IN THE NEGRO SCHOOL HOUSE
INJUNCTION cAse-AeAlNsr
THE CITY BOARD.

The report OF Judge John IIinkle
master in chanccry to whom was re-
ferred the matter Of taking tcstimon,
In the case of the L. s Ex Rel. u
{. Franklin ct al VS.. W l. Cruce et
al, Board of School Directors for tho
city of Ardmorc has completed hi
work and will file his report This Is
the celebrated case Of Injunction
brought by number OF negroes to
prevent the moving and cstablishinr
OF a school house for negroes on Bur.
ton street as contemplated by the
board
The petition filed by the negroes
on which the temporary Injunction
was secured before Judge Dickcrson
at Chickasha. and which was pub
lishcd In the hrdmorci'c at that time
alleged that the location is an un
hcalthful one inasmuch as the lot was
near branch and not a great dis
lance from whore the city sewerage
system cmptlrs.
The report Of Judge Ilukle show
that the case was called by him on
August - and that the parties de.
tendant, the members of the school
board received a summons to appear
but failed TO do so.
The finding Of the master is a
follows In short:
Il find that the site selected. up
on which the school board intends
building is near branch or small
stream. Over and near this stream
litter from the closets Is deposited
and goes into the stream and the
mouth or outlet OF the city sewerage
without any antiseptic tank
or pool to disinfect same. The loca-
ton is marshy to the extent that II
will produce malaria and all OF these
tend TO make the location undesirable
for a school site, all OF which facts i'l
found from The testimony and made
part Of this report"
Thus the matter stands. and Il
would seem from the action that is
being taken by the schcool board I'm |
the matter that II Is the intention To |
et the negroes use the same old /.
that was used last year and |
which is practically no building at |
all so far as protection against wealth.

1ElEGRApHERs STRIKE
SMALL ISSUES APPEAL TO COM.
PlETE WAlkoUT.-BRookS
MAKES DENIAL.

St Louis, Mo, Auug. 26.-National
President Small of the Telegraphers
Union has issued general order.
calling upon all locals to request ev.
cry manager and operator of an of.
flee In the smaller cities throughout
the United States to leave their
wires, regardless of whether they are
connected with the union. This re.
quest, which was received today by
the st. Louis local and which is the
most sweeping since the general
strike order. was acted upon immedi
ately by the local officers. They for
warded tonight to 300 offices through
oct Missouri Arkansas, Indiana and
Kentucky a personal appeal to the
operators to walk out and stay out
until conditions are bettered. Presi
dent Small, in his letter, says In
part:
NO serious effort has been mad
up to this time to call out those work.
ing in the smaller offices, but the
stubbornness and unwillingness of the
two great companies TO acknowledge
defeat makes 1t necessary that we
now call upon all managers and teleg.
raphers in the smaller offices to re.
spond to the call. This applies to
non-union as well as union telegra.
piers"
The same action, II Is understood,
will be taken by the 1856 locals in the
United States, including Dallas,
reaching probably $4,000 offices.
New York, Aug. 6.-Superintend-
ent Brooks OF the Western Union
made denial this afternoon of the
statements of President Small of the
Telegraphers' Union that the West.
ern Union had abolished the double
pay system, and that half of the
working force who had been paid
on Friday had failed to report to.
day
Mr. Brooks said The Western
Union has not abolished the double
pay Every man who was paid on
Friday reported for work today, and
the campany has all the men It
wants. The statement that our Off.
cials are working the wires to help
break the strike Is false"
