race to ride in the compartment or
car devoted to the opposite race, when
in charge of children or invalids of
such opposite race.
There is no merit in this cOnten-
sion. The fact that children and in
valids require the constant care and
attention OF IlelT nurses Udh9S IL
highly reasonable that a law making
provision for the separation of the
races should make an exception that
would prevent the separation Of such
children and invalids from their
nurses. MagOun v. Illinois Trust &

corpus because of defects in the petit
ton upon which it was basea. The in
quiry in such cases is not as to the
technical formality of the showing
made TO the court for the issuance Of
The writ, but as to the legality OF the
alleged detention of the prisoner. In
such inquiry the parties are not lin
LED TO the matters specifically set
forth In the petition for the writ, but
may go outside of these and enquire
INTO any matter that affects the legal
ny OF the detention. The writ Of
habeas corpus is a writ of right and
IS sometimes issued upon very inform
AZ application. In the history of this
court such a writ was issued by this
court upon receipt by it of an inform
al letter from a cOloTed prisoner in
JAIL, and upon the hearing was dis
charged from custody. Elk PaTte
