Mixed Bloods Are Not Ne
groes And May Mingle
With Whites.
The Daily Picayune.

The Supreme Court of Louisi-
ana by a vote Of three to two, JUS
tees Nichols and Land dissen-
ting, has decided that the state
law prohibiting concubinage be-
tween tho racss in Louisiana af-
fects only pure-blooded whites and
pure bloodsd blacks. Where 9th
er party is Of mixed blood there is
no prohibition under the law. 1t
follows under this decision that
were persons are charged with
concubinage, and either pleads in
defence that he or she is of mixed
blood, which would bar prosecu-
ton, it will be incumbent on tho
state to prove tho purity of tho
race, a problem vast moro difficult
than the proving of race mixture.
Justice Land, in his dissenting
opinion, declares that under tho
decision of tho court, the Gay
Shattuck law, which forbid whites
and negroes to DO served with IL.
quors at the same bar, can apply
to whites and blacks. and the pro-
hibition does not extend to mulat-
toes or to critics, who are the Off
spring of negroes aud mulattoes,
and they have q right to be served
at the same bars and tables with
whites. Obviously between whites
and critics is entirely lawful un-
der the decision of the court. JUS

KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 25.-
A good run of quarantine cattle here
the last days of last week brought the
total for the week up to 727 car loads
small gain over the previous week
but 200 cars short of same week last
year. Steers gained a little first OF
the week, but lost it later in the week
and medium to common kinds closed
10 TO 20 lower for the week Cows and
calves remained unchanged for the
week, supply of calves 3,200 head in
quarantine division, largest of the sea-
son. The run of quarantines today is
1 $50 car loads, thirty-one cars less than
week ago, but the total supply of
cattle is 10000 head here, considerab-
ly above a week ago. All the other
markets have liberal runs today, and
buyers are in command of the situa-
ton. Killers loaded up pretty well
last week, as total runs we're large at
all points, and a decline of to 20
cents today is a natural consequence.
Some early sales today were executed,
and the bulk Of the business was done
on a lower basis, 10 to Is cents. A por-
tion of today's receipts are forced in
by dry weather, and fears of drought
in different localities are heard today.
The Usage country is complaining on
this score. and is said to be getting
ready to run a lot of cattle this week
If IL doesn't rain. Big runs may be
expected right along from now on,
even without any dry weather incen-
tive. Top quarantines sold at $3.50 to-
day. medium steers at s4.35 to s4.9O,
Gamer steers down to $3.50, fair to
good COWS and heifers $40 to 1915,
ca a'ves 25 TO 80 cents lower today, tops
$500.
Hogs made a gain of 3 to 10 cents
last week on the moderate run of S5,-
600 head, in spite of loss of 10 to
15 cents first days of the week. The
good gains late in the week did not
abate the bearish sentiment going

SHERMAN OVERRULED
ON QUORUM POINT
Senate Thinks Members ''Pair-
ed'' Should Not Be Count
ed as Present.

BY overturning a ruling of the Vice
President, taken on an appeal from a
decision of the chair. the Senate yester-
day formally and impressively determined
that there was to be no counting of a
quorum in the upper house like that in
the Reed days in the lower house.
ut hurts me as much as it does YOU
the Senate seemed to be saying. as it put
the Vice President over it's knee for a
little admonishing.
The trouble was started Saturday by
the ruling of the Vice President that,
upon vote, he could count senators an
nouncing pairs and not voting, as well
as senators who said aye Or no" in
determining that quorum was present
for the transaction of business.
When the journal came up for approval
yesterday a number of senator's took the
opportunity to tell the Vice President thai
he had been naughty" But the Senate
spared the rod by voting approval of the
journal in which the decision was re-
corded.
"A word to the wise is sufficient" the
Senate thought, and let it go at that.
Case Comes Up Again.
Later in the day, however a condition
exactly similar to that which called forth
Saturdays ruling arose. On a roll call
on motion of Senator Bristow to strike
out one of the claims Of the omnibus
claims bill there were twenty-one yeas
and twenty-three nays" Three less
than ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS voted
The Vice President ruled THAT on the
vote quorum was present. as six SEN
ators. in addition to those who actually
voted, announced their pairs
No time was lost in taking an appeal
from the decision. Senators Heybilrn
Hale and Beverage all clamored for
recognition, each having best way OF
settling tie question. Finally Senator
Hale was recognized, ard he took an an
peal from the decision of the chair. A
roll call was ordered IA the vote.
BY 81 to II the Senate voted to over
throw the ruling Of the chair AS the
voting was going on Senator Hepburn
attempted to raise another point.
Appeal Has Its Effect.
will not the senator let this ex-
pressive and overwhelming vote of the
Senate be passed without interfering
with it?" asked Senator Hale. The an
PEAL had its effect.
Those voting to sustain the Vice
President were Senators Bourne Brad
ley. Brown. Carter, Crawford, Cullom.
Dixon. Gallinger. Jones. Lodge, Lori
mer. Page, Piles. Root, Scott, Smith Of
Michigan and Warner.
Those voting to overthrow the chair
were Senators Bacon, Bailey, Beveridge
Borah, Brandegee, Bristow Burkett
Burnham. Chamberlain, Clapp, Clark of
Wyoming. Culberson. Cummins, Dick
Fletcher, Flint, Hale, Hepburn. Kean.
