SEGREGATION IN RICHMOND.
CITY Will Pass Ordinance Similar to
Baltimore Idea.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, February 4.-The city
of Richmond is to enact color-i1ne resi-
Dental ordinance, which will be as rigid
as the Baltimore ordinance. The demand
for the law is due to the advance of ne
groes into what has for years been the
center OF the residential section for the
whites.
The result of this has been to reduce
the value of the property to less than
half its former value, causing losses to the
owners. The ordinance will prohibit any
white person from occupying any house
on any block where the majority of the
residents are colored people, and likewise
the colored population is prohibited from
moving into any premises on a block
where the majority are white residents.
Recently negroes purchased property
and were preparing to move in. but the
enactment Of the ordinance will put an
end to this invasion OF white territory.
There has been an organized protest
against allowing negroes to move into
certain sections.
The real trouble was due to the fact
that negroes have built bank on a
thoroughfare which has for years been
the section in which the old families
resided.

HITS RACE DIVISION
Court Deals Blow to Plan to
Segregate Negroes.
BAL IM0RE LAW INVALID
Decision Says Title Violates Section
of the City Charter-To Pre-
pare Another Ordinance.


blow was dealt the West segregation or
dinance today, when, upon a demurrer
to an indictment under which the valid
1ty OF the measure was being tested
Judges Harlan and Duffy ordered the
whole proceedings thrown out of court.
The order Of the court brands as null and
void the entire ordinance. and puts a
stop to all prosecutions that have been
| undertaken under it by the police.
The demurrer. which was upheld by
| the court. was upon the ground that
there was defect in the title of the
measure The point made was sustained
by Judges Harlan and Duffy, and the
| trial of this specific case, which had been
selected as a test was Immediately con-
| cluded
The ruling came after an argument
Whlch began last Saturday, and it fol-
lowed an admission by States ATTORNEY
owens that the ordinance was not valid.
In his admission following the argument

or the ordinance sufficient to cover the

Conflicts With City Charter.
The ruling. of Judge Harlan, after con-
sultation with Judge Duffy, was:
we agree with the state that, by
reason of the fact that the title to this
orc, ahe violates section 22l Of the
! praced IN At is not described therein
| as required, the whole ordinance is in
valid and the demurrer to the indict-
ment framed upon the same will have
! to be sustained. Whether 1t, Is possible
| to pass valid ordinance providing for
segregation of white and colored
races in their places of residence is
a question of great Importance, but 1t
Is one which in our judgment ought to
be decided when an ordinance other
wise valid is before this court
| Mr.. Owens. in giving the court his

| II consider the title OF the ordinance

sayily defective in the event that the

legal In other words, il the provisions
OF the ordinance were proper. the court
would not feel itself compelled to
