with summons, answered and set up a

been served on Sexsmith, and some

made to set it aside. The motion was

1t is worthy of note that among the
strongest professionals against the po-
lice policy of protection to negro and
white dives in the city are the law
abiding negroes. The resolutions
adopted by the negro pastors and
published last week, calling for law
enforcement with special reference
to such places, were significant and
gratifying A very large proportion
of the negroes of Cairo are law-abid
Ing people. That so many of them
are not and are so often in evidence
as disturbers, Is due principally to
the criminal want of police control, as
exemplified in the case Of the Balti-
more dive and numerous others.
