JUSTICES, WANT
A NEW BILL

AS the lave now stands the highest
fine that can be assessed by a justice
of the peace is $500 and they have
In the city courts a fine may be impos-
ed as high as $500 and a six months
jail sentence.
The statute also states that in the
trial OF civil cases justice has jur-
isdiction to try case only to the
amount of 500. A clause in the bill
will ask for the power to pass upon
civil matters as high as $500. This it
is thought will relieve the higher
courts of a number of petty cases that
have SO congested the courts. A JUS
tice of peace will practically have the
power of the municipal courts in Chi
cage and other larger cities which
have been recognized as a success.
We justices of peace do not have
power enough said a local justice

j. B. OSBY WINS CIVIL RIGHTS
CASE,

j. b. Osby, ex-Supervisor and
a member of The Forum Printing
Co., won his suit in East st. Louis
last week. Last summer Mr.. Osby
was in East st. Louis on business
and stopped in a restaurant to get
a meal. The proprietor, or his
agent, refused him, whereupon
suit was brought under the statute,
which forbids any place, known in
law as a public place, !" refusing
to serve man or person merely
on account of race or nationality.
Attorney w. A. Barnett had the
case. The victory is significant.
