Newburgh, n. Y. Aug. 3O.-The
citizens of Newburg and vicinity
are not through talking about the
ludicrous antics of a Col. Andrew
Jackson Caldwell, who refers to
himself as Southern gentleman
of Red River Parish, La" who
was the chief funmaker in a scene
on the steamship Hendrick Hud-
son. of the Hudson River Day
Line, one day last week.
On the same boat were MIR. and
Mrs. Clarence Edward Claypool,
colored, who were on honeymoon.
The comedy scenes were not enact
ed until the newly-wedded pair,
becoming hungry, went to the din
ingroom to get something to eat
The colonel was already within
and was attacking an ear OF corn
aggressively when the chief stew
ard of the steamer assigned Mr.
and Mrs. Claypool to the same
table with 1.-The Southern gentle
man of Red River Parish, La"
When the honeymooners sat
down the colonel emitted a yell
which startled the diners and
brought forth all the walters on
the scene. He jumped up from
the table as if something had ex-
ploded under him, and with the
ear of corn in one hand and his
mouth very greasy, and napkin
tucked under his chin, he demand
ed why he was put at the same
table with two yankee niggers.
The steward sought to sooth the
colonel's wounded feelings, ex-
planning that customs were differ
emf in Louisiana and New York,
but he would not listen to such
talk and left the diningroom car
rying his ear of corn He appear
ed on the upper deck in an angry
mood, and when he told a bystand-
er of the "great insult" that had
been heaped upon a Southerner OF
his standing, he was informed that
the seating of Negroes in adlnlng-
room with whites was nothing un-
usual and that it was the custom
in the North. This statement
made the colonel worse, and he de-
clared that never again would ne
set foot north of the Mason and
Dixon line. He declared that he
was surprised and mortified to
think that the people of the North
were lacking in civilization.
Clarence Edward Claypool was
born in Boston and is a college
graduate. He has been employed
as pullman porter on the Boston

For the past few years the Luth-
Grams have made great efforts to
win colored converts and they now
have thirty-one colored congrega-
tions in the country. Most of the
churches are led by colored pas
tors, and in order to train the col
ored young men in the Lutheran
ministry two colleges have been
founded and are doing a snccess-
full work. One of these is The
Luther College at New Orleans,
where there are twenty-seven stu
dents. A larger college, Concor-
dia, at greensboro, N. O., has 1O5
students registered.

RICHMOND. Va. May 6-Enforced seq
regation under the Fonderlehr ordinance
recently passed by the city council and
approved by the mayor Is contrary to the
States and can be revoked under two de-
cisions of the United States Supreme
Court according to Attorney Alfred f.
Cohen. who has been retained to resist
the enforcement of the ordinance and
who called al the office of City Clerk
August this morning to notify him to that
effect
Ever since the passage of the ordinance
Clerk August has been a kind of storm
center, numbers of protesting citizens
calling upon him to express their opinion
of 1t and to ask If in some way It's pro
visions could not be evaded
Mr.. August has replied In every in
stance that the Eonderlehr ordinance has
been enacted into law and would have to
be obeyed to the letter until repealed.
Attorney Cohen this morning cited two
suits which had resulted from an at
tempt to enforce a Junk dealer ordi-
nance In a not distant city. The ordi-
nance provided that junk dealers couil
not move into certain sections of the city,
but those living there when the ordinance
was passed were allowed to retain their
places of business in the otherwise for
hidden sections.
On the ground OF discrimination the
Supreme Court declared the ordinance I'M
constitutional and Mr.. Cohen declares
against the Vonderlehr ordinance of this
City.
