NEGROES BUYING PROPERTY
Times Dispatch Bureau,
Munsey Building,

Washington u G.. oct. =.
5ia Washington is Just now up against
two race problems. The one affects
her schools and the other her homes.
s. Superintendent Chancellor. in his an
t1lal report, stated a few days ago
that the negro schools of the city re-
tarded improvements that would other
wise be made in the white schools. He
said that the improvements he had in
mind were not adapted to the negro
schools. and that since all schools have
to be treated alike, all that could be
done is not to make the improvements
at all.
This put some negro lawyers on
their ears. and they are threatening
Chancellor with all sorts of dire
things They want him removed, want
a separate school board for negro
schools, and other things too numerous
to mention
Chancellor has replied to them.
stating that If a negro school board
were appointed it would result in lit
tie more than the positions as teach
ers and principals in the negro schools
going to the highest bidder. as they
did prior to 1900 under regime of
that kind. He further serves notice
on the negroes that he will not stand
for their accepting fees to secure po-
sitions, ana announces that hereafter
whenever negro teacher gives
negro lawyer fee to look after his
or her interests in an effort to secure
appointment no appointment will be
given to such teacher.
The other question is over the right
If an individual to sell a house to
negro, even though there las been n
covenant not to do so in the deed. Tho
case in point is the suburb of Bloom
lngdale. When this suburb was built
and the houses sold, there was a cove
nant that they should never be sold
or rented to any person with negro
blood in his veins. Anu there was a
further lien of $4,000 retained perpet-
ually on each house to be collected
only in the event that this covenant
was violated. Some one has violated
i. now, and the matter is going to be
taken to the courts. There have been
some similar transactions heretofore,
but they have been compromised pc
fore being passed upon by the courts.
All sorts of devious ways have been
adopted by the better-to-do negroes TO
break into the exclusively white dis
tricts, and some one has observed that
there is no place in Washington where
you can get more than half a BLOCK
away from negro house. This is not
exactly true, but it does indicate 9
condition that will not be found in any
other American city of consequence.
