Justice Wright's Opinion.

In his decision Justice Wright said:
There was to be observed of the child
no physical characteristic which afforded
ocular evidence suggestive of auSht but
Caucasian. Her father while o. light
complexion. presents TO the eye racial
characteristics which identify him of ne
gro blood. her mother, formerly wife to
a Monaghan. is taken to be white.
Although providing for separate white
and cOlored schools, Congress has by no
enactment undertaken TO define what race
or what percentage or proportion of ra cal
blood shall characterize an individual as
'colored': therefore, the term, being with
out Legislative definition, is left to the
import ascribed to it III the common par
lance of the people
There is then to he examined whether
in the week day speech of the people, the
word 'colored. bears a significance which
should be considered to include this child.
While there is no good argument nor
any other kind of good consdera ton
which opposes the conclusion that, no
matter what the complexion. admiXture
of negro blood makes one 'colored if 1t

CONFERENCE OF HOUSES

The reading Of a message from
President Taft urging that the sixty
day clause be eliminated SO that the
bill might go into effect Immediately
had just been concluded and the re-
publican applause which greeted it had
hardly died away when Mr.. Mann made
his request. No democrat objected, and
it looked very much as If there would
be no row at all over the proposition.
when Mr.. Lenroot registered his OBJ
jections. The democrats applauded.
Senate Amendments Read.
The clerk then began to read the Senate
amendments. Mr.. Mann asked that this
fornality be dispensed with on tho ground
that all members Of the House knew what
they were. but this time Representative
Fitzgerald Of New York objected.
The House leaders are confident Of be-
ing able to master enough votes to send

dents recommendations will be followed.
Debate of Two Hours.
After the reading OF the Senate
amendment had been concluded, Chair
man Mann moved that the House dis
agree to the Senate amendment and
ask for a conference.
Representative Lenroot Of Wisconsin
offered a substitute motion that the
House agree to the Senate amendment
with the exception Of section 9, which

Regarded as a Victory.

At the interstate commerce commission
the result Of the conference between the
President and the presidents Of the TWEEN
ty-four railroads involved in the suit
against the Western Trunk Line Associa-
ton is looked upon as a decided victory
for the administration and much praise
Is accorded President Taft for the firm
ness with which he handled the situation.
The willingness OF the railroad men to
withdraw their increased rates came as
a surprise to the members of the inter-
state commerce commission. who had be-
lieved the roads intended to fight the
matter to finish.
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Lane said today in an interview:
1.-The result OF the conference nj the
White House yesterday cannot fail to be
beneficial to the general public. since
the increased rates will be withdrawn
and the roads have agreed not to file
increased rates again until after the en-
actment of the pending railroad law.
The new law, as 1t has passed the
Senate. gives the interstate commerce
commission the right to pass upon rates
filed with 1t before the rates become eff
fective. right which the commission
does not now possess. In consequence of
the agreement reached kat the White
House the roads will fbt raise their

Racial Status Considered.

The sense of sight is but one avenue
for the conveyance of information upon
the subject of racial identity to the mind
of the investigator. Actual color seems
to the public mind to be important only
as one OF the several evidences which, if
sufficiently pronounced, serve to identify
the subject as of the negro race: and this
consideration-that is to say, the consid-
Grafton Of racial status-seems to my
mind to measure an ultimate conception
to which the mind of the people has ar
rived.
1t is this. putting away for the moment
particular instances which might present
more refined complications: Persons of
whatever complexion who bear the negro
blood in whatever degree and who abide
in the racial status of the negro are
ColOred il the common estimation OF the
people.
THE child at bar has acquired no
racial status personal to itself: its status
of necessity is that OF its father. This.
and that of his parental ancestors has.
as is conceded, been always that of the
negro. He himself has thus been COM
monty known and identified. His bust
ness. to the extent proven. proprietor of

ut is to be concluded that the child is
of negro blood, one-eighth to one-Six-
teenth: that her racial status is that of
the negro She is, therefore. colored.
according to the common meaning of the
term. and the application for the writ of
mandamus must be denied.
Story of the Case.
Isabel l. Wall, the seven-year-oid daugh-
ter of Stephen r. Wall, was admitted to
the first grade of BrOokldnd white
school at the beginning of the term last
fall and remained until September 80,
1907 when the principal of the school
notified the mother that certain rumors''
made it impossible for the child to longer
attend the school. The matter was re-
ferred to Superintendent of Schools Stu
art. who upheld the principal
The father then referred the case to the
board of education. which, without de-
Gliding the racial status. upheld the prin-
cipaI. The father. through Attorney John
Ridout then filed writ OF madamus
against the board of education to COM
pei the admittance of the child TO a white
school.
When the case first came before Jus
tice Wright lie decided that tine board
of education would first have to decide
the status of the child. which resulted
in a session OF the board, at which Il
vote was taken. resulting in the decision
poses the Wall child was a negro.
The case was again taken before JUS
tice Wright, being defended by Assistant
United States Attorney s. G. Peelle.
which resulted in the decision today.
