NO DISTINCTION FOR CRE0LEs
Supreme Court Holds That One Law
Must Do for kll.

New Orleans, La.-An attempt to
have Louisiana creoles placed in a class
SO distinct from other American citi-
zens that they would have different jury
rights failed yesterday in the supreme
court. The record of the case was
made public today.
T. NJ. Laborde, whose counsel claimed
him to be q creole, in appealing q
forgery charge, gave as one OF the
grounds the claim that his jury should
have been composed either entirely or
largely of creoles. His counsel claimed
that although Laborde lived in a parish
where 95 per cent Of the population was
c~reoles, nearly all of his jurors were
Americans.
Creoles were defined as descendants
Of French and Spanish ancestry, par
ticularly French. They were said to
hold more tenaciously to the racial
characteristics and traditions of their
ancestors than persons of other descent
in this country. The court did not
recognize this distinction.

Notified to Return to Work.

Chicago, Ill. While the official
notice that the telegrA,hers' strike Is
ended has not been sent out. all strik-
ing key men have been notified that
they may return to work for either of
the telegraph companies without dis
obeying the rules of the union.
BY a vote of 231 to So, the Chicago
local, late Wednesday, decided on end
ing the strike. The secret ballot fol-
a day of conferences between the
strike leaders. AS a matter Of form,
the local unions throughout the coun-
try will vote on a recommendation
that the strike be declared off Off
cially by the national executive board.
This will be done for the purpose of
carrying out the laws of the ~organiza-
ton, but the actual strike is ended.
Officials Of the Western Union and
Postal companies declare all strikers
who are re-employed will be treated
with as much courtesy as though there
had never been a strike, and all men
will be taken back on merit alone.

Additional Returns Show Sweeping

Seventy.one saloons In SO precincts
in Central Illinois will have to close
their doors within 80 days. There are
now in this section approximately 1O1

by the prohibition advocates is esti-
mated at so per cent of the total ter

submitted to vote. This includes
rural as well as urban precincts.
In IS counties under precinct or

Off states that the men may feel u.s.

practically declares that these con-

This is denied by the officials Of

mer declarations that they have not
and will not make any promises. 1t
is stated that the strike probably will
be renewed next March when the
eight-hour telegraphers' law goes into

GEORGIA TO PRESS WAR CLAIM
State Wants Pay for Use of Her
Railroads..

Atlanta, Ga.-The claim of the State
OF Georgia against the Federal govern
ment for the use and occupation of the
Western and Atlantic railroad imme-
diately after the Civil War, aggregat-
ing 1905, 1856, will be pressed to an adju-
dication and settlement at the coming
session of congress if possible. Bills
providing for this will be presented by
Senator Clay and Representative Liv-
ingston.
The claim is based on the use and
occupation by the United States army
officers of the States road from Nav II.
1865, to Sept. Is, 1865, for the trans
portation of troops and supplies. The
revenues of the road we're also collected
by the officers during that period and
