MRS. s. JOE BROWN LOSES HER

vs.. Bell, who refused 70 serve her with
q cup Of coffee. The COURT snstains

Judges dissenting, Judges Eyans and

Brown lost this casA, sshs
was greatly humiliated. and those par-
ties ought to be made to suffer IN some
way for their action. Judge Evans, IN
dissenting, says:
Law Does Not Protect.
There Is no question but what Mrs.
Brown was Inundated by the act OF
the coffee company's agent In refusing
to serve her with sample cup Of cof-
fee. but, as the opinion reads, 1T was
one of those social humiliations which
the law does not undertake to protect"
Divorced from all sentiment" the
supreme court says, the case does not
come within the civil rights statute
upon which 1t Is based. The coffee
company cannot be held guilty OF VI
olating the statute"
Chief Justice Evans and Justice
Weaver, in dissenting, say the major-
ity of justices are wrong In holding
that the coffee company was not CIV
ing public show nor maintaining q
public refreshment booth. True, they
say, it was hut part of the whole
show, but the show was made up Of
the various booths and without the
booths there would be no show. Hence,
all should be considered as one.
Evans Opinion.
In the dissenting opinion, which was
written by Chief Justice Evans. is the
following: \
aThe majority opinion is professed-
" divorced from sentiment, but the
statute Is a statute of sentiment. II
had its origin in sentiment and draws
all It's life therefrom. 1t does not deal
with ordinary property rights. 1t Is q
form Of the chivalry of the older days.
1t is an embodiment In statutory form
sof the sympathy of the dominant race
for the weaker race In Its struggle for
the higher levels Of worthy citizen
ship. The struggle Is strenuous at
best. Perhaps no race that has aspir-
ed to the recognition Of higher civili-
zation has ever carried q heavier load
Of disadvantage. This Was the sttua-
ton that appealed to the trainers OF
the statute. It was framed In language
broad and compreb ansive. Its mani
fest purpose was, and Is, to protect
this burdened' race against the further
burden Of public discrimination and
humiliation. It does not attempt to
deal with social rights, nor was there
any question of social rights involved
In this case, nor was the humiliation
OF the plaintiff mere social humili-
alton as Indicated in the majority
opinion" !"
Justice Deemer wrote the majority
opinion, which was concurred tn by
all save Chief Justice Evans and JUS
stice Weaver. Il
