RACES IN SCHOOLS
MOBILE BOARD DECIDES DELL
 CATE QUESTION
Holds That It Has Nc Right to Cast Doubt en the Sprinkle Family
 of Dauphin Is-

Mobile, Jan. I3.--(Special.D At the regular monthly meeting of the County School Board today much routine bus mess was transaeted.
 The Board also considered the Sprinkle -Ra Hey Steiner controversy re- gsrding the color of the former and decided that the evidence. presented was not sufficient to justify the Board in declaring itself as to Mrs. Elisabeth Sprinkle's race or interfering with the attendance of her descendants in the Dauphin. Island school
 After hearing the reports of officers and disposing of minor matters the Board took up the question of the charges against the Sprinkles. The Board declared that the accusations of Andrew Steiner and George Railey af- fecting the color. of his grandparents, John and Elizabeth Sprinkle, were the work of spite and made. because of re- fusals of marriage with them on the part of his sister and niece, William H. Sprinkle, a resident of Pass Christian, and who said that for four years he has been warden of the Audubon Soci- ety of Louisiana. This focused a ray of light through the turbulent race controversy of Dauphin Island.
 A preponderance of evidence offered by members of the Sprinkle family the attendance of whose children at the Dauphin Island school engendered the feeling in Q few late corners on the island. went to show that the family had always been looked upon. regarded and socially received as white people:
 On the other hand, Steiner. Rairey and Albert Bosarge, the latter admit ting that he had been paid to collect the evidence to be presented, offered four afiidayits from persons in Jack son County, Mississippi. Three of these making the affidavits were shown to be negroes and the fourth a white man whose mental capacity was said to be uncertain and who iS also deaf and blind. 1t is alleged.
 After hearing the evidence of both sides the board members discussed the subject. It came out in the evidence that in each instance white marriage licenses had been Issued descendants of the Sprinkles and in discussing this feature Commissioner Gaillard was of the opinion that in declaring Elizabeth Sprinkle a negro the Board would be assuming the position of attacking the legality of every marriage of the de- scendants of the woman.
 Commissioners Inge and Hines re- viewed the evidence presented and voiced the sentiments of Commissioner GaiIlard.
 Commissioner Hines then offered this resolution covering the Sprinkle color question. which was adopted without a dissenting voice:
 Resolved, That the Board having heard the evidence pro and con as to the race of Mrs John Sprinkle at Dauphin Island. is of the opinion that the evidence is not sufficient to war rant the Board in declaring itself as to the race of Mrs. Sprinkle or inter- fering with the Attendance of her de- scendantz at, the Dauphin Island school"
 Other matters disposed of. the Board adiourned.
