COURT IS DIVIDED
Bell Company Wins Suit Started
by Mrs. Susie Brown.
ASKED CIVIL RIGHTS DAMAGES
Iowa Supreme Court Holds That Pri-
vate Business Concern Is Per-
mitted to Refuse Negro at
Food Show.

Des Moines, Nov. 20.-The Iowa
ness concern serving coffee or lunch
es or giving away souvenirs at a
pure food show is not obliged to serve
a negro unless it feels like doing so.
and that business concern can make
such a discrimination against a ne
gro, even though the person SO dis
eliminated against pays the regular
admission to the pure food show and
is as much visitor at the show as
white person.
The question was brought up in
the case of Mrs. Susie Brown against
the ]. H. Bell company. Mrs. Brown
attended the Des Moines Pure Food
show on Nov. %, 1907, and paid her
admission. Appearing at the booth
OF the Bell company, she asked for
a cup Of coffee and was told by j. F.
Lane, in charge of the booth, that
the company did not serve negroes.
She brought action in the district
court for $1,000 damages for the hu.
initiation. A demurrer was overruled
and the question taken to the SUI
preme court.
The court In its majority opinion
holds that the sole question involved
was whether or not under the civil
rights act of Iowa, Mrs. Brown suf
fered any injury to ner rights wher
she was refused coffee that was giver
white women. The majority opinion
also holds that the Bell company wal
merely a COMMISSIONER at the show
was not per Sc a part of the show
to the extent that those who paid t,
see the show were entitled to gift
which concessioners might make t.
visitors, and that those booths wer
In the nature of a strictly private busi
ness. The court then holds that sue
being the case, a person engaged il
a strictly private business can d
business with any person he sees fl
and can discriminate against any pei
son he chooses.
Chief Justice Evans and Justic
Weaver strongly dissented from tn
opinion of the majority, and held tina
the plaintiff was entitled to be serve
with coffee the same as white womel
because the booths were part of tn
general show.
