WHAT IS A NEGRO IN LAWo

The Supreme Court of Louisiana has
a question before it which is of great
interest to the people of that State.
This is case which comes up from the
Circuit Court, in which Judge Chretien
decided that the anti-concubinage law
passed at the last session of the Legis-
lature was unconstitutional. He held
that a person of mixed white and negro
blood was not a negro. If this doctrine
should be upheld by the Supreme Court,
then every Louisiana statute providing
for the segregation or separation of the
races would prove null and void. Among
these statutes are those providing for
separate Jim Crow car system and sep
aration of the races in the street cars.
theaters, railroad stations, hotels and
bar-rooms. What is known as the Shat
tuck law closed four-fifths of the sa-
looms in the State for negros, and has
proved blessing to the race. The mar
riage laws of Louisiana have almost ex-
tinguished liaisons between the whites
and blacks. The case now before the
Supreme Court is that of Octave Tread
way, a white man, and Josephine Light
hill, an octoroon. They lived together
as man and wife, but were prohibited
from marriage by the old anti-mis-
cegenation law. The District Attorney
began proceedings against them, and
they fed to New Orleans, where they
hoped to be lost sight of, but family
bitterness pursued them, and they were
brought to trial, and their attorney
pleaded that Josephine was not a negro,
but an octoroon. The Judge sustained
the plea, deciding that a person in
whom white blood predominated could
not be called a negro. If this decision
