Need Not Shave Negroes.

Hartford, Conn, Mar. S.-The
Supreme Court of the State has
just handed down a decision to
the effect that BARRIERS in the
State need not shave colored
men. The decision was reached
on an appeal from a Superior
Court decision in Bridgeport by
Henry Ii. Foulkner, a colored
man, who brought suit against
Thomas Solazzi, barber of that
city. Solazzi refused to shave
Foulkner, his defense being that
his barber shop was not a place

the meaning of the law. The
Supreme Court upholds that
contention.

North Carolina Mill Men Win
Decision Means Much to
The Mill Owners--They
Can Now Start Idle Looms
by Bringing in Labor.

Greensboro, N c., March T.
The trial of the test case against
the Charlotte mill men, who
were sued by the government for
$71 900 in penalties for alleged
violations of the immigration
laws, ended rather suddenly and
abruptly in United States cir
cult court this evening when
upon the motion of counsel for
the government the jury was in
structed to bring in verdict in
favor of the defendants. This
carries all of the suits against The
men off the docket and q mol
prorse was taken in the criminal
case charging them with con-
spiracy.
There were II of the aliens
who came to America to work in
the mills in and around Char
lotte.
The defendants offered as a
defense that Costello exceeded
his authority as agent and Judge
Boyd held that the government
must show that the defendants
shared in the unlawful purpose
with Costello. The defendants
also contended that as there was
not skilled labor of a like kind
unemployed in this country, they
were not amenable to the law.
The defendants brought cotton
mill men from every section of
the country to testify that there
is great scarcity of cotton mill
help. Ii was shown that there is
millions of dollars worth of ma
chinery standing idle jim the mills
of the south and east on account
of scarcity of labor.
Much interest is felt in the
case by cotton mill men. They
believe they are now nearer the
point where they can bring in
labor to start their idle machin-
cry without fear of this form of
molestation from government o.
ficials in this district.
