A REVISION OF
LAWS NECESSARY
Laws Directed Toward Separation of
Races Do Not Apply to Persons
of Mixed Blood.

New Orleans, La, April 25.-That a
great deal of legislation in Louisiana
directed toward the separation of the
white and colored races will have to
be revised, was indicated today by the
decision of the spreme court, which
held that many of these laws do not
apply to octoroons or other persons
OF mixed blood Many of the laws
merely use the word negro in the text.
The court holds that a person of mix
ed blood is not a negro. The case in
question was that of Octave, white
man charged with violating the mis-
cegenation law. He was living with
an octoroon.

In his different factories Mr.. Moore en-
ploys several thousand men Yet he

and practically all by sight. He has never
had a strike. There Is no pension system

very small he adopted a policy, which he

his factories in small towns. places of from

gives is that the workmen in such places
are usually much more intelligent than
those of large cities. are more closely at

educated and better able to enjoy the
amenities OF life. are more likely to be con-
tented and happy.
