postmaster Of New York City, was seri-
ously wounded in the abdomen Mon

Separate Race Schools Sustained.

Washington.-In deciding the case
of Hersa college vs.. the state Of Ken
lucky favorably to the state, the Su-
preme Court of the United States Mon
day decided that the states of the
union may constitutionally legislate to
prevent the co-education OF the white
and black races. The case was insti-
tutsd to test the validity of the state
law Of 1904 prohibiting white and black
children from attending the same
schools. The higher state court took
the position that the white and black
races are naturally antagonistic, and
that the forced separation of the chill
drsn Of the two is in the line Of preser-
walton of peace.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
was handed down by Justice Brewer
and affirmed the finding of both the
Kentucky Circuit Court and the Court
Of Appeals. Justice Harlan and Day
disssnted.

Helen. her maid and chauffeur from
horrible death, and untold loss OF
pedestrians lives, countless damage
and general havoc in front of the In
ternational Trust Company in the
Equitable building shortly before 3
o'clock Monday afternoon.
Under the threat of being blown TO
atoms by an unknown woman OF mys-
terry who demanded $4,000, Mrs.
Phipps was forced to accompany the
woman to her bank, with her little
daughter as hostage. The woman, ap-
parently cultured. well educated and
possessed of refinement, halted Mrs.
